ESH1001: Economic & Social History 1A: Economic and Social History in Global Contexts, ca. 1750-1914 | ECON 1990: Economics Elective (Economic and Social History in Global Contexts, ca. 1750-1914) | 4.00 | No | Economic and Social History 1A introduces students to economic and social history in global perspective.

Subsequent blocks of the course allow students to integrate study of key historical questions and themes with consideration of different world regions, which may include Europe, East Asia and South Asia, Africa, and North and South America. | 11,138 | Economic & Social History 1A: Economic and Social History in Global Contexts, ca. 1750-1914 | ESH1001 | Economic & Social History 1A: Economic and Social History in Global Contexts, ca. 1750-1914 | ECON 1990 | Economics Elective (Economic and Social History in Global Contexts, ca. 1750-1914) | 5 | ||
