	GOVT150C CM - Race, Gender and Identity in International Politics This course will expose students to theories of race, gender, and identity as they relate to two of the political science subdisciplines: International Relations and Comparative Politics. Students will deepen their overall understanding of the discipline and the applications of its tenets and theories; develop expertise on a select issue within the topic area; hone their research, analysis, and writing skills; be introduced to the nexus of academia and policy; and receive support and advice from professors and practitioners. Students will also learn to appreciate how each of the readings and guest speakers prioritizes different worldviews, depending on both disciplinary conventions and ideological standpoints. Prerequisites: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT150C CM
	GOVT151 CM - Maps and Politics How do maps affect politics, and vice versa? Maps fundamentally shape the way that we see our world and how we interact politically, economically, and socially, but maps are also shaped by political actors, interests, and institutions. This course will consider historical and contemporary issues that link maps and politics, including the connections between mapping and nation-states, colonialism, warfare, democratic politics, and indigenous rights. The course is suitable for all students with an interest in the topic. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT151 CM
	GOVT151C CM - Nations, Nationalism, and State-Building in the Middle East This course offers students an in-depth look at the emergence of nationalism and the processes of state building in the Middle East and North Africa. The first section of the course reviews seminal theoretical works and defines key concepts related to nations, nationalism and the technologies of state building. The second section of the course uses case studies from Middle Eastern countries to examine core issues related to nationhood, including: the relationship between nationalism and colonial legacies, religious nationalism, the failures of pan-Arab nationalism, diaspora nationalism, and the politics of nationalism in “state-less” societies. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT151C CM
	GOVT154 CM - Policymaking in International Organizations This course examines the nature, processes, and implications of official international organizations and their growing role in international affairs. How and why does multilateralism arise, what are the relationships between official international organizations and the member countries, how do they make decisions, what implications do these processes have on international cooperation and conflict? The course will focus largely on international economic organizations such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization, but will also focus on mutual security and environmental organizations. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT154 CM
	GOVT155 CM - Social and Political Change in Africa This seminar uses in-depth case studies of Burundi and Rwanda to understand deep dynamics of state-building, identity, development, and conflict in post-colonial Africa. The course is also interested in understanding agency-how people respond to these large processes, and how they find survival, meaning, and opportunity within them. Prerequisite: At least one other government/political science course, preferably GOVT 060 CM , Comparative Politics, or equivalent. Courses in sociology or anthropology also highly relevant. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT155 CM
	GOVT156C CM - War This course is a great books seminar on war. Students would be expected to read one book a week and then meet once weekly to discuss how the text illuminates the use of war as an instrument of politics, the evolution of warfare (perceptions, strategy, tactics, players, and technology), and the ethics of war. The books selected cover war from ancient times to modern as well as internal and international warfare. The course provides a comprehensive overview of war for students of international relations and for those interested in security studies more specifically. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT156C CM
	GOVT156E CM - War II: Film Innumerable excellent films have used depictions of war to examine politics, power dynamics, international relations, institutions, ethics, history, social evolution, leadership, identity, community, and human nature. This seminar course will rely on a combination of films, readings, and research to deeply examine these issues in light of contemporary international security. This course serves as a complement and supplement to War, but stands independently. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT156E CM
	GOVT157S CM - Special Topics in International Relations This course examines special topics in international relations. The topics will vary from year to year. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT157S CM

The course has two parts: readings in political philosophy, and readings in political history and biography that examine the lives of actual statesmen and leaders. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT160 CM
	GOVT161 CM - The Natural Law An inquiry into the idea of natural law as expounded and criticized by ancient, medieval, and modern political philosophers. Readings from Aristotle, Cicero, Aquinas, Hobbes, Kant, and others. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every third year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT161 CM
	GOVT162 CM - C.S. Lewis C.S Lewis was one of the most influential thinkers and writers of the 20th century. Though perhaps best known as a defender of Christianity in an increasingly secular world, his writings cover a wide range of ethical, religious, and political issues. In this course we will cover his contributions to the debates over moral relativism, religion and science, the problem of evil, public policy issues (such as pacifism, crime and punishment, democratic education, and the welfare state), and the relationship of science to political rule. Readings will include essays, several of his well-known short books, the third volume of his science fiction trilogy (That Hideous Strength), his deeply allegorical The Great Divorce, and writings by those on the side on these great debates. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT162 CM
	GOVT163 CM - Ending Slavery: The Democratic Statesmanship of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass This course will focus on the different ways two anti-slavery statesmen worked to end slavery within the constraints of a democratic society. Readings will be drawn primarily from the speeches and writings of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and their opponents.

