  • HIST 102: Alien Encounters in History

    4.00 Credits
    Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

    People often make the judgment that since the past has influenced our own world, the people of the past must somehow be "like us" in fundamental ways. This course will seek to undermine that judgment by arguing that we are fundamentally different from people in the past and that in understanding these differences, we can more freely choose our futures. Our field of inquiry will be European History in the centuries that include the Ancient World through the Renaissance. In particular, we will examine the ways in which Europeans (a definition that evolves over time) define themselves through encountering and interacting with "alien" cultures. Examples: What's the difference between civilized people and barbarians? How do the people on both sides of the Crusades misunderstand each other? How do the Khan and the Pope try to negotiate their communication? These are a few of the "alien" encounters that we may study. (WCore: WCFAH and WE)

  • HIST 110: Puzzles of World History

    4.00 Credits
    Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

    Students will explore questions of why civilizations developed where and when they do. What makes some civilizations successful where others fail? How did ancient cultures view love, sex, gender, and marriage? How did ancient views about the afterlife impact their cultures and actions? During this course students will explore how different factors affect the outcomes in history and how historians have unraveled these puzzles of the past. Our context will be world civilizations before the Columbian Exchange and we will include examples from civilizations across the globe. (WCore: WCFAH, WE)

    4.00 Credits

    This class will serve as an introduction to American history from the colonial period to the present day. We will seek to answer some fundamental questions: How did we get here? How did we go from a handful of small, not very important British colonies to the richest and most powerful nation on earth? How free have Americans been, who has wielded power, and how has that changed over time? How do historians construct their versions of the past? (WCore: WCFAH, DE)
