Section Description
This class is about global exploration in the pre-modern world- a time when most maps were not intended for navigational purposes and monsters were thought to lurk just offshore. Leaving home meant long, uncertain years on the road, but this class tells the stories of those who took the leap anyway- some by choice, others by fate. We’ll use a global scope to explore the history of human interconnection through pilgrimage, trade, conquest, religious conversion, and diplomacy. Although Christopher Columbus is often mythologized as the father of globalization with his Atlantic crossing in 1492, this course challenges his supremacy by highlighting the long-distance travel and global connection achieved by much earlier travelers from Europe as well as non-European regions. Concentration: The Americas (HI05), Europe (HI02), Africa/Asia/Middle East/Global (HI04)
