of issues will be explored: What is the place of
documentary within American society, as
information and as entertainment? And why are
we so attracted to it? How close to “reality” can
visual media come? How does documentary
compare with non-documentary film in its
effort to represent American culture and
history?
0127. Media and American Popular Culture
(3 s.h.) SS.
This course will explore the role of media in the
development of American popular culture, with
particular emphasis on the cultural transformations brought about by mass media after 1880.
Historical analysis will demonstrate the
profound shift in media roles within the past
century; from media expressions of popular
culture before 1889, to media as generators of
popular culture after that point. A by-product of
this analysis will be the formulation of a critical
definition of mass media in terms of a specific
relationship between the media and the
audience.
0128. Philadelphia Neighborhoods (3 s.h.) F S.
Cross Listed with Geography and Urban Studies
0065.
Students will be introduced to the development
of the city of Philadelphia as seen from a
neighborhood perspective. From Colonial times
to the present, neighborhood and community
are the primary means by which the city’s
residents experienced the growth and change of
the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Using
archival resources over the World Wide Web, as
well as the rich historical legacy of the region’s
museums, students will explore the development of the city’s neighborhoods.
0130. Architecture, Urban Design, and
American Culture (3 s.h.)
An exploration of ways U.S. cities have been

paying special attention to the leading
movements and theories concerning the growth
and design of urban space. Readings are from
topics such as: Olmsted and the park
movement; the city beautiful movement; the
modern city and the skyscraper; Lewis
Mumford and the garden city movement; the
organic city of Jane Jacobs; the postmodern city
of Robert Venturi; the dystopian city. In
addition to studying the literature of cities, the
class explores Philadelphia as a case study, with
students developing techniques of observation
and analysis, in an effort to understand the city
of Philadelphia within the broader framework of
thinking about American cities.
0131/H196. American Frontiers (3 s.h.)
Reexamined from the perspective of the late
20th century, the American frontier becomes
contested terrain between diverse groups of
settlers and natives. With a geographic focus on
America west of the Mississippi, this course
looks at elements that were used to construct
the myth of the frontier and the many elements
that were left out. It incorporates EuroAmerican women, and persons of Latin
American heritage, Asians, African Americans,
and especially Native Americans into the story
of the frontier of the 19th century and the west
of the 20th.
0133. American Culture Abroad: Japan
(3 s.h.)
Cross Listed with Anthropology 0272 and Asian
Studies 0255.
In this course we will examine versions and
varieties of American life that have become a
part of Japanese society and culture. We have
seen a tremendous curiosity for “things
American” in Japanese daily life—but how has
American culture taken shape in Japan? What
kinds of transformations, reformulations and reinventions have taken place? We will review
Japanese adoptions and adaptations of language,
“American” settings, architecture and design,
foods and restaurants, clothing and fashions,
popular films, television and advertising, and
even holidays. Students will review and
critically evaluate such films as: The Japanese
Version, Mr. Baseball, Black Rain, The
Barbarian and the Geisha, Tokyo Pop, The
Colonel Comes to Japan.
R134/H134. The Literature of American
Slavery (3 s.h.) F. Core: RS.
Slaves, slave owners, and abolitionists, men and
women, perceived slavery in distinctive ways
and recorded those perceptions in songs and
poems, folk tales, autobiographical narratives
and novels, speeches and tracts, travel accounts,
journals, diaries, and letters. Through an
examination of this rich oral and written
literature, themes such as the character of slave
culture, the relations between slaves and
masters, the oppression of women under
slavery, and the connection between
abolitionism and feminism are explored.
Lectures provide historical background and a
context in which to read the selections.

with the experiences of Asian-American
immigrants and their communities today.
0137. Italian American Literature and Culture
(3 s.h.)
This course will explore Italian American
literature and culture, from the earliest memoirs
of Italian immigrants passing through Ellis
Island to the popular work of Mario Puzo to the
post-modern best sellers of Don De Lillo.
Several questions will be asked: How have the
various generations evolved literary forms that
reflect their experiences? How has the Italian
language been represented and how has it
interacted with mainstream American speech?
How have traditions of family and work been
embodied in narrative discourse and in the
ongoing issues of Italian American life?
0138. Historic Preservation in Philadelphia
(3 s.h.) S.
This course uses Philadelphia as a case study to
show how history can be read from the fabric of
a city and why and how we go about preserving
these buildings and structures. We will trace
Philadelphia history from the counting houses
and markets of the Colonial period through the
factories of the 19th century, up to the
automobile-oriented architecture of today.
Students will become familiar with the battles
to save our built history with the use of tax
credits, easements, and the historic registers.
Note: The class may include several walking tours
of Philadelphia.
0140/W140/H190. Radicalism in the United
States (3 s.h.) F. Core: W140: WI.

war as well as individual needs and
adventurism, Asians have migrated from their
homelands to new regions of the world. This
course focuses on Asians in U.S. society
through comparison with their reception into
other societies. In considering Asian diasporas,
familiar terms such as Asia, American,
Community, and Nation are called into question
by the multiplicity of experiences and identities
of those who have ventured out from Eastern
regions of the globe.

of visual communication, but it is also useful
for Sociology, FMA, and Mass Communication
majors. Course consists of required readings,
screenings, and active class participation. No
exams. Students keep a journal and write
several short papers.
Mode: Lecture/Seminar.
0161. Human Paleontology (3 s.h.) F SS.
Designed to familiarize students with both
theoretical and methodological frameworks for
interpreting the human fossil record with a
review of the synthetic theory of evolution,
socio-biological concepts, and procedures in
taxonomy and phylogenetic reconstruction.
Attention given to the origin of the human
lineage and what the fossils of that lineage tell
us about the evolution of anatomical systems
that are peculiar to humans.
Mode: Lecture/Seminar.
0162. Human Biology of Modern Populations
(3 s.h.) S.
An investigation of how physical anthropologists approach the study of living human
populations. The use and aplication of the
“adaptation” concept is critically evaluated.
Students are introduced to basic concepts in
evolutionary developmental biology, and to the
way this approach has been applied to
understanding modern human biological
variation. Finally, non-genetic causes of
variation are explored among populations
exposed to environmental stress during growth
and development.
Mode: Lecture/Seminar.
0163. Human Population Genetics (3 s.h.) F.
This course is designed to acquaint the
undergraduate major in Anthropology
(especially those in the Human Biology
specialization) with the fundamental concepts
of population genetics with particular relevance
to human genetics. Although the course, as
indicated, has a particular emphasis on genetics,
the influence of environmental effects will be
especially appreciated in this course, as the
impact of culture is so dramatic, even with
respect to human genetic evolution.
Mode: Lecture/Seminar.
0164. Primate Behavior (3 s.h.)
This course has three broad objectives: (1) to
describe in detail the geographic distribution,
ecology, physiology, life-ways and social
behavior of our non-human cousins, (2) to
provide the theoretical foundations from which
to interpret non-human primate life-ways and
behavior, and (3) to discuss the application and
limitations of an evolutionary perspective on
behavior to human behavior. We will routinely
distinguish between the proximate causes of
behavior (e.g., physiological mechanisms) and
the ultimate or evolutionary causes of behavior
(e.g., the impact of behavior on reproductive
success). Students will be introduced to the
non-invasive, observational methods by which
primatologists investigate primate behavior.
Mode: Lecture/Seminar.
0169. South American Archaeology (3 s.h.) F.
A survey of prehistoric cultures of South
America. Concentrates on (1) the initial entry
and spread of human populations into South
America and the West Indies, (2) origins of
tropical and highland agriculture, (3) the rise of
urbanism, civilization, and the state in the
Andes, and (4) the impact of prehistoric
cultures on the environment.
Mode: Lecture/Seminar.
Anthropology
0172. Archaeology of North America (3 s.h.) S.
This course surveys the cultural development of
native peoples from the time of the initial
colonization of North America to the historic
period. The cultural diversity seen across the
continent at any given point in time is dramatic
and difficult to cover in detail within the scope
of a single course. Common and contrasting
themes in development are stressed and
information is organized by cultural/geographic
regions or “areas,” and chronological periods.
The emphasis of the course is on the peoples
found north of Mexico.
Mode: Lecture/Seminar.
0182. Folklore and Culture (3 s.h.) SS.
This course investigates the cultural attributes,
aspects, and functionings of folklore. Folklore is
considered both as its own field and as a part of
anthropology. The methods and theories of the
field will be discussed. Special emphasis is
placed on folktales, material culture (including
folk-art), food ways, and the theoretical
connections between folkloristics and the
approaches of popular and mass culture studies.
Ethnicities and regional subcultures will also be
approached through our understanding of
folklore and culture.
Mode: Lecture/Seminar.
0205. Heritage Management in Archaeology
(3 s.h.) S.
The United States and other governments of the
world have legal mandates to manage cultural
resources on behalf of the public. This course
focuses on the archaeological component of
cultural resources management in the United
States and its linkage with environmental and
developmental planning. Participants are given
a working knowledge of how the system works,
and how to work within it as a professional
through a series of readings, classroom
discussions, and hands-on exercises. Topic
coverage includes: relevant legislation; the
phased approach to archaeological and
historical research; state and federal review
procedures; proposal writing; interacting with
clients, native peoples, and the public;
professional ethics and standards. The nature of
heritage management in other countries is
considered for comparative purposes and as a
way of illuminating the historical, socioeconomic, and legal factors that have shaped the
practice in the United States.
Note: This course helps to satisfy topical
requirements in the Anthropology major and the
Environmental Studies major. Mode: Seminar.
0210. The Anthropology of Tourism (3 s.h.) F.
Tourism, one of the largest industries in today’s
world and an experience shared by many, is
analyzed from historical, theoretical, and
ethnographic perspectives. The first half of the
course examines the development of tourism
from travel, the relationship between capitalism,
modernity, and tourism, and anthropological
interpretations of tourism. The second half of
the course is devoted to specific case studies of
tourism, including different kinds of tourism
(e.g., ecological, sex, adventure, cultural),
World’s Fairs and theme parks, historic cities
packaged for tourists (Venice, Kyoto,
Williamsburg), tourism and representation, and
the material culture of tourism.
Mode: Seminar.
0211. Anthropology and Culture Change
(3 s.h.) F.
This course will examine change at the
individual and group levels in various cultural
contexts. What are the transformations that
occur during rites of passage? Can we apply this
same model to explain seasonal and calendrical
changes? Who and what are the carriers of
social change? Where have anthropologists
focused on to study change? We will explore
various kinds of change, especially those
brought by migration, colonialism, nationalism,
and global capitalism, by focusing on individual
and groups levels, by examining material
culture as well as rituals and narratives, and by
looking at official and unofficial practices.
Ultimately, we will ponder on the larger
frameworks of value that make certain forms of
change possible and explore their logic within a
local politics of culture. Some of the topics we
will discuss relate to the performance of
individual and communal ethnic, race, gender,
and class identities; vernacular religious change
from rural to urban spaces; the commodification of “ethnic” arts and crafts; the body and
house as sites that embody change; and the
transformations of food, music and dance in
traditional festivals and processions when they
cross national borders. One of the goals is to
theorize the effects of the global village as well
as multiculturalism and identity politics and the
effects on practice and the relation between
agency and structuration.
