Notes

【Course Objectives】

Become familiar with the history of Europe, East Asia, and the Islamic world.

Explore the multifaceted interactions between these regions over almost two millennia, especially regarding intellectual and cultural exchange, religious transmissions, trade, warfare, and migration.

Develop crucial skills for theoretical reflection and critical engagement with theoretical concepts and approaches developed in history and global studies.

Train crucial skills in reflectively discussing European and Asian history and being able to deliver informed oral presentations.

【Course Contents】

In this course, we will explore the entangled histories of Europe and Asia, East Asia in particular, up to the late nineteenth century. We will examine a variety of topics, ranging from political, social, and economic history to religious transmissions, intellectual and cultural exchange, warfare, and migration. The course comprises three elements: First, we will discuss recent academic approaches to world history and global history. Second, we will explore the interactions and entanglements between Europe, East Asia, and the Islamic world. Finally, we will discuss the nature of these exchanges and what they tell us about globalization, regionalism, and Eurocentrism in specific group discussion sessions.
