This course, team-taught by a historian and a literary scholar, focuses on the long struggle of African Americans for justice and equality in the U.S. Analyzing literary and historical texts, students in this course will learn about and engage in research on African American history and culture. Utilizing historical, literary, and cultural approaches, this interdisciplinary course will immerse students into an exploration of the African American experience from multiple perspectives using dual disciplinary frameworks. For example, students may study Richard Wright’s NATIVE SON, but would read the text within the historical and cultural framework of the Great Migration, connecting Wright’s text not just to other literary texts, but situating it within an historical and cultural context vital to the novel’s creation and essential for its interpretation. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 12 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies the English core requirement and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement.

Introduces students to historical reasoning. Students learn to analyze evidence from the past in context in order to explain how the past produced the ever-changing present. The course introduces students to social, political, cultural, and economic developments from the American Civil War to the present day. It not only traces how ideas and lived experiences within each of those categories of historical analysis changed over time, but also shows how developments in each realm of American life shaped the others. It pays special attention to how American politics, institutions, and cultural norms emerged from—and produced—a changing role for the United States in its global context. It also interrogates how efforts to define American identity have both provided the terrain for inclusion and been used to justify the exclusion of various people, including racial, ethnic, and immigrant groups, people of different genders and sexual identities, and people of diverse religious and political beliefs.

Since Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt in 1798, Europeans and Middle Easterners have been writing modern histories of the Islamic world. The colonizer and the colonized, however, asked fundamentally different historical questions. In this course students will learn about the methods of studying Middle Eastern history, or the techniques of analyzing primary sources to piece together an argument about the past, as well as the ways in which the privilege and historical context of researchers inflect their scholarship. By focusing on the methodologies that scholars engage in order to study the Middle East, like Marxist analysis, gender theory, microhistory, or postcolonialism, students learn about trends within the discipline of History, as well.

Utilizing historical, literary, and cultural approaches, this interdisciplinary course will immerse students into an exploration of the African American experience from multiple perspectives using dual disciplinary frameworks. For example, students may study Richard Wright’s NATIVE SON, but would read the text within the historical and cultural framework of the Great Migration, connecting Wright’s text not just to other literary texts, but situating it within an historical and cultural context vital to the novel’s creation and essential for its interpretation. The writing load for this course is a minimum of 15 pages of formal revised writing. This course satisfies an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; a Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement, and a WAC Writing Intensive requirement.

It has one the world’s largest economies and diverse populations and yet is also characterized by one of the worst distributions of wealth, political corruption and social marginalization. The course is divided by political regime and topics include the enduring importance of Brazil’s agricultural economies, slavery and abolition, transition from Empire to Republic, industrialization and urbanization, paternalism and patriarchy, immigration, ethnicity and race relations, religion, geographic diversity, regionalism and inequality.

Exploring the major themes of Brazilian history, the course helps students understand current economic, political and social contradictions. Prerequisite: one 100-level history course.