Mode: Seminar.
0212. Medical Anthropology (3 s.h.) F S.
An integration of the cultural and biological
perspectives on health, disease, and therapies
developed from the anthropological study of
human diversity. Evolving patterns of birth,
disease, and death; the effects of modernization
on health; cross-cultural variations in
definitions of illness and therapies; and
conflicts between health care systems.
Mode: Seminar.
0213. Topics in Cultural Anthropology (3 s.h.)
F S.
A variable topic course on issues and problems
that are particularly salient in contemporary
anthropology.
Mode: Seminar.
0215. Anthropology and Social Policy
(3 s.h.) F.
An examination of the place of anthropology
within the policy community. The course also
examines the development of the applied work
within the history of anthropology, its changing
meaning and changing clout within the
discipline as “practicing anthropology” has been
institutionalized in the last three decades. We
will evaluate the efficacy of different types of
work for progressive social change and examine
the possibilities of how to make anthropological
research matter more in relation to major public
issues.
Mode: Seminar.
0220. Environmental Physiology (3 s.h.) S.
Prerequisite: Anthropology 0125.
A survey of physiological and biochemical
variability in human populations examined as a
function of environmental adaptation. Emphasis
on the responses of different populations to
discernible environmental stresses.
Mode: Seminar.
0221. Peasant Societies (3 s.h.) S.
This course will examine the growing
importance of peasant studies for the
development of anthropology. The political
economy and social structures of peasantries
cannot be understood, either historically or in
their contemporary forms, in isolation from one
another, the nation-states of which they form a
part, and a basic understanding of certain
elements of global political economy. Thus,
peasants will be studied in the context of their
articulation with broader social systems into
which they are incorporated.
Mode: Seminar.
0224. Anthropology and Art (3 s.h.) F S.
This course examines the anthropology of art
and “artworlds.” While its emphasis is on nonwestern art, it maintains a comparative stance
between unfamiliar and familiar visual
traditions. Thus, by implication it raises
questions about western arts and their cultural
contexts. Specific topics and cultures vary
according to the interests and expertise of the
instructor. Topics can include comparative
aesthetics, authenticity and “primitiveness,” the
commodification of art, tourist art, gender in
the production and consumption of art, the
influence of non-Western art objects and
performances on European and North American
cultures, conceptual systems and modes of
viewing, the circumstance of encounter with
objects, the modes of production and how
objects are shared and valued, both in the
culture in which they are initially made and in
the culture they may be in now. Cultural
contexts may include people and art from
Aboriginal Australia, Africa, India, Indonesia,
Japan, and Native America.
Mode: Seminar.
0225. Political Anthropology: Traditional
Societies and Modern States (3 s.h.) S.
This course will examine the rise of political
anthropology as a specialized field, in relation
both to others within anthropology, as well as to
the social sciences generally. This perspective
will be achieved by a critical reading of some of
the classical texts in the field in the light of
recent developments in the relation between
political economy and anthropology. Among the
issues addressed will be: the nature of politics
and under-development and the articulation of
modes of production and social formation.
Mode: Seminar.
0226. Religion in Non-Western Cultures
(3 s.h.) F S. $.
This course on religion in non-western cultures
introduces some of the major themes, methods,
and intellectual traditions of the study of
religion in anthropology. Considered as a
comparative study of religious practice, this
course seeks to understand thought and
behavior in worship, iconography, pilgrimage,
domestic and congregational performance,
mythology and cosmology, trance, dance,
sacrifice, ritual experience and other
dimensions of religious life as well as the way
that these facets of religious culture interrelate.
The study of religion in a historically complex
circumstance will provide the means to examine
the processes of accommodation and tension
that exist in a multi-religious environment.
Mode: Lecture/Seminar.
0228. Comparative Social Organization
(3 s.h.) F.
An introduction to the various social categories
and groups found in human societies including:
variation in marriage and the family, the role of
kinship in establishing spatial and temporal
links among human beings, age groups, castes,
and class.
Mode: Seminar.
0233. Anthropological Film (3 s.h.) F SS.
A review of major films styles useful for
anthropological film and video in conjunction
with an analysis of the role of film/video in
anthropology. Topics will include relationships
of anthropological and ethnographic films, the
significance of historical and ideological
contexts, values of research “footage” vs.
“film,” comparisons to indigenous video and
feature films, and problems in the communication of anthropological theory and insight
through film and video media. A broad range of
ethnographic films will be screened to illustrate
a progression of work and variety in relationships of theory, subject matter, cultural context,
production techniques and style, and projected
audiences.
Mode: Seminar.
0234. Anthropology in Feature Films (3 s.h.) F.
Students will critically review a series of feature
films that include topics, themes, and subject
matter often treated within anthropology and
related human sciences. It is clear that
American feature films usually thought of as
“Hollywood films” can be very influential in
establishing or reinforcing social and cultural
stereotypes of ‘states of knowledge’ about
peoples living in various parts of the world.
Viewership of these materials, either as films
shown in movie theaters or as their videotape
counterparts seen on home television screens,
certainly exceeds the size of audiences in
introductory anthropology courses in the U.S.
The potential for influence and false senses of
familiarity is enormous.

is the question of the relationship of the
individual (and society) to the natural
environment. This course addresses this latter
question. Issues of environmental ethics will
constantly be lurking behind the scenes even
when not directly at issue. A dominant theme
will be the concept of nature itself. It has
undergone some amazing changes during its
remarkable history, and these will be explored
especially from the point of view of recent
feminist thinking.
0177. U.S. Environmental History (3 s.h.)
Cross Listed with History 0177.
This course is intended as an introduction to the
new field of environmental history, which
studies the changing relationships between
human beings and the natural world through
time. It assumes no background or deeply
developed interest in American history,
geography, or environmental studies. It presents
a general survey for students imagining careers
in fields as diverse as law and tourism,
communications and chemistry. Our central
premise throughout will be that much of the
familiar terrain of American history looks very
different when seen in its environmental
context, and that one can learn a great deal
about both history and the environment by
studying the two together. We will be
approaching American environmental history
from at least three different angles. First, we
will ask how various human activities have
historically depended on and interacted with the
natural world. Second, we will trace the shifting
attitudes toward nature held by different
Americans during various periods of their
nation’s history. Finally, we will ask how human
attitudes and activities have worked together to
reshape the American landscape. At the same
time, we will be tracing the evolution of
environmental politics in the United States, so
that the course is also a history of conservation
and environmentalism in our nation’s political
life.
0205. Heritage Management in Archaeology
(3 s.h.) S.
Cross Listed with Anthropology 0205.
The United States and other governments of the
world have legal mandates to manage cultural
resources on behalf of the public. This course
focuses on the archaeological component of
cultural resources management in the United
States and its linkage with environmental and
developmental planning. Participants are given
a working knowledge of how the system works,
and how to work within it as a professional
through a series of readings, classroom
discussions, and hands-on exercises. Topic
coverage includes: relevant legislation; the
phased approach to archaeological and
historical research; state and federal review
procedures; proposal writing; interacting with
clients, native peoples, and the public;
professional ethics and standards. The nature of
heritage management in other countries is
considered for comparative purposes and as a
way of illuminating the historical, socioeconomic, and legal factors that have shaped the
practice in the United States.

LOWER DIVISION COURSES
C060. Third World History (3 s.h.) SS.
Core: IS.
Third World History offers a form of global
history since 1500 that focuses upon the Third
World, approximately three-quarters of the
world’s population whose experience has been
powerfully shaped by colonialism and
imperialism as well as by resistance to these
forces. The historical issues raised in the course
constitute some of the most fundamental
elements shaping the present-day world as well
as the immediate future. Particular attention is
given to the 20th century. Assignments in the
course are concerned with both historical issues
and with the development of student analytical
and writing skills.
Note: This course fulfills the Core non-Western
International Studies requirement.
History
C061. World History Ancient (3 s.h.) Core: IS.
This course deals with the emergence and
diffusion of civilizations and their interactions
with each other as well as with the environment
from the beginning of time until c. 1500 C.E.
Equal weight is given to the civilizations of
Africa, Eurasia, and the Americas.
C062. World History Modern (3 s.h.) Core: IS.
Over the last 500 years, the world has become
an intensely interwoven and interdependent
place. While the world has been made
considerably more unequal and conflictive, it
has also become potentially more subject to
being influenced by the mass actions of
ordinary people. We will examine the global
forces that have made this happen, looking at
some “facts” but mostly paying attention to
relationships among areas of the world, among
types of historical factors, among varieties of
people, and among periods of time. Four focal
points will guide the course across the semester:
1) the material basis of life; 2) the organization
and maintenance of human communities; 3) the
impact of science and technology; and 4) the
operations of the international relations system.
Note: The course fulfills the non-Western
International Studies requirement of the Temple
University core curriculum.
C063/H091. War and Society (3 s.h.) Core: IS.
This course explores history through the prism
of wars, their origins and consequences—with a
focus on social, economic, technological, and
cultural changes and their correlations with the
nature of warfare. Various incarnations of the
course examine virtually all regions of the
globe, over time periods ranging from the
prehistoric to the contemporary.
C065/H095. Gender and History (3 s.h.) SS.
Core: IS.
This course will introduce you to the history of
feminine and masculine roles from a
comparative international perspective. It will
cover basic facts, concepts, and themes relating
to six topics: The state, the sacred, work, the
family, the body, and modern social movements
(feminism, women’s suffrage, pacifism, and
socialism), using as case studies Ancient
Greece, Medieval Europe, West Africa, Modern
Europe, and the United States.
C066. Modern Europe (3 s.h.) SS. Core: IS.
This core course focuses on major
developments in Europe in the 19th and 20th
centuries. Those were momentous times during
which the modern state system was created,
economies industrialized, societies urbanized,
too many and too disastrous wars were fought,
and governments expanded and evolved, often
through revolutionary experiences. And of
course there were immense advances in science
and technology, which quite literally changed
the whole world causing a mental
transformation of incredible dimension,
affecting all aspects of life, thinking and culture.
C067/H097. U.S. History to 1877 (3 s.h.) SS.
Core: AC.
As it examines the revolutionary and early
national periods (1776-1830’s), this course will
help you understand the origins of
republicanism, democracy, the presidency, and
American political culture in general. Such
concepts as republicanism, democracy, and
liberty are often assumed to have universally
accepted definitions, but it is essential to
understand the conditions of the late 18th and
early 19th centuries that gave these concepts a
specifically American caste and molded the
unique pattern of American political
development. Analysis of the institution of
slavery and its role in the coming of the Civil
War will lead to a clearer understanding of the
history of American Blacks during this period
and of the historical development of race
relations in this country. In addition, the course
will also pay considerable attention to American
society as a whole throughout the period,
examining such phenomena as urbanization and
assessing how wealth and power were
distributed at various points in American
development. In this connection the status and
activities of women will receive detailed
analysis to draw some conclusions about the
historical role of American women.
C068/H098. U.S. History since 1877 (3 s.h.) SS.
Core: AC.
This is a general survey course of the main
currents in American history since 1877. Since
the 1870’s we have witnessed major transformations in the makeup of American society
and culture. Thus, the history of this era is a
story of capital development and economic
crises, labor unrest, social class formation,
urbanization, militarization, regional diversification, and cultural innovations. During this
century the political and economic status of
women and minorities changed significantly.
