- Abstract:
Historical Methodology will introduce the student to historical research methods and familiarize the student with the tools and techniques that historians use to study the past. The student will learn about the process of modern historical inquiry and gain a better understanding of the diverse resources that historians use to conduct research. The first four units will focus on research methodology and examine how and why historians conduct research on the past. Later units will examine how different historical resources can be used for historical research. By the end of the course, the student will understand how to conduct research on past events and be familiar with the variety of physical and electronic resources available for historical research. Upon successful completion of this unit, the student will be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of basic historical research methods and identify necessary research skills; Develop historical research topics, identify primary and secondary sources, and conduct research using these sources; Identify fundamental writing skills and assess how historical subjects may be best presented to various audiences; Define the meaning of historiography and identify important historiographic trends of the past century; Compare and contrast basic historical research practices conducted with library, archival, and online resources; Identify and assess possible career choices that depend on knowledge and understanding of historical research practices.

- Abstract:
" The primary purpose of this seminar is to enable students to craft approaches to so-called "First World"/ "Third World" city comparisons that are theoretically sophisticated, methodologically rigorous, contextually grounded, and significantly beneficial. Since there exists very little literature and very few projects which compare "First World" and "Third World" cities in a sophisticated and genuinely useful manner, the seminar is structured around a series of readings, case studies, and discussions to assist students in becoming mindful of the potential and pitfalls of comparative analysis, the types of data, the methods of analysis, and the urban issues or sectors which may benefit the most from such approaches. The course is designed to be interdisciplinary and interactive, and is geared towards masters and doctoral students."
