HIST7815 · History
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
In recent years, history has taken what many are calling a "global turn." This involves both looking at old topics in new ways and investigating new topics that were previously neglected. This course will examine some key themes in recent global history, including economic, political, and cultural transformations. We will ask about the birth of the modern world and the relationship among various regions in the age of empire, discovery, colonialism, and globalization.
