A broad survey of human events prior to 1648, History 100 stresses the diversity and interaction of peoples and cultures in the making of Western Civilization. Our story begins in the east and gradually migrates west: from the lands of Mesopotamia (todays Iraq) into the Greek and Roman civilizations of the Mediterranean world. Only towards the end of this story, in the final weeks of semester, do we see a recognizably European civilization begin to take shape a restless, dynamic ensemble of power, culture and interest that, over time, came to be identified as the West. In examining this story, we devote particular attention to the evolving relations between government and religion, and the conflicting claims of reason and faith, in shaping Western politics and culture. While class lectures and textbook provide overall storyline and context, the heart of this course lies in our critical engagement with the documentary record left by the historical actors themselves. Past course, and World Cultures course.

This lecture course provides a broad overview of European history since 1648, with significant emphasis on Europes interactions with the wider world. The course examines key events and processes that shaped Western modernity, including the Enlightenment and French Revolution; the trans-Atlantic slave trade and history of European empire; the industrial revolution, nationalism, and nineteenth-century social change; the world wars of the twentieth century; the rebuilding of post-war Europe, the Cold War, and the European Union. Across these disparate events and moments in time, we will unearth foundational histories of state power, democracy, capitalism, and globalization. At the same time, we will also consider cultural histories of ideas, art, music, and memoryin connection with the many wars and upheavals that have marked the past three centuries.

Same as JST 117 and RELS 117. The Holocaust remains one of the most shocking events of the twentieth century. In a matter of mere years, it brought about the systematic annihilation of six million Jews and millions of other targeted groups. How was this able to happen? And why was more not done to stop it? This course attempts to answer these questions and provides an in- depth analysis of the cultural and social forces that allowed the Holocaust to take place. The course begins first with understanding the development of Jewish emancipation and the subsequent rise of antisemitism in Europe in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. From there, we will trace the rise of the Nazi state and the gradual escalation of anti-Jewish policies as well as policies that discriminated against other vulnerable groups, including the disabled, homosexuals, and other religious and ethnic minorities. We will analyze the various stages of the Holocaust including ghettoization, the dispatch of the Einsatzgruppen, and the creation of death camps. At every moment, we will be looking at issues of everyday lifehow it was possible for seemingly ordinary citizens to become among the perpetrators of mass death, how neighbors became victims, perpetrators, and bystanders, and how the Holocaust affected local communities. The course will end with a unit on Holocaust memory and the Holocaust in contemporary culture. We tend to think of the Holocaust as an event that took place only in concentration and death camps scattered around East-Central Europe. More recently, however, historians have asked us to de-center the camps from our understanding of the Holocaust and instead come to understand the local history of the Holocaust. This course seeks to uncover the everyday lived experience of the Holocaust both in and outside of the camps and to understand how ordinary people and communities faced the horror that accompanied it.

This course surveys the history of the Middle East from the pre-Islamic era to recent events and debates. You will study the culture and milieu in which Islam emerged, its remarkably quick expansion, the new cultural syntheses these early conquests produced, and the political and religious forms they engendered. As we move into the more stable middle period, you will learn about the similarities and differences between the various empires that ruled the areas now known as the Middle East, and how they produced distinctive identities while drawing on a common religious heritage. Towards the end of the semester, we will examine the impact of European colonialism, attempts at modernization in the turbulent nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the particular challenges that face the Middle East today. Throughout, we pay attention to the various political, religious, economic and social components of the historical moments we study, as well as the various sectors of Middle Eastern society.

