HUM R1B - Global Humanities: Old World, New World, Our World
Course Title
Global Humanities: Old World, New World, Our World
Course Description
This reading and writing intensive course is organized around three modules: “Old World,” dealing with the Eurasian landmass over the classical and early modern eras; “New World,” dealing with the Americas, and “Our World,” dealing with the globalized world we live in today. We will thus be exploring a series of texts organized both historically and geographically, from antiquity to the present, and from the transcontinental to the global. The course fulfills the goals of the second half of the reading and composition requirement (R1B). Success in this course depends upon deep reading, ongoing participation, and steady commitment to the composition and revision of two progressively longer research essays.
