Encounters and Exchanges in Modern World History
Course Description
This course examines the nature, course and impact of encounters and exchanges, cultural and economic, between civilizations and across global regions from the early modern period (c. 1500) to the present. It explores how much interaction confirms, alters or changes the way societies see themselves as well as their view of those with whom they come into contact. The impact of trade networks, the role of intermediaries between cultures in contact, the cross-regional impact of the exchange of crops, diseases and animals, and the processes of colonialism and globalization are among those topics which will receive close attention.
