HI 202 - Modern History & Culture (3)

Using culture as the central category of historical analysis, this course is a global history of human experience from ca. 1450 CE. to the present. In each major unit of the course, students will contextualize materials from the past to convey both the particularity of past lives and the scale of human experience through analysis of the effects of the breadth of time and place, the depth of detail, the multiplicity of perspectives, and the complex ways humans shape and/or are shaped by their past. In this manner, students will excavate the significance of culture as a reflection of and reaction to the development of power relations (i.e., political, economic, social, or gender hierarchies) and the impact of transnational forces (i.e., global networks of trade, war, ideas, or human migration) in diverse cultures and societies over time in world history. Meets the lower-division requirement for World History in the major. 2015 CORE: Creativity & Culture, Acquire, Global Studies. 2020 CORE:  Liberal Arts, History.
