Description:

Survey in European history since the 18th century. Over the past 200 years, European society has changed profoundly. From scientific discoveries, to the spread of democracy, to the rise of secularism, Europe has undergone revolutionary transformations. Many people consider most of these developments to be critical markers of progress, and they point to democracy, industrialization, scientific advances, and technological innovations as evidence of this progress. Such developments also came with negative repercussions, such as colonialism, mass destruction and genocide. Students are exposed to various historical interpretations, including political, social, gender, and cultural narratives. Prerequisite: sophomore/junior/senior status. Offered each fall.
