- Class Description:
- History 1015W is an account of the significant developments in global history since roughly the beginning of the 20th century. Through lectures, class readings, writing exercises, and section discussions, we will cover economic, political, social, and cultural developments that have shaped our world. Our course is intended to give you a basic framework of events and processes so that you will be able to situate yourself in complex strands of contemporary change, from the transformations underway in the Arab world, to the dilemmas of European integration, to the problem of American power, and China's ongoing political and economic transformations. These subjects cannot be understood without reference to processes of imperialism and decolonization, the rise of mass democratic states with universal suffrage, the emergence of global media systems, and the ongoing self-invention and adaptation of finance capital to new regions of the globe. As this is a writing intensive course, the course will pay close attention to improving students? writing skills, in the context of a variety of in-class and at-home assignments.
