Historiography
Thursday, January 21st, 2010I’ve produced this Historiographical Terms Handout for my IB students, just to give them some useful points of reference.
Feel free to use it in class – and if you think there’s something obvious I could add / amend / correct please let me know!
It covers such themes as intentionalism, structuralism, annales school and postmodernism so far: but I’d welcome comments regarding other stuff I could add.
