Seminar in Advanced Historical Research

This course aims to develop students’ capacities in historical research and its writing. In particular, it will assist students to undertake a historical research project using primary source materials, and to present their work in a form appropriate to its subject matter, purpose and audience. Through a program of seminars and workshops, each student will formulate an independent research proposal, conduct research using a variety of historical sources, and construct a research output. Students will be invited to reflect on questions of theory, methodology, ethics, audience and presentation in historical research and communication.
