HIST 412 Seminar: Martin Luther and the Reformation in Germany
This class is a research seminar that prepares students to write a senior thesis. We replicate the senior thesis experience in miniature, as each student will produce a paper that argues an original thesis, using primary sources as evidence and situating the work in the midst of historiographical debates. Our general topic will be Martin Luther and the German Reformation, a broad subject out of which each student will choose a small line of inquiry that he or she finds particularly compelling.