	GOVT165C CM - Technology and Democracy This course evaluates the impact of technology on democracy through the lenses of political theory, political economy, and literature. Westerners have long regarded technological innovation as a facilitator of global democratic advancement. The last two decades have shattered this assumption, demonstrating technology’s capacity to exacerbate political polarization, to facilitate anti-competitive monopolies, and to ignite forces of illiberal populism. Abroad and at home, technology is empowering private and public actors to achieve levels of centralization, surveillance, and even censorship that were unthinkable in the past, while also eroding the Western consensus on freedom of speech, civility, and informed public debate. Prerequisite:GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT165C CM
	GOVT166 CM - Patriots and Demagogues This course explores theories and definitions of patriotism, statesmanship, and demagoguery through the lens of a series of case studies in American political history. By analyzing good and bad leadership in America’s past, students develop tools to judge modern officeholders. Major themes include institutionalism, populism, social movements, and change in American history. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT166 CM

Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every third year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT167 CM
	GOVT168 CM - Black Intellectuals: Debating Race in the Age of Obama In post-civil rights America racial inequality remains an enduring problem and source of controversy. This class explores that problem and controversy through the writings of the nation’s most influential black intellectuals. They include liberals, conservatives, and many iconoclasts who are not easily placed on any political spectrum. As these differences suggest, disagreements among our nation’s most prominent African American intellectuals run deep. They disagree, for example, over such fundamental questions as the significance of racism in modern America and the best means of achieving racial equality. Their varied perspectives have enriched and shaped our national conversation about race, and they continue to help all of us think more deeply about racial inequality-America’s most enduring social and political problem. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT168 CM
	GOVT169 CM - American Political Thought I This course will examine the emergence in America of revolutionary ideas about law and politics and their embodiment in wholly new forms of government.

Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every third year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT169 CM
	GOVT170 CM - American Political Thought II This course will examine the transformation of the American idea of natural rights and natural law under the influence of Social Darwinism, Progressivism, and Pragmatism, as well as the emergence of modern American liberalism and conservatism in their distinctive modes.

Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every third year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT170 CM
	GOVT171 CM - From Theocracy to Democracy This course will examine the historical conditions and theoretical presuppositions of modern secular society, or how democratic principles came to replace theological claims as the basis for political legitimacy in the Western world. Readings will be drawn from the Bible, Luther, Calvin, Hobbes, Locke, Montesquieu, Thomas Jefferson, Mirza Abu Talib Khan, Tocqueville, U.S. Supreme Court cases, and contemporary writings concerning modernization and democracy in the Islamic world. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT171 CM
	GOVT171C CM - Religion and Liberalism: Enlightenment Approaches to Comparative Constitutional Secularism This course offers students an engagement with the major debates in political philosophy and constitutional practice over religion, liberalism, and secularism. Major themes include Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment debates over religious church establishment, toleration, and official state secularism; multiculturalism and religious immigration in the EU; and comparative constitutionalism and secularism in an era or religious revival and globalization. Readings include Enlightenment thinkers such as Hobbes and Locke, contemporary political theory (John Rawls), and theories of multiculturalism and religious revival and migration in Western liberal democracies.

Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT172 CM
	GOVT173C CM - Russian Politics This course provides an in-depth study of Soviet and post-Soviet Russian politics. The course begins with an analysis of the Communist system and analyzes the nature of the regime, its sources of legitimacy and sustenance, and the reasons for the system’s decline. The course then examines Russia’s post-Soviet period in order to understand the successes and failures within political and economic liberalization. In this course, we will examine the transformation of political institutions, national identities, and economic systems that followed from the collapse of the Soviet system. While this course reviews the main historical events in Russian politics, the main focus of the course is to evaluate Russian political developments within the context of theories in political science on democratization, national identity, and the role of ideology in political and economic regime change. The course concludes with a special focus on Russian energy politics and the evolution of Russian foreign policy toward Eastern Europe and the “Near Abroad.” Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT173C CM
	GOVT174 CM - Topics in Political Philosophy A topic of enquiry will be chosen to reflect current challenges and concerns in the field of political philosophy. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT174 CM
	GOVT174C CM - Politics, Philosophy, and War: Xenophon’s Political Philosophy Xenophon, like Plato, was a student of Socrates. But Xenophon led a more active life, traveling to Persia where he became general of an army of Greek mercenaries. This practical bend is reflected in the Anabasis, describing his adventures in Persia, and the Education of Cyrus, an account of how to conquer the world that earned Machiavelli’s approval. Yet Xenophon also wrote the Memorabilia, a work devoted to a consideration of Socrates and his more contemplative way of life. This class will consist of a close reading of these works with particular attention to the tension between the political and philosophic life. Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT174C CM
	GOVT175C CM - Psychoanalysis and Politics This course examines how the discipline of psychoanalysis can prove useful in the understanding of political behavior and political thinking. Concern with the relation between psychological investigation and political activity has a long history, and goes back to the portrayal of Achilles in The Iliad and Suetonius’ investigation of perverse leadership in The Lives of the Twelve Caesars. In its modern form it originates in Freud’s 1921 essay, “Mass Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego.” In the realm of political science, Harold Lasswell (Psychopathology and Politics) studied politics through psychoanalytic ideas, and he has been followed by many other political analysts. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT175C CM
	GOVT178 CM - International Law International law is the law of nations, but it can also be the law applied to individuals, relationships, and transactions that cross national boundaries. It addresses norms concerning the use of force and the conduct of war, while also covering such discrete areas as international trade and investment, human rights, environmental protection, ocean resources and maritime issues, and international crimes. This course provides a broad introduction to international law, including the sources of international law; the relevant actors, including states, international organizations, individuals, and non-governmental organizations; dispute resolution and enforcement of international law; and its specific application to discrete topics. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Every year Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT178 CM

	GOVT182 CM - Church and State in American Constitutionalism Over two hundred years into the American experiment, issues of church and state continue to divide the nation. How far reaching is “the great separation” between church and state? Does it require the development of a secular citizenry? Is it consistent with claims that America is a Christian nation? The vexed relationship between church and state is at the heart of public debates regarding education, marriage, and numerous other issues. To illuminate current debates we will examine the philosophical and political arguments for separation and how these have played out over the course of American constitutional history. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT182 CM
	GOVT185 CM - The Supreme Court and Criminal Procedure Intensive analyses of major judicial opinions on the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments, focusing on search and seizure, self-incrimination, right to counsel, and other procedural rights of accused persons.

	GOVT192 CM - Liberalism and Conservatism The course examines the character of the political opinions calling themselves liberalism and conservatism, from their emergence in the 18^th century to their flourishing and possible decline in the 20^th century and beyond. Though the course will focus on their American forms, it will contrast these with the appropriate British and Continental counterparts. Throughout, attention will be paid to the variety of doctrines within each school of thought, and to what unites as well as divides the politics of liberalism and conservatism as a whole. Prerequisite: GOVT 020 CM Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: GOVT192 CM
	GOVT196 CM - International Human Rights This course introduces human rights as a dominant field in international law and international relations.

