Overview
Key Features
We currently face unprecedented challenges on a global scale. These problems do not neatly fall into disciplines. They are complicated, complex, and connected. Join us on this epic journey of 13.8 billion years starting at the Big Bang and travelling through time all the way to the future.
Experience our modern scientific origin story through Big History and discover the important links between past, current, and future events. You will find two different types of lectures.
‘Zooming In’ lectures from multiple specialists at the Big History - Connecting Knowledge course offered by Coursera in partnership with Macquarie University enable you to understand key concepts through the lens of different disciplines, whilst David Christian's ‘Big History Framework’ lectures provide the connective overview for a journey through eight thresholds of Big History.
