HIST7400 · History
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This seminar provides guidance and community to students of modern history writing a chapter-length research paper on a topic of their choice. Our common quest is to explore, together and individually, how to think history globally whether in terms of connections, comparisons, concepts, or contexts. To the historian's preoccupation with temporality we bring an intentional focus on space, place, and scale, or the siting of our projects in their physical, social, or intellectual environs. Experimentation with the writing process is as important an objective as improving structure and argument of the written text, and non-textual sources are encouraged.
