    >United States this summer. This is a chance to learn world history
    >scholarship and approaches to teaching from experienced world
    >historians,

    >global
    >patterns over time and space. Become acquainted with large scale
    >historical themes like climatic change, the spread of religions, and the
    >expansion to a global economy. Join colleagues designing history courses
    >to
    >analyze local and regional developments within the context of global
    >change. Put cultural practices into a historical context. Construct
    >comparative studies of societies as part of the course content.
