This is a mandatory course designed for the first year research postgraduate students of the History Department. The goal is to prepare the students with a wide-range knowledge of modern historiography. This course is conducted in the form of a small group seminar. Students will engage in presentations and intensive group discussion. Each student is required to do two presentations, one on an article of his or her own choice from the Journal of Asian Studies, Comparative Studies in Society and History, or Modern Asian Studies (2015-2023), the other on three different reviews of a book also of his or her own choice. Presentations and discussion will focus on research methodologies, approaches, and issues related to historiography. Presenters are expected to give a presentation of about 30 minutes and lead the discussion. The presentation schedule will be determined on 8 September 2023 in class. At the end of the semester, students are required to submit a review article of a minimum of three studies (including the article chosen for the presentation).
Presentation topics and schedule will be determined in the first class meeting.
