# Local History: Troy, New York

## STSO-4540

This seminar surveys the history of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy and the Capital Region. By reading scholarly works, performing original research and visiting relevant sites, we will seek to understand the technological, political, social and cultural history of each of these entities, as well as how their histories converge (or don’t). We will also discuss the meanings and methodologies of local history as a disciplinary field, and we will contextualize our study of local history by exploring the interplay between local, regional and national themes in history.
