A sustained research project in applied history, encompassing approaches to cultural heritage, oral history, community history, museums and history in the media. For most students this will take the form of a commissioned historical project, although students may also pursue a topic of methodological or theoretical interest in applied history. A short series of seminars will introduce students to research in applied history, and students will be assisted in the negotiation of a suitable topic with a commissioning agency. -- Course Website
