Winter quarter 2018 schedule BE 210 A Global history of the Built Environment I taken by Dr. Vikramāditya Prakāsh. It may be of interest to students of varied interests and backgrounds.
Using a global perspective, this course critically examines built environments over time beginning with First Societies through the 1st millennium CE. The global perspective encourages thinking about history in a transnational and transgeographical manner. The course is broadly structured around the concept of “time cuts,” that allow for comparison and connections across regions and cultural formations. No prerequisites.
