History
Description: Public History is defined as the employment of historians and the historical method outside of academia: in government, private corporations, the media, historical societies and museums, even in private practice. As a senior-level seminar, Public History prepares students for internships and careers in history jobs outside the classroom including government, archives, historical societies, museums, historic preservation, local history, cultural resource management, and a variety of other fields. This course is divided equally between an intensive reading colloquium covering the first eight weeks of the course and a hands-on, collaborative, class-based public history project for the remainder of the class. Co-convened with HIS 502. Letter grade only.
