Assignment:

Posts should consist of 3-4 full paragraphs and be thoughtful, reflective, and containing extensive supporting evidence from the unit.
The first paragraph should introduce your thesis, which is a specific statement answering the question. This should be underlined. Each paragraph should also begin with a clear topic sentence, with every sentence in that paragraph relating directly to it.
Cite your evidence parenthetically like this (Woolley, Lecture 1.1, 03:31-03:58) for lectures, with the time stamp, or (Green, 72) for the readings. You should accurately cite as many lectures and readings as possible, but at least 4 in total for full credit.

Prompt

"The purpose of this post (and the exit post) is to consider the concept of "Eurocentrism," that is, the privileging of Europeans and their history, ideas, modes of thought, practices, and so on over those of non-Europeans. Do you believe that the practice of history (that is, how we research, think about, and teach history), which originated in Europe, is necessarily Eurocentric? Why or why not, and what experiences do you have to support this? If you believe that it is, why do you think this is problematic, and how do you think this teacher can address this?"
