Everywhere women were subordinated to men. London was the world’s financial capital. Life expectancy for Americans, among the healthiest populations, averaged 46.3 years for men, 48.3 years for women. Since the defeat of Napoleon I at Waterloo in 1815 wars had been short and casualties limited, save for internal conflicts in China and the US. It was far from the world we know now. This course will explore and seek to account for the changes that have occurred since then and which shaped the world of the 20th century.

Those enrolled in History 251 will bring a historical perspective to their coursework. The course is divided into 3 major sections. First, we ask “What is a documentary?” John Grierson, recognized by many as the “father of documentary” suggests that documentary is the “the creative treatment of actuality.” We will explore that definition, and others, as we lay groundwork to examine the cultural, social, legal, and ethical considerations inherent in all documentary production. We will then look at specific documentary forms, their history, best examples, notable characteristics, and key practitioners. Finally we will examine some of the major themes in documentary work across forms and genres- in print, photography, film/video, audio, and hypermedia/multimedia while also considering how technological innovation has shaped the work of the documentarian over time. This is not a production course. It is a readings course that is heavily based on class and group discussions utilizing TBL (team based learning) and on-line components through Blackboard. * * * * * * * Page 10 * * * * * * * * * * Last Updated June 22, 2017 HIS 259 (8618) (3crs) History of Women and Social Change L.

First, it will introduce students to the major fields within public history. More importantly, we will examine the relationship between public history, American culture, and popular memory. Students considering public history careers should find this dual approach useful. The ultimate aim of this course is to help you to understand what public historians do and inspire you to become imaginative and effective public historians in the future. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * HIS 333 (9017) (3crs) American Identity since the Civil War C. Bon Tempo ([email protected]) Tue, Thu 1:15pm-2:35pm ES 241 This course examines how and why different Americans living during the twentieth century conceived of their nation’s identity. In other words, we will explore how Americans have answered the question: “Who is an American?” Two suppositions form the foundation of the class. First, national identity is historically contingent and fluid. Second, conceptions of national identity often reflected the political, economic, social, cultural, racial, and gendered dynamics of U.S. society. I recommend that students take either U.S. history survey or a course in twentieth century American history before enrolling in this course. Students will read about 100 pages a week (books, primary sources, and articles) and assignments will include discussion participation, exams, and a paper. * HIS 390/390Z (8260/4406) (3/4crs) B.

We will explore the key political, social and cultural transformations that shaped this period, including the reaction to the perceived excesses of the 1960s; the fall of the liberal order and the New Deal coalition; economic downturn and restructuring; the decline of American hegemony on the world stage; the oil crisis of 1973 and 1974; the disillusionment, skepticism and the “crisis of confidence” that marked the decade; race, rights and backlash; the rise of the women’s movement, gay rights, and an increasingly inclusive, yet diverse society; culture, music and film in the “me decade”; the rise of subcultures in the Seventies, including skate and punk; the sexual revolution; and the realignment of the political electorate that ultimately paved the way for Republican ascendancy, the New Right and Neoliberal policies in the 1980s. At the course end, we will gain deeper understanding of how these events shaped the course of American history at the twentieth century’s end. This is a “topics in American history” 300-level course, designed to meet the requirements for the AHIS 390 credit. The course may be repeated for credit when the content varies.

What is narrative, and what role does it play in conveying (nonfiction) historical contact to the public, whether in print, traditional, or new media? Are there more and less effective approaches to shaping historical stories from primary and secondary source materials? This course explores the use of narrative in books, films, and other works intended to present factual history to the general public. Students will learn to recognize and discuss structure, character, point of view, and conflict; develop tools for evaluating the historical materials (including archival materials) in their storytelling. Success in this course depends on reading, viewing and completing written assignments outside of class in preparation for inclass discussion and activities. This is not a production course. Prerequisite(s): None; junior or senior standing and completion of at least one U.S. history course strongly recommended. Team-based work and web-enhanced (Blackboard) work is likely.

The primary focus will be on the West and Europe, though we will also examine developments in other parts of the world to gain a comparative perspective and throw into clearer relief the distinctiveness of war and culture in the west. The history of armies, leaders, battles, and tactics and strategy will be among the important topics the course will cover, but we will also take seriously the social and cultural context that inform and shape these and other aspects of war. Accordingly, we will investigate a wide range of topics that intersect with war, including artistic expression, politics, national and ethnic identities, gender, the origins and nature of violence, the experience of combat among common soldiers, technological change, the role of civilians, the economy, and many others.

We will focus on a number of the major social, economic, institutional, and cultural developments that took place during this extended period, with a particular emphasis on the creation of a centralized government and the subsequently gradual, uneven transition from courtier to warrior rule that ultimately followed. In addition, students in this course are expected to learn not only about Japan, but also about what it means to actively engage in the study of history. To this end we will regularly draw upon a wide variety of primary sources in our classroom discussions, and participants will be required to closely analyze these materials and to consider their historical significance in light of the course’s larger themes. Thus, one of the overriding goals of this course is for students to develop and hone their reading and writing skills and to come away from this class with the recognition that a truly engaged study of history involves far more than simply memorizing the contents of a textbook in order to recite series of seemingly obscure names, dates, and events; rather, the study of history means thinking carefully and critically about the evidence used to make sense of the past.

