| Certificates: International Relations |
This intensive survey of European history from the French Revolution to the present will consider European history in terms of many types of history, often from conflicting perspectives, including, for example, political history, economic history, social history, women's history, intellectual history, and psycho history. Throughout the history tutorial, emphasis will be placed on developing students' skills in reading, writing, and debating. The history tutorial is designed to ground the students in modern European history and also to develop students' ability to master related materials in the future. |
