Overview
History is an academic discipline about human beings and society through centuries. The core of historical study of continuity and change at the local, national and international levels is empirical analysis and source critical awareness.
Historical knowledge and insight into the methodological specificity of historical scholarship are central to our understanding of contemporaneity.
