HIST 365 - Global Issues

4 credits. D.

This course examines four general categories of global issues – ethnic diversity, war and peace, economic development, and ecological sustainability – and the various interpretive perspectives that offer understandings of each. Integrating the contributions of several disciplines, we examine the historical origins and future trends of these problems, their causes and consequences, and their potential solutions. In addition, students will learn a variety of transferable skills, including the ability to construct policies and negotiate differences among competing interests. This course can also count toward the heritage and museum studies program.
