Win 12	10102	01	African Civ 2	Cole, Jennifer	African Civilization introduces students to African history in a two-quarter sequence. Part One considers literary, oral, and archeological sources to investigate African societies and states from the early iron age through the emergence of the Atlantic World: cases studies include the empires of Ghana and Mali, and Great Zimbabwe. The course also treats the diffusion of Islam, the origins and effects of European contact, and the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Part Two takes a more anthropological focus, concentrating on Eastern and Southern Africa, including Madagascar. We explore various aspects of colonial and postcolonial society. Topics covered include the institution of colonial rule, ethnicity and interethnic violence, ritual and the body, love, marriage, money, youth and popular culture. This course sequence meets the general education requirement in civilization studies. Completion of the general education requirement in social sciences recommended. Taking these courses in sequence is recommended but not required.

Win 12	13001	08	Hist of European Civ 1	Lyons, David	"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.

Placing their achievements in historical context, we examine how they shaped what would become the modern scientific enterprise.
Win 12	18301	01	Colonizations 1	Fransee, Emily	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.
Win 12	18301	02	Colonizations 1	Leighton, Mary	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.

Win 12	20106	01	Jews and Blacks: History, Imagination and Cultural Interactions	Heller, Darryl	This course will explore the relationship between Blacks and Jews in the United States from a historical and cultural perspective. We will look at Blacks and Jews, both as individual groups and as groups in interaction with one another within the dominant Anglo-Christian society in which they found themselves. The emphasis of the course will be to examine these two minority groups, each of which has played a significant role in shaping American culture and identity, from the vantage point of key historical moments in which their interests converged as well as diverged. The course will also explore various aspects in which the unique culture of each group intersected and influenced the other. We will accomplish this by looking at primary source documents and historical essays and narratives, as well as by sampling musical influences across genres, film and cinematic representations and imaginings, and through fiction and nonfiction writings. Although this course is not meant to be an exhaustive study of Black/Jewish relations, it does aim to interrogate central questions that have been part of the broader dialogue that Blacks and Jews have shared internal to their own communities, between the communities, and with the dominant American culture.
Win 12	22406	01	Jewish Hist and Society II	Auslander, Leora	This quarter will focus on the history of European Jewry from the late 17th century to the mid-19th. Of particular concern will be the debates around Emancipation and the consequences of its early application in Western Europe and late in the Central and Eastern Europe. Making substantial use of the textual and visual materials held in Special Collections at Regenstein Library, we will explore the major issues of the period: transformations in religious practice including Hassidism; the Jewish Enlightenment; 19th century reform movements. We will be equally concerned with dynamics and consequences of social mobility and changing forms of discrimination. Attention will be paid to Jewish participation overseas exploration and settlement, including the communities in the Caribbean and North and South America.
Win 12	22707	01	Britain's Industrial Revolution	Albritton Jonsson, Fredrik	Why and how did Britain become the first industrial society?

Readings will include works by Pincus, O Brien, Mokyr, Berg, Wrigley, Pomeranz, de Vries, Macfarlane, Horn, Brewer, Ashworth, and Warde.
Win 12	22902	01	Renaissance Humanism	Gray, Hanna	The course will concentrate on the development and varieties of Renaissance humanism from the late fourteenth to the mid-sixteenth centuries, with special attention to the ways in which the humanists brought classical thought and ancient history to bear on their ideas of the good state and the reform of the social order.
Win 12	23302	01	Europe, 1815-1914	Craig, John	This is the second installment of a three-quarter sequence, which surveys the history of Europe from the era of its greatest hegemony in the world to the eve of World War I. Themes considered include industrialization; the revolutions of 1848; the formation and consolidation of modern nation-states; the rise and travails of political liberalism and laissez faire; the spread of socialism in its various guises; international rivalries, alliances, and imperialism; and the causes, character and effects of World War I.
Win 12	23410	01	Modern Mediterranean History	Kozakowski, Michael	This course will examine developments within the Mediterranean basin since Napoleon s Egyptian expedition of 1798. As a case study in the methodologies of transnational history, it will analyze relationships across and between states, the activities of non-state actors, and the different ways historical actors, themselves, conceptualized unity and difference in the Mediterranean region. Topics include the competition for influence in the Ottoman Empire; the creation and dissolution of European colonial empires; race and identity; trans-Mediterranean migration; literary, artistic, and academic uses of Mediterranean imagery; and recurring attempts to promote cooperation within the Mediterranean, including the recent Union for the Mediterranean. The readings for the course span the breadth of the Mediterranean, from Morocco to Turkey, with a particular focus on the relationship between France and Algeria.
