Thanks, just digging into my historiography. Wondering best way to utilize critical theories (maybe you have a video on that). Wondering if folks generally stick to one theory or pull from multiple theories. Thinking of DisCrit, Critical Trans studies, CRT, IndigeCrit and how they overlap or could compliment each other. Maybe best to stick to one clear theory per paper?
I think finding a single theory or historiographical trend that serves that particular argument is clearer. However, sometime your contribution may be to see the intersection of different trends.
I wonder what class actually teaches this. I'm so grateful for these types of videos, because I've spent the better part of the last two years CLUELESS. My background is not in history, so I understand my gaps, but to have learned next to nothing about the actual craft in grad school.... I'm SO discontent! 😣
Yes, most universities offer Historiography as a senior level capstone or a 1st year graduate course. It's extremely important. I did one in my senior year for my BA/ History. One video is really just a brief overview. It takes the full 16 weeks of a semester to really understand the major authors and mechanics of Historiography because, like everything else in history, it has been periodized. So, you have to really begin with the Early Christian writers and go forward from there to the 20th century. My seminar course required that we actually write a 20-page paper on the Historiography of a historical topic of our choosing. It required a great deal of research, and we also had to do a PP presentation on our paper for the last 1/3 of our grade. One thing you learn as you explore topics to study is some topics have no published historiography, which leaves an opening for a writer/researcher to begin compiling one. :) Hope that helps.
@@colvingenealogy The thing is, I've taken several historiography courses. NOT one of them covered this at all. It seemed like they should, but never actually did and expected me to inherently know this information. It was frustrating.
@@mrs.morris5506 I think it depends on the prof and their assigned readings. We used several monographs in addition to numerous selections from journals. Plus, some profs are more dedicated to the subject that others. It is a difficult subject and hard to teach well. I was lucky. Peace.
We cover this in our Historical Methods courses, "Bootcamp for History Majors". This really helps them see how their research is in a conversation with other scholars.
A fair introduction to the subject, but you would want to rehearse the presentation a bit more and if you need on-screen text to work from, you should place the laptop / pc display next to the camera so you do not have to look to the side for cues repeatedly.
One has to understand the context of biblically recorded slavery first before calling "western" transatlantic slavery and biblical slavery the same thing.
Thank you for your teaching. I really enjoyed your explanations. I des agree with one thing. The statement “during slavery the Bible supported slavery,” is incorrect. Like any other book that whose users dissect to use its parts in a vacuum or with purposes contrary to the intend of the entire book, the Bible, was dissected, and it’s verses were taken out of context in order to benefit those who wanted to justify slavery. The Bible itself if you read and understand the whole book, it’s context, it’s time period and the theology behind the whole book, it will become clear, that slavery, specially as it took place in the Middle Ages and beyond, was considered a gross sin and an adulteration of God’s Law!
Postmodernism brought...absolutely nothing other than Wokeness and Marxist. watch James Lindsay's analysis of Postmodernism (and Jordan Peterson's talks) to see that Postmodernism is just another way to say Marxism/Socialism/Communism.
I'm doing my first historiography this year. This presentation helped me understand my assignment 💯%
Thank you!
I am glad it was helpful!!!
conclusion - history and even historiography will now be taught from a postmodern perspective of subjectiveness but teaching subjectiveness as a truth
Look for my trilogy on 21st Century Historiography. They are available on the internet.

Good video. I do think the truth can be found. What is true is true even if no one believes it. What's false is false even if everyone believes it.
Excellent content. Thanks for explaining the difference between history and historiography.
Did you write Tyrannicide? WOW!

Thank you very much madam
Great video. Thank you very much for making this.
Very useful information, its helping me understand what my very dry textbook is trying to communicate!

16th century is the renaissance age not enlightenment
