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.

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. This course will look at the history of East Asia in regional and global contexts. Students will build a foundation by learning about the formative era of Chinese history in the first millennium BCE, focusing on the creation of Confucianism and the imperial system. They will follow East Asia’s emergence as a distinct historical region comprising China, Korea, and Japan, and the ties these countries maintained among themselves and with the rest of Asia. As they enter the early modern era, students will focus on connections between East Asia and the world, such as the silver economy. The class will conclude by looking at East Asia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with a special emphasis on global historical themes of colonialism and industrialization. Through this class, students will learn to analyze changes and continuities over long periods of time. They will also learn to frame historical events in their local specificity as well as in their common humanity.

This course examines how seemingly impersonal forces are historically associated with personal changes for women and the family across the Americas. We will analyze how women and the family intersected with the economy, politics, and society. A comparative approach allows for consideration of national circumstances and social norms regarding race, ethnicity, and class. Examining the history or women and the family throughout the Americas also highlights similarities and differences within the reciprocal relationship between private lives and public policy. Topics include working women and the family economy, slavery, political rights and protective legislature, social movements, youth culture and immigration. Understanding the history of women and the family helps explain current contentions over women’s roles and modern family structure.

Humans are part of nature, and yet they have always changed and manipulated it. This course examines the entangled story of human/nature interactions, from the early history of our species up into the twenty-first century. Doing this draws on a range of methods, tools, and skills, including archaeology and anthropology, physical sciences like geology and biology, and the close reading of texts and objects as developed in humanistic disciplines like English, philosophy, and history. Key topics may include the co-evolution of people and other species; the ways that world religions have understood nature; the global mingling of people, plants, animals, and microbes after 1492; responses to pollution and toxicity in the modern world; and the development and politicization of climate science in the 20th-21st centuries.

The subject matter of this course will vary from year to year and will focus on a specific historical period or event and/or particular methodological approach(es) to doing history. It will not duplicate existing courses in U.S. history. Students will be asked not only to employ evidence in support of historical interpretations but also to think critically about the relationship between varying types of evidence, to engage in prevalent debates within fields of historical scholarship, and to evaluate historical questions themselves for their utility and manageability.

This course examines the causes and consequences of urban development in Latin America, where two of the ten largest cities in the world are located. Beginning with the colonial city that served as a political and religious center, the course explores the evolution of the Latin American city through nation-state formation, twentieth-century modernization projects, and up to contemporary megacities. The course considers the history of urbanization in Latin America as both an official project and a lived experience. Major themes such as market development, class conflict, labor and workers’ movements, migrations, gendered spaces, public health and social control, built environments, and urban culture are considered in a comparative framework. Prerequisites: One 100-level history course

Writing to learn
Introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of Latin American Studies as well as the individuals, cultures, histories, politics, economics, and geographies that distinguish the region and its nations. Students learn different disciplinary approaches to analyzing Latin America (e.g. art history, political science, literature, sociology, and history) through course content, readings, and instruction as the course is rotated among affiliated faculty each semester offered. The interdisciplinary framework provides a number of different ways to think about Latin American society and challenges us to recognize the linkages and tensions that define the region, explored through topics such as social and economic variations, democracy and dictatorship, slavery and race relations, urban and rural societies, (im)migrations, gender and sexuality, citizenship and resistance, popular culture, and the Church and social justice. Exploring the major themes and disciplinary studies of Latin America help us integrate ideas about the region and its communities.
