No more West and the rest. Plato to NATO is out. From Big Bang to the present is in. In this course we will concern ourselves with how to read about, how to conceptualize, and how to teach global history. We will read globally (David Christian) and locally (David Wright). We will sample some old wine (Eric Wolf, Immanuel Wallerstein, Edward Said) as well as newer vintages. We will expand our purview beyond written history and explore reading and teaching world history visually and through literature. Throughout students will be encouraged to bring their own perspectives to bear.
