Module One: History Goes Digital

6 January 2022

Welcome to HIST 640! This week is an introduction, focusing on the following:

  • Introducing you to the syllabus and this course website. What do you need to know to succeed in the course.
  • I will call on each of you during our first course meeting to do the following:
    • Introduce yourself, your program, and if you are doing an MRP or Thesis, what it is about (and if not, what you’re hoping to get out of your professional program);
    • Why are you interested in digital history or this course?
    • What do you hope to get out of the course?
  • We will then have a discussion around the course and what it means to think historically in the digital age.
