Committee For Global Thought
Undergraduate Seminar
Tu 12:10-2PM
This course examines the long history of global interconnectivity, the forces that have forged it, the vulnerabilities and debates it has engendered, and the worlds it has created. It departs from civilizational approaches to world history that revolve around certain cultural centers and focuses instead on the webs of interconnection and interdependence generated by the movement of people, ideas, technologies, material cultures, pathogens, and flora and fauna across space and through time. In the face of surging ethno-nationalism and claims of cultural essentialism today, this approach underscores the hybridity of human societies and individual identities as well.
