HIST 4610 Colloquium

This course is a seminar course in which a different topic is explored in depth each year. The Colloquium is an in-depth examination of a particular historical period, country, or theme that stresses engaged discussion of scholarship, student written work, and common problems in interpretation and exposition. This upper-level, writing-intensive course engages students in analytical reading and writing, and in the production of individual research projects. The colloquium requires a minimum of 25 pages of formal writing, including a research paper and a critical book review. Students will demonstrate and build on the skills and knowledge they have acquired in the History major and their other educational experiences. Topics will vary to reflect the instructor’s area of expertise.
