HSTY7003: Becoming a Historian
This seminar-based unit will equip you with the conceptual and practical skills that are essential to every major research project regardless of field. You will advance your professional development as a historian in seminars that address: how to devise and plan a program of research; how to frame clear questions and engage with diverse forms of evidence; how to collate, sort and process information in ways that support your project and which will assist in the transition from research to writing. Via readings, workshops and structured peer review you will develop a formal research proposal for discussion in your preliminary progress review.