This course will focus on many of the
traditional themes usually covered in a general
survey. But, it will also concentrate on the
individual and collective struggles of ethnic
groups, African-Americans, and women to
make America live up to the promises of peace,
justice, dignity, and freedom for all.
UPPER DIVISION COURSES
0100. Introduction to History (3 s.h.)
Introduction to History offers students from all
fields of study a broad view of the issues and
methods that comprise historical study at the
start of the 21st century. As an intermediate
level course, this class will develop analytical
skills in the identification and comprehension of
historical arguments and sharpen writing and
research skills. The course instructor will guide
students in the use of traditional primary
sources as well as electronic databases and the
world wide web. Guest professors will acquaint
students with the diverse fields and concerns of
History.
0102. Peace, Conflict, and Social Change
(3 s.h.)
This course addresses the question of
conflict/violence from domestic, local, national,
and international perspectives using particular
case studies. Introductory material includes a
general discussion showing case studies of
violence and conflict resolution at these various
levels. The course also incorporates some
discussion of human rights plus theoretical and
pragmatic alternatives to violence. It also
considers a number of key themes: the family,
racial conflict, economic and political violence.
In the final weeks of the semester, students are
encouraged to consider options for the peaceful
resolution of case studies discussed during the
semester.
0103/H193. World Economy Since 1945 (3 s.h.)
At the turn of the millennium, economic
globalization is profoundly transforming many
long-standing patterns of human existence.
Public discussion about globalization,
nevertheless, remains often shallow and
misleading. This course aims to offer a deeper
perspective on the present by examining the
experience of the world economy over the
formative period since World War II. It
concentrates on two basic questions: 1) How did
the domestic and global foundations of the
current world economy come into being over
the last half century? And 2) What are the
implications of this historical process for our
immediate and future lives? As an intermediate
level course, the World Economy Since 1945 it
assumes no prior student backgrounds in either
history or economics—only a lively interest in
learning about broad historical trends and in
developing intellectual skills. In addition to
discussion, lecture, and common readings,
methods of instruction in the course include use
of a computer-assisted classroom to provide
image and text projections, video clips, and
internet linkages.
0104. Nationalism and Revolution (3 s.h.)
Beginning with the establishment of civil and
political rights during the French Revolution,
the course will address the relationship of the
individual to the nation-state in Western Europe
from the French Revolution to World War I. The
course will include problematical issues that
emerged during this period such as: the
Napoleonic wars and the emergence of the
modern nation-state; the development of the
industrial revolution and its socio-economic
impact on members of the working and middle
classes; the consolidation of the nation-state and
its impact on personal and political freedom.
But in addition to considering the expansion of
liberal political developments in the West, the
course will consider the effects of imperialism
on Asian and African countries during the final
decades of the century. The final unit will
consider how nationalism and imperialism
contributed to the outbreak of the First World
War and to the breakdown of old political states
and traditional values in the Western societies.
0105. Love, Marriage, and Family (3 s.h.)
It is easy to assume that love, marriage, and
family go together; but this has not always been
the case. These concepts have a history. This
course is a comparative examination of love,
marriage, and family and the related themes of
gender and sexuality in different historical
periods and geographical areas. It includes
ancient, medieval, and modern texts and
materials and covers both western (European
and American) and non-western (Asia, Africa,
and perhaps Middle Eastern and Latin
American) case studies.
Note: Each instructor may place a different
emphasis among those topics and regions.
0106. World War I (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0151.)
In 1914 the major powers of Europe went to
war and things were never the same again. The
war was expected to be a short one but it lasted
more than four years, killing millions,
destroying economies, overthrowing empires,
and setting the stage for a second war that was,
if possible, even more terrible than the first. The
course will analyze what led to this war, how it
was fought and experienced, its mental and
material impact, its end and its legacies.
0107. World War II (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0152.)
This course is a global survey of the Second
World War, from its origins in the 1930s to its
horrifying conclusion in 1945. “World War
Two” is an intermediate course, which will
address broad historical themes and
interpretations and will require students to read
a number of important secondary works in the
field. However, as a survey, it will also serve as
an excellent introduction to the subject for
students with an interest, but little prior
knowledge of the Second World War.
R109. Imperialism, Race, and Empire (3 s.h.)
Core: RS.
This course introduces key themes and issues
central to an understanding of race in modern
history. Examining the intersection of race and
imperialism-empire over the last two centuries,
it places special importance on: how ideas about
race were profoundly affected by the colonial
encounter; how rationalizations for imperialism
have often depended on race; and the resistance
of subordinated people to racialist discourses
and forms of rule.
0110. African Diaspora (3 s.h.)
This course deals with the history of the African
Diaspora in the Americas for the last five
hundred years. How this African presence
impacted upon the social, economic, cultural,
religious, and demographic set-up of the
Americas will be addressed. Themes like panAfrican nationalism and racial discourse will
also be discussed.
0111. Asian Diaspora (3 s.h.)
Spurred by pressures of colonialism, economic
change, nationalism, political repression and
war as well as individual needs and
adventurism, Asians have migrated from their
homelands to new regions of the world within
Asia as well as in Africa, Caribbean, and Latin
America, North America, and Europe. In
considering the Diaspora, familiar terms such as
Asian, American, Community, and Nation are
called into question by the multiplicity of
experiences and identities of those who have
ventured out from Eastern regions of the globe.
This course examines the social experiences and
cultural productions of Chinese, Japanese, and
Filipinos who have journeyed to far flung lands
and the terms that can be employed to analyze
their experiences and culture.
0112. Jewish Diaspora (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0155.)
Jewish history from the destruction of the
Second Jewish Commonwealth to the creation
of the State of Israel. Focus on minority status,
migration, persecution, economic adaptation,
gender roles in different environments,
acculturation and identity. Will include the
medieval Jewish experience under both
Christian and Islamic rule; the development of
Jewish communities in Eastern Europe, Western
Europe, and the United States; the changing
role of Jewish women; the rise of Zionism; and
the Holocaust.
0113. Third World Issues through Film (3 s.h.)
Films bring alive the texture of society and the
context of ideas, events, lives, and conflicts in a
way that standard textbooks and readings
cannot. This survey course introduces repeating,
powerful, and important themes in modem
history through the study of issues raised in
Asian, African, and Latin American cinema.
Unit I presents issues of Colonialism,
Nationalism, and Independence Movements.
Unit II, Post-Colonial Themes, includes nation
building, neocolonialism, and responses to
neocolonialism as well as issues of cultural
reconstruction, political leadership, class,
gender, race, and ethnicity in post-independence
eras. Written texts complement the films; class
discussion and assignments focus on analysis of
the characters, events, institutions, and ideas
represented in the films and readings.
0115. Introduction to East Asia: China (3 s.h.)
Overview from ancient times to the present.
Designed to provide students with a basic
understanding of major themes and broad
processes of social change in Chinese history.
Emphasizes those aspects of continuity and
change that are particularly relevant to
contemporary China. Topics include: state
formation; the development of characteristic
institutions, thought, and cultural practices; long
term trends in social dynamics and the
economy; imperialism and semi colonialism;
revolutionary transformation in the early 20th
century; the Maoist road to socialism after
1949; and the post-socialist trajectory of the
past two decades and its critique. Course
materials include films, primary documents,
and literature.
0116. Introduction to East Asia: Japan (3 s.h.)
This introductory course surveys Japan’s
evolution from an isolated island kingdom in
ancient times to a world power in the 20th
century with a focus on continuity and change
in religion, government, and family life. Topics
include birth of the early state, myths, and
civilization; aristocratic high culture; rise of the
warrior class; the modern transformation into
urban, industrial nation-state; and World War II.
The course emphasizes continuity and change
through the interpretation of primary documents
in translation.
0117. Introduction to Southeast Asia: Insular
(3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0130.)
This course covers the histories of the
Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore
from the 16th century until modern times. It
will introduce students to the island worlds of
Southeast Asia, its peoples, their histories,
societies, and economies. To familiarize
students with non-Western worlds, lectures will
be illustrated with videotapes, slides, and
transparencies. Excerpts of articles and
indigenous documents will also be used for
discussion. Course work will include readings,
discussions, examinations, and book reviews.
History
0118. Introduction to Southeast Asia:
Mainland (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0129.)
This course covers the histories of Burma,
Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, from
the 16th century until modern times. It is a
course designed to introduce students to the
analysis of such forces as religion, statecraft,
ideology, and trade, and the manner in which
they have shaped the mainland countries of
Southeast Asia. Mainland Southeast Asia’s role
in world politics and economy will also be
analyzed. Reference will be made to
contemporary events taking place in the region,
and students will be encouraged to follow these
developments through the media and integrate
their knowledge in class discussions.
0119. Introduction to African History
(3 s.h.) SS.
This course is an introduction to the study of
African history. History is the record of human
activities transmitted to posterity either in
written or oral form. Africa has the longest
record of human habitation, making African
history the oldest in the family of human
history. Given the immense complexity and
richness of African history, we could only scan
through the major themes of African history by
studying the intertwining of African culture
with African history proper. There are six books
assigned for this course. They cover
interdisciplinary issues pertaining to cultural
studies, anthropological explorations, gender
relations, and historical studies proper.
R120. Latino Caribbean World (3 s.h.)
Core: RS.
(Formerly: History 0346.)
This course offers an interpretation of the longterm historical evolution of the Caribbean
region and of Caribbean peoples within the
United States. While its primary emphasis is
given to the experience of Cubans and Puerto
Ricans, Dominicans, Haitians, and people from
the English-speaking Caribbean also receive
attention. Race constitutes a central thread of
the course in the context of colonialism and
slavery in the Caribbean, migratory patterns to
and from the United States, and matters of
cultural identity and labor-force participation at
dawn of the 21st century. As an intermediatelevel history course, the Latino Caribbean
World places an emphasis on careful analysis of
readings and upon the writing of historical
essays. It treats its material in a broad,
comparative manner aimed at linking the course
to other fields of knowledge.
0121. Introduction to Latin America (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0340.)
An overview of Latin American history from
pre-Hispanic civilizations through the Spanish
and Portuguese colonial periods and nationhood
to the present. Organized both chronologically
and thematically, the course probes such issues
as the rise and fall of political systems; matters
of race, gender, and class; the economic
conditions of work and survival; and patterns of
social and cultural change. Methods of
instruction include paperback readings, the
internet, and video clips.
0122. Latin American Social Struggles (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0118.)
An examination of Latin America’s
contemporary history from the Cuban
Revolution in 1959 through the end of the Cold
War to the present. The course explores such
matters as revolution and counter-revolution;
human rights and institutional accountability;
city life and social change; the movement of
people, narcotics, goods; and new forms of
political and cultural conflict. Methods of
instruction include paperback readings, the
internet, and video clips.
0123. Modern Islamic History (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0313.)
This course compares Modern Islamic history,
viewed as a political economy, with Modern
Islamic history viewed through modernization
theory. We also consider issues relating to
gender in Modern Islam, and consider notions
of reformation of modern society.
