Today, we need more than just "His-story" and "Her-story"; we require a history that encompasses both "I" and "We", one that resonates with the globalized, polyethnic culture of the modern world. This course emphasizes a first-person perspective on society's past and present, which is crucial for shaping identities. The course offers a critical, interdisciplinary approach, valuing unconventional methods such as engaging with visual materials, understanding emotions and empathy, creative writing, and conceptual thinking. Diverse historical and cultural interpretations, especially those often sidelined, are prioritized. Consequently, dialogue between the instructor and students is pivotal, fostering a shared language throughout the course.
