Course Catalog Description:
Students in this course will read recently published scholarship in American Indian and Indigenous history that takes up pressing research questions, promises to push inquiry in new directions, and that theorizes important interventions in our thinking to understand where the field is situated and moving. Reflecting the instinctively interdisciplinary nature of American Indian and Indigenous history, readings will be drawn not just from the discipline of history but across other disciplines such as Anthropology, American Studies, Geography, Literature, Political Science, and Legal Studies. As well, readings will include scholarship that reaches out to embrace the Global Indigenous studies turn. prereq: Advanced undergrad with instr consent or grad student

This course serves as a basic introduction to scholarship in American Indian history, with attention to the broad geographical, cultural, and methodological scope of the field. The course seeks to illuminate different approaches to doing and thinking about American Indian history, framing questions within the field of American Indian history, and understanding the historiographical traditions in American Indian history. Students will learn to think critically about American Indian history to formulate historical questions within the field, and to understand and equip themselves to work with and critique the primary sources upon which the field rests.
