HIST 10
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
The past isn’t over; it’s everywhere. And history isn’t something dead—a body of evidence locked in a box. It’s a living thing—an ongoing investigation. This team-taught course will raise your historical consciousness by excavating the origins of key and contested concepts in the world today–like rights, memory, belonging, sovereignty–using a wide range of cases and kinds of evidence. Lectures will be interactive, modeling debate and disagreement. Students will acquire a richer sense of context for present-day issues–and of how to deploy historical thinking in making sense of the past, present, and future.
