FUV History

FUV History A page for History majors & minors, and other interested students at Fulbright!

Mission Statement:​

The History program trains undergraduates in historical research methods, critical analysis of the historical record, and effective written and oral communication. Our students gain experience in archival research, library research, and oral history interviewing. They learn to make arguments and communicate effectively about the past to a variety of audiences in written and oral form. These skills prepare students for diverse career fields such as education, law, consulting, and much more. The program readies graduates for a dynamic future by promoting interdisciplinary research, digital research and publishing tools, experiential learning, and global perspectives. We strive to be inclusive and accessible to everyone with curiosity about the past.​

It's Registration Week! This is an invitation to consider taking "Hands-On History," where you'll try your hand at entry-level historical research.

We'll handle magazines and periodicals from the 1960s and 70s; we'll practice interviewing people about the living past; and we'll take a trip to the National Archives Center II to look at unpublished documents from the twentieth century. Toward the end of the course, you will design a long-term research project that you may choose to carry out over Summer 2026 (for independent study credit) if you want to.

Hands-On History is a required course for the History major and minor. Beyond that, the skills we develop in Hands-On History are useful for any line of work or study in which you work with documents or conduct interviews, especially about the past. We will also cover research ethics and different approaches to storytelling—skills and knowledge that are essential to a wide range of pursuits.
