Workshop on Research Methodology in History for Semester V Students

The Research Cell of Loreto College, Kolkata, in collaboration with the Department of History, conducted a session on Research Methodology in History on September 26, 2024. The resource person was Dr. Shrimoyee Guha Thakurta, Associate Professor, Department of History, Scottish Church College. The session was attended by all Semester V students of the Department of History.

Dr. Guha Thakurta first took the students through the basics of Research Methodology before moving on to the specific research requirements of History. She explained each step of the process in detail, using relevant examples wherever possible. Use of jargon-free language and an extremely lucid and organised PowerPoint presentation was helpful for the students. The resource person also encouraged interaction and engagement throughout the session, motivating the students to respond and come up with many incisive questions and observations.
