Raymond Jonas: Areas of Graduate Study

Division: Europe Since 1789

Students may prepare a field in the history of modern France with Professor Jonas. Those expecting to complete such a field should take the graduate field course (HSTEU 521) and at least one of the following courses: "The French Revolution" (HSTEU 422); "Modern France" (HSTEU 423); a graduate-level topics course (HISTEU 590). I normally teach at least three of these courses (HSTEU 422, HSTEU 423, HSTEU 521, HSTEU 590) in any given two year period, making it possible to prepare the French field as part of a two year course of study. In order to pass the field examination, you will be expected to demonstrate expertise in three sub-fields within the modern French field. Sub-fields may be topical ("The French Revolution"), thematic ("gender and modern France" "power, art, and architecture"), or historiographical ("the historiography of the French Revolution").
