Administrative Assistant Heidi Klose 905-688-5550, extension 3500 Mackenzie Chown C420 http://www.brocku.ca/history/ Historians explore changes in past societies, cultures and peoples. They examine cultural, artistic, political, economic, intellectual, as well as military and national history. Their interests range from the history of individuals and local communities to studies of nations and international relations. They analyze the causes and consequences of significant change over time. They seek to illuminate the past. The study of history involves surveying and gathering evidence and evaluating, interpreting and refining it by constructing clear and logical arguments on the basis of that evidence. Within the requirements indicated under the Honours program and Pass program, the Department allows students considerable flexibility in the selection of HIST courses. There are no mandatory courses and only a few upper-level courses have prerequisites. The Department normally offers four to six full credit and 30-35 half-credit courses, both lecture and seminar courses, in any one year. Courses not offered in one year are normally offered the following year, so that a two-year rotation pattern is in operation. To assist students in refining their analytical and critical skills, weekly seminars are a crucial part of every history course. In many courses individual students are given the responsibility of organizing and leading discussions on particular topics. The Department of History recommends combining History with other disciplines, such as Child and Youth Studies, Classics, Communication Studies, Community Health Sciences, Economics, English Language and Literature, Geography, Labour Studies, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Women's Studies and languages.
