History 691W: Writing History

Heather Richardson
Stephen Platt

Spring 2007, Monday 6:30 - 9:00 pm

Synopsis:

This is an experimental course that combines a passion for history and a dedication to writing. It will explore ways in which historians and others with a reverence for the past write well, in diverse manners, for their particular, chosen audiences. Featured will be visits by writers who have had success in bringing history to “publics” outside the academy. Permission of the instructor is required.

Course requirements include informed participation in discussion, three papers (each 7-10 pages), and one in-class oral presentation.