Win 12	23510	01	The Arts of Language in the Middle Ages: The Trivium	Fulton, Rachel	Throughout the Middle Ages, formal instruction in the liberal arts began with the study of language: grammar, including the study of literature as well as the practical mastery of the mechanics of language (here, Latin); rhetoric, or the art of speaking well, whether to praise or persuade; and logic or dialectic, whether narrowly defined as the art of constructing arguments or, more generally, as metaphysics, including the philosophy of mind. In this course, we will be following this medieval curriculum insofar as we are able through some of its primary texts, many only recently translated, so as to come to a better appreciation of the way in which the study of these arts affected the development of medieval European intellectual and artistic culture.
Win 12	24003	01	The Russian Empire, 1700-1917	Hillis, Faith	This class provides a historical overview of the Russian empire, its role in the world, and its people from the reign of Peter the Great to the collapse of the Old Regime in 1917. Topics to be discussed include: autocracy and the tradition of reform from above; techniques of imperial expansion; Russia s relations with its neighbors and rivals; class, estate, religious and ethnic identities; the role of ideology in high politics and everyday life; the relationship between imperial officials and subjects; and the causes and consequences of the empire s ultimate demise.
Win 12	24205	01	China in Revolution, 1927-1976	Eyferth, Jacob
Win 12	24209	01	Imaging Environment in East Asia	Long, Hoyt	This course explores some of the ways that nature and environment have been narrated, aestheticized, conceptualized, and exploited in East Asia, with specific emphasis given to Japan and China. We begin with basic questions of what it is to imagine environment and one's relation to it: What gets included in the concept and what gets left out? How has the idea of "environment" been imagined historically in East Asia? What we can learn about our own perceptions of the non-human world by studying those that belong to other times and places? To get at these questions, we will be looking at ethical and religious attitudes toward nature as fond in traditional philosophical thought(Buddhism, Confucianism); changing literary responses to the natural world; the rise of environmental awareness in Japan and China: the social and human impact of industrial pollution; popular practices of environmentalism (eco-tourism, conservation); and the imagining of environmental futures. Materials will be drawn from literature, science, sociology, history, philosophy, environmental policy, and film. All readings in English.
Win 12	24306	01	The Achaemenid Persian Empire	Mikolajczak, Tytus	The Achaemenid Persian Empire covered most of the territory of the modern Middle East (including modern-day Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, as well as Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt and Turkey), and ruled these lands for around two hundred years (ca. 550-330 BC). Despite the important role, which Persian Empire held in that time, it is surprisingly poorly known by non-experts. In modern popular culture it is usually associated with Greek struggle against Persians in the 5th century BC (as reflected by numerous books and movies on Persian Wars), as well as with Alexander the Great s conquests. However, the picture of the Persian Empire in the popular culture is largely distorted by numerous stereotypes and prejudices, an effect of centuries dominated by the Greek-oriented vision of ancient history. Therefore, the popular knowledge on Persian Empire, if any, is usually largely incorrect. The present course is designed to convey the up-to-date knowledge on the history, culture, and achievements of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. The course is dedicated to undergraduate students without previous knowledge or background in ancient history, or history of the ancient Near East. As one of the goals, the course will deal with stereotypes and incorrect ideas on the Persian Empire, presenting in accessible way the present state of research. After finishing the course, the student should have a basic understanding of the most important events of the Achaemenid period, knowledge of the most important figures connected with its history, as well as familiarity with Achaemenid art and culture. The course will make extensive use of the collection of the Oriental Institute Museum, which has one of the largest collections of the Achaemenid Persian art in the U.S.

Win 12	25010	01	Central Problems in the Philosophy of Biology	Bloch, Corinne	This course will address central issues in philosophy of biology. We will begin by discussing the nature of evolutionary theory, focusing on issues of adaptation, selection vs. drift, units of selection and the concept of species. We shall then look into some central ideas in the philosophy of science--such as reduction and laws--and examine their application in biology. Last we will discuss casual concepts such as mechanism, function and teleology. The format of the course will be short lectures followed by presentations by students and discussion.
