Course Description:

Historiography is, at heart, a study of the history of histories. It reviews and evaluates histories written on various topics and it analyzes theories, and methods that historians have used. In this advanced course, we study how history is written and write some history ourselves. Students discuss how history writing has evolved over time, analyze their own writings of history, look at competing perspectives, apply historical research methodologies to original work, and evaluate historians in their areas of interest. The course culminates with the writing of an original historiographic essay.

Prerequisites: One or more advanced level courses in Historical Studies.
