THE ATLANTIC WORLD I

Undergraduate

This course examines the emergence of an “Atlantic World” through an exploration of the interactions of West African, Western European and Indigenous American peoples, and of the societies and identities that were developed as a result of those interactions. The period covered is roughly the 1400s through the early 1800s. Course assignments are all writing intensive, and a key outcome for the course is improved written communication skills.
