This course answers big questions about the present state of the world by excavating their historical development. Each year, instructors identify four new contemporary questions to explore through lecture, podcasts, readings, and videos. Students learn historical methodologies, including gathering and evaluating evidence, and developing compelling arguments and narratives. Students use these skills to investigate questions that matter to them through a collaborative research project, learning that everything has a history, including the issues grabbing our attention right now.
