Working with their professor and a team of librarians, students in Dr. Mir Yarfitz’s class “Gender and Sexuality in World History” (HST 114/WGS 214) learn how to identify, find, and analyze primary sources, with the aim of putting these sources into conversation with various critical and theoretical perspectives. Students work together throughout the semester to comprehend the historical significance of gender and sexuality through first-hand experience with primary sources and archives.
