This is a part of the SiHP’s Foundation Course Series. This series will deliver professional toolboxes for the registered participants on both history and philosophy so as to enable them with basic know-how of doing source-inspired history and disciplined philosophy.
In this course, participants will learn the basic set of activities historians engage with, namely, reconnaissance, conservation, listing and description of the historical sources as well as developing interpretation and argumentation based on them.
The participants will also have an opportunity to familiarise themselves with two advanced modules on diplomatics and quantitative analysis with SiHP’s expert faculty.
For whom
The course has been designed for you, if you are sensitive to and thinking about immersing yourself into the different ways sources on Nepali history have been assessed, brought to the fore, and employed to serve specific interpretation and arguments.
This course is for you specifically if you want to learn a set of professional tools to challenge the dominant narratives and continue exploring your own journeys into Nepal’s past.
The toolbox contents in this course will be immensely helpful if you wish to think and act like a professional historian.
