Section Info: Description: Over the course of the past three and a half centuries, European development—cultural, economic, social, political, and intellectual—has had an enormous impact on the world we live in today. European history has also been vital to the creation of what we think of as “identity”: how we define and describe ourselves, and how we define and describe others. This semester we will learn how events, inventions, and ideologies (from wars, revolutions, slavery, railroads, and computers, to nationalism, Nazism, feminism, imperialism, and colonialism) have contributed to the evolution of modern European history while also influencing how we imagine and understand ourselves. The historical analysis of text, music, art, and film will be integral to our work.
