  • HI 7500: Questioning Global History

    3.00 Credits
    SUNY College at Old Westbury

    In recent decades, World History has shifted its focus: whereas h istorians of an earlier generation concentraded on the seperate stories of the different major peoples and civiliations around the world and their eventual absorption into a European created and dominated modern world system, contemporary world historians study peoples and civilizations in a global context, looking for global patterns of common development and reciprocal interation between human communities and focusing on the extent to which globalization grew out of earlier trans-regional processes and interactions. As the culminating experience of the Social Studies M.A.T. this course is designed to bring the skills and knowledge students iwll have developed in earlier courses to bear on the issues raised by the study and teaching of World History. It begins by introducing the origins of the sub-discipline of World History, controversies about whether and how it should be taught, and the major approaches to conceptualizing it that are currently employed. Next, it focuses on one recent survey of World History from a global perspective in order to give students experience critically engaging with an extended scholarly work in the field while at the same time giving them an overview of the content of World History itself. Finally, the course moves students from learning about World History to teaching it, starting with a discussion of various pedagogical methods and resources to support them, particularly sources available on the Internet; continuing with student presentations on a major topic in it, the origins and early development of civilizations in Eurasia, Africa, and the Americas, utilizing PowerPoint; moving from these presentations to the development of lesson plans based on them; and concluding with student evaluations of commonly used World History textbooks. Pre-Requisite: Completion of four content core courses.
