History 663, "The Atlantic World," is a colloquium intended to introduce students to the burgeoning field of the Atlantic World, in the era approximately 1600-1850. The course aims to familiarize specialists in US history with broader trends in the world during the period of colonial and early national American history and to decenter the United States and Britain in familiar stories such as slavery and revolution. The course aims to offer students in other specializations like Europe or Latin America with an introduction to the content and most current analytical tools of Atlantic World history.
