History of the Bare Knuckle Boxing Era
Final Project Guidelines and Possibilities
This will be a focused independent research project on one particular aspect of the history of sport. It contains two parts: an historiographical essay (4.5 pages) that analyzes how three different scholars (or, in some cases, popular historians) have dealt with your topic, and a primary source analysis (4 pages) that examines three different primary sources about your topic. Both the historiography and the primary source analysis have to be framed by an interpretive argument!
You obviously have a wide range of possibilities for this topic. My only requirement is that you must do a final project on a topic that geographically corresponds with the upper-division elective series (Europe, the United States, Area Studies) for which you want this class to count by petition. (E.g. if you want this class to count for your Area Studies requirement, you must pick a topic focused on Latin America, Africa, Asia, or Oceania).
The following is by no means an exhaustive list of topics and possibilities. Think of this list, rather, as a kind of jumping-off point for something that interests you. You might also find that our course readings offer a good point of departure (particularly for more thematic topics, e.g. early women’s sport in Great Britain).
Within each sport, there are certainly key transformations and movements with broader social/cultural meaning. There are also, of course, questions about class, race, gender, commerce, nationalism, etc. that cut across sports and time periods. Whatever topic you choose, however, you need to make sure that it is something more complex than a simple narrative (e.g. the history of one team’s season, etc.)
Without listing them exhaustively here (and these range geographically within each sport):
My topic is boxing
- The bare-knuckle era (pre-Civil War), fights like Morrissey-Heenan (1858
- No extra materials for you sir. Sources and articles must be peer reviewed. Above is the papers guidelines.
