Reflect: Historians often employ a theoretical framework in answering their research questions. This framework is based upon the experience of the historian, the<br />
sources he/she has used and/or plan on using, the research question he/she is interested in, and the state of the historical field. Reflect on Chapter 8 of Tosh, the<br />
assigned chapter of Hopkins, your final project topic, and your study of history to this point. Reflecting on your final project topic, what research questions would<br />
be asked by social historians on this subject? What sources would they use? Does your understanding of history lend itself to using a social historical approach?<br />
Why or why not?<br />
Write: <strong>Social</strong> history developed as a form of analysis after the Second World War and has been incredibly influential within the discipline of history, directly<br />
leading to the topics we will be looking at next week: gender analysis and post-colonial theory.<br />
In your post, reflect upon the development of social history.<br />
o<br />
Reflecting upon the social climate at the time, postulate on why social history expanded in the 1950s and<br />
1960s.<br />
o<br />
What questions do social historians seek to answer?<br />
o<br />
How did the writings of Karl Marx influence the development of social history?<br />
o<br />
Is it possible to employ “non-Marxist” social history? Why or why not? Where does the chapter from<br />
Hopkins fit in?<br />
o<br />
What are the potential strengths and weaknesses to this approach?<br />
o<br />
How might your topic be examined by using a social historical approach?<br />