The mass market and the large, private corporation became the defining features of American capitalism. This lecture-discussion class will examine the origins and development of that system, with particular attention to its social history. We will ask how diverse communities of Americans constructed, challenged, and were shaped by the expansion of the capitalist economy. Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST090 CM
	HIST095 CM - Introduction to Latin American Cultures This course is an introductory survey of the histories and cultures of Latin America, focusing on struggles for power between elite and popular groups from pre-1492 to the present day. It is divided in four broad sections: The encounter between Europeans and Indigenous peoples and structures of Colonial society; Latin American Independence and the meanings of independence for slaves, women, and others not considered full citizens of emerging nations; Twentieth century nationalisms, revolutions and dictatorships; and, contemporary social movements and politics in Latin America. This is a writing-intensive course geared toward first-years and sophomores. Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST095 CM
	HIST096 CM - The Amazon: From Cannibals to Rainforest Crunch From the time of the conquest, the outside world turned the Amazon into an imagined place to unleash their adventure fantasies about lost cities of gold and their fears about savage jungles and Indians. From a historical perspective, this course interrogates the creation of Amazonia from the nineteenth-century rubber boom to contemporary environmental campaigns. We analyze visual images, explorers’ accounts, ethnographies, novels, films, advertisements and environmental campaigns. The point is to understand how the Amazon and its people have been imagined externally and internally, and why certain narratives hold power in the Western world. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST096 CM
	HIST097 CM - Human Rights in Latin America: Testimonies The course evaluates testimonial literature, a cross between oral history and biography, as a historical source to locate subaltern voices usually excluded from the official documents used to write history. We debate the truths and validity of such sources and use interpretative tools such as theories on subjectivity, memory and discourse analysis for using testimonial literature as a historical source. We also look at how testimonies have been used as evidence in human rights commissions and translated into mass media for national and international audiences. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST097 CM
	HIST098 CM - The Americas: Cultural History of Transnational Relations This course examines the modern history of United States and Latin American relations. It employs a cultural approach to interrogate the processes of forming geopolitical distinctions in the twentieth century. While we examine classic cases of U.S. intervention in Latin America and Latin American cases of Anti-Americanism, the framework of transnational history provides a platform to examine hemispheric solidarities and exchanges through primary and secondary sources. Course themes include theories of development (modernization and dependency theories), human rights and Cold War politics, claims of imperialism and anti-Americanism as well as exchanges of popular culture and identities among the peoples and nations of the Americas. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST098 CM
	HIST099 CM - Cold War America The Cold War dramatically shaped the politics, culture and society of the United States while giving the country an altered place in the world. This course provides both a way to think about U.S. History within a global context and an introduction to historical analysis, research, and writing. Topics include the Red Scare, Civil Rights, consumer culture, decolonization and CIA interventions, immigration policy, the Reagan Revolution, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the dissolution of the USSR. We will pay close attention the relationships between domestic and foreign affairs and politics and popular culture. Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST099 CM

	HIST103A CM - From Village to Empire: The History of the Roman Republic, 750-44BCE This course explores the history of Rome from its foundations as a small village in the middle of the 8^th century BCE to its establishment as an imperial power over the Mediterranean world through the 1^st century BCE. Rome’s expansion from a city-state to a world power and the social, political, and economic implications of this expansion will constitute the primary focus of the course. But we will also examine material culture, religion, social customs, sub-elites, and women, and the dynamics of cultural interaction in the ancient Mediterranean. Students will concentrate throughout the course on the primary evidence and the ways in which historians use literary and material sources to uncover different perspectives on the Roman past. First part of a sequence on Roman history. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST103A CM
	HIST103B CM - Governing Rome: The History of the Roman Empire: 44 BCE - 337 CE This course examines the manifold techniques adopted and adapted by Roman emperors and their representatives to govern a vast territory that at its greatest extent stretched from the British Isles to the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Particular attention will be given to changes in traditional Roman political, social, and cultural practices brought about by the emergence of a monarchical government, economic crises, ethnic diversity, and the rise of Christianity. Part two of a sequence on Roman history. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST103B CM
	HIST104 CM - Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages: 284 - 888 CE Described as Late Antiquity or the Early Middle Ages, the period from Constantine to Charlemagne (roughly 300 to 800 AD) represents an age of vibrant and dynamic cultural transition sometimes viewed as a crucible for the blending of Roman, barbarian and Christian cultural elements. Using the major primary sources and the standard modern accounts for the period, this course will examine the key categories in which cultural change presents itself to the historian-the movement of migrant peoples, the political development of “successor” states, the consolidation of diverse religious practices and the rise of the Catholic Church, material and social changes in urban society, reorientation of economy and land use, and the transmission of an intellectual culture through art and literature that was both heir to Classical tradition and aware of its own novelty. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST104 CM
