History Colloquium

Undergraduate credit

Intensive examination of historical problems of limited scope either as delimited historical events (e.g., the French Revolution) as single analytical themes developed over time (e.g., urbanization in America), or as problems in the philosophy of history (e.g., objectivity, determinism). Classes of twenty students or less are designed to exploit an educational setting unlike that of the large lecture course. Major stress on critical reading and class discussion.
