Institution:

University of Illinois at Springfield

Subject:

History

Description:

Course seeks to understand the historical transformations across time and to compare the manifestations across cultures of the popular, but elusive figure of the pirate. We will attempt to understand how these figures may have thought of themselves, how they were so labeled by land-based authorities, and how their histories were appropriated and romanticized for ideological ends. This course fulfills an Engaged Citizenship Common Experience requirement at UIS in the areas of Global Awareness or ECCE Elective.
