HIST 226 Renaissance to Revolution!
A history survey of the 14th-18th centuries: Renaissance, scientific advance, global encounters in Spanish and English empires, the Enlightenment, and revolutions (English, American, French). The luxury of European palaces and curiosity cabinets was based upon the exploitation of European peasants and global indigenous peoples. Students seeking origins of feminist and natural rights arguments will consider protest pamphlets, women's writings, utopian fiction, and enlightenment stories (some with film versions), which created empathy for others.
