• HIST 101: Intro to the History Major

  This is an introductory course for first semester college students considering a major in history. The course will introduce students to the discipline of history and career paths for history majors, will provide enhanced advisement and planning for the undergraduate degree, will provide problem solving assistance to students as they navigate the first semester of college, will expose students to the range of academic and co-curricular opportunities available to history majors at Geneseo, and will provide opportunities for students to interact with members of the faculty and more advanced undergraduates.

• HIST 304: Topic: US History

  This is a skills-based course for History/Adolescent Education students. In the course, students and faculty will engage in critical discussions regarding grand historical narratives and overviews with the intention of decentering the traditional, simplified “arc” of history that leaves too many crucial issues either unexamined or hidden. In addition to reading secondary source historical works that will help students to think about ways to reframe conventional historical narrative, the course will devote significant time to identifying, locating and analyzing relevant primary sources that they will then be able to incorporate in their future classrooms. Students will work collectively by participating in thoughtful discussions and debates, sharing secondary sources and primary materials, and giving formal presentations. Finally, students will be expected to reflect critically on the value of historical thinking and knowledge in the context of secondary education. This course may be focused on U.S. or global history.