	HIST106 CM - Ancient Life in Letters The Roman world sustained a vibrant habit for the exchange of letters. From Egypt to Britain, and from Italy to Syria, correspondents shared snapshots of life stories, political gossip, advice for managing households, and condolences for the loss of loved ones. Many of these letters are deeply personal, disclosing the emotional lives of prominent social actors, and at the same time revealing priceless information about topics such as slavery, gender, religious life, and legal culture. Other letters are official government documents that provide otherwise inaccessible details about the ancient economy and government administration. Moreover, letters were understood to be gifts that enriched the lives and status of recipients. As such, they were crafted with literary artistry and often reveal the depth of ancient engagement with literature, history, and ethics. This seminar allows students to explore a select number of letter collections that are key to understanding the rich complexities of ancient life from the 2nd to 6th centuries CE. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST106 CM
	HIST107 CM - Reading Ancient and Medieval Historians Works surviving from the great historians of the ancient and medieval Mediterranean populate the imagination with impressions of distant worlds. But to what extent do these impressions depend on how authors chose to tailor past events to a contemporary political and social background? To what extent did the “great histories” interact with competing versions of the past? This course will address these and other questions by unpacking the famous Greek, Roman, and early-medieval historians and by considering how contemporary contexts shaped the writing of the past. This course offers a comparative cultural and literary approach to reading Herodotus, Thucydides, Livy, Tacitus, Ammianus Marcellinus, Procopius, Gregory of Tours, and Bede. Continuities and differences in the historical portrayal of such themes as politics, violence, gender, and religion will receive particular attention. Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST107 CM
	HIST108 CM - The Age of Cicero: Politics, Philosophy, and Culture at the End of the Roman Republic The life, works, and death of Cicero is in some ways iconic for the last stages of the Roman Republic. Cicero’s life spanned a period of intense political, social, and intellectual change that would inevitably lead to the rise of autocratic emperors. Sometimes a participant, and always an acute observer of affairs in Rome, Cicero provides us with a remarkably detailed picture of an ancient society in evolution. This course will follow, and question the nature of, the end of the Roman Republic through a close inspection of Cicero’s political speeches and court cases, letters to friends (and enemies), and moral and philosophical treatises. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST108 CM

	HIST113 CM - US Environmental History This course introduces students to the major themes, movements, and moments in the environmental history of the United States. Environmental historians see the natural world as both a material place and a historical and cultural idea. This class focuses on the theme of “nature:” how human societies have shaped the natural world, how the natural world has shaped human societies, and how ideas about what is “natural” have been created, challenged, and changed in American history from the colonial period to the present. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST113 CM
	HIST114 CM - Race and Racism in The Colonial Americas This course examines the development of ideas of race and racial difference in the Atlantic World from the 16^th to the 19^th centuries. Contact and interaction between indigenous Americans, Europeans, and Africans produced fabricated categories of social standing that continue to the present day. The class will explore how colonial regimes worked aggressively to police those racial lines. Yet, we will also consider how relations between and among those groups challenged and altered these racial constructs. This will culminate in an overall discussion on the evolution of modern racial attitudes. Offered: Every year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST114 CM
	HIST116 CM - Slavery: A World History This course examines the history of slavery in many global locations across multiple periods of time. Beginning with ancient forms of bound labor, it then traces the growth of slavery in the Americas, built initially upon the enslavement of indigenous people, but ultimately most substantially with African workers. The course closely follows the rise of the transatlantic slave trade from Africa, which produced distinct and variable slave regimes in the Americas. In the process, the class will explore the lived experiences and forms of resistance of those who were enslaved, and includes considerations of modern forms of oppression. Offered: Every year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST116 CM
	HIST117 CM - Race and Ethnicity in Brazil This course examines the Brazilian national narrative of “racial democracy,” or the idea that Brazilian society is a “racial paradise,” lacking racial distinctions due to racial mixing. We examine dominant racial ideologies that preceded the idea of Brazil as a racial democracy, how racial democracy turned into a national project of the Vargas Era (1930-45), and challenges proposed by black intellectuals and indigenous groups. After 1945, the course addresses how ideas of racial democracy intersect with gender/sexuality, modernization policies, people excluded from the national mixed-race type, authoritarian rule, and popular culture. At the end of the course, students debate contemporary racially based policies such as Affirmative Action in Brazil. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST117 CM
