First meeting of my graduate seminar on 19c US is today. We begin with DuBois, “Propaganda of History,” and Frank Towers, “Partisans, New History, and Modernization” from @JCWE1.

We will also be reading books by @TiyaMilesTAM @BrianDeLay @karpmj @ProfMSinha @TeraWHunter @marthasjones_ @klytlehernandez and more.

I’m approaching the seminar a bit differently this time: we will focus on building the skills of identifying historiographical debates, situating new works in debates, & building reading lists for comps. Full syllabus: wcm1.web.rice.edu/pdf/hist588fall18.pdf
