3.00 Credits
This course is open to any student interested in knowing how historians and social scientists have tried to discover the meaning of human events, both contemporaneously and retrospectively. Why, for example, do historians and social scientists interpret the same events differently? How are the studies of history and the various social sciences similar in some ways, but different in others-- and why does this matter? To what extent can historians and social scientists be objective? Such questions will be explored and discussed by sampling selected works, focusing particularly on the critical role that theory plays in historical and social science research. During the latter quarter of the course students will be assisted in devising their Senior Seminar projects. This course is required for all History and Social Studies majors; and is a prerequisite for HIS 4770. Fall.

This course focuses on three of America's wars with Asia (World War II in the Pacific; the Korean War, and the Vietnam War), and provides an opportunity for each student to undertake a research project on a war of his or her choosing. The course takes a cultural and comparative approach to history and memory. We examine the public history controversies surrounding the representation and interpretation of wars, and we analyze the social, political, and personal interplay of history, collective memory, and national consciousness by comparing Asian, European, and American experiences. Fall, odd years.
