Section Information for Spring 2017
This course will be a broad survey of the political, economic, religious, social, and intellectual forces that shaped Western Civilization, in both global and specific national contexts. The main themes driving this survey will be examining the changing sources of political legitimacy and national power, and understanding the development of different imagined political communities. From these themes, students will gain an appreciation of the forces which produced the modern nation-state, and which have produced its successes and its discontents. Throughout the course, students will learn skills necessary for them both as students of history and in most of life’s endeavors: critical and analytical thinking, writing, reading, listening, note taking, working in groups, and public speaking. Over the course of the semester, we will explore these and other topics through lectures, discussions, readings, and other resources.
