Historiography Theory Methods

This course will build on students` knowledge of the practice of history by introducing
them to classic works of historiography and the theoretical approaches, which such
works take. Each week the course will focus on one key work, which will be
contextualised in terms of its contribution to a wider historical and theoretical debate.
Approaches covered will include Marxist history, the Annales School, Historical
Sociology, the history of Nationalism, Micro-history, The Cultural Turn, Gender history,
Subaltern Studies, Post-Colonial Studies, the history of the Senses, and Oral history.
