Easton Trinity 223B Office hrs: Mon: 10-12; 2-3: Tues: 2-3 Ph: 898-4284  HYPERLINK "mailto:leaston@csuchico.edu" leaston@csuchico.edu I. Theme: This class will explore some of the recent work by historians on Nazi Germany. One of its goals is to demonstrate the varieties of approaches historians have used to shed light on a topic that would appear to have been thoroughly studied. The second major goal is for students to write a research paper on some aspect of the Nazi regime. These should be high quality papers, ones that you would submit happily to the HFA Symposium in the spring, or to The Chico Historian, oreven more ambitiouslyat a regional Phi Alpha Theta conference. II. Structure: The class is designed as a research seminar. We spend the first 2/3 approximately reading and discussing some of the recent debates on Nazism. During this period you will also be identifying subtopics that interest you, doing some preliminary reading, discovering a paper topic, refining it, and beginning to work on it. There are some preliminary exercises designed to keep you on track and to provide feedback as you move forward. The last 1/3 of the course the class will not meet to give you time for your final writing. But I will be scheduling mandatory consultations during my office hours (extended if necessary) during this period to see if theres any way I can help you. The semester will conclude with you submitting your final paper and delivering a 15 minute oral presentation on it to the class. III. Reading: The following books are required. In addition there will be a required reader from Mr. Kopy. Caplan, Jane, ed. Nazi Germany Wolfgang Schivelbusch, Three New Deals: Reflections on Roosevelts America, Mussolinis Italy, and Hitlers Germany, 1933-1939. Gotz Aly, Hitlers Beneficiaries: Plunder, Racial War, and the Nazi State IV. Requirements: Your final grade is based on a 500 point system with 6 components. Final Paper: 200 points. A 15-20 page paper including bibliography. Due date December 9, last day of class. First Draft: 50 points. You will submit the first 5 pages of your first draft, a hard copy to me, and an electronic copy should be posted on the portal for all of your classmates. Written Comments on First Drafts: 50 points. Each student will be required to read each of the first drafts of their colleagues and offer their written comments to them (giving me one copy as well). This should be between 300 and 400 words in length Annotated Bibliographies: 50 points. You will submit an annotated bibliography, 2 pages in length (more if you need it), indicating what books, documents, articles in journals or in edited collections you have read and a summary of their contents. At the end of the bibliography you should write a 300-word (give or take) summary of your research up to this point with an indication of how you are thinking of framing your question. Due date: Friday, October 2 by 5pm. Oral Presentation: 50 points. I think its important to learn how to present your research and your ideas clearly, succinctly, and even entertainingly (by which I simply mean not boring your audience). So you will be graded on your oral presentations in the last day of class. Due date: Wednesday, December 9, last day of class. Class Participation: After your final paper this is the biggest component of your final grade. Theres a fair amount of reading assigned in a graduate seminar and I want you to have done it all and done it carefully and to come to class prepared to discuss it. If you do so, the class will just go much better. V. Schedule 1. Aug. 26): The Debate about Fascism/Nazism. Caplan: Introduction Reader: Kershaw: Historians and the Problem of Explaining Nazism 2.