0140. Pre-Modern Europe (3 s.h.)
The evolution of Europe from Roman times
until 1750. The different cultures that went to
make up Europe-Roman, Christian,
“Barbarian,” Muslim; formation of proto-states;
technological and economic change; contact
with non-Europeans; social and cultural
movements over the medieval and early modern
periods. Europe before the modern era was not
a static, fossilized culture but rather a dynamic
one marked by important discontinuities as well
as continuities.
0141. Irish History (3 s.h.)
Irish and Irish American culture, society,
religion, and problems associated with minority
status and oppression. Special questions relating
to the changing structure of family ties and
women and related issues; Irish American
consciousness as exemplified by support over
the recent troubles in Northern Ireland. The
recent and dramatic improvements in the
standard of living in the Republic and the
growing disparity amongst the urban Irish will
serve to complete this study.
0144. History of England (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0109.)
How the kingdom of England was created and
how its government evolved from a feudal
monarchy to a constitutional democracy that has
been a model for other countries, especially the
United States. How England became the first
industrial nation and how its society and culture
responded to this change.
0145. Rome and Italy: Renaissance to the
Present (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0188.)
A broad survey of Italian history from medieval
to modern times. Although the unified Italian
state is a modern creation little more than a
century old, Italy gave birth to Europe’s first
urban civilization in its glorious renaissance
cities. Italy finally achieved unity and played a
major role in European affairs, which
unfortunately included two world wars and the
fascist dictatorship of Benito Mussolini. More
than is the case with most countries, Italian
history is the history of its great cities like
Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan. We will
focus on those centers, especially Rome, which
is also the home of the Popes whose role in
Italian and world history is immense, and
Florence, the home of great artists and such
great modern figures as Dante, Machiavelli, and
Galileo.
0146. Russia: Nationality and Empire (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0110.)
This course surveys Russian political and
cultural developments from earliest times to the
present emphasizing the issues of empire and
nationality that have shaped the multicultural
Russian/Soviet/Russian state. Peasant issues, the
political role of Russian intellectuals, and the
Empire’s ambiguous relationship to the West
will also be stressed. The course will also
examine the difficult situation left behind after
the fall of communism and the implications of
the end of the Cold War.
0147. History of Spain and Portugal (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0185.)
Chronological and thematic survey of the
history of Spain and Portugal. Includes the
impact of ancient era Roman occupation, the
medieval era Islamic conquest and Christian
Reconquista, the apogee of Spanish and
Portuguese influence and world power in the
16th century, and the experiences of mid-20th
century fascism and late twentieth century
social democracy.
0150. History of Nazi Germany (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0182.)
This course studies the rise and decline of
Hitler’s Third Reich, from its “intellectual”
origins in the 19th century and World War I,
through the meteoric rise of the National
Socialist movement during the early 1930’s, to
its demise in the ruins of Berlin in 1945.
Special attention is given to the sources of
support for Nazism among German voters, the
structure of the National Socialist state, the role
of Adolf Hitler, the Holocaust, and the causes
and consequences of the Second World War.
0155. Film in European History (3 s.h.)
The renowned film historian Anton Kaes once
wrote: “Historical films interpret national
history for the broad public and thus produce,
organize, and, to a large degree, homogenize
public memory. Surpassing schools and
universities, film, and television have become
the most effective (and paradoxically least
acknowledged) institutional vehicles for shaping
historical consciousness.” This course seeks to
right that imbalance by acknowledging and
studying the way that films (and other visual
media) teach us about history. Using prominent
American and European films (primarily),
students will learn to critically analyze visual
media, examining them for content, bias, and
interpretation. The course will cover key
episodes in modern European history and will
provide historical background/context for the
period necessary to evaluate and study films as
historical documents.
0156. Gender, Class, Nation (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0140.)
An exploration of social and economic roles of
women and men in modern Europe.
Comparison of the impact of gender, class, and
nationality on middle-class, working-class and
peasant women and men in England, France,
Germany, Italy, and Russia. The effects of
industrialization, nationalism, war, fascism,
communism, and the welfare state on women’s
and men’s lives. The evolution of the role of
girls and women in the family and the changing
status of single and married women in the home
and the workplace.
0157. Gender, War, and Society (3 s.h.)
In wartime, the traditional organization of
society is often radically altered to meet the
pragmatic and ideological needs of triumphing
in the ongoing conflict. Ideas about gender –
i.e., how masculinity and femininity are defined
– are frequently subject to radical revision in the
context of a society at war. This course
examines the European and, to a lesser extent,
the American experiences of war during the two
World Wars and the intervening 20 year period,
to understand how war and ideas of gender are
related. Using both primary and secondary
source materials, as well as films about World
Wars I and II, the course looks at the
experiences of men and women on the front
lines and on the home front, those who
participated in the wars and those who resisted
them, those who benefited from war and those
who were its victims. The course examines not
only how wartime experiences construct and
revise ideas about gender, but also how the
rhetoric of gender is often used to further
wartime aims.
R160. Race and Ethnicity in American
History (3 s.h.) Core: RS.
This course deals centrally with the social
process by which societies create racial and
ethnic groups and define their place in relation
to other racial or ethnic groups. Because the
emergence of racial and ethnic groups is a
historical process, the course will examine
American history from the colonial period to
the present in order to understand the changing
ways that Americans have viewed each other
and divided into groups. In short, the course
will be rooted in specific processes in American
history, but will examine how America formed
groups that are given power and prestige,
recognized as “real” Americans, discriminated
against, marginalized, enslaved or killed. The
groups to be examined include, but are not
limited to, Blacks, Native Americans, IrishAmericans, Italian-Americans, ChineseAmericans, Jews, and Chicanos.
R161. African American History to 1865
(3 s.h.) Core: RS.
(Formerly: History R233.)
This course will examine the activities of
African Americans in America from slavery to
1865. Among the topics to be studied are:
Slavery, The American Revolution, and the
Civil War. In addition, much attention will be
devoted toward emphasizing the multidimensional aspect of the African American
Community, and the crucial role which African
American women have played in America will
be stressed. The course will focus on themes
and questions which are essential to an
understanding of the past and to an
understanding of the present struggles for full
citizenship on the part of African Americans.
R162. African American History 1865- Present
(3 s.h.) SS. Core: RS.
(Formerly: History R234.)
This course will examine the activities of
African Americans in America from
Reconstruction to the present. Among the topics
to be studied are: Reconstruction, the evolution
of African American leadership, the Harlem
Renaissance, the Civil Rights Movement, and
Black Power. In addition, much attention will be
devoted toward emphasizing the multidimensional aspect of the African American
Community, and the crucial role that African
American women have played in America will
also be stressed. The course will focus on
themes and questions, which are essential to an
understanding of the past and to an
understanding of the present struggles for full
citizenship on the part of African Americans.
R163. Asian American History (3 s.h.)
Core: RS.
(Formerly: History R237.)
An introductory survey of the historical
experiences of Chinese, Japanese, Filipino,
Korean, South, and Southeast Asian immigrants
in the United States. Considers economic,
social, political, and cultural trends, beginning
with the arrival of the Chinese in the 1830s and
ending with issues facing Asian-Americans
today. Includes the development and
significance of Asian-American communities
and culture as well as approaches to the study
of Asian-Americans in racial hierarchies. The
aims of the course are to analyze commonalities
and differences in the historical and
contemporary experiences of Asian ethnic
groups and to explore perspectives on the
position of Asians in U.S. society – assimilation,
model minority, institutional racism, and
internal colonialism. Instructional methods
include lectures and audio-visual materials, but
they also emphasize active student participation
in learning through discussion, oral reports, and
written assignments.
R164. California Dreams, California
Nightmares (3 s.h.) Core: RS.
Over the century and a half since California was
forcibly incorporated into the United States, it
has exercised a powerful role upon the
imagination and reality of every generation.
California has been, at once, the golden gate of
opportunity and the grapes of wrath of the
downtrodden; social mobility and the policy of
incarceration, the glamour of Hollywood and
monotony of tract housing, the high-tech of
Silicon Valley and the high-sweat of agricultural
labor, the Eden of natural bounty and the
ecological disaster of sprawl and smog. This
course concentrates on the historical role that
categories of race have played in defining by
whose means, to whose benefit, and in whose
image California’s wealth would be produced
and consumed. As an intermediate-level history
course, California Dreams, California
Nightmares offers a mix of primary and
secondary sources, emphasizes the interaction
of multiple causal factors, and encourages
students to interpret and to write analytical
historical arguments. In addition to discussion,
lecture, and common readings, methods of
instruction in the course include use of a
computer-assisted classroom to provide image
and text projections, video clips, and internet
linkages.
History
0167. History of Philadelphia (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0071.)
This course is intended as an introduction to the
History of Philadelphia, broadly defined as the
region as well as the city, and assumes no
background or deeply developed interest in
American history. It presents a general survey
that can pique the curiosity of anyone who
wants to explore one of the nation’s most
exciting cities, but it is also meant to be
especially useful to students imagining careers
in such diverse fields as hospitality and tourism,
journalism and education, environmental studies
and law. The course will examine both how
national and international events (say, the
Revolution or the rise of the modern global
economy) impacted the city, and also how the
city experienced forces (like the adoption of the
automobile) that transformed it.
0170. Establishments, Sects, and Cults in the
Modern United States (3 s.h.)
In the years between 1945 and the present many
Americans insisted, with great fervor, that the
U.S. government and the U.S. way of life were
both based on what they called the “JudeoChristian tradition.” But those years also saw an
increasing American fascination with a whole
range of religious practices, the practices of
Pagans, Muslims, Native Americans, Buddhists,
and Hindus, for example, that seemed to clearly
lie outside of “the Judeo-Christian tradition”
that (some) Americans wanted to naturalize.
0171. Growing Up in America (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0220.)
This course will examine the changing
perception and experience of growing up in the
United States from colonial times to the present.
It will argue that childhood and adolescence are
social constructions that change over time. The
course will explore the emergence of childhood
and adolescence as distinct stages in the life
cycle, the evolving role of the family in the
process of growing up, and the increasing
importance of social institutions other than the
family in the lives of the young. Particular
attention will be paid to the difference between
growing up rich or poor, black or white, male or
female, and rural or urban. Finally, it will consider the reciprocal relationship between popular culture and the lives of young Americans.
0172. Sexuality and Gender in American
History (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0102.)
How do sexuality and gender shape the way a
society views the behavior of men and women?
How do they create images and stereotypes of
ideal or “typical” female and male behavior?
And how do the ways in which people actually
act compare to the society’s conventional ideas
about how they ought to act? This course takes
us from the beginning of the end of the
nineteenth century to the present, exploring the
social, cultural, and political dimensions of the
public and private roles of women and men in
the United States. It examines changing cultural
values and social norms of masculinity and
femininity and considers the actual behavior of
women and men in the family, at work and at
play, in love, and in the live of the nation. It also
probes the ways in which race, social class, and
sexual orientation have affected the experience
of gender.
0173. Modern U.S. History Through Film
(3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0010.)
This course will examine aspects of U.S. history
in the 20th century through the use of public
released feature motion pictures. In this visually
oriented society, every student encounters
images of history and culture on an almost daily
basis. Critical thinking about the visual media
must be learned. Every motion picture is a
primary document that can be read, interpreted,
and studied with as much depth as a written
document. Because of their complexity,
however, motion pictures reveal a vast array of
contemporary attitudes specific to their period.
