General Field Preparation

Semester: 

N/A

Offered: 

2017

The preparation for the general exam in the history of the Russian Empire runs across two semesters. We meet every other week and cover 12 major topic areas. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with a set of influential narratives as well (affectionately tagged "bird's eye views" in the Zotero library), and to prepare a topic that suits their own interests.
