What is the difference between HIST 494 and HIST 498?
HIST 494 is a historiographical seminar that focuses on the research that has been done by historians in the field, and then asks students to chart next steps. HIST 494 subjects also may focus on a broad historiographical theme of relevance to students in a variety of historical fields, such as “Slavery” or “Gender.” Students must research and prepare a major historiographical essay, usually of 15 or more pages.
