Considers pivotal encounters between and among diverse cultures (Asian, African, America, and European) throughout the pre-modern period, but with an emphasis on the critical period, ca. 1100-1700. Considers how scholars have understood and theorized cross-cultural encounters, as well as looking at particular historical examples. With each study, primary and secondary sources will be utilized, examining the specific historical conditions that led to these meetings, their impact on the individuals and societies involved, and the larger lessons of the encounter of cultures for our own times. Why did Christian Europe emerge as the predominant global power by the sixteenth century? How did/does the experience of travel shape the perceptions of Others? What was the significance of religious, economic and political motivations for cross-cultural encounters?
