David J. King Hall 2054

Section Information for Summer 2012

This course explores the topic of history and memory in international perspective in order to familiarize students with some of the most important methodological and theoretical issues attendant to the study of memory in history. Following an initial review of theoretical literature on the topic, we will spend the bulk of the semester examining a series of case studies on history and memory drawn primarily from Europe and the United States, but covering other regions of the world as well. The course will be conducted as a seminar, and students will be expected actively and productively to contribute to class discussions. Class assignments include two book reviews, an oral presentation, and a final historiographical essay on a memory-related topic in each student’s field of specialization. This course will satisfy the “1914 to the Present” distribution requirement in European history.
