HIST-001 World History I
Fall only
This course examines the history of the human experience from a global perspective. It begins with human origins and proceeds (quickly) through the long pre-agricultural era. The bulk of the semester concerns societies and states from the time of ancient civilizations to about 1500 AD. The course pays particular attention to political, economic, and social changes, but also considers cultural, technological, and ecological history. The evolving relationship between human identities and their social and material environments forms one of the major points of analytical focus for this course. The overarching goal is to provide a general framework for the history of the world to help students understand the big picture, and to help them to contextualize what they will later study about history, politics, religion--in short, about the human experience. Please refer to individual instructors' syllabi for details of each section. Fall.
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.
