Learning unit contents
This course will develop automatisms in finding relevant books and articles on any subject in contemporary history. Individual and collective research on a central theme varying each year. Special focus on printed sources.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Foreign students are expected to master the French language first, as several papers and results of bibliographical research are to be turned in during the academic year and at the end of it. The first part of the course will develop automatisms in finding relevant books and articles on any subject in contemporary history; the second part will be individual and collective research (i.e. identifications, editing of sources, analysis) on a central theme varying each year, which will enable students to develop, in oral and written form, the basic principles of historical writing.

- final evaluation June session (90%): individual written report to be delivered in May.
