We are looking for a teacher in history who can give an introductory lecture about the methodology of historical research, involving for instance source criticism, the use of scientific theories from other fields, or the role of predictions, and clarify the distinction with pseudohistory.

Course description
The course "Good and Bad Science" gives an introduction to different scientific disciplines (besides history: for instance evolutionary biology, psychology, medicine, and statistics), the philosophy of science, science communication, and how they differ from their pseudoscientific counterparts.
Each discipline is taught by a specialist in the field.
