Section Information for Fall 2020

In this course, we will study the connections between multiple civilizations, empires, religions, and other social groups across time and space. We will discuss how people reacted to events around them, and how their choices drove later events. We will study primary sources to understand the events as they happened, from the people who experienced them. We will use sources from the powerful and the marginalized, and we will study events as large as global economic revolutions and as small as daily life in stable states.

By focusing on historical experiences that reflect the diversity of Mason’s student body, students will be able to see how their families and communities fit within, and contribute to, global history from the pre-modern period to our present day. This course offers a long-term historical perspective on structural issues challenging our world today, including demographic and environmental changes, national and global inequalities, and the underrepresentation of marginalized groups. Students will gain an understanding of how interconnections and inter-dependencies have been forged through the global movement of people, pathogens, goods, and ideas. Limited to three attempts.