A series of motion pictures will be shown
illustrating different aspects of American
history. All the films are produced in the
historical period under discussion. As an
intermediate course in the history department’s
curriculum, the students will learn to critically
examine these historical documents for different
levels of meaning. They will analyze not only
the surface plots of the films, but the underlying
historical assumptions that provided the
intellectual underpinning of the movies. They
will write papers based on their abilities to
analyze the visual documents and fashion an
historical argument.
0174. Popular Culture in 20th Century
America (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0217.)
This course examines the roles that stereotypes,
fashions, sports, the automobile, movies, radio,
television, and leisure activities, have played in
twentieth century American culture, and the
manifestations of political and cultural life that
the artifacts and leisure activities of the average
American exemplified. A knowledge of the
history and development of poplar culture
reveals the roots of modern American society
and culture, and explains why Americans have
not only developed in a unique way, but why
their cultural influence has been so great on a
global scale. As such, the course allows students
to gain a broader view of American society
while providing depth and clarity of understanding of it through areas not usually
addressed by more traditional avenues of
learning. Toward this end, students will write a
research paper on a topic in popular culture
using written, oral, and visual materials.
Emphasis will be placed on the development of
the student’s topic through an analysis of
historical context, asking a proper historical
question, analyzing multiple historical factors,
and formulating historical arguments.
0175. Recent American History (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0215.)
The purpose of this course is to describe the
political, social, and economic changes that the
United States has experienced in making the
transition from the Cold War era to the postCold War (and post-industrial) society of the
late 20th century. The subject matter should be
of interest to students in Education, Journalism,
Urban Studies, and Psychology, as well as
History majors. The course covers the entire
period since World War II, but there is more
emphasis on social change since 1970. Topics
covered include: the origins of the Cold War;
anti-Communism in American society and
politics; the Civil Rights movement; the
Vietnam War and anti-war movement;
conservative backlash; Nixon and Watergate;
the rise of a post-industrial economy; postindustrial social trends (gender, race, and the
new immigration); and the growing impact of
media on society and politics.
0176. History of the American Economy and
American Business (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0242.)
This course is intended to provide the student
with a history of the development of the
American economy with an emphasis on the
part which business played in its development.
Topics covered include the agricultural
economy; the rise of manufacturing; the
development of the corporation, the stock
exchanges, finance capitalism, and the rise of
banking; 19th century business cycles; the
expansion of the American corporation in the
years between the Civil War and the Great
Depression; the overseas expansion of business
and the development worker’s capitalism in the
1920s; the changes produced by the Great
Depression and the Second World War; and the
rise of the modern economy with its transnational connections, the movement towards
deregulation, and the move from manufacturing
to a service economy. Students will be
introduced to a number of skills aimed at
making them better able to understand the
current American economy, to the use of
historical data as a means of judging current
trends in finance and business, and to some of
the major web sites and journal literature on the
subject. They will make written and oral
presentations in which they defend their ideas,
take a mid-term and a final exam, both of
which will require students to answer essay
questions, and write a short paper (10-15 pages)
on a historical topic dealing with business or
economic issues.
0177. U.S. Environmental History (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0242.)
This course is intended as an introduction to the
new field of environmental history, which
studies the changing relationships between
human beings and the natural world through
time. It assumes no background or deeply
developed interest in American history,
geography, or environmental studies. It presents
a general survey that is meant to be especially
to students imagining careers in fields as
diverse as law and tourism, communications
and chemistry. Our central premise throughout
will be that much of the familiar terrain of
American history looks very different when
seen in its environmental context, and that one
can learn a great deal about both history and the
environment by studying the two together. We
will be approaching American environmental
history from at least three different angles. First,
we will ask how various human activities have
historically depended on and interacted with the
natural world. Second, we will trace the shifting
attitudes toward nature held by different
Americans during various periods of their
nation’s history. Finally, we will ask how human
attitudes and activities have worked together to
reshape the American landscape. At the same
time, we will be tracing the evolution of
environmental politics in the United States, so
that the course is also a history of conservation
and environmentalism in our nation’s political
life.
0180. American Empire (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0247.)
This course surveys and interprets the creation
and growth of the American empire from the
colonial era to contemporary times. In doing so,
it addresses the fundamental questions of how
and why a republic, founded on the lofty
principles concerning liberty and equality
eloquently expressed in the Declaration of
Independence, behaved so aggressively in
pursuing territorial and commercial aggrandizement, including the subjugation and in some
cases extermination of peoples and nations. The
course will also examine the instruments the
United States employed to expand its influence
and dominion. These include traditional means
like force, diplomacy, and economics, and less
orthodox methods and agents, ranging from
missionaries to movie moguls to the “Marlboro
Man.” Consequently, a major challenge of this
course will be both to arrive at an appropriate
definition of “empire,” and further, to identify
the constituencies from within the private as
well as public sectors, and to a degree from the
international community, that contributed to the
realization of George Washington’s vision of the
United States as a “rising empire.”
0181. United States at War (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0254.)
This course surveys the experience of the
United States at war and examines the diverse
roles played by the U.S. military in national
society. After looking at warfare in the Age of
Independence, the course focuses upon the rise
of a professional officer corps and the
development of the Civil War. Thereafter
warfare took place in the context of the U.S.
role as a global power: the War of 1898, the two
World Wars, and the Cold War. The course
concludes with an examination of the Vietnam
and Persian Gulf wars.
0182. U.S. Civil War (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0210.)
This is an intermediate level history course
aimed at giving history majors and students in
other disciplines such as English and political
science, an understanding of the changes in
American life brought about the Civil War.
Caused by a crisis in the relationship between
the two major sections of the country over the
existence of slavery in the South and the
growing opposition of the North to that
institution, the Civil War was the great defining
moment in the history of the United States. The
war was followed by a long period of occupation by the North of the South and then great
bitterness, which lasted, into the 20th century.
Even today, the war has left a major impact on
the relations between the races in the country
and on the politics of America. Because the war
was the product of 80 or more years of history,
the first section will deal with the causes of the
conflict. The second part of the course will deal
with the war itself, focusing upon the military,
the social, and political aspects of the Great
Rebellion. In the third section, we will
concentrate on the long range consequences of
the war, including the changes in African
American life, the Reconstruction Era, and the
long term political results of the Civil War.
0183. Vietnam War (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0256.)
The Vietnam War is a microcosm of the forces
that have shaped the 20th century world:
colonialism, imperialism, nationalism,
revolution, modernization, nation building,
Third World development, capitalism,
communism, the cold war, and more. It was a
defining moment for both Americans and
Vietnamese, although the peoples of neither
nation can agree on what precisely it defined.
For the United States, the loss of the war
produced a crisis of national identity. For
Vietnam, the victory meant the culmination of
thirty years of revolutionary struggle. To the
present day both suffer from the failure to
resolve problems inherent in these outcomes.
This course is designed to emphasize the war as
a problem for both Americans and Vietnamese.
The question will be why almost complete
strangers prior to World War II became such
bitter enemies so soon thereafter, and as a
consequence engaged in mortal combat for
more than a decade. The strategy will be to
explore the social, political, economic, military,
and diplomatic dimensions and ramifications
from the perspective of each.

0200. The City in History (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0385.)
This course looks at the city as a product of
human creativity in which the goals of
collective life are debated and fought out. The
workings of the city are examined in history by
focus on the cultural, economic, and political
significance of cities as well as on urban design.
The course includes visual examples from cities
in Europe, West Africa, India, and Southeast
Asia as well as a walking tour in the Manayunk
section of Philadelphia.
0201. Women in Preindustrial Societies (3 s.h.)
Women’s experience in the preindustrial period
varied greatly across different regions of the
globe, yet there were also important
commonalities. This course examines
comparatively, in various traditional European
and Third World societies, some important
themes in women’s history: work, sexuality,
marriage, social control, science and medicine,
and religion. It also discusses ways of studying
the history of people who were for the most part
not literate and left few traces of their own
thoughts and experiences.
0202. Third World Women’s Lives (3 s.h.)
Explores the themes of imperialism,
colonialism, class, race, interlocking
oppressions, commitments to family and
community, migration, resistance/insurgency/
revolution, collective action, memory, and
alternative visions as crossroads of identities in
Third World women’s lives. Utilizes a variety of
source materials with emphasis on the voices of
Third World women themselves (testimonies,
oral interviews, and documentary visual media).
Compares these life texts to those of other
working women as they speak to the experiences of being women of color or poor white
women in a late capitalist world. Develops the
tools for understanding the experiences and
perspectives of diverse groups of women to
create liberating ways of thinking and living.
0203. Comparative Feudalism (3 s.h.)
This course is designed to introduce students to
the study of comparative feudalism. By
examining case studies from the continents of
Africa, Asia, and Europe, the course analyzes
the mechanisms of interaction among the “three
orders” – those who fight, those who pray, and
those who till the land. The course analyzes the
three locales separately, and compares
similarities in the general structure of feudal
societies as well as differences in their details.
0204. Comparative Slavery (3 s.h.)
This course deals with the study of comparative
slavery in four distinct historical-cultural
domains: Ancient Greece, “New World” slavery,
Arab-Ottoman Islamic civilizations, and Africa.
The course analyzes the four locales separately,
and compares similarities in the general
structure of slave societies as well as differences
in their details. Issues pertaining to manumission or the lack of it and integration of exslaves into the larger society will be discussed.
0205. Colonialism and Decolonization (3 s.h.)
This course looks at the decline and fall of the
modern European empires. It adopts a case
study method to allow students to acquire indepth knowledge of the colonial and postcolonial environment in four distinct regions of
the world: Indonesia, North Africa, India and
West Africa/Britain. The course examines the
cultural construction of colonialism in
Indonesia and North Africa, examining such
issues as relations between the colonizers and
the colonized peoples in terms of race and
gender, construction of an imperial architecture
and environment, and modes of resistance to the
imperial project. Moving to India, the course
looks at the rise of colonial nationalism,
including the various discourses and tactics that
are implemented to resist, modify, and ultimately abolish colonialism. Finally, the course
examines the repercussions of imperialism for
the contemporary, discussing post-colonial
theory and the cultural, economic, political, and
demographic effects of de-colonization on both
Europe and its former colonies.
0212. Southern Africa: A History (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0303.)
This course deals with the history of Southern
Africa focusing on South Africa. It also
includes the history of Angola, Mozambique,
Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. A good part
of the course deals with a detailed study of the
history of apartheid in South Africa from its
inception to its political demise in 1994. It also
deals with the history of African resistance
against the Dutch-British racial order. Some of
the themes of the course include: African
societies in Southern Africa; European slave
traders, settlers, and colonizers (Portuguese,
Dutch, British, and German); racism and
apartheid in South Africa and Southern Africa
at large; African nationalism and the struggle
against white domination; the demise of
Portuguese colonialism in Angola and
Mozambique; the political demise of apartheid
and post-apartheid Southern Africa.
0215. Asian Women in Transition (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0334.)
Introduces and compares the recent historical
experience of women in Asia, especially China,
Japan, and Korea. Major topics include women
and the family, women and work, and women as
creators and activists. The course focuses on the
situations of rural as well as urban women, and
ordinary as well as elite women in the late 19th
and 20th centuries.
0216. Issues in Premodern Chinese History
(3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0320.)
