What this paper is about
Nau mai! Welcome to History in Practice.
This paper introduces students to key questions in historical research and supports students to develop creative independent research projects.
We will ask foundational questions about the politics of the past and the contemporary relevance of historical narratives.
How this paper will be taught
We will meet twice weekly for a two hour lecture and a one hour workshop. This is a workshop intensive paper. HISTY206 is designed as a kanohi ki te kanohi / face to face class and regular attendance at lectures and in workshops is expected.
If you will have trouble attending class in person please email me before the beginning of trimester and we can discuss your options.
Lectures in this paper will be recorded and uploaded to Moodle, but please be aware that lectures will often be discussion-based and/or interactive. Workshops will focus on the ins and outs of research and will guide students through the assessments.
Please note that workshops begin in Week 1.
Required Readings
All required readings will be made available via Moodle (please note that we are not using Reading Lists for this class and that any list posted on Reading Lists has been rolled over from previous years!). Weekly readings should be completed before workshops.
You will not always be required to read the entirety of an article or chapter, so please check Moodle for specific instructions.
