(HI) Historical Inquiry

This course will explore New England history from pre-Columbus to the present day by exploring the region's historical relationship with the rest of the United States, Canada and the world. We will examine New England as a center of thought, politics and the economy, a place whose people often drive the nation's policies and socio-cultural development. Unique in its approach, this team-taught course will provide students with a most engaging experience and it promises to make you look at New England's history from an entirely new perspective by examining important themes in the region's past, including: the Asian-Diaspora in New England, Transcendentalism, the conservation movement, literature, intellectual life, cities, migration, abolitionism, the American Revolution, and many others.
