Methods & Disciplines

World history is an interdisciplinary field. World historians must be ready to become conversant with the various academic disciplines, theories, and research methods that contribute to knowledge of world history. While it is beyond the resources of the World History Network to attempt a complete catalogue of references on the methods and disciplines relevant to world history, we can offer some instructive examples.

The links on this page lead you three examples of major methodological websites:

  • Disciplines: Archaeology
  • Theories: Genetic theory
  • Research methods: Classifying languages

    More generally, by selecting "Research Methods" in the Network Search, you will find a selection of websites giving useful guidance on a range of disciplines, theories, and research methods known to be significant for world history.
