Research in Modern International/Global History

Graduate / Professional

This seminar provides an opportunity for graduate students to write a research paper on international/global history, broadly defined to include diplomacy, economic relations, social movements, cultural and intellectual connections, and other topics. The first part of the seminar includes readings and class discussions that focus on hands-on strategies and tactics for historical research and academic writing. Later seminar meetings are oriented toward benchmarks and workshops on students’ own research projects. Note: Undergraduate and M.A. students are required to request instructors permission and to submit a very brief note indicating why they think this class would be a good fit for them. Ph.D. students need to request permission but do not need to submit any notes—I will automatically approve them. T 1:30pm-3:25pm
