HIS 77. Global history
Global history has long held an important place in historical
research. Global history goes beyond borders and cultivates one of
the things that the discipline of history does best. It aims to
identify profound developments in both time and space. Therefore,
it transcends established chronologies and challenges our familiar
geographical units. Global history compares cultures and societies
and follows connections across continents. It asks questions such
as: Why did Europe industrialize first? In which ways have
colonialism and imperialism formed the world of today? And, how
have global epidemic diseases shaped societal development for
millennia? The course introduces the main methodological approaches
in global history and focuses on a number of the field's key
issues. For the exam, we expect the student to be able to
characterize, compare and discuss key issues within the field of
global history based on the syllabus.
OBS: kurset består tillige af et nærmere
afgrænset historisk forskningsområde. Se lektionskatalog.
