HIS 319 Colonial America

This course explores the history of colonial North America from the late sixteenth through mid-eighteenth century. Students will explore how diverse colonial and native peoples experienced colonization with special attention to the process of “settler colonialism.” Studying the colonial period provides students a unique window onto both traditional categories of inquiry—including imperial rivalries, contested borderlands, the fashioning of gender roles, and the creation of race—but also introduces students to exciting new trends in the field.
