Hi Tate, I having read your blogpost, I too have to agree that I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the wide range of presentations from the whole class. Your comment on the broad nature of transnational history, that is reflected in the diverse range of projects at last week’s Tutorial is one that stood out to me, as I too was surprised by the wide range of projects that have developed within our class. Whilst they hold transnational and global links, the topics vary vastly, which has been something I have found very enjoying hearing about. This is the first modern history module that I have been a part of that has given students such an individual choice in what to choose their projects on, and where to take them. It has been great to hear about the different projects, their aims, and key questions of inquiry. I have been able to learn about brand new areas of history I hadn’t heard about before, like the Indian Pundits and their journeys of mapping, to fishing rights in Alaska. The project presentations not only provided a way to hear about everyone’s topics, but gave an insight into their methods, and how everyone’s projects have changed over time. Furthermore, like yourself, I enjoyed hearing about the broad range of sources, particularly primary sources, that students are implementing. I too plan to see what primary sources can be implemented into my project, to help discover insights into how golf has changed racially. Your point about ‘inception vs reception’ was one that related to my project, where I have seen a difference within Tiger Woods influence, and the structural changes within golf itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe your blog captures one of the most important parts of this module \u2013 how hearing about different projects, under the larger umbrella that is transnational history, can sharpen our own historical skills, improve our own projects, and historical skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
