Please note that this course was originally designed to fulfill the graduate historiography requirement, since superceded by the new first-year sequence. Therefore, advanced graduate students (in their second year and beyond) who have not fulfilled this requirement are advised to do so now, since this course may not be offered again in the near future.
This seminar for first year graduate students is the second half of the introductory graduate sequence. This course focuses on the process of writing an original piece of historical scholarship. Topics to be discussed include: developing an argument, exploring sources, arriving at a research strategy, planning and structuring an article, presenting complex data, and producing scholarship that is a coherent representation of an author's perspective on the past. Over the course of the semester, each seminar participant will develop and write an original, article-length research paper. Students will work with the assistance of the instructors and an advisor from her or his own research field.
