Unit Description |
This unit explores some methodological, philosophical and theoretical issues involved in the research and presentation of histories, and introduces postgraduate students to independent historical research. What is it that historians do? What is the nature of historical knowledge? What is the relationship between 'fact' and 'interpretation'? What role do values play in the research and writing of history? The unit is designed as a preparation unit for students contemplating independent research projects and it examines issues and questions relevant to all students studying history at the postgraduate level.