This course adopts a thematic approach to
explore key questions, trends, and dynamics in
premodern Chinese history. Emphasis in source
materials is on primary documents/texts and
literature. The course enables students who have
completed History/Asian Studies 115 to delve
more deeply into historical problems of China’s
premodern past, but is also suitable for those
with no prior course work on China.
0217. The Chinese Revolution (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0321.)
This course is a general introduction to the
Chinese Revolution (1921-49) from the
perspective of sociopolitical history. Special
emphasis on: the internal historical trends and
external (semi-colonialist) interventions which
shaped the struggle for revolutionary change in
the twentieth century; conditions in the
countryside on the eve of revolution; the urban
and rural contours of the Communist
Movement; the evolution of Mao Zedong’s
thought; and revolutionary process and
dynamics.
0218. Contemporary China (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0322.)
This course examines society, the state, and
popular politics in the People’s Republic of
China from 1949 to the present. Special
emphasis on: revolutionary transformation and
socialist construction during the Maoist years
(1949-79); the postsocialist trajectory and its
critique over the last two decades.
0219. Modern India (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0332.)
Colonialism, nationalism, non-violent political
struggle, independence and adjustment,
regionalism and tension, leadership in a third
world movement, and relations with the United
States are the major political issues covered.
Social issues include coping with inequality,
population explosion, hunger, regional violence,
and new popular organizations. Major
personalities reviewed include Mahatma
Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel, Indira
Gandhi, Japaprakash Narayan, and Sir
Aurobindo.
0220. Japan Today (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0330.)
This course examines important social,
political, and economic trends in Japan from
1945 to the 1990s through lecture, discussion,
audio-visual materials, and group oral reports.
Topics include the Occupation, the “economic
miracle,” state and society, the world of work,
women, and gender, international relations,
impact of affluence, post-bubble Japan, and
varying approaches to the study of postwar
Japanese history and society.
0221. Women and Society in Japan (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0337.)
This course explores the changing position of
women in Japanese society from ancient times
to the 1990s. We will investigate female
goddesses, shamanesses, female emperors,
famous classical and modem women writers,
women of the early and late warrior age, and
women in industrializing and postwar Japan
through lecture and discussion based on
historical documents, secondary writings,
audiovisual materials, and literature, including
works written by Japanese women themselves.
Major themes include: women and religion,
women and household or family, women and
the state, women and the arts, and women and
work.
0222. History of Vietnam (3 s.h.)
Emphasizing cultural, social, and economic
factors, the course traces Vietnamese history
from its mythological origins to the 21st
century. Topics include indigenous social
formations, the period of Chinese domination,
the rise of independent Vietnamese dynasties,
the French colonial era, the Vietnamese
Revolution, and the three Indochina Wars,
including the Vietnam Conflict in the twentieth
century. It will close with consideration of life
under the current Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
0225. History of Brazil (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0348.)
Brazil is one of the world’s largest nations being
inferior in territorial size only to the United
States, Russia, and China. With more than
150,000,000 people, Brazil is second in
population among western hemisphere nations
to the United States, and far larger than any
Latin American nation. Brazilians can claim
national unity solidly based on a common
language and common cultural heritage.
Brazilians are descended from Native
Americans, Africans, and Europeans, but can
claim a recent history relatively free of ethnic or
racial strife. Brazil is rich in natural resources,
and has one of the world’s few natural resource
frontiers. Finally, Brazil continues to produce
outstanding architects, artists, writers,
composers, social scientists and legal
intellectuals, religious and political leaders,
entrepreneurs and athletes. At the same time,
persistent problems block Brazilian
development. They include widespread racism
and class bias, excessive dependence on foreign
capital and technology, a shamefully inadequate
public school system, a perverse distribution of
income that favors the wealthy, and fragile
democratic institutions. After 500 years of
history, Brazilians have immense tasks before
them, while the promise of national greatness
remains unfulfilled.
0226. Puerto Rican History (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0354.)
This course explores particular issues related to
the political, economic, and social development
of Puerto Rico with special emphasis given to
the 19th and 20th centuries. The course will not
only address historical paragons but also
questions of interpretations. In each class a
combination of readings, discussion, lectures,
and videos will be used to view the various
issues in a comprehensive manner.
0230. Israel and the Arabs (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0314.)
This course explores the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict from the late 19th century to the
present. Includes discussion of the changing
relationship between Jews and Arabs; the role of
religion in Middle Eastern politics; the
evolution of Zionism; the development of Arab
and Palestinian nationalism; the creation and
growth of the State of Israel; the tensions
between Israel and its neighbors; the rise of the
PLO and the quest for Palestinian statehood;
and peace prospects in the Middle East.
0231. Modern Middle East (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0315.)
This course surveys the history of the modern
Middle East, analyzing some of the great
controversies of the region. How the modern
Middle East arose, why so many conflicts in the
region in modern times have taken place, why
the Great Powers have been so involved, and
how the struggles of the working class have
fared are among the questions to be addressed.
0235. Greek History (3 s.h.) SS.
(Formerly: History 0162.)
The Greek History survey begins with the
Bronze Age and ends shortly after the
Peloponnesian Wars. Students will read a
narrative history, a study of the art in historical
context, and a selection of the ancient literary
sources upon which our knowledge is based.
Strong emphasis is placed on the archaeological
material and how it is used to augment the
literary sources. The philosophical and cultural
achievements of ancient Greece will be put in
historical context.
0236. Roman History (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0164.)
This survey of Roman History begins with the
foundation of Rome in the 8th century B.C. and
ends with the founding of the Christian capital
of the Empire at Constantinople. Students will
read a narrative history, a study of various
aspects of Roman society and culture, and a
selection of the ancient sources upon which our
knowledge is based. Archaeological material
will be used to augment the literary sources.
The influence of Rome on later Western
Civilization in government and law will be
studied as well as its role in determining the
foundation of Christianity.
0238. Belief and Society in Pre-Modern
Europe (3 s.h.)
An examination of changes in belief systems
(both religious and ideological) and their impact
on, and influence by, the society around them.
The course will focus especially on beliefs as
understood and interpreted by the wider society,
not just a few intellectuals. Focus is on diversity
of belief and practice within an overwhelmingly,
but not monolithically, Christian society.
0239. Power and Conflict in Pre-Modern
Europe (3 s.h.)
An examination of the kinds of power struggles
that took place in Europe during the medieval
and early modern period, and the military, legal,
and other means used to resolve them. Struggles
among monarchs and territorial magnates; the
Crusades; heresy and its suppression; religious
wars; and much more local and personal
disputes as well.
0242. Art, Culture, and European Societies
(3 s.h.)
Art and culture in Europe from ca. 1850 to
1914. Emphasis will be on literary writers,
visual artists and composers in their historical
setting. This is the period of extended
romanticism and the development of realism
and impressionism in the arts. The basic format
of the course will be seminar reports with
students giving three presentations (time
permitting) with one on a writer, one a visual
artist and one a composer. These will then be
worked into short papers.
History
0243. Women’s Lives in Modern Europe
(3 s.h.) SS.
This course treats issues related to women’s
status and power in Modern European History
from the 18th century to the present. The
emphasis of the course will be on the
experiences of women in England, France,
Germany, and Russia where many economic
and political changes have occurred in the last
few centuries. The purpose of this course is to
discuss important issues that women have
confronted in the past, and that continue to
influence problems that women face today such
as: personal, economic, and political power,
education, sexuality, psychology, and social
esteem, women’s position in the home and
workplace plus the continuing question of
conventional versus unconventional gender
roles in Western Societies. To supplement a
general text and several published sources in
European history, students will be reading
memoirs and essays written by women on
economic, political, and social issues pertaining
to women, work, and the family during the past
two centuries.
0244. French Revolution and Napoleon (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0120.)
This course will treat the history of the French
Revolution from the mid 18th century through
the Napoleonic era (1750-1821). Material in the
course will address varied interpretations of the
revolution from classical Marxist to more recent
cultural, feminist, and post-modern perspectives
on the subject. In addition to various texts on
the revolution, the course also includes a
detailed discussion of Napoleon Bonaparte’s
military and political career with due
consideration given to the French empire and its
impact on the subsequent political configuration
of 19th century Europe.
0245. Revolutionary Europe (3 s.h.)
This course will treat major social, political, and
cultural revolutions that occurred in Europe and
Russia during the modern period. (1789-1917).
Through a discussion of specific revolutions,
the class will attempt to discern some patterns
in the causes and development of revolutionary
events. The course will consider historical
factors related to the outbreak of major
revolutions such as rural economics, industrial
changes, class formation and social vision prior
to, or during revolutionary periods. Specific
topics will include: the French Revolution;
Industrial Changes and Class Conflict, the
Revolution of 1848, the Impact of Peasant
Rebellions, the Commune of 1870, Bismarck’s
political and cultural revolution, and the
Russian Revolution.
0246. Blood and Iron: 19th Century European
Diplomacy (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0126.)
This course will be a survey of the history of
European diplomacy from the wars of the
French Revolution until the outbreak of World
War I in 1914. Modern warfare, nationalism,
and tremendous economic, social, and
technological upheaval shaped the 19th century
and fundamentally altered the way nation-states
interacted. Therefore, we cannot be content in
this course to study the biographies of
Metternich, Napoleon III, Bismarck, and other
great diplomats of the 19th century, though they
will receive due attention. In order to explain
the events that in many ways laid the
groundwork for the world situation in our own
time, we will examine cultural and intellectual
movements, military and scientific innovations,
and political and social changes that still affect
the way nations conduct diplomacy.
0249. Rise of the European Dictators (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0122.)
By the late 1930s, dictatorships and
democracies faced each other across
increasingly hostile borders. Understanding how
this situation developed and why dictatorship
seemed a natural response to the challenges
facing Europe at the time can help us explain
some of the choices people make in our own
time. Rise of the European Dictatorships will
focus on the growing turmoil, which
characterized the early part of the 20th century,
including the First World War, the Bolshevik
Revolution, the growth of Fascism and Nazism,
and the outbreak of the Second World War. This
course is the first semester of a year-long
survey of the political, social, economic, and
cultural history of 20th century Europe.
0250. Europe Divided and United, 1939-1945
(3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0124.)
Over the past 50 years, Europe has been both
more starkly divided and more peacefully
unified than at almost any other time in history.
The Cold War split Europe on opposite sides of
an Iron Curtain, while the recent collapse of
communism in Eastern Europe has created
unprecedented opportunities for European
nations to act in concert. This course examines
the ways in which World War II and subsequent
events created the conditions for these
developments by finally destroying the era of
European world dominance. European nations
and peoples have adjusted to their new
(diminished?) role in the world in fascinating
ways. Highlights will include the Second World
War, the growing Cold War, the revolutions of
1968, and the collapse of the authoritarian
governments in Eastern Europe. Special
attention will be paid to the efforts aimed at the
economic and political unification of Europe up
to the present day. Business, tourism, and other
majors will find this course an invaluable
introduction to the economic and cultural
environment of Europe.
