0.0 stars

Debates about families, sex, and sexuality frame the outline of this course. Each of these subjects differed greatly for individuals in all parts of the Atlantic World, and immediately became points of contention in the clash of societies during the early modern era. The course traces key themes and questions in a variety of locations, mainly focused in West Africa (Liberia, Ghana, and Nigeria), Europe (England and France), and North America (the U.S. and Mexico) since 1700. In addition to learning about historical subjectivities of people in the past, the course also explores historiography (that is, the history of history) as well as tools and techniques used in researching and interpreting the past.

WOH 2022: Global History Since 1750
Unrestricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

This course offers an introduction to the major themes and events in modern global history from 1750 to the present. Unlike courses that focus on the history of a specific country or region of the world, this course will explore the interconnected nature of peoples, ideas, goods, commerce, and events across the entire globe. Through an examination of the Atlantic Revolutions of the eighteenth century, the Industrial Revolutions of the nineteenth century, the rise and fall of global imperialism, two massive world wars and a global cold war, and the increasingly globalized nature of economics, diseases, technology, and political affairs in the modern era, this course will ask us to consider the relationship of individuals and their local affairs to the wider world. Through a wide range of primary sources such as diaries, newspaper articles, letters, political treatises, novels, and films, we will explore how humans across the world experienced and thought about the world and their place within it; secondary sources will help us situate these experiences within their historical context.
