Section Information for Fall 2021

This course provides a graduate-level introduction to the history and historiography of North America from (very) roughly the beginnings of European colonization to the end of the Seven Years’ War. We will explore the changing parameters and definitions of the field, including its most recent incarnation as #VastEarlyAmerica, and we will consider the various themes of encounter, exchange, empire, conflict, community, and consolidation that historians have developed to make sense of this complex, multiethnic, and transnational world. The British colonies will remain the main (though not exclusive) focus, but we will explore ways of understanding those colonies within larger continental, Atlantic, and world-historical frameworks