This course covers a fascinating historical period that witnessed profound devastation, advancement, and upheaval. From plagues, witch trials, and religious wars to scientific discoveries and global exploration to large-scale migration brought on by religious persecution, economic opportunities, and political instability, Europeans produced and experienced changes during this era that would transform their lives and self-perceptions in ways that still affect us today. Advances in education and medicine improved literacy and living standards for many, including women. The printing press opened debates on everything from politics to human anatomy, the soul, poetry, and economics to millions previously excluded from such discussions. The growth of cities, advances in farming practices, and emergence of new social classes, changed everyday life, family structure, and leisure activities. Europeans expanded their global trading networks, bringing an influx of coffee, tea, tobacco, spices, and slaves from far-flung parts of the globe. Meanwhile, magic and astrology were still a basic part of the ordinary lives of many Europeans. The Renaissance and Protestant Reformation created deep religious divisions while also radically altering thinking on the interpretation of texts and challenging institutional authorities, secular and sacred. The rediscovery of ancient texts fueled alchemical and astronomical inquiry, reshaping perceptions of the universe and stimulating the empirical sciences leading eventually to the Enlightenment. Using a range of primary sources and engaging critically with secondary scholarship, our aim in the course is to better understand the beliefs, conflicts, technologies, and new ideas that characterized these years.

From the end of the Napoleonic Wars to the outbreak of World War I, nineteenth-century Europe was crucible and testing-ground for wide-ranging innovation and sweeping transformation, as political revolutions combined with industrialism and urbanization to change forever Europes physical and social landscapes. Nor were these changes confined to the continent alone, as Europes leading nations, in their high-stakes competition for power, extended their reach across the globe, drawing regions and peoples into new relations of interaction and subjugation. Yet this moment of European ascendancy proved short-lived; the ceaseless contention for world power among its leading states eventually spilled over into ruinous wars, and Hist 213 ends with Europes nations marching off to a Great War that, aiming to end all wars, instead brought the era of European hegemony to a close. And yet: humanitys forced march into new worlds of global possibility and constraint, having been unloosed by Western power, proved irreversible, and to this day we find ourselves wrestling with the consequences. History 213, then, can best be seen as an extended investigation into the sources ideas, economic relations and social dynamics that helped forge our modern world (and its dilemmas). Course lectures and textbook will go far in explicating this multi-faceted story. But the heart of this class lies in our interrogations of contemporary documents and texts, generated by the historical actors themselves, as we examine the clashing interests, ideologies and social movements of these years.

It was once said: The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there, and I am inviting you to a most fascinating historical journey. In this course, we will learn about nomadic societies and confederations; about types of political imagination that are very different from ours; about the impact of the Mongol Empire on the formation of the Christian Muscovy; about German knights and their pagan Lithuanian neighbors; about Reformation and Counter-Reformation in Poland and the religious schism in Muscovy; about Tsars-tyrants and Tsars-reformers. We will explore the formation of the very phenomenon of the state in its various forms, including nomadic states, along with various forms of subjecthood, citizenship, and belonging. In a word, we will study a diverse world of Northern Eurasia (nowadays Mongolia, Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, and other states and lands) that gave rise to one of the largest and long-lived empires in world history. Most importantly, we will zoom in on the examples of political instrumentalization of past events in modern ideologies, memorials, movies, and history textbooks, and specifically in Russias justifications of its current war against Ukraine.

This course surveys the history of capitalist institutions and ideas in America from the colonial era to the present. We examine how practices that many Americans take for granted today originally arose and fundamentally changed over time, such as relying on private property and private profit as the main modes of making a living and of organizing and allocating resources. We explore how capitalist social relations have been tested and contested throughout American history, and how the structure of the American economy has been shaped by deep social struggles and crises. In this way, the course offers a historical framework for understanding current conflicts over racial and class inequality, financial instability, and environmental sustainability. Major themes include the interdependence of capitalism, colonialism, and slavery in early America; the transformation of labor, land, and natural resources into market commodities and financial assets in the long nineteenth century; and the geography of economic development in the modern United States and its relations abroadcity and suburb, Rust Belt and Sunbelt, Global North and Global South.

Over the last century or so China has seen dramatic changes in forms of government, family life, womens roles, economic systems, and areas of intellectual inquiry. In many ways 1911or indeed the whole twentieth centurymarks a divide between traditional China and modern China. New technologies and ways of thinking introduced during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries resulted in changes that made many existing philosophies and patterns of behavior no longer viable. What kinds of narratives did people in China create in order to understand the changes that they experienced? How would they decide what to retain from their history and what to reject? How would they explain these choices? How would China come to define itself both in relation to other nations, and in relation to the past? What kinds of conflict emerged in this transition and how did people deal with it? How did Americans make sense of the changes happening in China and what kind of impact would these changes have on the US and other parts of the world? How does the history of twentieth-century China continue to impact the course of Chinese history, politics, and culture today?

