NEW! GROUNDBREAKING
7-STEP COURSE ON PRIMARY RESEARCH METHODS
Taught by Prof. Manu Ampim

The demand for our 7-Step Course in Historical Primary Research Methods has continued to increase with each class.


The 7-Step Primary Research Course is designed to:
  • Train you in the highest level of analysis
  • Assist you in answering your own questions about the world
  • Teach you to evaluate the quality and value of information about any historical subject
  • Guide you through skill and capacity building exercises
  • Empower you while engaging in critical dialogue about historical matters and issues, and
  • Give you the analytical tools to distinguish between email rumors and facts. NEW!
In this 7-Step Course you will learn the first-hand research tools and techniques of the top scholars, and you will never again look at books, documentaries, or presentations on Black culture in the same way. At the end of the course, your faculties of analysis will be finely tuned, as I will teach you many of the fundamental primary research techniques that I have been using for the past 21 years. You will receive personalized training, and I share insight from my global primary research experience.
