Aut 11	13001	01	Hist of European Civ 1	Tazzara, Corey	"European Civilization" is a two-quarter sequence designed to introduce students to the nature and history of European civilization from the early middle ages to the twentieth century. It complements parallel sequences in ancient Mediterranean, Byzantine, Islamic, and American civilizations, and may be supplemented by a third quarter designed to expand a student's understanding of European civilization in a particular direction. Emphasis will be placed throughout on the recurring tension between universal aspirations and localizing boundaries, and on the fundamental rhythms of tradition and change. Method consists of close reading of primary sources intended to illuminate the formation and development of a characteristically European way of life in the high middle ages; the collapse of ecclesiastical universalism in the early modern period; and the development of modern politics, society, and culture in the centuries to follow. Individual instructors may choose different sources to illuminate those themes, but some of the most important readings will be the same in all sections.

Aut 11	17602	01	Introduction to Asian/ Pacific Islander American History	Briones, Matthew	Looking through a broad interdisciplinary lens, this course will examine the trajectory of Asians and Pacific Islanders in America. How did 19th- and early-20th-century sojourners become citizens ? What constituted the public s shift in perception of Asians from unassimilable alien to ostensible model minority ? We will interrogate not only what it means to have been and to be an Asian in America but also what role Asian Americans have played in striving for a multiracial democracy. Conscious of the tendency to homogenize all Asians in the historical imagination, the course will be explicitly comparative, incorporating the diverse and disparate experiences of East, Southeast, and South Asians, as well as Pacific Islanders in America. We will also investigate and compare the histories of African Americans, Native Americans, ethnic whites, Latinas/os, and Arab Americans to highlight the Asian American experience.
Aut 11	17806	01	Black Paris: Race, Culture, and Politics in the City of Light, 1917-1974	Moore, Celeste	The sojourns of African Americans in Paris are familiar in both American and French history. The experiences of Josephine Baker, Richard Wright, and James Baldwin have become symbols of cosmopolitan black identity, French colorblindness, and European cultural superiority. Yet this simple story belies a more complicated experience in Paris and struggles over the meaning of race, culture, and national identity. In fact, the reason that Paris has played such a unique role in the history of black internationalism is due to its centrality to twentieth-century cultural movements and a vast colonial empire. This course examines the intellectual, artistic, literary, political, and musical exchanges that brought together artists, writers, and intellectuals from the United States, overseas departments, and French territories. The course will examine iconic figures like Baker and Wright but also the lesser known artists, writers, students, and cultural intermediaries who made this period of fervent cultural energy possible. One of the central questions for the course will be whether dislocation from national frameworks created new conditions for the understanding of race and racism. Though spatially located in Paris, the course engages key problems in African-American history, French history, transnational studies, and the history of race and racism: the myth of a colorblind France, anthropology and black culture, the categories of "expatriate" and "immigrant," and finally, the meaning of diaspora.
Aut 11	18301	01	Colonizations 1	Saville, Julie	The course will approach the concept of "civilization" from an emphasis on cross-cultural and societal connections. We will explore the dynamics of conquest, slavery, and colonialism and their reciprocal relationships with concepts such as resistance, freedom, and independence with an eye toward understanding their interlocking role in the making of the modern world. The first quarter (Colonizations I) will take slavery, colonization, and the making of the Atlantic world as its central thematic. The second quarter (Colonizations II) will take colonization as its theme, with emphasis on Asia and the Pacific. It will start with a consideration of the pre-modern Arab and Chinese empires and then turn to European and Japanese colonialism (and decolonization) in Asia. The course will be taught as a two-quarter sequence. Students must take both quarters.
Aut 11	18301	02	Colonizations 1	Jean-Baptiste, Rachel	This course is the first part of a two-quarter core sequence that explores the centrality of colonialism to the making of the modern world. Rather than treating contemporary geohistorical units such as Europe, Africa, Asia or the Americas as having separate histories that have only recently come to converge through processes of globalization, this course places emphasis on a long-time perspective of crosscultural interactions and societal connections. Readings and discussions consider the changing dynamics of conquest, enslavement, and colonial rule and their reciprocal relationships to resistance, freedom, and projects of self-determination. The first quarter (Colonizations 1) takes slavery, colonization, and the making of the Atlantic world as its central thematic. The second quarter (Colonizations II) emphasizes colonization in Asia and the Pacific, giving special attention to the pre-modern Arab and Chinese empires and European and Japanese colonialism. An optional third-quarter considers decolonization in Asia and Africa.
Aut 11	19800	01	Medv'l Women's Relig Writing	Pick, Lucy	The purpose of this course is to read different types of writing on religion by medieval women in order to investigate the relationship between gender and genre. We will consider hagiography, letters, autobiography, theology, didactic treatises, and visionary writing by individuals like Baudonivia, Hildegard of Bingen, Heloise, Christine de Pisan, and Teresa of Avila.
Aut 11	20005	01	Colonial African History	Osborn, Emily	In the late nineteenth century, European powers embarked on an ambitious effort to conquer and occupy the African continent. This course considers the conditions that enabled the European Scramble for Africa and the long-lasting consequences of that project. Primary sources, secondary texts, and fiction will present students with various perspectives on the experiences and effects of colonialism. Case studies will be drawn from French West Africa, Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya.
Aut 11	20403	01	Aristophanes	Hall, Jonathan	We will read in Greek Aristophanes' Lysistrata, a play whose timeless popularity often overshadows the fact that it was produced during a particularly menacing period of Athens history. Students will prepare translations for class on Mondays and Wednesdays while Fridays will be devoted to discussions, based on secondary readings, that will include staging issues, the function of political comedy, and the potential uses of Aristophanes plays as historical evidence.
Aut 11	20701	01	Who Were the Greeks?	Hall, Jonathan	If the current resurgence of interest in ethnic studies is a direct reflection of a contemporary upsurge in ethnic conflict throughout the world, it remains the case that notions of peoplehood and belonging have been of periodic importance throughout history. This course will study the various expressions of Greek identity within shifting political, social and cultural contexts from prehistory to the present day, though with a strong emphasis on classical antiquity. Particular attention will be given to theoretical issues such as anthropological definitions of ethnicity, the difference between ethnic and cultural identities, methods for studying ethnicity in historical societies, and the intersection of ethnicity with politics.

