Readings in History

This course provides students with an opportunity to undertake a program of in-depth reading in an area of history under the guidance of a staff member. Its purpose is to provide an in-depth opportunity for independent study where there is a demonstrated need, such as when a student desires to undertake in-depth reading in preparation for an Advanced Masters Thesis, or if existing courses cannot be taken. The nature of the program will be negotiated between the student and a proposed supervisor, but might include Australian History, Indigenous History, Environmental History, Imperial and Colonial History, Medieval and Early Modern History, the history of Gender and Sexuality, American History, European History, or Transnational History. Students must gain the formal agreement of a staff member and the program convenor to supervise them before enrolling in this course. This course may be repeated for credit and taken up to 4 times if a different topic is studied each time. Enrolment multiple times in a teaching session is permitted with permission from the convenor.
