In this class we approach four main historiographic debates on the economic and social history of the United States on the basis of primary sources and cutting-edge research. Our aim is not only to develop a critical understanding of American history in a global context but also to become conversant with a vast array of historiographic approaches and apply essential skills of history research through careful reading, extensive discussion and short written assignments.