	HIST118 CM - Cold War America The Cold War dramatically shaped the politics, culture, and society of the United States while giving the country an altered place in the world. This course provides both a way to think about U.S. History within a global context and an introduction to historical analysis, research, and writing. Topics include the Red Scare, Civil Rights, consumer culture, decolonization, and CIA interventions, immigration policy, the Reagan Revolution, and the fall of the Berlin Wall the dissolution of the USSR. We will pay close attention to the relationships between domestic and foreign affairs and politics and popular culture. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST118 CM
	HIST119 CM - Women and Politics in America This course will analyze the history of American women in political life, broadly defined, from the mid-19^th century to the present. Following a historical chronology, we will consider the debate over the 15^th amendment, the movement for female suffrage. Reforms of the Progressive era, activism through church and community groups, the New Deal, the Civil Rights movement, the women’s movement, and women officeholders today. Throughout we will consider women’s political work as legislators, public policy makers, reformers, and activists. Previously HIST175 CM. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST119 CM
	HIST120 CM - Native American History This course examines Native American history from the era before European contact to the present. It focuses on the cultural, social, and economic developments of a number of indigenous societies throughout this period. Native people not only built the foundations upon which colonial societies grew, but they were also instrumental in the progression of history in the Americas. This course will explore how Native Americans reacted and adapted to the arrival of European settlers, as well as to how they helped shape the story of the United States. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST120 CM
	HIST120E CM - American Suburbia and Its Consequences This course will examine the political, cultural, economic and social processes of suburbanization and its consequences in the United States over the past century. We will analyze the policies that gave rise to the growth of American suburbia as well as the popular culture and political constructions that shaped the ideal of the American Dream. Topics include the urban crisis and battles over desegregation, race and class inequality, sprawl and land-use planning, family, education, youth culture, consumer capitalism, the subprime mortgage crisis, and new immigrant, racial and ethnic enclaves. We will pay particular attention to Southern California and the Inland Empire. Previously HIST171 CM. Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST120E CM
	HIST121 CM - United States History Since 1945 The period since the end of World War II and the dropping of the atomic bomb has dramatically shaped the current politics, culture and society of the United States. This course provides a topical and thematic approach to this period in order to understand the contemporary implications of the recent past. The course will pay particular attention the relationship between domestic affairs and foreign policy and to the connections between politics and popular culture. Topics include the Cold War, Vietnam, suburbanization, mass consumer culture, the fate of liberalism and the origins of conservatism, the social movements of the Left and the Right, globalization, and immigration policy, the culture wars, U.S. military interventions abroad, and the War on Terror. Through primary and secondary texts, movies, television shows, and music our shared aim is to gain a nuanced understanding of both the past and present. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST121 CM
	HIST122 CM - American Schools: Race, Citizenship, and Inequality Americans have long viewed schools as vehicles for democratic participation and social mobility. At the same time, differences of race, class, ethnicity, religion, and gender have shaped educational experiences in profound ways. This course examines the history of schooling in the United States with a focus on battles over educational access and equality. Topics include immigrant education, segregation and desegregation, bilingual education, and debates over school reform today. Throughout, we will consider American schooling as a story of both unfolding opportunity and unfulfilled promises. Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST122 CM
	HIST123 CM - History of the American West This course examines the role of the American West within U.S. history from the Gold Rush era to the present. Students will examine major themes within the field such as migration and settlement, the environment, role of the federal government/public policy, popular culture, and the peopling of the West. The course will address historian Frederick Jackson Turner’s thesis regarding the uniqueness of the American experience and character on the frontier. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST123 CM
	HIST125 CM - Asian American History, 1850 to the Present This survey course examines the history of Asian immigrant groups and their American-born descendants as they have settled and adjusted to life in the United States. We will explore issues such as the experience of immigration, daily life in urban ethnic enclaves, and racist campaigns against Asian immigrants. Throughout the course, we will ask how these issues relate to a larger history of American nation-building and diplomatic relations with Asia. Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST125 CM
	HIST127 CH - American Inequality See Pomona College Catalog for course description. Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST127 CH
	HIST127 CM - Civil War America This seminar examines the American Civil War, from its causes to its legacy. Rather than a traditional military history of the war, we will focus on the political, social, and cultural issues that defined its time. Through primary and secondary sources, we will discuss topics such as slavery, sectionalism, social transformations on the battlefield as well as the home front, emancipation, Reconstruction, and Civil War memory. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST127 CM
	HIST128 CM - LGBTQ History of the U.S. This course explores the experiences of people in the United States whom we might today define as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or queer.

