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 textbooks 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.

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.

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.

Ancient Greece developed a complex and fascinating culture that still has an impact and relevance in our world. In this introductory course we will approach Greek history and civilization from the viewpoint of the Greeks themselves. Following a brief historical overview, we will examine a wide array of topics including daily life, religion, women and children, the economy, food, sport, travel, magic and slavery. This examination of ancient Greece will be placed in a wider Mediterranean context. We will be drawing parallels with other ancient Mediterranean cultures, and we will try to understand the interaction of ancient Greece with these cultures. No prior knowledge of ancient history is necessary.

This course examines critical issues in Asian American history from the nineteenth century to the present in larger national, cross-racial, and transnational contexts. Our topics include race relations, migration, war, colonialism, assimilation, gender ideology, social movement, multiracial identity, family and community life, and cultural representations in Asian American experiences across racial, ethnic, and national boundaries. Rather than focusing exclusively on historical narratives of selected Asian American ethnic groups, the course examines how race, gender, class, sexuality, and other historical issues have shaped the formation of complex and diverse identities and representations of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States and beyond.

Europe 1815-1914 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. Hist 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.

This course offers a survey of the history of Modern France from 1848 to today, with a focus on placing France within a global context. We will explore the influence of political revolution, state-building, imperialism, World Wars, decolonization, national identity, war and diplomacy, secularism, and immigration in modern France. France, often compared to the US as an exemplar of democracy, offers a compelling case study for students to explore complex questions of modern historical development. Traditionally, histories of France have focused on the Hexagon, as mainland France is called. In contrast, this course will place equal emphasis on the French Empire, showing the impact of French imperialism on peoples around the world and also the influence of empire on everyday life in modern France.

"Iron and Blood: Germany in the Making" "Iron and Blood: Germany in the Making" The course offers a comprehensive survey of the German experience in Central Europe and elsewhere, in the so-called long nineteenth century in many respects the formative period for the making and un-making of the nation in the world. It specically focusses on major political, cultural, and socioeconomic trends in Germany and beyond that inuenced the multifaceted processes of nation-building in a global context. The course considers the impact the Germans had on the world and, conversely, the decisive impact the world had on the Germans. Working through divers textual, audial, and visual sources and in dialogue with recent scholarship, the course explores questions of memory and legacy and aims at decentering persistent ideas of nation and ethnicity by way of highlighting the interrelatedness of migration and identity-formation.

What was it like to live under communism in Eastern Europe? Was the communist state all powerful or did individuals and groups find places to assert autonomy and exercise agency? This course traces the history of state socialism in the former Eastern bloc and Yugoslavia from the establishment of communist regimes after World War II to their collapse in 1989 and the first years of transition. It explores the impact of World War II; the development of stalinism, which dominated the politics and society of the region from 1948 to 1956; the Soviet-Yugoslav split; the post-stalinist national roads to socialism; the reform movements such as the Prague Spring of 1968; the role of consumption and popular culture; dissident movements and Solidarity in Poland; the revolutions of 1989; the violent disintegration of the Yugoslav state in the 1990s; and the challenges of the transition to liberal democracy. In the process, we will explore diverse experiences of eastern Europeans with special attention paid to the relationship between everyday life and politics.

The Russian Empire in the Modern Period: History, Culture and the Challenges of Diversity. This course is about empire, colonialism, and anticolonialism, as well as about human, linguistic, and cultural diversity as a defining context of peoples life in the empire in the modern period (from the 18th to the 20th centuries). The Russian Empire is an interesting case: it continued, in a new form, as a Soviet imperial formation. Its history informs contemporary politics, including Russias ongoing war against Ukraine. The Russian Empire included Muslims and Christians, Buddhists and Jews, and Animists and Atheists. We will analyze how this space and society was constructed, how it functioned, and how various subjects of the empire experienced it in its different localities. We will consider revolutionary movements in the empire alongside anti-imperial national movements and analyze how the empire evolved and produced modern nations. We will read interesting historical sources to understand different people who lived in this imperial society. Students who take this class are invited to share their own experiences of living in multicultural and hierarchical environments.

Students will gain an understanding of the importance of reclaiming Native history in Native communities by examining how history has played a role in the struggles of Native Americans across time to maintain their ties to their lands and peoples. Students will also gain a basic introduction into the unique economies, gender relations, religions, and political identities of the 574 federally recognized tribal nations that currently reside in what is now called the United States. Since UIC resides on Indigenous lands in Chicago, particular attention will be paid to how Native nations have shaped this space in the past as a key trading center and how they continue to shape it today as a major site of urban relocation and current Indigenous activism.

A detailed survey of China's late imperial, or early modern, period, which encompassed the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1636-1911) dynasties. During this period the population of imperial China tripled, and the territory controlled doubled, creating an important legacy for the Peoples Republic of China today. The course will cover a broad range of issues from state institutions and elite power, to popular culture and peasant revolt. We will also consider how the Ming and the Qing dynasties interacted with other parts of the world at various times, how these interactions affected the course of Chinas history, and how the history of this period contributed to shaping modern China.

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.