What kinds of narratives did people in China create in order to understand the changes that they experienced? How would they decide what to retain from their history and what to reject? How would they explain these choices? How would China come to define itself both in relation to other nations, and in relation to the past? What kinds of conflict emerged in this transition and how did people deal with it? How did Americans make sense of the changes happening in China and what kind of impact would these changes have on the US and other parts of the world? How does the history of twentieth-century China continue to impact the course of Chinese history, politics, and culture today? These are all important questions pertaining to the study of twentieth-century Chinese history that this course serves to address.. Past, and World Cultures course. Past, and World Cultures course.

Same as GLAS 276. South Asia refers to the region inclusive of modern-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. It might seem arbitrary at first glance, however, these countries have overlapping histories, religions and cultures that connect them together. In order to understand the political and cultural histories of the region, it is important to trace the regions thrust into the global order in the last 150 years with British colonial rule and the nationalist resistance to it. This course will begin with the 1857 revolt against British imperial power on the Indian subcontinent and end with reflections on the politics and culture in the region, with a focus on the contemporary states of India and Pakistan and to a lesser degree Afghanistan and Bangladesh. We will use a wide variety of sources from contemporary documentaries, fiction, and journalistic accounts of South Asian politics and society. Past course, and World Cultures course.

Middle East Modern Period This course examines the region that we now call the Middle East and North Africa as it has developed across the modern period, from the rise of the Ottoman and Safavid empires and their incorporation into global capitalism, to the creation of modern nation-states within the global economy and recent revolutionary attempts at instituting new political and social orders. Students will be introduced to the remarkable diversity of this region, as well as the common history that unites it and makes it comparable to other parts of the global South. Special attention will be paid to encounters between Middle Eastern and European empires, the formation of postcolonial states within international capitalist relations, and border-crossing anticolonial, religious, labor, and social movements. Along the way, we will critically consider whether and how the Middle East and North Africa formed as a coherent region, as well as alternative geographies (the Muslim world, the Arab world, or SWANA).

Religion and State in Making the Modern World. History 300 provides history majors a semester-length workshop in historical methods and writing. Our topical focus is the evolution of church-state relations, mostly in their European context and considered in their cultural, social and political dimensions. We will examine the interplay between religious doctrine and political theory, the clash and convergence of confessional and national identities, and the shifting relations between citizens, states, and religious authority. In investigating these matters, we will draw upon a handful of books, articles and primary source materials. The heart of this course however lies in ways in which students hone their interpretive and expository skills through an intensive schedule of assigned writings, discussion, revision, and class presentation.

Its three main units survey the role of competing claimants to woodlands in the development of real property (land and improvements), productive property (agriculture and industry), and protected resources (parks and nature preserves) from the colonial era to the industrial age. Finally, the course considers how the profusion of wildlife and paucity of property that Americans once found in the forest might relate to our own age of economic accumulation and environmental destruction.

What are the potential harms and benefits of the current generation of AI applications? What happens when these programs produce results that reflect or reinforce racial and class bias? What about issues like copyright, authorship, privacy and deepfakes? Finally, well look at efforts to regulate AI over the last few years in light of our understanding of the fields long social and political history. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.

1 hours Graduate Pedagogy Seminar. This seminar is designed to introduce first-year Teaching Assistants to a variety of teaching philosophies, practices, and strategies in undergraduate history courses. The course starts with the premise that teaching can be learned (and taught), but that a deeper exploration of the question why we teach is as fundamental to teaching as learning specific techniques. For these reasons, the class materials will combine exploring different teaching philosophies together with strategies that could be used in the classroom. In our exploration of teaching techniques, we will focus on such critical elements of academic teaching as preparing a syllabus, leading group discussions, lecture writing, dealing with AI technology, and grading. While doing so we will keep in mind the specificity of our discipline, and the materials and skills that history courses are intended to teach such as working with primary sources and critical thinking.
