Description

This course traces the development of the discipline of history; it examines the principal modern approaches to the study of the past; it makes explicit the methodological principles which underlie historical research and writing; and it encourages reflection on controversial matters concerning truth, objectivity, bias, values and cross-cultural understanding.

This course aims to establish a broad understanding of the nature of the discipline of history, of the approaches to the past that influence the way in which historians write, and of the issues that should be addressed when attempting to write history that is meaningful to contemporary audiences.
