All humanistic sciences have a historical and cultural perspective. This course will introduce some of the basic theories and themes within this broad field. We will focus on a global perspective on theories, concepts and analytical approaches within the subjects of History and Cultural Encounters. The course deals with some crosscutting topics, such as, Power, Globalization, Gender, Eurocentrism, Postcolonialism, and Nationalism.

A core interest in the course will be how the past is used and influences the present, and how the social and political categories, which we take for granted in our everyday lives, are shaped historically and negotiated contemporarily.

The course is valued at 5 ECTS which is equivalent to 130 hours.

There are 10 teaching classes of 1.75 hours each = 17.5 teaching hours in addition to 10 hours of review classes = 27.5 contact hours.

Preparation for each class is 7-8 hours = approximately 80 hours in total

The essay writing = approximately 20 hours
