HST 205 Perspectives of the Past: Connecting People, Ideas, and History of the Modern World

History 205 asks students to explore the Early Modern Era of history through many different perspectives, paying close attention to voices of women, children, workers, farmers, and other people who lived during that time. As a student of both History and English 205, students will engage in the complex concepts of imperialism, colonialism, revolutions, political ideologies, and other historical topics through lenses of historical analysis as well as literature.
