Section Description

What is historical scholarship? How does it differ from other kinds of scholarship and from popularly oriented history writing? These are among the questions we will deal with in this seminar. Ultimately our aim will be to impart the knowledge and skills needed for designing, researching, and writing an original work of historical scholarship—a paper of around 20 pages—based on primary source materials. The thematic focus for student projects in this section of HST 2050B will be the decades of the 1930s and 1940s. Research projects may focus on such topics as Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, the Soviet Union under Stalin, the Depression, the New Deal in the United States, and World War Two.
