HSTY4102: History Honours Seminar B
2024 unit information
Honours seminars equip students with the methodological and conceptual skills to deal with problems in the theory and practice of history. Seminars are grounded in a particular context of geography, place or time, or may pursue one theme or approach across a diverse array of contexts. All build students’ expertise in a field of historical scholarship and encourage them to apply that understanding in assignments that model the professional skills of the discipline. Seminars are divided into two streams to ensure that all students complete the same diverse suite of assessment tasks. In Seminar B students attempt a book review, oral presentation and a task that models history in practice.
