This graduate research seminar focuses on the intertwined histories of the Americas, Europe, and Africa during the early modern period (c. 1400-1850). Students will conduct their own original research on a topic of their choosing. Class meetings will be dedicated to workshopping students' writing, learning about key sources and methodologies in Atlantic history, and reading selected works by outside scholars. Students will complete an article-length paper and conduct extensive directed readings.
