Social beliefs, values and art from cultures of Asia, Africa, the Native Americas, the Islamic world and Europe from 50,000 B.C.E. to 1400 C.E. are traced comparatively, including their overlays, convergences and separate developments. Students collaborate in research and participate in experiential exercises relating course content to issues of cultural identity, cultural awareness, globalization and pluralistic societies.
