Lecturer: Professor Robert Garland, Colgate University.

People who are anonymous and whose lives are usually ignored in traditional historical accounts are no less important than more prominent individuals in influencing the flow of events. These ordinary, but often heroic, people are the focus of this course. Each of the 48 lectures looks at history from a nontraditional perspective, that of the weak and marginalized--the poor, sick, disabled, and elderly, as well as the refugees, slaves, women, children, and common soldiers.
