HI 450 - Topics in Historiography

4.00 credits.

This course provides students with the opportunity to think critically about how historians “produce” history. We will spend much of our time analyzing the various methods that scholars have employed to interpret the past and further contextualize the assumptions, biases, and interpretive paradigms that have moved the historical profession along. In short, we will focus not on the “what” of history but on the “why” and “how.” *Prerequisite(s): Enrollment limited to junior and senior history majors. Signature Learning Experience: Capstone Experience.
