Students will submit a single phrase or sentence to select a topic for their final historiographic paper. Topic choice followed by opening presentation of topic selected. Give ample time in the next few days to determine your historiography paper topic. This can be quite time consuming, so best to start early. Reminder that a historiography paper focuses on INTERPRETATIONS of historical events/persons/eras. Your focus will be on what HISTORIANS THEMSELVES have said about the past, not on the past itself. For instance, say you chose to write about the crusades, you would not write about the crusades but rather what, why, and how historians have said about the crusades. (That is just an example I don’t want the paper to be about the crusades) You can pick any historical topic you’d like, I plan on hiring you for all the papers and assignments in this course so please don’t take the paper on if you can’t work with me over the next 8 weeks. I will award a end of course tip bonus if the class is completed with an A. Just a simple statement at this point about what you want to research. it can be any topic as long as your approach is historiographical, meaning you are studying historical interpretations of events and persons and not the events or persons themselves. I will upload some lectures from this week regarding histography. No AI or chat GTP everything will be checked via turn it in.
