Global History: Early Modern to Modern Transition

1 Unit · Undergraduate

This course traces the histories of intellectuals, sailors, enslaved laborers, peasants, pirates, soldiers, activists, and consumers who created and then transformed the early modern world. Ranging across space, illuminating integration and interconnection, it considers the antecedents of our own globalized era and also ponders the discontinuities between the early modern world and our own. No prerequisites; first-time History students welcome.
