Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The BA Seminar centres on global labour history, one of the most innovative scholarly fields that has developed in the last decades. Indeed, faced with a substantial crisis of their field, starting from the late 1990s global labour historians have expanded the thematic, spatial and temporal boundaries of labour history, and re-thought key concepts like the “working class”, the “industrial revolution” and “capitalism”. In the process, they have questioned the “free” and “unfree” labour divide and other traditional dichotomies, recentred their analysis on labour coercion, and explored potential new ways to connect labour history with social, economic and cultural history.

The BA Seminar proposes the field of global labour history as a large and fruitful ground for BA students to test and develop their research skills and methods. Each student will be expected to choose a topic related to labour history (across any world region and time) and write a paper about it before the end of the course.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

During the classes, (plenary and group) discussions about scholarly texts and primary sources related to several aspects of global labour history will accompany the students in the definition, structuring and refinement of their papers. During the last session (21 Jan), the students will receive the instructor’s feedbacks on their papers. An open discussion will follow.

Besides expanding their knowledge on the theories, methodologies and scholarship on global labour history, the participants will improve their skills in the analysis of scholarly texts and primary sources, and in the structuring and writing of their own papers.
