HIST 319 - Geographical History

Institution:

Randolph-Macon College

Subject:

Description:

This thematic course illustrates how geographic methods and approaches can further our understanding of past societies and civilizations. To do so, it uses the paradigm of the Atlantic World from 1400 to 1888. It analyzes the relationships of Western European, West African, and North and South American peoples to the places they inhabited and came to inhabit after 1400, as well as the intraregional, interregional, and transoceanic networks that existed and emerged after contact and colonization. It investigates how both regional and hemispheric geographical attributes affected social and cultural development and contributed to social, cultural, and political changes over time-this includes: climatic and environmental factors, trade and distribution, land use, demographic shifts, and perceptions of the physical geography of the land. Offered alternate years. Three hours. Mr. Bergmann.
