Historical Approaches to Global Affairs

Undergraduate

This course introduces students to a variety of historical approaches to the study of Global Affairs, with an eye to assessing different ways to understand the past in relation to the present, including the use of archival documents, published primary and secondary sources, oral history, Artificial Intelligence, and even (briefly) quantitative studies of the past. This course is designed to meet the Qualitative Methods requirement for Global Affairs majors. It is thus open first and foremost to students who have already declared a Global Affairs majors, though other students may be admitted on a space-available basis, most likely during the add/drop period.
