Course summary
This program is the study and interpretation of human society as it changes over time. It addresses questions of human identity and the origins of civilizations and society. History strives to study all past human experience, bringing to the task the full range of methodological and analytical tools. In the process, historians do many things. They compile, analyze, and compare statistics on everything from literacy to poverty. They scrutinize novels, diaries, letters, and photographs to reconstruct what life was like for people in other times and places. They weave individual lives and artifacts into narratives and descriptions of change and continuity in human societies.
