Research and write an essay on what we can learn from investigating the history of infectious disease
Think about what historians do with the topic
Think about what a historical investigation reveals
Think about what role infectious disease plays in human history
Aim to be selective, aim to be interesting
Best to approach the topic with a critical mind
Ideally to ask critical questions about how historians deal with disease
Probably requires you to use at least two articles, and sense the contrasts in technique
