Disgrifiad cryno

Whether we consider the Crusades of the Middle Ages, the ‘discovery’ of America in the fifteenth century, the colonisations, or the World Wars of the twentieth century, European history has been defined by interactions with the wider world. This module will explore key themes, events and developments in the history of Europe’s relationship with the rest of the world over the last millennium. By examining the themes of violence, ideas, migration, colonisation and trade, this module will reconsider the role that Europe has played in the wider world. Students will also gain an understanding of how these exchanges have changed Europe. This course introduces students to new areas of history and a more global approach to the subject, which will provide a taste of topics and themes in which they can specialise in their Part Two studies.

Cynnwys

Lectures
The first lecture will provide an introduction to the module and the key themes to be discussed. The course will be divided into five themes: violence, colonialism, ideas, migration and trade. Each theme will be covered in a set of three lectures. Each set of lectures will begin with a led lecture that introduces the theme and gives a conceptual and chronological overview. The next two lectures in the set will be case studies that explore the theme in a specific context. For example, the set on migration would include one introductory lecture that outlines migration as a concept and provides an overview of migrations between Europe and the wider world in the period 1000-2000. The lecture will also introduce the two case studies that are to follow and locate them within the broader context of the theme. The case studies provide an opportunity to explore the migration in a specific geographical or temporal context.

1. Violence
2. Trade
