Asia, the World, and Big History

3.00 credits · Undergraduate

This course introduces the concept 'Big History', the history of the universe since the beginning of time, to place the human experience in the broadest possible context. Moving from the big to the small, the course explores general patterns of human history such as migration and exchange, ending with a survey of historical trends in Asia over the past two thousand years.
