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 is a study of ancient Greek social structures, political processes, culture, beliefs, and moral values, from the Mycenaean society in the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic world of Alexander's legacy. The objective is to learn about major social, political, economic, and cultural change over time in the Greek world, with regard to the wider context of the surrounding cultures. We examine textual and material evidence in order to learn about the nature, value, and explication of primary sources and about historical, archaeological and anthropological methods of inquiry and analysis. Overall, we seek to understand the historic roots of modern issues and the relevance of past experiences, while keeping abreast of recent research and current scholarly debate.

Italy during the 14th-16th centuries is widely seen as undergoing a Renaissance, a "rebirth." But what was re-born, and why? Was the Renaissance a period of modernity, of individualism, and of new relationships with history, politics, God, the body, and the self? Once we examine the primary sources of this period carefully - its books and letters, its paintings and buildings - how does it seem to us? modern or medieval? Radical or traditionalist? Forward or backward looking? In sum, what was the Italian Renaissance, and what does it have to do with us today?

Japan has one of the most unusual historical arcs of any modern nation. In less than 100 years, this small island nation shocked the United States and Europe by building one of the largest military empires in world history, suffered catastrophic defeat and atomic destruction in World War II, and then turned around and rebuilt so rapidly and so impressively that many called it an “economic miracle.” Today Japan is again a global power, and its culture is everywhere: sushi, Nintendo, anime, Godzilla, manga, Pokemon, and samurai are all household words around the globe. HIST 395 looks at the complex history behind this seemingly simple narrative, exploring how neither Japan’s fall nor its rise were straightforward or inevitable. Complication, conflict, and contingency marked every step on its remarkable path.

How have guns come to permeate American identity, culture, and society? Why do some Americans see guns as a tool of safety, while others see them as an object of danger? How and why have these views changed over the course of American history? The goal of this course is to explore the historical, political, legal, and cultural perspectives that can help make sense of the contemporary significance of guns in the United States. It traces both continuity and change in gun culture and gun law from the colonial period to the present to unravel the relationship between gun rights and gun rules; between crime and self-defense; and between the past and present politics of guns.
