HIST 7151 - History, Memory, Narrative

Explores how the growing scholarly literature on memory in the last generation changed the way we think about history and the way we write it, if at all. At the center of the course is how the history and narrative of foundational events (the Holocaust, the Indian Partition, 1948 in Palestine, the American Civil War) changed as a result of the growing interest in memory and testimony.
