Course Description:
We use the word “network” to describe the structure of human connections in contemporary life. This course explores the way that the network has been a useful concept for historians, too. Students will read and learn to think about networks both in an abstract sense and through a range of historical examples. They will then get hands-on experience of using historical sources, working with archival material of business and personal networks from the nineteenth century. In parallel with our historical discussions, students will work closely with Career Development to think critically about networking and to start constructing their own professional networks. |