Readings are drawn from classics of military history in historical context.
Aut 11	22113	01	Jewish Hist and Society 1	Rekhess, Elie	Full Course Title: Jewish History and Society 1:The Nascent State of Israel:Identity, Nation-Building, and Ethnicity This course discusses the question of National Identity. It is being explored through an analysis of the Proclamation of Independence, a discussion of the debate between different schools of the historians regarding narratives pertaining to the establishment of the State of Israel ( Post Zionists ; New Historians ); and an overview of the inherent tension between the Jewish-religious outlook and the democratic liberal values, as it emerged un the nascent State of Israel.
Aut 11	23305	01	Europe, 1660-1815	Goldstein, Jan	This is the first installment of a three-quarter sequence, which offers a general introduction to the processes and events that constituted the passage to modernity in Europe: monarchical absolutism as a means to state-building on the Continent and its parliamentary alternative in Britain; the intellectual and cultural transformations effected by the Enlightenment, including the creation of a liberal public sphere; the French Revolution and its pan-European implications; the rise of the laissez-faire market and the Industrial Revolution; the emergence of feminism and socialism. The course will be conducted primarily by means of lectures. Readings will include both primary and secondary sources.

Aut 11	26113	01	Culture, Politics, and Sexuality in the Latin American 1960's	Manzano, Valeria	From Ernesto Che Guevara s victory alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba in 1959 to the military coup d état against President Salvador Allende in Chile in 1973, the Latin American long sixties were suffused by a feeling of imminence, of change about to happen . This seminar will explore how cultural, political, and sexual change was imagined and shaped. Using a diverse collection of secondary and primary sources including songs, film clippings, and posters this seminar will examine the themes of guerrilla insurgency, student protest, youth counterculture, military repression, and US interventionism during this transformative era.

Aut 11	26508	01	A Transnational History of Youth in the 20th Century	Manzano, Valeria	In her comparative study of Fascist Italy and the United States in the 1950s, historian Luisa Passerini noted that youth served as a metaphor for change. In these and other settings, yet, young men and women were also historical actors in their own right: they propelled, shaped, and embodied cultural, political, and sexual change. This seminar will explore how and why youth, as a concept, and young people, as cultural and political actors, gained ascendancy throughout the twentieth century. In doing so, we will seek to unravel the connections between youth and modernity, drawing on case studies not only from Western Europe and North America but also from Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
Aut 11	27705	01	Introduction to Black Chicago, 1893-2008	Green, Adam	This course surveys the history of African Americans in Chicago, from before the 20th century to the present. In referring to that history, we treat a variety of themes, including: migration and its impact, origins and effects of class stratification; relation of culture and cultural endeavor to collective consciousness, rise of institutionalized religions, facts and fictions of political empowerment, and the correspondence of Black lives and living to indices of city wellness (service, schools, safety, general civic feeling). This is a history class that situates itself within a robust interdisciplinary conversation. Students can expect to engage works of autobiography and poetry, sociology, documentary photography, and political science as well as more straightforward historical analysis. By the end of the class, students should have grounding in Black Chicago's history, as well as an appreciation of how this history outlines and anticipates Black life and racial politics in the modern United States.

Aut 11	29626	01	Hist Coll: Sex and the City in International History	Jean-Baptiste, Rahcel	This course explores the theories, methods, and sources to write a transnational history of the erotic city. Focusing on Africa and Latin America, this course examines comparative histories of sexuality, gender, and urban geography. The late nineteenth and twentieth centuries witnessed the phenomenal growth of cities across the globe. As women and men created urban spaces, societies debated how sexual mores were to be experienced, regulated, and spatialized. The course explores urbanization in this historical moment as intersecting with colonialism, the expansion of capitalism, and decolonization. Topics to be explored include: miscegenation and race; prostitution; marriage and the law; labor and class; the body, sexual, and reproductive health; and homosexuality. Materials will include theoretical and empirical texts, fiction, legislation and court records, newspaper articles, and visual sources. Course readings encompass social, cultural, economic, and legal history. Students will produce an original research paper based on course themes. Reading knowledge of French, Spanish, or Portuguese is useful, but not required.
