Horizon Hall - Hybrid

Section Information for Fall 2023

Sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europeans lived in a world in flux.  New printed books flooded the market and letter-writing networks now spanned the globe, challenging traditional ideas about everything from astronomy and mathematics to botany and medicine.  This course will use a combination of hands-on activities, digital history methods, lectures, and readings to explore the ways both elite natural philosophers and everyday men and women understood the world, and how those understandings changed--or didn't--during the early modern era.  No previous experience with college-level science or digital history is necessary.
