This is the fourth course of Specialisation 4: Challenges of Modern Society (Track History).
This course is subject to prioritisation. Make sure you register for this course before 15 November 12.00 noon to be considered for enrolment.
Students of the BA History (in English), TCS and LAS programmes, who need to take this course as part of their specialisation or core profile are guaranteed a place if they meet the entry requirements (see below). If there are any places left, other students of the BA History programme may also be admitted. These students must have previously passed all of their specialisation courses in Year 2.
A mandatory preparation applies for LAS and TCS students who need to take this course as part of the core profile for their major. To find out more, visit https://tcs.sites.uu.nl/
This course is a sequel to Research Seminar A. The historiographical exploration you did and the sources and research method you chose in Research Seminar A will form the basis for the research you will conduct as part of Research Seminar B. To this end, you will first write a well-argued research proposal. Once the lecturer has approved this, you will conduct the research and write a step-by-step research paper of between 5,000 and 6,000 words. Throughout the course, you will work on your research independently under the supervision of the lecturer, while at the same time giving, receiving and incorporating feedback in a group for inclusion in your own research and that of your fellow students.
