For History and Classics MA and coterm students. This course explores how historians have explored the past, and the strengths and limits of the methods they have employed. Beginning with a survey of non-western historiography, we then investigate the modern formulation of the historical discipline and its continuing evolution. What is the basis of our claims to know the past, and how can we better sift and gauge these claims? How can we better understand the historian's changing role in a changing society?
