Welcome to Empires in World History!

Welcome to the official blog of HI350, Empires in World History, a course being taught during the Spring 2013 semester at Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, MA.  Over the course of this semester, my students and I will be using this space to reflect on our readings and discussions about empire.  The course spans a great deal of time and space, but we have two particularly exciting books to guide us along the way: Jane Burbank & Frederick Cooper's Empires in World History and Timothy Parson's The Rule of Empires.  Expecting some fascinating discussions along the way!
