What you’ll be able to do

  • Understand that History is an interpretive account of the human past, one that historians create in the present from surviving evidence.

  • Think self-consciously about the various methodologies that historians employ.

  • Ask questions of primary sources of various types, including, if appropriate, non-textual sources, and use those sources to craft interpretations of the past in written and oral form.

  • Reflect upon how the class materials allow them to better understand themselves, their own societies, and the larger global community, by engaging with multiple and diverse perspectives.