0253. Historic Britain, 1688-1815 (3 s.h.)
This course examines British history from the
“Glorious Revolution” of 1688 through the end
of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815. Using a variety
of primary and secondary sources, including
novels, the course will examine the debates and
arguments that contributed to the establishment
of the modern industrialized nation-state in
Britain. The course examines such important
events as the industrial revolution and its
implications for Britain and the world, the
development of a constitutional parliamentary
form of government which was important for
the nascent United States, as well as for Britain,
the development of mass politics and radical
politics, and Britain’s involvement in European
and world affairs.
0254. Modern Britain: Empire, War, Rock and
Roll (3 s.h.)
This course examines the history of Britain
from the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815
until the present. Using a variety of historical
sources, including primary and secondary
historical sources, as well as novels and
journalistic reportage, the course looks at the
critical questions that have faced Britain and
have influenced world history over the course of
the 19th and 20th centuries. Among the issues
to be examined are the development of mass
politics, and the inclusion of the working
classes and women in the British polity, the
development and Thatcherite decline of the
welfare state, the construction and demise of the
British Empire, Britain’s military and
diplomatic roles in the two world wars, and
position in the emerging European Union. The
course examines these questions from a variety
of different angles, including political, cultural,
economic and social.
W255. Jews, Judaism, and the Modern World
(3 s.h.) Core: WI.
(Formerly: History W156.)
This course considers the impact of modernity
on Jews and Judaism in Eastern Europe,
Western Europe, the United States, and the
Middle East. We will discuss the process of
emancipation and assimilation; religious reform
movements and modern Orthodoxy; the
emergence of the Jewish “New Woman”; the
involvement of Jews in liberalism, socialism
and communism; the evolution of Zionism and
the State of Israel; modern anti-Semitism and
the Holocaust; and the complex issues relating
to modern Jewish identity.
W256. Eastern Europe: Nationalism,
Authoritarianism, and Communism (3 s.h.) S.
(Formerly: W355.)
This course examines the development of
nation-states of Eastern Europe in the 20th
century, including Poland, Hungary, Romania,
Bulgaria and Albania, as well as
Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and their successor
states. Topics include the emergence of national
identities; the break-up of the Habsburg,
Russian and Ottoman Empires; the redrawing of
boundaries and problems of national minorities
after World War I; the rise of authoritarian
governments during the interwar years; World
War II and the Communist takeovers; the
varieties of Communist regimes and the impact
of Communism on daily life; the postCommunist era and the resurgence of
nationalism and authoritarianism in the Balkans.
Each student will be expected to specialize in
one country or nationality.
0257. Early Russian Empire, 1547-1905
(3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0172.)
This course will examine many of the dramatic
political and social events of the construction of
Russian empire from the 16th century to the
Revolt of 1905. Major attention will be paid to
peasant issues, the role of the intelligentsia, and
international competition.
0258. Russia: Revolution, State, and Empire
(3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0175.)
Today people in Russia and the other former
Soviet republics are struggling to understand
and interpret their recent history: the visions
upon which it was founded, the tragedies and
triumphs that altered those visions, and the
reasons for its eventual collapse. This course
will be doing the same. The dramatic collapse
of the USSR in 1991 was, in fact, only the latest
in the series of revolutions and other upheavals
that have characterized Russian history in the
20th century. This course will examine the
political history of the country as it moved from
absolute monarchy through dictatorship under
Stalin, to increasingly powerful movements for
change from Khrushchev to Gorbachev. It will
also study the economic revolutions that made
the Soviet economy the world’s second largest,
and the economic weaknesses that became
increasingly evident in the 1980s and 1990s.
Finally, it will look at the experiences and
aspirations of the Russian and Soviet people
themselves: how they have been affected by the
radical ideas and violent upheavals of the 20th
century, and how they participated in the
creation of a unique Soviet polity and culture.
0265. Colonial America (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0201.)
Many important aspects of U.S. society
developed significantly before the Revolution.
The purpose of this course is to understand
better how this society took shape in that
formative early era. The first classes deal with
some general issues that colonizers faced as
they tried to form and develop settlements in
North America, and the way the English entered
into this process. Then characteristics of how
three regions of the colonies evolved are
examined: the South, New England, and the
Middle Atlantic. The final few weeks of the
course take up changes in political life,
economics, and culture that all parts of the
colonies experienced in the 1700s and which
tended to bring them together towards becoming
one new nation, though not a nation without
differences and conflicts.
0266. American Revolution and Republic
(3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0203.)
The central focus of the course is how the
United States developed from colonies of Great
Britain in the middle of the 18th century to a
nation with continental ambitions in the early
19th century. We will study the historical
origins of the Revolution, the “radical
character” of the revolution as Americans
struggled to establish republican governments
and social institutions. Special attention is given
to the origins of the Constitution and the
struggle to define the Constitution in the early
republic. Students will read various books that
focus on revolutionary history from different
perspectives. How did the Revolution alter the
history of various groups within the United
States? What impact did it have on Americans?
The course stresses an understanding of the
Revolution and the early Republic from a
variety of historical interpretations. Many of the
skills emphasized in the class prepare students
to think about how historians solve historical
problems. The solving of various historical
problems prepares students for graduate school
and law school. Historical thinking also
prepares students to understand how history is
used to address current cultural and political
issues. Students will write book review essays
in order to develop an understanding of how
historians collect evidence, construct historical
interpretation and to develop their own
interpretations of historical events and personal
writing skills.
R267. Race and the U.S. Constitution (3 s.h.)
Core: RS.
(Formerly: History R246.)
The central focus of the course is how the issue
of race has shaped the history of the United
States Constitution and how constitutional law
contributed to the history of ideas about race in
the United States. We study the origins of the
law of race and slavery in the pre-revolutionary
period and end with understanding the origins
of affirmative action in the post-World War II
period. Students will read various books about
U.S. Constitutional history in order to
understand various interpretations of historical
events and ideas abut race. Student will also
read original court cases about racial minorities
in order to develop an understanding of original
historical texts. Many of the skills emphasized
in the class prepare students for law school,
public service, and analyzing the historical roots
of contemporary issues. Class discussion about
constitutional issues is designed to give students
confidence and precision in public speaking.
Students will also write book reviews in order
to develop an understanding of how historians
collect evidence in order to construct historical
interpretations and to develop their own
interpretations of historical events and their
personal writing skills.
0270. 19th Century America (3 s.h.)
This is an advanced level history course aimed
at giving history majors and students in other
disciplines such as English and Political Science
an understanding of the changes in American
life during the 19th century. This is truly a
“World We Have Lost,” a society dominated by
agricultural, but becoming increasingly
industrial and urbanized. But even though a
visit to the world of 100 years ago is as foreign
to contemporary students as the visit by the
anthropologist to a non-western culture, the
consequence for modern American life is
immense. The topics discussed in this course
are related to the changes in the United States
that promoted its development as a multicultural
democracy and an economic superpower.
0271. 20th Century America (3 s.h.)
This course analyzes American politics, society
and culture in the 20th century. Among the
topics to be analyzed are the changing role of
the presidency from McKinley to Clinton,
progressivism, World War I, the conflictive
1920s, the depression and the New Deal, World
War II, affluence in the 1950s, the Cold War,
antiCommunism, racism, the civil rights
movement, the rebellious 1960s, the war in
Vietnam, Nixon, the Great Society, the women’s
movement and gender issues, the conservative
backlash, and the new diversity.
History
0272. American Cultural History (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0224.)
This course will not attempt to cover all aspects
of American cultural history in one semester.
Instead, it will examine some important themes
from the 19th and 20th centuries. It will use
material drawn from elite and popular sources
to explore the meaning of “culture” in a diverse,
democratic society. It will ask when and why
Americans began to think that there was such a
thing as American culture. It will interrogate
this culture for some basic elements, taking into
account the role of such important features of
American life as liberalism, pragmatism,
patriotism, consumerism, and modernism as
well as the impact of science, technology, the
arts, and religion. It will distinguish between
public culture, intended for the edification of
all, and the private cultures of different
subgroups.
0273. History of the American Presidency
(3 s.h.)
This course examines historical developments
in the office of the U.S. president from its
establishment to contemporary times. Through
lectures, discussions, class projects, and outside
assignments, we will explore the historical
literature dealing with the creation and
evolution of the office; the presidents who have
shaped the office; the powers and limitations of
the office in both foreign and domestic affairs;
the president’s relationship to the courts, the
congress, the people, and the press; and the
broad political developments essential to our
understanding of the place of the presidency
within our changing political culture. This
course asks: How has our most important
national political institution come to be what it
is? Two themes permeate the course: (1) what is
the source and nature of presidential power?
(2) who are the men who have held the office
and why have they failed or succeeded? This
course prepares students for further historical or
other academic studies and for related
professional careers in law, journalism, or
executive management. More importantly, the
course engages students’ concerns as life-long
participants in American democracy.
0274. History of American Science (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0136.)
This course approaches the history of science in
America as a characteristically modern way of
thinking, investigating questions, and designing
technology. We will consider the development
of the scientific approach to problem solving as
a key factor in understanding major issues in
American intellectual, social, and political
history. We will focus on three periods in
American history. In the first, from the
founding of the British North American
colonies to the mid 19th century, we will
concentrate on the challenge that early science
posed to religious faith. In the second, from the
mid 19th to mid 20th centuries, we will
examine how science and technology came to
be central to modern society. In the third, the
latter half of the 20th century, we will analyze
the competing claims of science, politics and
religion. We will pay attention in each period to
the multiple social contexts within which
science happens. We will be especially
concerned with issues of wealth; gender; race
and ethnicity; the family; schools and
universities as institutions of learning; and the
uses of science and technology for economic
development; social welfare; and military and
political power.
0278. Development of the Modern American
City (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0226.)
The course examines the way that the American
city has undergone two revolutionary changes in
the 135 years since the Civil War. In the mid- to
late 19th century the city went from a walking
city to a streetcar city, altering the basic social
and economic geography. Then in the 20th
century American cities were transformed from
streetcar cities to automobile cities, again
revolutionizing the cities’ basic geography. The
two transformations were rooted in technological innovation in such areas as transportation, power, and building construction. But the
changes also depended upon what American
urban dwellers chose to make of the
technologies. History, by examining the way
that American cities have changed in the past,
can illuminate what the American city has
become and thus can provide insight into the
factors that should be taken into account in
influencing the future of cities.
0279. Historical Roots of Urban Crime (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0366.)
The course focuses on two aspects of the
history of the underworld of American cities:
The first aspect might be called the life within
the underworld, or what it means to live the life
of a criminal. The course examines how
bookmakers or madams run their businesses,
how pickpocket gangs pick pockets, how loan
sharks collect their money, and what kind of
culture and social life characterizes those who
are part of the underworld life. The second
aspect is the way that underworld activities both
reflect and influence the wider society. The
course, then, examines the interrelationships of
crime, on the one hand, and ethnic groups,
neighborhood structure, urban politics, criminal
justice institutions, the rise of professional
sports, the changing sexual mores of the society,
and even such aspects as the changing role of
the family and the impact of technology. Crime
becomes a prism through which students will
learn about the history of American urban
society.
0280. Modern American Social History (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0222.)
The purpose of this course is to provide an
overview of the main elements of American
social/economic development during the
industrial period, approximately 1870-1940.
Topics covered include the growth of new
industries and changing work conditions,
urbanization, class divisions, immigration and
black migration, the changing status of women
and the family, and the impact of the Great
Depression and the New Deal on American life.
