HIST 3811 The History of Historical Thought

This page is devoted to facilitating the optional Wikipedia Project for the course HIST 3811 The History of Historical Thought, in the Department of History, at Carleton University (Ottawa). For this project students will be asked to identify a Wikipedia entry on an historian who is in need of creation or expansion. Students will then complete the entry by finding, reading and summarizing academic scholarship on the figure. It is strongly suggested that students research a thinker whose writings (or one example of their writing) will form the basis of the following assignment: an in-depth document analysis paper. Try to find a figure, therefore, whose writings are or have been translated into a language that you can read.
