Win 09	13001	12	Hist of European Civ 1	Griggs, Tamara	"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.

Themes receiving particular attention include the crisis of the old rural order, international factor mobility (including migration), urbanization and "municipal socialism", the rise of the professions and the new middle class, the demographic and schooling transitions, the economic and social impact of business cycles, the world wars, and mass movements, the evolution and so-called crisis of the welfare state, and the social policies of the European Union.

Win 09	26304	01	Literature and Society in Brazil	Borges, Dain	This course surveys the relations between literature and society in Brazil, with an emphasis on the institution of the novel in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The nineteenth-century Brazilian novel, like the Russian novel, was an arena in which intellectuals debated, publicized and perhaps even discovered social questions. We will examine ways in which fiction has been used and misused as a historical document of slavery and the rise of capitalism, of race relations, of patronage and autonomy, and of marriage, sex and love. We will read works in translation by Manuel Antonio de Almeida, José de Alencar, Machado de Assis, Aluísio de Azevedo and others.

Win 09	27006	01	Not Just the Facts: Writing 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 tenison between contemporary demands for truthfulness and the rejection of "truth".

Win 09	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.

Win 09	28502	01	Beginning After the End: Reconstruction in Post-Catastrophic Societies	Stansell, Christine	In the twentieth century, political violence has led to mass disasters with increasing frequency. This course examines how people rebuild and reorganize families, communities, and nations after disasters which decimated their societies beyond recognition; and how outsiders aid workers, relief organizations, armies, observers have helped and how they ve hindered. The course addresses questions of human rights, justice, politics, social bonds, memory, policy and international relations in a historical framework. We will begin by considering Jewish survivors after World War II. We will then examine the two catastrophes of genocidal violence and their aftermaths: Cambodia, where the Khmer Rouge murdered one-quarter of the population in 1975-78; and Rwanda, where Hutu extremists set off a genocidal campaign that killed 800,000 people, the majority of them Tutsi, in 1994.
Win 09	29302	01	Human Rgts 2: History & Theory of Human Rights	Sparrow, J & Geyer, M	This course is concerned with the theory and the historical evolution of the modern human rights regime and especially the international human rights regime after 1945. It discusses the emergence of a modern "human rights" culture as a product of the formation and expansion of the system of nation-states and the concurrent rise of value-driven social mobilizations. It juxtaposes these Western origins with competing non-Western systems of thought and practices on rights. The course proceeds to discuss human rights in two prevailing modalities. First, it explores rights as protection of the body and personhood and the modern, Western notion of individualism entailed therein. Second, it inquires into rights as they affect groups (such as ethnicities, and potentially, transnational corporations) or states.
