COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is a three-unit course which aims to study to the history of world civilizations from roughly 500 to 1600 CE. Our analysis will
focus on two principal themes: (1) the evolution of leading civilizations and (2) the frameworks for contact among these different
civilizations. The first theme will identify major stages in the development of dominant civilizations: an Islamic civilization in the
medieval period and a largely Christian European civilization in the later, early modern period. The second theme will emphasize
major stages in the interaction between and among different peoples and societies around the globe.
This course also invites students to examine world history at close range by relying on a variety of primary source materials, both
textual and visual. In this way, students are exposed to the analytical process that is a large part of the historian's craft. Students are
encouraged to draw their own well-reasoned conclusions from these materials