History of Care Labor in US The Work of Care: A History of Care Labor in the United States. This class explores the history of gender and care labor in early America and the United States from the colonial era to the present. It focuses on changes in the labors of childbearing and of caring for children and the elderly as well as those with illness, injury, and disability. In part, the course investigates what care labor has been and become: the character of caregiving itself, in its multiple forms and as it has altered socially, materially, and technologically over time. In part, it considers how care labor has been organized and managed, compelled and rewardedpaid or unpaid, free or bound, in households or hospitals, retirement homes, and other institutions. And in part, the course examines who has done the work of caring, along with care workers varying forms of adaptation, organization, and mobilization. Finally, the course surveys the broader place of care labor in major transformations of American political economy and society, discussing the ways in which caregiving has been categorized and considered as distinct from, yet integrally related to, other kinds of labor. In all of these aspects, the course centers on the relationship between care labor, sexual inequality, and gender ideology.

This particular section of the class will explore the role of individual voices in both shaping history and narrating personal experience. As a class we will grapple with the role of the individual in society and with questions of historical narrative, as well as with the research and writing process. Using our exploration of historical method based on the analysis and discussion of common readings, for their final projects, students will use primary documents housed in UIC Library's Special Collections, as well as relevant secondary scholarship, to research and create a historical narrative on a topic of their own choosing.

3 hours Germany in Dictatorship & War No nations history was more consequential in shaping twentieth-century events than Germanys. Even before the First World War, German industrial might, combined with the nations volatile politics and vibrant culture, cast deepening shadows across Europe. In the world wars to follow, Germanys vaunted military was central to the titanic clashes that, by 1945, had decisively recast world power relations as well as Europe's territorial divisions. Central to Germany's twentieth century, of course, is the Nazi era, a time of unparalleled horror and persecution that, to this day, challenges our capacity for rational explanation. And the twelve years that made up Hitlers Thousand Year Reich provide this course its narrative fulcrum and central interpretive challenges. Yet these questions cannot be answered by reference to the Nazi years alone and, for that reason, we start our story with Germany on the eve of World War I, carrying it through the endphases of World War II into the dawn of the Cold War. In plotting this journey, textbooks and lectures provide indispensable roadmaps. But the greater part of this course will address primary source materials from the years 1914 to 1949 ranging from press controversies to political tracts, from police reports to private memoirs as we examine the perpetrators, victims, bystanders and opponents who make up this story. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.

This course is an introduction to the discipline of history, the genealogy of its current debates, methods, schools, and turns. Historians can study different geographical areas, specialize in different subfields, and adhere to different methods. Besides formal affiliation and education, what makes us members of one professional community is our ability to speak in a metalanguage shared by all members of this community. Our metalanguage is methodology. It allows us to explain our professional self-positioning, the selection of our sources, the way we pose our research questions, and the intellectual genealogy that informs our approaches to those working in other geographical areas and historical subfields. Our metalanguage is also historically conditioned. It is rooted in the history of our field; it reflects continuities and radical philosophical and ideological intrusions from other spheres of knowledge and other disciplines. It thus enables a self-reflective stance on the part of the community of historians. In this course, we will master the metalanguage of professional history by reading classical works and critically inquiring into the evolutions and revolutions of historical approaches and research agendas. Ultimately, we should arrive at a better understanding of where the history profession is now and how it has gotten there. How does the history profession reflect political, ideological, and social changes happening in the real world and how does it absorb and/or resist current intellectual fashions within academia? How do we, historians, understand the relationships between the present historical moment and our self-positioning vis--vis the past that we study? In short, in this class we will learn to reflect on HOW historians think and writein order to become self-reflective members of our professional community.

WRGUW: Making Property Making Property: Owners, Assets, and Interests in Early America. This graduate colloquium will explore the changing and contested forms of property in colonial America and the early United States. We will consider various categories of proprietors, including Native tribes, households, corporations, and governments; different types of assets, including land and labor, stocks and bonds, and copyrights and patents; and distinct kinds of claims to resources, including common property, public property, and private property. We will also discuss competing conceptions of the basis and purpose of property, such as property as propriety and property as commodity, along with the relationship between property and allied social constructions such as sovereignty, domesticity, improvement, rent, and market exchange. Overarching themes will include Indigenous dispossession, environmental exploitation, and the commodification and capitalization of labor and land.

Encounters: Empires of Law Empires of Law. In the past twenty years, historians from a wide variety of geographically defined fields have turned to legal sources as a means of understanding the nature and legacy of colonial rule. As a result, legal history, once narrowly defined, has become an increasingly expansive, transnational field. Following this transformation, this graduate seminar will survey and analyze key approaches through which historians have used law to understand empire. Emphasis will be placed on methodology; on relating legal history to broader methodological shifts (social, cultural, global) within the discipline as a whole; and on drawing out questions, possibilities, and approaches of potential relevance for each students individualized dissertation work. Students from both Encounters and WRGUW are welcome. Adopting a thematic approach, course readings will draw on a range of geographic contexts (North America, the Caribbean, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa) and consider multiple colonial powers, formal and informal (British, French, Spanish, and American).
