HISTORICIZING GLOBALIZATION: USING THE SILK ROADS TO TEACH MODERN GLOBAL HISTORY Robin Kietlinski CUNY-Baruch College

Global History Course Description The objective of this course is fundamentally to understand global history from 1500 to the present day. You will be using a concise history textbook along with a few supplemental sources in order to construct this understanding. The textbook we will be using, Traditions & Encounters, focuses on the origins and spread of global interdependence from 1500 to the present, so the central focus and recurring theme of the course will be globalization. In other words, how has cross-cultural interaction over the past five centuries shaped individual societies and the world as a whole? We will be doing exercises in critical reading and short writing assignments throughout the semester in order to engage with the discipline of history.
