Courses in history are designed to encourage reflection on the nature, advantages and struggles of human societies in different times and places, and to invite cross-cultural comparisons. Moreover, they are intended to stimulate the historical imagination and to promote critical and technical skills in the comprehension and production of historical narratives. The academic conventions of writing, speaking, researching and learning to analyze various sources (i.e., information literacy) are integral to the discipline of history and figure strongly in all of the department’s courses.
