HIST 621 - Early World Historiography

3 credits
This course introduces students to historiographical methods in the study of world history, through both theory and the comparative analysis of selected transregional events, phenomena and/or patterns in the period 500-1450 C.E.. Theoretical materials include a range of scholarly perspectives from various global locations. The topic focus of the course may include one or more themes such as religion, trade, war, migration, gender, environment, disease, power, family or urbanization, and will include extensive non-Western examples to ensure genuinely global perspective. As the final product in this course, students will produce a 25-page paper demonstrating their command of an issue in world historiography in interpreting materials from the period 500-1450 C.E. In conjunction with Hist 622, students will be prepared for the World History and Historiography Capstone. As offerings vary, this course may be repeated with the instructor’s permission.
