Section Information for Spring 2023
This course examines how societies around the world have been shaped, both culturally and politically, by interregional contact. The course will be centered specifically on the role of the “Silk Roads” as an important site of contact between Asia, Africa, and Europe. It will examine the role of the trade route in spreading religious change, material goods, science, and imperial conquest, as well as more contemporary uses of the network by nations aiming to integrate economies and consolidate political power. By examining the experiences of non-western societies, this course encourages students to develop a global outlook, and to deepen their understanding of the ways in which interregional contact makes and transforms political, social, and racial boundaries.
