H270 Historical Thinking3 credit(s)
This is a sophomore-level course for students intending to major or minor in history or those interested in exploring this major. The course introduces students to the discipline of history, and in particular to the skills of thinking historically, of collecting and analyzing historical evidence, of critically reading the work of historians. The course also focuses on close readings of one or more major historical works which make large claims about the human experience by integrating approaches from several disciplines, and also on critical evaluation of the debates generated by these works. The course encourages students to broadly synthesize their learning and to deeply reflect on the nature of the historical discipline. There are no prerequisites for this course, but completion of a college level history course is recommended.
