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.

3 hours How do humanitarian intervention in Libya, extrajudicial killings in Russia, the plight of migrant children detained at the US-Mexico border, the conditions of Philippine nannies working in Singapore, and counter-terrorist measures in Western Europe relate to each other? These wildly divergent topics share a common point of intersection: they constitute pressing human rights issues that affect the lives and well-being of people worldwide in consequential ways. Against the backdrop of an unprecedented backlash against human rights, apparent in the discourse and practices of many countries, including Western democracies, this course provides a critical, contemporary assessment of human rights. This seminar endeavors to help students understand human rights' historical evolution and development and the main challenges concerning their adherence and promotion. It examines critical problems concerning the practice and defense of human rights (i.e., violations of the rights to life, physical integrity, discrimination, gender, and free movement). It also devotes significant attention to studying the contemporary institutional architecture to promote and defend these rights (i.e., the international human rights regime). The course draws extensively on singular country cases and will develop concrete work regarding the plight of activists and scholars at risk. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.
