Description

We will examine and interrogate a set of overlapping concerns that have not only shaped global history, imperial history, and histories of empire, but also stirred debate about the dividing line between such historiographical approaches. These concerns are to do in the first instance with scale in historical analysis and the drawing of connections and comparisons across and between different scalar units of analysis and over time. The core course will introduce students to relevant concepts and categories, trace the evolution of these different approaches to historical production, examine their application to a range of historical sub-fields, and consider some of the hallmark or canonical works.
