Learning outcomes
At the end of the laboratory the student will develop the skills necessary to apply the knowledge learned in the courses of his/her programme degree. The student will be able to collect, organise and analyse complex information as well as present the findings both in oral presentation and in writing papers.
Course contents
The laboratory reviews the methodologies and primary sources used for the study of contemporary history in European and extra-European political and social contexts. Through the use of the different types of sources, some important issues that characterize contemporary historical research will also be addressed, including the definition of imperialistic policies, the Nation building process, the relationship between democratic regimes and authoritarian regimes.
Learning objectives of the lessons will be: to show how the most paradigmatic historiographical fields have been structured; to deepen some of the main Gordian knots of historical research both in Europe and outside Europe; to identify thematic itineraries that cross the history of the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries. During the laboratory, the students will be encouraged to participate actively in class.