Yet, in others, it is an area rich in human and environmental diversity. This course will explore both this unity, which has given rise to strong political, economic, social ties among the countries of the region, as well as this diversity, which includes the environmental divisions between the island and mainland worlds and between lowlands and uplands. This course asks what are the key transformations in political, economic, social, and religious life in Southeast Asia that have both united and divided this region over the past two hundred years. In addition to the internal developments, Southeast Asia has also taken part in key world trends ranging from colonialism to globalization, and this course will ask about the role of Southeast Asians and their lands in these processes. * HIS 497 (2-4 crs) ARR * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Independent Study in History (S/U graded) Directed reading and conferences on selected topics in history.

Students in the honors programs must satisfactorily complete both AHIS 495Z and 497Z in the fall semester, then 496Z in the spring. Successful completion of all three of these components of the History Department’s honors program will earn students the distinction of graduating “with honors in History”. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * History Honors College The World in the 20th Century THIS 158Z (9199) (3crs) S. Gauss ([email protected]) Tue, Thu 1 :15pm-2 :35pm ED 21 This course will examine important political, economic, cultural, and intellectual developments in world history in the twentieth century. The unifying theme of the course will be its focus on moments of contact and exchange between different regions of the world. We will analyze how the movement of people, ideas, militaries, commodities, disease, culture, and religion has contributed to increasing interdependence between world regions, including Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Europe and the United States. This is a writing intensive course, so students should expect to write multiple papers and essays. * * * * * * * Page 24 * * * * * * * * * * Last Updated June 22, 2017 DOCUMENTARY STUDIES PROGRAM DOC 251 (6112) (3crs) Introduction to Documentary Studies S. McCormick ([email protected]) Mon, Wed 2:45pm-4:05pm LC 03C *Cross Listed with HIS 251 (6052) As a required gateway course for the Documentary Studies major and minor, this course is about understanding the scope and nature of documentary work in the recent and distant past providing a foundation for future work in the major and minor. Those enrolled in History 251 will bring a historical perspective to their coursework. The course is divided into 3 major sections. First, we ask “What is a documentary?” John Grierson, recognized by many as the “father of documentary” suggests that documentary is the “the creative treatment of actuality.” We will explore that definition, and others, as we lay groundwork to examine the cultural, social, legal, and ethical considerations inherent in all documentary production. We will then look at specific documentary forms, their history, best examples, notable characteristics, and key practitioners. Finally we will examine some of the major themes in documentary work across forms and genres- in print, photography, film/video, audio, and hypermedia/multimedia while also considering how technological innovation has shaped the work of the documentarian over time. This is not a production course. It is a readings course that is heavily based on class and group discussions utilizing TBL (team based learning) and on-line components through Blackboard. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * DOC 390 (8284) (3crs) Topics in American History S. Curran Bernard ([email protected]) Tue, Thu 2:45pm-4:05pm LC 03B *Cross-Listed with HIS 390(9184) Narrative and Historical Media. What is narrative, and what role does it play in conveying (nonfiction) historical contact to the public, whether in print, traditional, or new media? Are there more and less effective approaches to shaping historical stories from primary and secondary source materials? This course explores the use of narrative in books, films, and other works intended to present factual history to the general public. Students will learn to recognize and discuss structure, character, point of view, and conflict; develop tools for evaluating the historical materials (including archival materials) in their storytelling. Success in this course depends on reading, viewing and completing written assignments outside of class in preparation for inclass discussion and activities. This is not a production course. Prerequisite(s): None; junior or senior standing and completion of at least one U.S. history course strongly recommended. Page 25 Last Updated June 22, 2017 Team-based work and web-enhanced (Blackboard) work is likely. Students who have taken a comparable HIS 390 in previous semesters with Prof. Bernard may not enroll (and will be un-enrolled) if the content is not sufficiently varied. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * DOC 390 (8286) (3crs) Topics in Documentary Studies J.

Nepaulsingh ([email protected]) Mon, Wed, Fri 1:40pm-2:35pm HU 24 This course aims to document how Jews and their descendants succeeded in preserving their culture (including their religious culture) as well as their secular identities (however they preferred to identify themselves) in a world in Latin America that promised to be new but that maintained many familiar prejudices of the Old World. The course is divided into three chronological sections, and it proceeds geographically by region in each section from Central America to South America through the islands of the Caribbean. Section one examines the Colonial Period (from 1492 to the beginning of Independence in 1810). Section two covers the period of Early Independence (from 1810 to the beginning of World War I). Section three deals with the 20th and 21st centuries. The readings for the course provide a cultural history of all periods, while the course lectures place emphasis on individual biographies that typify the main characteristics of each period. Only one version of AJST may be taken for credit. * * * JST 250 (9047) (3crs) A.
