History, Practice, and Archives . GLOBL 258
The centrality of archival research is established in historical practice, and archives are used to produce knowledge/s about the past. As multiple perspectives have come to dismantle epistemological hegemonies, the power embedded within "official" archival "constructions" is questioned. The erasures of the archives have been brought to focus; scholars have attempted to expand the meaning of the archives, locate alternate archives, combine archival research with ethnographic and literary/fictional methods, etc. The tension in the archive, between what is located in it, and how it may be read, to the questions that historians take to it, has been a generative one. This course studies the debates that constitute this "archival turn."

Professor means well however she was extremely disorganized and often times did not go over course content enough. Her lectures were extremely dense and left no time for discussion or questions about course content. During end of quarter evaluations, as a class we felt she could have been more organized and clear about course expectations.
She's not too bad and lectures are well organized (although boring). Tests are difficult and heavy on the readings.
She was ok, not the best lecturer and hard to follow. Probably wouldn't take her class again.
