HIST 2800 Introduction to Applied History (3 credits, required)
This course introduces undergraduate students to the theory and methods of Applied History first developed by Ernest May and Richard Neustadt. In addition to reading the classics in the field – May, “Lessons” of the Past: The Use and Misuse of History in American Foreign Policy and Neustadt and May, Thinking in Time: The Uses of History for
Decision-Makers – students will read articles drawn from scholars working in the contemporary revival of this tradition: Graham Allison, Niall Ferguson, and others. This course examines how different general areas of policymaking – international relations, military strategy, domestic economic and regulatory policy – can benefit from this approach. The course also introduces students to related subjects, such as counterfactual history and research on cognitive biases.
