Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
Fulfills the Non-Western Requirement for History Majors. While scholars of globalization often proclaim the novelty of the present, historians have become suspicious that deeper connections exist between global, networked presents, and colonial pasts. In this course we will study a variety of colonial histories form the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and investigate whether and in what ways that history remains with us today. Our examples will come from Euroamerican colonial empires, and topics will include commodity production and circulation, work regimes, labor migrations, gender and sex, development, science, medicine, and racial epistemologies.
