torians. Emphasis is placed on the methods and skills of reading, analyzing, discussing, and writing history. Reading assignments expose students to a variety of current approaches to history. Writing assignments give students practice in the types of historical writing that are expected of them in upper-division history courses. History 200 is intended to be taken in the sophomore year or as soon as a History major is declared. At least one prior course in History is desirable but not required. Students minoring in History or majoring in other disciplines are also welcome.

224 russia Since 1861 The course covers Russian Imperial state and society; revolutionary move- ments; causes of 1905 and 1917 revolutions; Russian and Soviet political cultures; Soviet Union and totalitarianism; Russian and Soviet foreign policy; the collapse of communism and the Soviet em- pire; post-communist Russian society and politics. Offered every other year; offered Spring 2012. 230 the roots of english Society and Politics This course takes a chronological approach to the his- tory of England from the Roman period to the death of Elizabeth I, paying particular attention to polit- ical and social developments as well as the contributions of different peoples and their traditions to the making of England through the sixteenth century. Topics to be covered include Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and culture, the Norman Conquest and its contested legacy, the culture of the Anglo-Norman aristoc- racy, attempts to impose English rule and law on Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, the economic, social, and dynastic upheavals of the late medieval period, and new understandings of statecraft and religious authority under the Tudor monarchs. Offered occasionally; not offered 2011-2012.

231 Britain and Britishness: the development of national identity The course asks, “What does it mean to be British?” This query is examined by the definition and redefinition of British national identity between 1860 and 2000. The lectures and readings are designed to introduce British politi- cal, social, and cultural history between the mid Victorian period and the end of the 20th century. The course devotes special attention to the emergence of a specifically modern idea of the nation, a process that included defining “who belonged” to the British nation-state, who did not, and why. Inevitably, therefore, this course concentrates on the theory and practice of exclusion--demonstrat- ing how, for example, the poor, the female, and the non-white were acceptable as Imperial subjects but not as voting citizens. The course also examines how British imperialism and the monarchy helped to both strengthen and weaken the loyalty to the United Kingdom. Particular attention will be given to the place of Wales, Scotland and Ireland in the construction of British identity in the past 150 years. Offered frequently; offered Fall 2011.

245 Chinese Civilizations This course examines major themes in Chinese history from early times to the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties of the late imperial period. Topics to be covered include major political philosophies, the development of the imperial state, and encounters with foreign cultures. Satisfies the Humanistic Approaches core requirement.

246 History of China: 1600 to the Present This course examines major trends in Chinese history between 1600 and the early 1990s. Beginning with the fall of the Ming dynasty and the founding of the Qing dynasty, the first half of the course explores the political, economic, social, and cultural trends of the last imperial dynasty. The second half of the course examines 20th _{-century China, from}

the turbulent years of the Republican period to the events of Tiananmen Square and beyond. Satisfies the Humanistic Approaches core requirement. Offered every other year; not offered 2011-2012. 247 forging of the Japanese tradition This course examines the formative era of traditional Japanese civilization, from the development of the early Japanese state to the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate in the early 17th _{Century.

Satisfies the Connections core requirement.

101 roots of the Western experience This course serves as an introduction to the Western histori- cal traditions that trace their roots back to the earliest human settlements in the Near East approxi- mately six thousand years ago. The course takes a chronological and thematic approach to the history of Europe and its neighbors from the ancient world through the medieval and early modern periods, ending in the seventeenth century. The course focuses on identifying key social, political, economic, and religious attributes of each culture encountered in order to make meaningful comparisons be- tween various time periods and civilizations. To this end, the class considers a number of set themes throughout the semester, including changing models of political organization and rulership, concep- tions of individual rights and responsibilities, attitudes towards women and “outsiders,” and concep- tions of deities and divine power. Satisfies the Humanistic Approaches core requirement.

102 Western Civilization: 1650–1990 This course traces the development of the social, politi- cal, and intellectual forces that shaped modern Europe from the Ancient Regime to the present. Emphasis is placed on the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, the rise of nationalism, the impact of war on society, and the emergence of the ideologies of communism and fascism. The final part of the course focuses on developments in Western and Eastern Europe since 1945. Satisfies the Humanistic Approaches core requirement. Offered frequently; offered Fall 2011.

152 American experiences i: Origins to 1877 This course explores the experiences and values of America’s diverse peoples. Students in it not only expand their knowledge of events of American history but also deepen their understanding of the meaning of those events in people’s lives. Students learn how the social categories of race, gender, and class affected individual Americans’ identities and opportunities; how America’s natural environment shaped and was shaped by Americans’ human culture; and how Americans’ ideas and ideals both influenced and reflected their economic, politi- cal, and social institutions. To investigate these themes, students read writings by modern historians and analyze a wide variety of historical sources from the past. American Experiences I focuses on the period from European colonization through the end of Reconstruction. Satisfies the Humanistic Approaches core requirement.

153 American experiences ii: 1877-Present This course explores the experiences and values of America’s diverse peoples. Students in it not only expand their knowledge of the events of American history but also deepen their understanding of the meaning of those events in people’s lives. Students learn how the social categories of race, gender, and class affected individual Americans’ identities and opportunities; how Americans’ ideas and ideals both influenced and reflected their economic, political, and social institutions; and how Americans defined and re-defined national identity in the context of the nation’s changing role in the world. To investigate these themes, students read writ- ings by modern historians and analyze a wide variety of historical sources from the past. American Experiences II focuses on the period from the end of Reconstruction to the Present. Satisfies the Humanistic Approaches core requirement.

