HST095: Digital History: A Case Study of Vermont Artisan Cheese Instructors: Melanie Gustafson, Hope Greenberg “…a hands-on, historically-grounded seminar that takes the history of Vermont agriculture and cheese production as its inspiration and object. In the academic world, a seminar is a class conducted through discussion… This seminar has two related parts. First, it will introduce students to the history of cheese. Our textbook provides a global perspective while our articles focus on the case of Vermont. Guest lecturers will visit our class to enhance your knowledge of the subject. Second, we will learn how to use and think about key aspects of digital history. The instruction in digital history will culminate in a major collaborative project that contributes new knowledge to our understanding of the history of cheese.”
