History
(HIST)
Through LaneyCollege history courses, we undertake a critical analysis of ourselves and the world around us by exploring our shared historical trajectory. In the practice of history, we engage the historical other; figures that often seem remote and perhaps unfathomable yet nevertheless deeply inform our present condition. This encounter allows us the forum and discipline to evaluate questions of identity, knowledge, consciousness, intelligibility, communication, ‘truth,’ and most of all, meaning while compassing the broad and uneven terrain that is the soul of historical inquiry.
Through LaneyCollege courses in history, students will learn to think critically about ourselves and our world by studying both the remote and recent past. More than merely memorizing historical facts, students will acquire both analytic and research skills in their study of the human condition. Because everything has a history, everything can be studied from a historical perspective.
