HIST 298 What is History? 6 credits
This class is an intensive introduction to theories, methods, and debates in the discipline of history. Its purpose is to demonstrate the wide variety of ways in which historians approach the study of the past, rather than any specific historical topic or moment. We will address several fundamental and interrelated questions throughout the term: How do historians aim to reconstruct the lives and events of the past? To what extent is the past knowable? What is the role of “truth” in the writing of history? Who writes history and for whom is it written?
