Modern Humanities: Colonies, Constitutions, and Capital

Catalog description

The world we know took shape since the 1600s as European empires conquered much of the world; industrialization and capitalism expanded and redistributed power and wealth; and science opened new ways of viewing and changing the world. Humans forged new ideas to justify or challenge these changes. This is the Humanities section of a co-taught course that explores the art, philosophy, history, and cultures of the modern world to understand how it came to be. Students registered in this course can only earn credit towards the Humanities Discovery category and cannot satisfy Discovery categories associated with other sections of this team-taught course.
