Reading, Writing and Using History
Taking lessons from the past can be dangerous. History easily can be distorted, even fabricated, to suit one's objectives. This course (H-Craft 1) makes extensive use of "case studies" to examine the often-precarious nature of history; the development of written history; the idea of the "archive"; and the use of written history in the service of ideology, politics, and governance by historical actors such as nation states, empires, political leaders, reformers, and corporations.