Topics include changing categories of identity, the role of state policies and actions, the effects of wartime, Cold War persecution, the rise of gay and lesbian liberation movements, the impact of the AIDS epidemic, the emergence of queer theory, debates over military exclusion and same-sex marriage, and the significance of race, religion, class, gender, and region. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST128 CM
	HIST129 CM - London and Paris in the 19th Century A seminar comparing how these two great urban centers experienced the tremendous social upheavals of the 19^th and early 20^th century. How did the developments of capitalism, revolution, war, urbanization, modernity, and alienation play themselves out in London and Paris between the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the end of the First World War? We will examine historical texts, maps, economic and demographic data, art, architecture, novels, poetry, popular culture, detective stories, photography, and early film. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST129 CM
	HIST130 CM - Ottoman Power and Urban History This course questions both modernist and Orientalist assumptions concerning urban life in the Middle East on the cusp of a transformative moment in global history—commercialization and the emergence of new imperial forms. We will explore the complex problem of the emergence of a “middle class” which includes changes in the definitions of masculinity and femininity, domestic versus public space, non-Muslim and Muslim participation in civic society, political administration, and the creation and production of culture. Our chronological focus will be on urban centers during the evolution of Ottoman modernity and our historiographic focus will be on the relationship between the built environment and structures of power. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST130 CM
	HIST131C CM - Crusading Mentalities This seminar explores the causes, meanings, meaningfulness and commemoration of new religious identities shaped by war: from the reconquista in the Iberian Peninsula, to the new heretics in Central Europe and clashes between Latin and Orthodox Christians in Constantinople; and from contentious labels of heretic, Jew, infidel and pagan, to new institutional mechanisms for defining cultural difference around the Mediterranean. The course objective is to understand how a series of events in medieval history that shaped medieval culture led to the invention of a violent paradigm of Islamic-Christian relations intended to mask internal social and religious divisions, and continues to shape the rhetoric of cultural encounter that divides our world today. Offered: Occasionally Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST131C CM
	HIST132 CM - Genocide & Human Rights in 20th Century Europe During the twentieth century, the totality and modern features of the mass murder of civilians proved so alarming and unprecedented that by mid-century observers, led by Raphael Lemkin, developed a new concept for this historical phenomenon: genocide. This course will focus on case studies of genocide and genocide prevention in Europe. How do border changes, nation-state formation, and the collapse and rise of empires trigger ethnic cleansing and genocide as occurred in the Ottoman Empire, the Second World War, and more recently in the post-Soviet conflicts in the former Yugoslavia? Lectures and discussions will delve into specific topics, such as the role of racism, anti-Semitism and biopolitics, the psychological responses of victims, the inclusion of rape as a genocidal war crime, the response of bystanders, perpetrator motivation, and trends in post-genocidal societies such as trials, memorialization and compensation. Offered: Every other year Credit: 1 Course Number: HIST132 CM
