Thinking Historically

This class will examine the skills associated with historical thinking and the application of those skills across many contexts. The course will involve guest speakers who use historical thinking in their work and daily lives as well as assignments aimed at applying historical thinking to uses inside and outside of the classroom. The final project will involve the class curating, annotating, and sharing a collection of primary sources with a wider public. We will work together to decide upon the topic, sources, format, and audience.