Win 12	25207	01	Individual, Mass, State:The Crisis of the Subject in the Weimar Republic	McCormick, James	This course will examine the changing status of the individual subject under the political, social, and cultural pressures of the Weimar Republic. Through readings of political, philosophical, and literary texts from the Weimar era, it will investigate whether the "individual" is still a valid cultural concept in modernity, to what extent the mass has replaced the individual in cultural self-understanding, and what forms of politics arise when these questions are posed. The course will engage with the competing intellectual and political discourses surrounding the rise of European fascism generally and National Socialism in particular. Readings will include selections from Ernst Jünger, Oswald Spengler, Sigmund Freud, Georg Lukács, Siegfried Kracauer, Carl Schmitt, Adolf Hitler, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Stefan George, Gottfried Benn, and Robert Musil.
Win 12	25307	01	History and Historiography of Science	Johns, Adrian	Science poses particular problems of historical understanding because it claims to reveal truths independent of human culture and historical change. Yet scholars have argued for decades that both the enterprise of science and, indeed, scientific knowledge itself can be accounted for historically. Since World War II a thriving discipline has arisen to pursue this objective. It has transformed our understanding of such central topics as the practice of experiment, the social meaning of nature, and the constitution of scientific authority. History and Historiography of Science offers an opportunity to see how historians of science have achieved this. We will read both canonical works and new research, in order to understand how they practice their craft of bringing history to bear on what seems the most unhistorical of subjects.

Win 12	25804	01	Islamic History and Society 2	Woods, John	The continuation of Islamic History and Society 1 and presumes a familiarity of early Islamic history, 600-1000. This course covers the period from roughly 1000 to 1750 and deals with, among other topics, the coming of the steppe people (Turks and Mongols), the Mongol successor states, and the rise of the great early modern Islamic states (Ottomans, Safavids, and Mughals).
Win 12	26208	01	History of Gender and Sexuality in Modern Latin America	Manzano, Valeria	How did gender relations and sexuality change over time in Latin America? How were gender relations and sexuality connected with race, ethnicity, and social standing? How did they influence the ways in which working- and middle- class women and men experienced their everyday life, or engaged with projects of social, political, and cultural change? These are some questions that we will explore in this class, which aims at introducing the major themes that cut across the history of gender and sexuality in modern Latin America. We will analyze a variety of primary sources including memoirs, films, posters, and oral transcripts as well as major theoretical and historiographical works.
Win 12	26210	01	Latin American and Caribbean	Goncalves, Joas Felipe	This course examines classic Caribbean (and, to a lesser extent, Latin American) theorizations of race, using the fundamental concepts of mestizaje and négritude as thematic threads. These concepts, under different names, have structured classic Latin American and Caribbean social thought and represent two major ways of reacting to dominant Eurocentric racist ideologies: embracing and celebrating either racial and cultural hybridity (mestizaje) or racial and cultural African connections (négritude). This course allows students to read and discuss influential texts by Caribbean and Latin American intellectuals that have had a strong public impact in their region and beyond. After examining readings from continental Latin American writers that give a historic and theoretical context to the Caribbean works, the course provides a critical discussion of different statements on hybridity and négritude by major thinkers from the Spanish-, English- and French-speaking Caribbean. Major overlapping themes will be the role of mestizaje and négritude ideologies in nationalism and anti-colonialism, and their relationship to politics, class, and capitalism. While situating thinkers from this world area in their social and political contexts, providing the students with a historical overview of how race has been theorized in the Caribbean, the course treats these thinkers not as mere objects of study, but as legitimate intellectual interlocutors.
Win 12	26215	01	Independence and Revolution in Chile, Argentina, and Mexico	Jocelyn-Holt, Alfredo	The course will analyze three very different case studies of Independence and their subsequent institutional consolidation on the basis of three key variables: the Ancien Régime and its colonial projection well beyond the 1810s, the revolutionary character of Independence, and the historical protagonists involved (particularly elite groups). We shall be concerned with the discussion of the nature of Independence: whether or not it was a breaking point, and/or an open-ended programme. Especial consideration will be given to the qualitative differences between these three experiences and how each of them was unique in solving the institutional crisis produced by imperial collapse. Lastly, due attention will be given to national and recent historiographies and how they deal with the Independence period. The focus and discussion will center on interpretative analyses, use of concepts and categories, as well as classical (well-known) historiographical theses. This explains the choice of readings assigned and suggested.
Win 12	26500	01	Hist of Mexico, 1876-pres	Tenorio, Mauricio	From the Porfiriato and the Revolution to the present, a survey of Mexican society and politics, with emphasis on the connections between economic developments, social justice, and political organization. Topics include fin de siècle modernization and the agrarian problem; causes and consequences of the Revolution of 1910; the making of the modern Mexican state; relations with the United States; industrialism and land reform; urbanization and migration; ethnicity, culture, and nationalism; economic crises, neoliberalism and social inequality; political reforms and electoral democracy; the zapatista rebellion in Chiapas; and the end of PRI rule.
