Credits: 3

A study of the increasing interconnection of various parts of the world from the 14th century to the present. The class focuses on mobility–the way that people, ideas, objects, and materials move through various geographic and social spaces and across borders throughout history. This course is thematic in its approach, emphasizing that ‘globalization’ is hardly a new phenomenon but has occurred for centuries. We examine the ways that peoples, communities, and nations made and remade themselves as they traveled across the globe over the past seven centuries. Equal emphasis on Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Tallie.
