An advanced research seminar that focuses on the process of developing, researching and writing a substantial historical research paper. This year's seminar is devoted to the subject of Fascism. We will tackle the subject from theoretical perspectives, consider historiographical and methodological questions, and examine case studies. Student research projects will be historical in nature and might include such themes as spectacle, propaganda, the media, historical memory, memorials, festivals, the crowd, the courts, youth movements, or Antifascist resistance in any number of countries.
