Amit Prakash

This was my first IGST class, and I had a great time in this one with Prakash. He is a fantastic lecturer and covers a wide range of historiography, perspectives and content in his presentations. There is quite a bit of reading, but I found it manageable and mostly engaging.

Professor Prakash is an incredible professor. While there is a lot of reading and weekly writing about the readings you do, I absolutely recommend taking this class. There was a mid-term and final exam but you can absolutely study and do well on both. Thee discussions are also extremely enriching and have great content.

This course covers the years between 1914 and 1945 through a historical and psychological lens. I found the readings and lectures to be valuable and feel as though I have learned a lot. The readings can be long, but are interesting and worthwhile. Prakash is one of the smartest professors I've ever had and makes the class very enjoyable. One of the most interesting aspects of the class is how he blends Freud and Fromm into the historical materials, giving me a unique perspective on the rise of Fascism. It is a comprehensive and fast-paced course that I would certainly take again. Moreover, Prakash makes any class worthwhile.
