HIST 358 - The Atlantic World, 1500-1820
3 credits
Description
This course introduces the concept of an Atlantic World. Key integrative and interpretive themes and trends will be considered, including European exploration and expansion into the Atlantic, imperialism and colonialism, the emergence of an Atlantic economy and trade, intercultural interaction and exchange, and the establishment of the African slave trade and the plantation economy. The Atlantic World, as it emerged during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries was a complex community of communities, tied together by a web of relationships—personal, political, cultural, and commercial—and was, in a sense, a quintessential early modern multicultural community.

HIST 442 - War, Religion, and Culture: Christians and Muslims in the Mediterranean World, 1000-1600
3 credits
Description
This cross-cultural course will examine patterns of cooperation and conflict between Christian and Muslim societies in a region subject to a common geography, ecology, and climate. Combining lecture and discussion formats, the class will concentrate upon the following topics: the Mediterranean as a connected structure, the forging of a pluralist culture, and the “grand clash” of destiny between Christians and Muslims in Spain; transmission to Europe of Muslim scientific discoveries and the Greco-Roman legacy; the Crusades as an episode of conflict and peace interchange; the 16th Century “World” War between Hapsburg Spain and the Ottoman Empire; and Malta as the new frontier between East and West. By exposing students to a variety of cultures, this course will facilitate an understanding of human diversity and complexity; promote respect, if not acceptance, for peoples different from ourselves; arouse interest in cross-cultural approaches to historical study; and expose students to an exciting and important world region.
Note
Open to graduate students. Graduate students are required to do additional work of a research nature. History majors may count History 422, 470, and 471 for Wider World; History 442 for Europe. A student should contact the course instructor during the first two weeks of class if he/she intends to count any of these courses in the category listed above. Otherwise, the course will fall within the category which it is listed in the Catalog.
