HIST 102 - World Civilizations II

This course will provide an introduction to the history of the Early Modern World, from the period of trade and cultural expansion under the Mongols to the Atlantic Revolutions of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.  The course will emphasize the social, intellectual and political revolutions that shaped different cultures during this period, and it will address points of comparison between them.  Points of contact and conflict between cultures and the broader forces that help to define those contacts-trade, migration, colonialism, and patterns of disease-will also be discussed. The class will also consider the nature of history and its methods as an academic discipline.
