HIST 3415 - Migrations in Modern Global History (3 Cr.) Global Perspectives, Historical Perspectives
Course description
This is a liberal education course that emphasizes particular learning outcomes while developing students’ historical and global perspectives. The purpose of HIST 3415 is dispel the impression, common among students, that North America is in some sense unique in its long history of international migrations. The course examines a history of human mobility that stretches from the earliest days of human life on earth down to the present and that begins in Africa before extending to case studies of migrants living and adapting to new social, cultural, and physical environments in every part of the world. Along the way, it introduces students to the intersection of history, humanities and social sciences as ways of knowing about the past and analyzing the present and encourages students to encounter, evaluate, and interpret the past through the use of primary sources.
