Course Credit: 1
HIST-27523 Ethiopia and the World Ethiopia and the World is a multi-disciplinary course, which will look into Ethiopia’s internal and external factors that significantly shaped its socio-economic, political, cultural landscapes, and in turn how it has shaped the world. The course introduces students to the diverse histories of Ethiopia and the extent to which encounters between Ethiopia and the rest of the world have fashioned and refashioned its ancient and modern history. The course offers students with a holistic understanding of the Ethiopian experiences by covering a wide-array of subjects such as: the place of Ethiopia in the origin of mankind and the development of human society, the evolution of civilizations and state formations, Ethiopia’ s early interactions with Euro-Asian societies as well as with the modern world, Ethiopia’s response to the challenges of imperialism and more. Since this course is about Ethiopia and the world, it is pivotal for us to capture the changing dynamics within the country and the external world.  [HSS]
