UIC Shinhan Seminar - Spring 2017 (3 credits)

'Europe', remarked the French historian Fernand Braudel, 'is a peninsula of Asia’. This striking view of the relationship between the two continents was informed by his study of the Mediterranean Sea, which both divides and connects them. Although historians have long explored the human past through the land, recent interest has turned to the seas to better understand the interaction of peoples and cultures. What is responsible for this shift of focus – why have oceans become places through which to study ourselves in time? What does the history of the world look like when told from the perspective of the seas? In this Shinhan Seminar class we will be discussing cutting-edge work that tackles these questions with one of the world’s leading intellectual historians, Professor David Armitage of Harvard University. Join UIC Professors Bradford Bow and Michael Ratnapalan for our Spring 2016 class, 'History of Oceanic Worlds'.
