Methods & Approaches to History

(4 Credits)

This course serves as a dual orientation for MA students. First, it introduces about a dozen approaches and fields of historical research. Second, it introduces students to NYU and its History Department. By the end of the semester, students will have (1) expanded their historiographical literacy; (2) developed their ability to read and discuss unfamiliar work, and (3) reflected upon a range of questions and approaches that might inform their own future work
