Capstone: Historical Biography

This course builds on the work done in HIST E-597b .

Students use the research and writing skills they have developed to produce a sample chapter of a biography, one that could be submitted as part of a book proposal or a biographical article for an academic journal.

Students include a bibliography and endnotes with their final submission.

This semester predominantly consists of workshops of student writing-in-progress; students are evaluated on the feedback they provide for each other.