200 doing History: An introduction This course is designed to introduce prospective majors to the discipline and Department of History. In it, students learn what history is and how historians think and work. The course teaches students to do the two things that historians do: develop inter- pretations from primary sources and critically evaluate the interpretations advanced by other his-

to the eve of the High Middle Ages. Offered every other year; offered Fall 2011.

303 the High and Later middle Ages During the centuries between the first millennium and the beginning of the early modern period, European culture was repeatedly transformed as the frame- work was laid for modern conceptions of the state, law, family, and individual. This course explores the world of later medieval Europe through a focus on particular themes, including the relationship between secular and ecclesiastical power, ideal models of Christian society, gender roles within lay society and the medieval Church, and conceptions of sin and sanctity. Offered every other year; of- fered Spring 2012.

304 renaissance europe This course examines the great cultural revolution known as the Renaissance from a number of perspectives, considering new developments in the arts, political theory, historical awareness, concepts of the self, science, and technology as interrelated phenomena. The primary focus is on the towns of Northern Italy that served as the cradle of the Renaissance, but consideration is also given to the spread of Renaissance ideals and innovations into Northern Europe and the Americas in the course of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Offered every other year; not offered 2011-2012.

305 Women and Gender in Pre-modern europe Although men largely dominated the public sphere in pre-modern Europe, women left their mark on this world in a number of ways, as rulers and warriors, saints and visionaries, writers and artists. After a brief comparison of women’s and men’s roles in the Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian, and Germanic traditions, the course traces the evolution of conceptions of gender through the sixteenth century, with an emphasis on medieval and early modern Europe. The course also considers how factors such as social class, religion, age, and marital status interacted with gender to determine the experience of pre-modern women and men. Counts as a Gender Studies elective. Offered every other year; not offered 2011-2012.

307 the Crusades The military campaigns that comprised the Crusades lasted only two centuries, but their impact was far more lasting, and the post-medieval legacy of the Crusades continues to be a matter of debate. This course focuses on the European military expeditions to the Levant between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries, attempting to understand these events and their consequences from a number of perspectives. Because a main goal of the class is to reconstruct the worlds of the crusaders (the world they came from, as well as the world they made in the Levant), students also gain some familiarity with premodern European society, the history of the Holy Land, medieval Christianity and Islam, theories of holy war in each faith tradition, and the history of interfaith rela- tions. Students cannot receive credit for both HIST 115 and HIST 307. Offered every other year; not offered 2011-2012.

310 europe in the twentieth Century: 1914-1991 This course examines the impact of World War I, the Depression, and the rise of fascism. The experience and the results of World War II and the re- surgence of Europe in the post war period is assessed. Attention is given to the national history of the major powers in Eastern and Western Europe. Offered occasionally; not offered 2011-2012.

311 Age of reformation Modern people tend to think of the Reformation in strictly religious terms, as the movement that divided the medieval church into Catholic and Protestant camps. The scope of what are more properly termed Europe’s Reformations was, in fact, much broader: Luther’s initial attack on the Catholic Church in 1517 touched off a series of revolutions that divided states, rulers, and neighbors against one another and ultimately altered the balance of power across Europe. The teachings of both Protestant and Catholic reformers transformed civic life, introduced new models

History

traditions, aristocratic court life of the Heian period, and the literary and cultural complexity of the sometimes war-torn medieval era. Satisfies the Humanistic Approaches core requirement. Offered occasionally; not offered 2011-2012.

248 History of Japan: 1600 to Present Students examine Japanese history from the founding of the Tokugawa shogunate to the present. Topics include the development of the modern Japanese state, imperialism and war, and economic development. Satisfies the Humanistic Approaches core require- ment. Offered every other year; offered Spring 2012.

254 African American Voices - A Survey of African American History This course explores the historical experiences of African Americans in the United States from the colonial period to the pres- ent. The class studies the diversity of experiences that have constituted African American life, explor- ing the lives of individual African Americans, while also looking at the development and evolution of African American communities, and the interactions of African Americans with other Americans. Because racism has played such a significant role in shaping African American lives, students also explore the construction of the concept of “race,” the interrelationship of the political, cultural, so- cial, and intellectual forces that have given meaning to that concept, and the ways African Americans have responded to it across time. The course texts include not only the writings of contemporary historians, but also the historical writings, speeches, and artistic productions of African Americans, with particular emphasis on autobiographies. Satisfies the Humanistic Approaches core requirement. Offered frequently; not offered 2011-2012.

280 Colonial Latin America This course is a survey of the early period of Latin American history, from 1492 to 1826. It begins with an overview of the European background and the major indigenous civilizations in what Europeans came to call the New World. The central focus is on the encounter of indigenous and Iberian cultures and the process of conquest, resistance and mutual transforma- tion that ensued over the next three centuries. Attention is also given to the social and economic structures and institutions of the colonies themselves, the development in some regions of planta- tion economies using slave labor from Africa, and the evolving relationship of Spanish America and Brazil to Europe, culminating in the wars of Independence. Satisfies the Humanistic Approaches core requirement. Offered every other year; not offered 2011-2012.

281 modern Latin America Beginning with the transition from colonies to independent nations and ending with the political transitions and implementation of neo-liberal policies in the 1990s, this course considers the Latin American region from the perspective of its subordinate incorporation into the world economy, its struggles for democratic institutions and equitable development, and the
