HIST-002 World History II
Spring only
This course considers human history since about 1500 AD, focusing on the dynamics of global interaction. It seeks to familiarize students with, and help them contextualize, historical processes and phenomena such as colonialism and imperialism, industrialization, modern population growth, nationalism and the rise of the nation-state, great power politics, and the emergence of modern science. Its goal is to explain how the world got to be the way it is, with a particular focus on how social and ethno-cultural identities have been shaped--and have in turn shaped--political, economic, and physical environments. Please refer to individual instructors' syllabi for details of each section. Spring.
Note: Although all sections of History-001 and 002 cover the same historical period, students should consult individual sections for variations in approach, emphasis, and readings. Each instructor will give particular attention to specific themes, indicated in the subtitle of each section. Syllabi for the various sections are available at the front desk in the History Department, 601 ICC.
