Course contents :
|
| As opposed to the introductory course, this course requires students' active participation, as they will be asked to read various articles, and to present and discuss reading notes. The course consists of three parts.
The first part is an introduction to such social sciences, in particular sociology. The presentation of the key concepts of the main theories is illustrated by articles from historians who use these concepts in their research.
As an extension of the first part, the question of categories and scales of analysis in social history will be addressed, from the approach to social classes studied in a regional framework to the different forms of event history analysis, from national comparatism to trans-national approaches.
In the third part of the course, (groups of) students will be asked to present research results on a special topic to be defined. In 2014-2015, students will investigate on trade-union training. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| By the end of the course, students will be able to research recent historical literature on defined questions of economic and social history, to discuss them in front of an audience and finally to integrate them into their own research. |