Both secondary and primary sources, including
two important novels with social history
themes, are used in the course, and students are
required to write an essay (and give an in-class
report) that analyzes a specific primary source
dealing with one of the aspects of social history
covered in the lectures and required readings.
The take-home final exam essay also requires
that students evaluate sources. Class
participation in discussing the readings is also
an important part of the course.
0281. Gender, Race, and Ethnicity in America
(3 s.h.)
United States Women’s history has come of age
during the last two decades. There is now
recognition that there is no universal women’s
experience, rather American women come from
diverse racial and ethnic, as well as cultural
backgrounds. Therefore women’s experiences
must be examined within the larger context in
which they have functioned. Utilizing the full
context of American history from the colonial
period to 1980, this course will explore the
various ways in which gender, race, and
ethnicity, along with other aspects of identity,
have shaped the lives and experiences of women
in the United States. It will examine the
complex relationships between the construction
of personal identities, the material realities of
women’s lived experiences, cultural and
ideological systems, and social institutions. Of
necessity we must look at the bonds and
conflicts among women and between women
and men. Issues of race, gender, and ethnicity
must be addressed within the context of
American women’s history.
0282. African American Church and Black
Liberation (3 s.h.)
Race has been and is a central issue in America.
Race has played a very important role in the
lives of black people and in the history of
African Americans. Historically the black
church has been a central institution for
addressing pressing societal issues that threaten
the existence of black people. African
Methodism, the first major black Christian
organization came into existence as a liberation
movement and a protest against racism and
segregation in the Christian Church. Utilizing
selected historic periods, i.e., ante-bellum, Civil
War and Reconstruction, the 1920s and 1930s,
and the 1960s, this course will explore the
meaning of freedom and liberation as defined
by the historic African American church and its
leadership, and will examine the different
ideologies and strategies employed by church
leaders in addressing and resolving issues
regarding the individual and collective freedom
of black people. American and African
American history will be used as the context,
for examining issues, events, movements and
personalities important to understanding the
role and impact of the black church on the
development of liberationist black thought and
movements during different periods.
0285. Jewish Experience in America (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0229.)
This course considers evolution of the Jewish
community in the United States from its
colonial beginnings to the present day. Topics
include the immigrant experiences of various
waves of migration, especially from Eastern
Europe and the former Soviet Union; the
development of the major religious movements
within Judaism: Reform, Conservative,
Orthodox and Reconstructionist; the role of
Jews in American life and politics; the changing
roles of American Jewish women; American
anti-Semitism; Black-Jewish relations;
relationship between American Jews and Israel;
assimilation and identity.
0287. Women in U.S. History (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0244.)
The principal theme of this course in women’s
history can be summed up in this phrase:
“Unity, Difference, and Diversity: The Search
for Sisterhood and Beyond.” Working with a
textbook, a number of scholarly articles, and
documents that come from throughout
American history, we will explore the ways in
which women have both been affected by, and
helped to shape, this nation’s history. Our
emphasis will be on how women of different
socioeconomic backgrounds, races, and ethnic
groups have experienced colonization,
American expansion, sectionalism, the
industrial revolution, urbanization, immigration,
war, economic depression, cultural transformations and political change. We will be
looking not only at commonalities but also
differences among women as well as the
conflicts between women and a society based
on male supremacy. We will be exploring how
race, ethnicity, and class affect the experience of
gender.
0288. Sexual Minorities in the United States
(3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0230.)
This course focuses upon lesbians, gays, and
other sexual minorities on their interaction in a
hostile society. The course starts with study of
sexuality in general, with a European
background, and why it was something of a
prohibited subject before Dr. Alfred Kinsey. We
examine Kinsey through the eyes of an
associate, Wardell Pomeroy, and then move on
to case studies of black and white sexual
minorities in their search for space. The course
then turns to the first publicly elected gay
martyr and the reactions following his
assassination. The focus then shifts to women of
color, their special problems and interactions
with the lesbian and gay community. The effect
of AIDS will also be discussed.
0290. America’s Rise to Globalism (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0248.)
This course will trace the contours of U.S.
foreign policy from its colonial origins through
the destruction of the myth of isolationism
produced by the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Although the syllabus proceeds chronologically,
the lectures and readings emphasize thematic
continuities and discontinuities. These themes
include the ideological, strategic, economic,
cultural, and racial influences on America’s
foreign relations; mission, manifest destiny, and
continental expansion; issues of war, peace, and
security; crisis management and
mismanagement; the closing frontier and
imperialism; Wilsonianism and its critics;
independent internationalism; and personal
versus coalition diplomacy. Because the study
of diplomatic history is highly interpretative,
and the assigned studies reflect competing
interpretations, all students will be expected to
question, comment upon, and yes, even criticize
the readings and lectures. In doing so, emphasis
will be placed on recognizing and assessing the
strategies historians employ to collect and use
evidence in order to advance arguments.
Students will be required to “volunteer” at the
start of each session to summarize briefly and
cogently the primary issues and arguments
covered in the preceding one, and students
should be prepared to respond to questions and
references to the readings that will be
incorporated into each session’s lectures.
0291. Superpower America (3 s.h.)
(Formerly: History 0249.)
This course traces the ebb and flow of the 20th
century effort to establish and institutionalize a
new framework and set of norms for the
international order based on U.S. leadership.
Overlaying the narrative history of Presidential
polices from Franklin Roosevelt to Bill Clinton
is a number of interrelated themes, including:
the rise and fall of the United States as a
creditor nation; the tension between America’s
idealistic impulses and the perceived need to
behave “realistically” in a frequently hostile
environment; the impact of domestic influences
on foreign policy; the emergence of bipolarism
and Soviet-American antagonism; the challenge
to bipolarism posed by the Third World and
regional disputes; atomic diplomacy and the
balance of terror; “existential deterrence” and
arms limitation; crisis management and
avoidance; and, finally, the end of the Cold War,
the implosion of the former Soviet Union, and
the implications of the Russian empire’s
collapse for restructuring the global system,
reordering America’s international priorities,
and producing a national strategy that succeeds
“containment.” The assigned readings reflect an
array of interpretations and approaches to the
study of the history of U.S. foreign policy.
Although no “formal discussions” are
scheduled, students will be provided the
opportunity and encouraged discuss freely their
responses to and questions about these
interpretations during every class. In additions,
at least once each student will be required to
present a succinct oral summary of the
fundamental issues raised in the previous
session, and time will be allotted to examine
and dissect the distributed documents.

0180. Jewish Secularism/Jewish Civilization I
(3 s.h.)
Judaism is most often studied as a religious
entity, despite the fact that much of Jewish
experience does not fit into the rubric and
discourse of religion. This course will consider
the history of the concept “secularism” and it’s
development in modernity, and will then
consider what secularism has meant for Jews in
particular. This is the first course of a twosemester sequence. It treats the emergence of
Judaism and Jewishness in the modern world,
up to the 20th century. Students will be
introduced to recent critical work on the
construction of “Religion” in the Enlightenment
and with it, the “secular/religious” binary. The
course will historicize and contextualize the
ways that despite Jewish adherence to the
notion of Judaism as a religion in the West in
the modern period, Jewishness has always
exceeded the bounds of this definition. Building
on recent work by Baird, Pellegrini and
Jakobsen as they rethink “secularism” for the
21st century, students will be asked to rethink
Jewish history in other than religious terms.
This new conceptual material will provide the
framework for reading the classic texts of
modern Jewish thought produced up to the end
of the nineteenth century.
0181. Jewish Secularism/Jewish Civilization II
(3 s.h.)
Judaism is most often studied as a religious
entity, despite the fact that much of Jewish
experience does not fit into the rubric and
discourse of religion. This course will consider
the history of the concept “secularism” and it’s
development in modernity, and will then
consider what secularism has meant for Jews in
particular. This is the second course of a twosemester sequence. It covers the development of
Jewish though and community life of the 20th
century, starting with the massive wave of
Eastern European Jewish immigration that has
defined contemporary Judaism in America. We
will discuss issues such as: the presumption of
religious pluralism in America to the exclusion
of other forms of cultural and social
identification; and the roots of Yiddish Jewish
Secularism in Eastern Europe and how this
secular form of modern Jewish identification
was unable to adapt itself to American cultural
expectations about Jewishness as a religion.
Through a careful reading of this particular
secular Jewish movement and its demise in
America, students will be asked to reconsider
how contemporary notions of Jewishness as an
ethnicity, a culture, a politics and a way of life
continue to challenge dominant U.S. cultural
definitions of Judaism as a religion, definitions
that rely on Protestantism as the true model of “
religion.” Students will be asked to reconsider
how assimilation was played out in the West, in
the U.S. as well as Western Europe in terms of
religious toleration and the implications of this
failed assimilation for contemporary Jewish
practices of identification.

between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism, the
growth of neo-Nazism, and the complex
relationship between American Jews and
African Americans.
0237. Jews, America and Sports (3 s.h.)
While Jews are often seen as “the people of the
book” they are also a “people of the body.” This
course will locate sports in the history and
sociology of American Jewish life. The first
section will look at the history of Jews in
relationship to athletics and body image. The
course will then focus on the American
experience to understand sports in the American
context, looking not only at the major sports
that Jews have been involved with (Baseball,
boxing, basketball and track) but also how
immigration, urbanization, gambling,
assimilation, and anti-Semitism have played
roles in how Jews have been involved in sports.
We will examine questions about ethnicity and
race, gender (both masculinity and women’s
participation) and class, and the business of
sport. A third section will examine the arena of
international affairs, especially the 1936
Olympics, and the role of sports in Israel, and
the Israel-America relations as experienced
through U.S. participation in the Maccabiah
games. We will end by looking at sports in the

from the Song of Songs, through the golden age
of Spain, Hebrew poetry in Italy, the
Enlightenment, revival period, and Israeli
literature. Among the themes will be great
expectations, happiness and unity, and the
happy hell of withered love. Changes in style,
form, and content will be emphasized and
recurring symbols will be discussed.

W342. Independent Study in Jewish Studies
(3 s.h.) F S SS. Core: WI.
Intensive study under individual guidance in a
specific area suggested by the student and
approved by the faculty advisor from the Jewish
Studies faculty.
Note: Capstone course. This course is required for
all Jewish Studies majors. Special authorization
required for all students.
0360. Between the Torah and the Talmud
(3 s.h.)
Ancient Jewish history is usually narrated as if
Jew went directly from Torah to Talmud, with
nothing in between. Such an account privileges
the authoritative religious developments and the
leadership first, of the priests who collated the
core of the Torah, and second, of the early
Rabbis, who collated the Mishnah, the earliest
strata of the Talmud. This course explores the
explosive and intriguing history between these
two religious moments, and in doing so, rejects
the religious chronology as the basis of
historiography. The history and textual materials
from these periods in Jewish History raise many
of the perennial themes that have come to
inform Jewish social life over the centuries. In
fact, during this period in which Jews first
become Jews, these issues arise for the first
time: exile, political decentralization,
disagreements between Jews about what
constitutes the parameters of the Jewish
community; peoplehood, nation, and the
boundaries of group identity, intermarriage,
conversion, and the movement of Jewish
identity from a territory-based definition to an
ethnic definition, to a definition based in piety.
