HIST 2330J World History since 1400 CE
This course explores globalization as a cultural interchange subject to divergence, convergence, contagion, and systemization. Students will build empathy skills and detect biases in sources through close reading of sources and historical inquiry. The subject matter of the course will balance regional developments in the Global South (Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia) with events in Europe and North America. In emphasizing the interconnected of these places, students will gain greater understanding of the historical processes behind the creation of the contemporary world. (Previously NJCU Course HIST-233)
