"Globalization," as described by politicians and economists, and protested and praised by other observers, has a specific meaning in our own time. We will study the emergence of a global economy and the intersection of cultures that marked thehistory of the world well before the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The topics of the course will draw on political, economic, social, and cultural history. The perspective of the course will shift, as we try to lookat events and developments from the vantage point of participants and observers, of insiders and outsiders to particular cultures, regions, and states.Recitation sections: (registration in a recitation section gives automatic registration in the lecture)N1 M 11:00-11:50 Reg. #037707 N6 R 3:00-3:50 Reg. #207190N2 W 2:00- 2:50 Reg. #243398 N7 F 1:00-1:50 Reg. #243036N3 W 3:00- 3:00 Reg. #039049 N8 F 9:00-9:50 Reg. #381146N4 W 4:00- 4:50 Reg. #252708 N9 F 10:00-10:50 Reg. #271201N5 M 12:00-12:50 Reg. #288244 N10 M 1:00-1:50 Reg. #254700UGC 112VWorld Civilization IIProfessor SchenM W 11:00-11:50 Reg. # (recitation section)This course will explore common themes in the birth of the modern world: therise of individualism, science, and the encounter with the other.

We shall discuss a broad range of subjects, from economics and wars, to culture, religion and gender. There will be special emphasis on the invention of the American political system and the crucial problem of race. We shall consider the changing lives of ordinary people as well as the broad trends, which shaped society as a whole. USHHIS 162U.S. History IIProfessor CahnM W 12:00-12:50 Reg. # (recitation section)This course is an introduction to the history of the United States from Reconstruction to the present. Because of the vast amount of material, my approach will be selective—emphasizing some events and issues but not necessarily leaving out others. By looking at major trends and key moments ofhistory like industrialization, civil rights, popular cultures, and the Cold War, we will analyze and interpret some of the central developments in U.S. political, economic, and social history. As a Cultural Pluralism course, we will constantly focus on issues of race, ethnicity and gender as they enter into and shape major historical developments. The class is designed for you to THINK about history—its interpretations, its significance, its contradictions and its relevance to you. You’ll get various perspectives throughout the course—my own, the teaching assistants, and those of other historians.
