About this course

This course will introduce students to the study of history by exploring a particular event, individual, or issue, and its legacy. Each section will focus on a different topic; examples range from Hannibal to Cesar Chavez, to the Silk Road and the War in Vietnam. Students will read both primary source documents and modern texts to examine how the topic under consideration was shaped by, and in turn shaped contemporary culture.

Seat status as of Sep 29, 10:50 PM ET. Seats change fast, so a class shown as open may be full by now. Watch a full class to be emailed the moment it opens.
