Coming Together

The last couple of weeks have been extremely overwhelming for me, but this week I do feel that my project proposal is finally coming together.  I have been researching my topic for the last few weeks and have quite a

Rhizomatic Shakespeare

Ahead of the informal presentation on Tuesday, I feel like my project is (finally!) starting to take shape, and I am excited to delve into sources in the coming weeks. After a helpful discussion on Tuesday, a chat with Milinda

Subalterns in Transnational Spaces

I spent more than two weeks thinking about the topic for my research project. I had multiple ideas in mind that encompassed different historical epochs. After great deliberation and a very insightful conversation with Dr Struck, I decided to go ahead

To quote Bon Jovi: Woah, we’re halfway there!

Halfway through the minimum amount of blog posts I mean, not for the semester, which is going by unusually fast in my opinion. I’ve been struggling to balance my time between studying full time and working full time in all

Selective History

Though there isn’t a set topic or required readings for this week, I have been thinking on the previous discussions and how I would apply this to my own interests and potential project proposals. I have found the prospect daunting

Preliminary Reading and Realizations

Approaching my final project has been a daunting task, I now know that I want to look at some aspect of transnational surrogacy, however finding an appropriate entry point into this topic is proving difficult. There are so many different

A Visual Start to the Project

I’ve always been a visual learner, and it’s no different here either. I learn by writing things, by making connections between the place on the page and the thing that’s written there, and as a result, a frequent method of

Where Are the Sources? A Discourse on the Dominance of French cuisine

After a preliminary search for the histories of such a ubiquitous spice blend such as Garam Masala. It was surprising to see that there is a distinct lack of historical sources. I believe that the overall lack of focus on

Project Beginning to Take Shape…

As we enter Week 5, I feel that I am slowly beginning to grasp the idea of producing a ‘transnational history’ of my own volition. The two sources that have been most useful in coming to grips with transnational history

Micro history in a colonial context; and a note on the readings

Andrade Tonio’s article was an interesting start to understanding the complexities of cultural exchange in a local context. In the beginning, he emphasizes the importance of small human dramas that underlie historical events that seem significant. He discusses how history

Thinking out loud… How do I even approach this long project?

Honestly, I’m a bit lost. I feel like everyone has found their footing or starting to get a grasp on their long projects, or at least found an idea, whereas I have absolutely no idea. I really liked Morven’s ideas

Project possibilities…

Having studied transnational history for 3 weeks now, I believe that I have a (hopefully!) interesting starting point for my project. By far my favourite module so far has been MO3052- the history of the library. It might not seem

Saunier ‘Opening the Door’

Following Bernhard’s solid endorsement of Pierre – Yves Saunier’s Transnational History, I endeavoured to find a cheap second-hand copy online. Through Saunier’s style of writing, a combination of this text with many of the case studies that I have read

Wales in the Context of Transnational & Global History

I’ve always been fascinated by Welsh history but have yet had an opportunity to really go into depth into the subject due to school curriculums being ‘British-centric’ with only scarce details related to Wales. I’m always amazed when I come

Thoughts on micro history, brief reflections on possible project ideas

When I was first introduced to the field of micro history last year in MI2001, I found the concept fascinating and I took great pleasure in reading Natalie Zemon Davis’ The Return of Martin Guerre. Once again, this past week,