Win 12	26602	01	Mughal, India: Tradition and Transition	Alam, Muzaffar	Full Title: Mughal, India: Tradition and Transition This course will focus on the period of Mughal rule, from the late sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. This period exhibits signs of both continuity and change in relation to the earlier period of the Sultanate of Delhi, but there is also clear evidence of institutional change over the period of Mughal rule itself. The course will focus on some selected issues that have been at the centre of historiographical debate in the past decades. Some of the major texts on the basis of which Mughal legitimacy was defined and defended in the period will be discussed. The new efforts in the eighteenth century to define a stable basis for Mughal rule after the challenges posed from the outside and the provinces will be examined. The course will also deal with the role of language and religious traditions in Mughal politics, including the attempts in the period to translate scriptures and holy books of one tradition into another. Finally, there will also be an attempt to place the Mughal world in a wider context, in relation to Central Asia and Iran.
Win 12	26905	01	Orality, Literature and Popular Culture of Afghanistan and Pakistan	Perkins, Ryan	This course will examine some of the literary traditions emerging out of modern Afghanistan and Pakistan focusing on different regional representations. In addition we will explore popular culture through film and the arts. Through an examination of Persian, Balochi, Sindhi, Pashto, Urdu, Punjabi short stories, poems, and novels we will explore the influences of regional languages on each other and examine the contemporary place of regional languages and literatures in a world of national and global literatures. How do the different regional literary traditions fit in with the idea of a national literature and a national language? How have the modern nation states of Pakistan and Afghanistan attempted to promote language, literature and particular cultures? What is the historical connection between the state and the arts in the region? What role does literature and popular culture play in the consolidation of regional, national and global identities? We will cover a wide range of materials in this course, ranging from oral and literary narratives of resistance, to Sufism, to the short story and novel, to truck art, cinematic currents in the region and global representations of the region in film.
Win 12	27006	01	Not Just the Facts: Telling About the American South	Dailey, Jane	This course concerns itself with the various ways people who have striven to understand the American South, past and present, have both uncovered facts about the region and given them life. Main themes of the course include the difference between historical scholarship and writing history in fictional form; the role of the author in each, and consideration of the interstitial space of autobiography; the question of authorial authenticity; and the tension between contemporary demands for truthfulness and the rejection of "truth".
Win 12	27102	01	Lincoln: Slavery, War, and the Constitution	Hutchinson, Dennis	This course is a study of Abraham Lincoln's view of the Constitution, based on close readings of his writings, plus comparisons to judicial responses to Lincoln's policies.
Win 12	27114	01	Haitian Revolution & Human Rights	Saville, Julie	There have been two successful slave revolts in world history. One of them-which unfolded between 1791-1804 in the French colony of Saint Domingue(also variously referred to as San Domingo, Santo Domingo in English) on the western portion of the island that the Spanish had called Hispaniola (Espanola)--developed sufficient socio-political force-to form a new state government that its ex-slave founders called Haiti. This course explores the Haitian revolution as critical to the examination of slave emancipation colonialism, comparative revolutions, and postcolonial governance and sovereignty. It especially aims to explore interpretive debates that explicitly (or implicitly) link the problems of slave emancipation to the contradictions of modern freedom. Course readings draw on historical, anthropological, and political studies, selected published documents, and historical fiction to think critically about ways of extending how this history and its implications have been explored.
Win 12	27201	01	Evangelicalism in America	Brekus, Catherine	This course examines the history of American evangelicalism from its rise in the 18th century to the present. Besides discussing evangelical leaders such as Jonathan Edwards, Phoebe Palmer, Dwight Moody and Billy Graham, we will explore popular evangelical beliefs and practices. Topics include conversion, prayer, revivalism, apocalypticism, controversies over science, gender, the rise of Fundamentalism, and the emergence of the Religious Right.
Win 12	27403	01	Af-American Lives & Times	Holt, Thomas	This course will examine selected topics and issues in African-American history during a dynamic and critical decade, 1893 and 1903, that witnessed the redefinition of American national and sectional identities, social and labor relations, and race and gender relations. A principal premise of the course is that African American life and work was at the nexus of the birth of modern America, as reflected in labor and consumption, in transnational relations (especially Africa), in cultural expression(especially music and literature), and in the resistance or contestation to many of these developments. The course will focus on the Chicago World's Fair and the publication of Du Bois's Souls of Black Folk as seminal moments in the era. Our discussions will be framed by diverse primary materials, including visual and aural sources, juxtaposed with interpretations of the era by various historians. A principal goal of the course is that students gain a greater appreciation for interpreting historical processes through in-depth examination of the complex and multiple currents of an defined era-a slice of time--as well as skills in interpreting diverse primary sources.
