from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic
Course number: HIST-GA.2162
Term: Fall 2014
Professor: Professor Pedro Cardim
Contact Information: [email protected]
Course Description
Offered as a colloquium, this course examines the history of the Iberian monarchies
from the late 15th to the early 19th century. It aims to provide students with an ample,
detailed and up-to-date knowledge of the Spanish and Portuguese monarchies, and to
provide the basis for comparison between these political entities and other imperial
organizations across space and time. The course offers a substantial amount of required
and optional readings to be presented and discussed in class. The readings reflect the
simultaneous expansion of the Iberian monarchies, both in Europe and across the
broader Atlantic world.
The class meets once per week. The first part of each session is allotted to a lecture by
the professor, while the second part is devoted to an oral presentation by students,
followed by discussion. Lectures supplement and complement reading assignments, and
introduce problems to be raised in the discussion period. In the discussion, students will
analyze problems and interpretations from the readings and/or lectures from each week.
Outlines of lectures, maps and other supplementary material will be distributed to
students on the web.
Assessment and Final Grade
This is a reading intensive course that will require active and informed participation in
class discussions. Class participation will count toward 50% of the course evaluation.
Each week, one group of students will be in charge of presenting the main questions
raised and arguments advanced in the readings so as to initiate discussion. Students of
the other group will write a 2-page response paper to submit in class as a hard copy
(font size: 12; line spacing: 1.5). By the end of the term, each student will have written
6 or 7 response papers, due every other week. Response papers will count toward 50%
of the final grade.
