What's in it for you? 

• We’ll cover what a primary source is and how to interpret multiple types of sources, including written, musical, and artistic.
• You’ll gain skills in reading secondary sources (such as textbooks), especially how to get the most out of these texts on first reading.
• This workshop will be interactive and give you hands-on experience with understanding sources that you may encounter in classes.

Stay tuned for information on future topics! The Writing Workshop Series is led by graduate students in the History Department.
