Public vs.History focuses on three objectives. It is intended to help students expand their knowledge on the methodology of historical research and the forms of reasoning that historians employ to arrive at truth claims. It also aims to unveil the different ways historians try to reach out to a wider audience. Finally, it will introduce students to various schools of historical thought, from the history of ideas through economic history to microhistory, as well as show how ideological commitments shape historical accounts and even historical theory. This year, the case-study to exemplify the theoretical approaches will be Eastern Europe, with a strong emphasis on Ukraine.
