This course deals with the turbulent 1960s in America, a time period that still haunts the country today as it continues to grapple with issues that arose during that period: questions of race and ethnic diversity, women’s rights, sexual expression, and identity, street demonstrations, violence, foreign wars, distrust in government, climate and the environment, changing attitudes toward religion, and controversial presidents. Because much legacy, lore, and stereotypical images have arisen about that time, this course seeks to examine the “Long Sixties” – roughly, the period of time starting with the civil rights movement in 1955 and ending with the resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1973 – by studying several aspects of American life that underwent tremendous change during that time, as well as new features of American life that emerged for the first time. As such, the course will attempt to cut through all of the accumulated images we have of the 1960s today by looking mostly at primary sources that were produced during the 1960s themselves, rather than merely relying upon modern-day interpretations. The course adopts a “universal classroom” model that integrates different learning styles and formats and combines films, student-led discussions, lectures, and informal classroom discussions. The reading load is intense, and much of the knowledge that students will come away with about the 1960s will come through those readings. Throughout, the course challenges students to read and write effectively just as it pushes them to observe, listen, think, and research critically. NOTE: This course deals with a turbulent period of time that many Americans considered shocking, violent, and deviant. Most of the readings examined in this course are primary sources that were produced during that time. Some of them, as well as films we watch, contain profanity, racial slang, sex, and nudity; advocate drugs and revolution; discuss racial strife and violence; and depict war and its atrocities graphically. Students who have received credit for The Sixties as HIST 101 may not also receive credit for HIST 215. C21:DI, HC.

This course is a survey of the history of Western medicine beginning in classical times with Hippocrates and Galen and ending with contemporary debates over access to health care. Along the way, we will explore humoral medicine, pandemics such as the plague and Spanish flu, the Scientific Revolution, Vesalius’s breakthrough anatomy book, the international race to figure out blood flow, and the rise of germ theory. We will also investigate clinical breakthroughs in treatment, the revolution in surgery, advances in drug therapy, the professionalization of medicine, the development of hospitals and other healthcare delivery systems, and challenges confronting public health. In this course, students will: Learn about the chronological development of Western medicine and how it came to be the dominant approach to health and healing; acquire a basic understanding of the discipline of history, and come to understand that “doing” history requires developing arguments and supporting those arguments with arguments; “do” history by analyzing primary source documents as well as critiquing secondary source works and writing essays about such materials; gain experience in constructing essays that contain lucid and logical arguments supported by evidence; learn that medicine, like any other human enterprise, occurs in and is influenced by context, whether it is of the political, social, or religious variety and that such factors must always be taken into consideration. Students who completed this as HIST 100 may not enroll. C21:HC, HU.

This course will be a thematic and comparative historical study of changing social forces and conditions in Black U.S. life in three significant eras of the 20th century. The three major historical terrains under investigation will be Jim Crow America before 1950, the mid-century Black Freedom era, and 1980s America. Through a critical historical analysis of scholarly products and autobiographical material by various Black Americans, such as Ida B. Wells, Malcolm X, Angela Davis, Maya Angelou, and Barack Obama, the course will require students to analyze significant transformations and continuities of Black life in America and to assess their meanings for the broader U.S. society. The course will also be an introduction to the study of the past that asks students to think through the slippery nature and usefulness of both autobiographical works (memory records) and formal historical scholarship to society. Rather than memorize names, dates, and other timeline data, or survey a long record of happenings, the course will challenge students to consider that behind the events of the past are people thinking thoughts, making choices, taking actions, and in the process forming lives and societies; and sometimes those very individuals decide to determine for themselves an authoritative record for History. An enduring question of the course will be what historical value can one gain from individuals crafting narratives to make sense of themselves and their society?

The National Council of Public History defines Public History as "the many and diverse ways in which history is put to work in the world," but how and why is history 'put to work'? Is it limited to the products of museums, historical societies, and national monument workers? Could it encompass film, theatrical pieces, and street art? Who is the legitimate historian, and on what bases? The queries and debates inspired by Public History are often contentious and deeply connected to national memory and patriotism, concepts of heritage, and contemporary politics at the local and national levels. This course will push students to grapple with these questions as they work on a Public History project in the community. By the course's end, students will not only have a clear understanding of professional study and interpretation of the past—and its stakes—but also an introduction to new technical skills useful for anyone interested in public-facing careers involving the Humanities such as teaching, public policy, nonprofit work, or political office.

Beliefs about witchcraft are ubiquitous. Every society—even the most "enlightened" ones—have had episodes where the idea that certain people can harm others through supernatural means was manifested in deadly or embarrassing ways. This course will investigate the history of witchcraft from the ancient world up to the present day. Along the way, students will ponder the various theories of witchcraft as well as study how circumstances and theory sometimes intersected in horrific witch-hunts. Students will be challenged to put themselves into the shoes of people in the past and to recognize—without being judgmental—that witch beliefs had logic, even if that logic does not always make contemporary sense. As a result of this exploration, students should begin to recognize that the strands of witch beliefs that ran through the ancient and early modern worlds are still with us in the present day.

Women and gender relations in today’s China have experienced enormous changes, yet one may argue correctly that the legacy of Confucian China remains substantial and that tradition has continually undergone reinvention in our day in the context of globalization. This course examines the history of Confucian gender ideology, gendered cultural practices, and values; the late imperial and early republican change in the context of the rise of Chinese nationalism, the interactions with the rest of the world (i.e. Western influences), women under socialist rule and in the reform era. Thus, this course is composed of two relevant parts. First, to examine the ways in which Chinese society staged social/cultural environments to fashion women’s lives, we look at Confucian gender ideology and the family system. Second, to think critically about how changes have been made, we focus on three moments in history: late Qing China, Republican China, and Socialist China. Students have the opportunity to continue to understand the nature of primary and secondary sources and further apply their skills in writing a research paper (making knowledge of their own) by critically using sources gathered from archives, museums, and libraries. This project is divided into stages so that students have a working timetable to follow for better writing results. The class will also have the opportunity to incorporate feedback from the instructor and their peers into the writing during the semester. C21:HC,HU,NW,WA.

The Black Freedom Movement, a socio-political struggle for full citizenship and human rights in the United States that encompassed both Civil Rights and Black Power activism, transformed life in the nation in the latter half of the 20th century. The movement's social, political, and cultural activity 1954 to 1980 dismantled the "Jim Crow" segregation laws in the South. The movement also pressured communities nationwide to end their less formal "de facto" practices of racist discrimination. Black women spearheaded, directed, and sustained much of this era's political activism and theorizing, especially its intensive community organizing. The result was new social and political possibilities for many African Americans. Yet, Black women's leadership and fundamental contributions remain underemphasized in popular understandings of history. This course will examine scholarship and media that not only recovers women's activism of the Black Freedom Movement but recognizes the importance of their political theorizing, cultural productions, social organizing, and attempts at institution-building in the face of state violence, patriarchal headwinds, and longstanding disinvestment in and hostility toward Black American communities. This course will examine key figures including Ella Baker, Rosa Parks, Sonia Sanchez and Angela Davis within their community contexts, as well as groups and organizations such as the SNCC, Third World Women's Collective, and Combahee River Collective.

In 1500 most of Europe officially subscribed to one brand of Christianity, the one articulated by the Catholic Church in Rome. The events of the 16th century, the so-called “Iron Century,” demonstrated that the ties that bound the Church, societies, and people could be, and in many cases, broken.
