What is Global European History?
HIST 1946
Subject & Catalog Number
Course Information
Description
The field of modern European history has changed significantly over the course of the last few decades. Calls to "provincialize" Europe have been met with new approaches to Europe that include, and often center, non-European experiences and the role non-Europeans played in the making of modern Europe. This conference course explores the directions modern European history took after the global, imperial, and environmental "turns" and asks questions about where the field will go next.
Course Notes
Undergraduates are welcome in this course, but it is a course with a heavy reading load. Weekly readings will often include a full monograph and several scholarly articles. This course meets the "Beyond North America" History Concentration requirement.
