- Understand the historical study of race science and sexual science that focuses on the co-creation of ‘race’ and ‘sex’ in studies of human difference.
- Practice critical reading and thinking skills, such as the structure of arguments, methods, theoretical premises and choices, and consider counterarguments from the material we study.
- Learn how a historian handles materials they find offensive and difficult.
- Learn skills crucial to the writing of history: collecting and interpreting primary documents; assessing the work of other historians; and formulating your own thesis on a historical problem.
