Doctoral Historiography

A Doctoral Historiography Teacher takes you through the history of historical writing at doctoral depth — ancient and non-Western traditions, Ranke and the profession, Marxist and Annales history, social history, the cultural and linguistic turns, microhistory, gender, race, postcolonial, global, environmental and memory history — as a history of questions. They guide readings, coach historiographical essays and prospectuses, and build exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Field Seminar in American History

A Field Seminar in American History Teacher takes you through the historiography of the United States — Native and colonial America, the Revolution, slavery and capitalism, Civil War and Reconstruction, industrial America, the New Deal, World War II, the Cold War, civil rights and the recent past — as a map of debates. They guide monographs and documents, coach historiographical essays and field lists, and build exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Field Seminar in European History

A Field Seminar in European History Teacher takes you through the historiography of Europe — the Renaissance and Reformations, state-building, the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment, the French Revolution, industrialization, nationalism and empire, the world wars and the Holocaust, the Cold War and Europe since — as a set of long arguments. They guide monographs and sources, coach historiographical essays and field lists, and build exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Field Seminar in Global History

A Field Seminar in Global History Teacher takes you through world and global history as a field — comparison and connection, early modern empires and trade, the Columbian exchange, the great divergence, slavery and the Atlantic, commodities and capital, the nineteenth-century world, decolonization and globalization — keeping big frames anchored in specific sources. They guide monographs, coach comparative essays and field lists, and build exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.
