ADHS 1011 Atlantic Worlds
This class investigates the religious, economic, cultural, and political changes of an increasingly entangled Atlantic as its many "worlds" converged into an Atlantic world over the course of four centuries, from 1400-1800. It explores how Europeans, Africans, and Native Americans came into contact with one another and their varied spaces, biodiversity, and commodities, inspiring either conflict, negotiation, coordination, adaptation, or frequently all of the above depending on particular historical circumstances. Our tasks are to examine what happened, why such things happened, and how these changes were significant then and now.