Win 12	28406	01	19th Century Segment of the US Survey	Lippert, Amy	This course explores the social and cultural dimensions of major themes in nineteenth-century American life. Readings, discussions, and lectures will touch upon a range of topics, with some focus on white-Indian relations, slavery, immigration, labor relations, class formation, sectionalism and western expansion, reform movements, urbanization, popular and print culture, race relations, and the myriad ramifications of sweeping changes in market relations. The class will take at least one short trip to a relevant historical site in (or around) Chicago. Requirements include careful reading, active and thoughtful participation, and a series of short written assignments.
Win 12	28604	01	Law & Social Movements in Modern America	Dailey, Jane	This course traces and examines the relationship of law and social movements in the United States since 1865. We will examine how lawyers and ordinary citizens have used the law to support the expansion of social, political and economic rights in America. But we will also look at how the state and civic organizations have shaped and deployed law to criminalize the strategies of social reform movements and stifle dissent.
Win 12	28805	01	World's Fairs, 1851-1937: Chicago and Paris	Harris, Neil	The great era of world's fairs(or universal expositions) lasted about ninety years. Although this golden age originated in London, and found expression on every continent, two of its most significant hosts were Paris and Chicago. This course will examine the character and impact of expositions in these two cities, concentrating on Paris expositions held between 1855 and 1937, and the two Chicago fairs of 1893 and 1933. Particular attention will be given to the art and architecture featured, stimulated, and sometimes ignored by the fairs. But technological, racial, political, institutional, and social themes will be examined as well. This colloquium is meant to encourage creation of research papers. It will meet once a week and there will be heavy reliance upon images at each session.
Win 12	29302	01	Human Rgts 2: History & Theory of Human Rights	Sparrow, Jim	This course is concerned with the history and theory of the modern human rights regime. We will start with the present conundrum of human rights: a surfeit of human rights law, nationally and internationally, and an actual lack of rights for individuals and people; the proliferation of humanitarian activism and the suspicion that it will not alleviate misery and provide succor. The discussion of the present will lead us to wonder when, where, and for whom human rights and, for that matter, humanitarianism provide actual solutions to real-life problems and what these problems might be. We will also explore the passions that motivated people to pursue human rights and the empathy that led them to uproot injustice and what this passion did and did not achieve. The revolutionary challenges to national and international society in the late eighteenth and in the mid twentieth century will be the two pivots of this inquiry. But we will also spend a good deal of time wondering about the curious absence of human rights and in the midst of the proliferation of humanitarian good will in moments of imperialism. This, in turn, will gives us plenty of material to return to the present and to come to some informed conclusions, where we stand today in terms of human rights.
Win 12	29414	01	Human Rights in Africa:A History of Twentieth Century Articulations	Walker, Charlotte	This course is a survey (which would work well as a seminar) of the articulation of human rights by Africans. The contexts of these articulations include colonial as well as post-colonial regions and nation-states, and the articulators include state leaders as well as everyday Africans. The purpose of this course is to demonstrate the long history of human rights discourse among African societies as an indigenous discussion and debate that has taken place in Africa for as long as it has been engaging with the West in the modern age. Contemporary western intellectuals and political scientists often comment on the lack of a human rights debate taking place within African nations today, but an historical analysis reveals that in fact, political parties, government leaders, women s associations, trade unions, and other civil society organizations in Africa are constantly engaging with international human rights discussions (and have done so throughout the twentieth century) and now are appealing to global power networks of western governments and multi-lateral institutions to place human rights at the center of geopolitics. This course analyzes the history of these agents and the terms of their demands for human rights in Africa.
Win 12	29627	01	Hist Coll: Life Stories of Russian Women	Fitzpatrick, Sheila	A colloquium on the varieties and genres of women's life stories in twentieth-century Russia, embracing written autobiographies, memoirs, and diaries,a s well as autobiographical accounts offered in various public settings. The time span runs from the late Imperial period through the Soviet period (1917-1991) and post-Soviet period, and particular attention will be paid to the reconfiguration of individual and collective memory provoked first by cataclysmic events (the Bolshevik Revolution, the Soviet Union's collapse) and the organization of personal memory around collective traumatic experiences (the Civil War, the Great Purges,the Second World War). Required reading will be in English; knowledge of Russian is not required (though welcome).
