This course addresses all of these questions.
Introductory knowledge clips, state of the art reading and in-depth podcasts will help you explore the various astrophysical, geological, biological and cultural processes that shaped our world.
During seminars you will reflect on the often unexplored connections between them.
In a final 'little big history' project, you will apply what you've learned throughout the course to an aspect of our current world that you think is particularly interesting, and while doing so, think about this aspect in a creative and interdisciplinary way.
Finally, you will get to present your final project to your peers during a concluding student symposium.
Timetable
You can find the timetable on Datanose.
