This course focuses on the discipline of history: what it is, what historians do, how they do it, and why. A reading and writing-intensive course, we will examine the discipline of history, exploring different schools of historical thought. Part of the process of investigating the history of History will be an examination of our assumptions about the past, about history, and about the discipline of History. We will focus on the processes of historical research and writing, with an emphasis on the development of skills in primary source analysis, critique of scholarly opinion, organization of research, critical thinking, effective writing, and verbal communication of arguments and ideas in a seminar setting.
