Thesis Topics - History

Hello everybody,

I find myself in an ultra stressful postition right now and could use some help! I was given the go ahead from my professor to write a paper in history. After writing the essay his comments were that it was essoterich and geeky. Now I need to start on another paper.

What are some good starting points or topics that might get me going in the right direction? This has completely blindsided me and I’m in damage control mode!

Thanks!
