HIS 189 - Mariners, Renegades, and Castaways: Writing History from the Margins of Empire (4 Cr.) (GCR Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies area)
What is history, and who gets to write it? This course probes these questions by investigating Atlantic history from the “bottom up.” Rather than focusing on the lives of monarchs and nations, we’ll investigate the emergence of “globalization” through the lives of runaway slaves, pirates, and the bawdy tavern scene of the Atlantic World. Students will work closely with primary sources to uncover “hidden histories” of the maritime underground while touching on themes ranging from early modern prostitution to slave rebellions. Are you ready to set sail? This course is primarily intended for first or second year students. Spring semester. Dator.
