Description:

Models and simulations of trends, events, institutions, and processes are useful tools for historians and social scientists. They can illustrate complex interactions between individuals and groups, map broad political and social trends, and possibly predict the outcome of specific events. Students in this research seminar choose an aspect of the geographic, political, diplomatic, military, economic, or social history of World War II to research and model through computer simulation, multimedia presentations, or a role-play exercise. These models and simulations are based on primary sources from the period.
