"History of Capitalism" Summer Innovation Grant

I spent several weeks this summer immersed in re-reading and reading anew numerous scholarly articles and book chapters that will make their way into the course reader for my History of Capitalism seminar in the spring. Those that did not make it to the final cut will still certainly inform the course as a whole. Because of this time I put into course planning over the summer, I now know the readings that will go into the reader, and have developed reading question handouts and other course-related materials for many of the readings. Since many of the readings will be assigned in excerpted form, I also identified the passages that could be cut to allow the readings for the course to more streamlined for the students while not losing any breadth by having to limit the number of readings too much.
