History 101 offers a broad survey of Western (mostly European) history, from the Wars of Religion of the seventeenth century to the Cold War of the twentieth. We focus on the social trends, political conflicts and intellectual quarrels across these years, placing special emphasis on the scientific, political and industrial revolutions that helped forge and define European civilization and, by extension, much of our modern world (as you will see, Western imperialism and economic globalization are central course themes). Lectures and our class textbook will provide the overall storyline and contexts to this journey; the heart of this course lies in our critical engagement with the documentary record left by the historical actors themselves, as they acted and commented upon their times.

This course is an introductory survey of the history of the United States since the late 1800s. The class is partly about how American society and politics have dramatically changed over the past 150 years, why those changes have happened, and how that history can help us to understand where we are today. The class is also partly about history itself as a subject of study and a way of thinking. Designed especially for students with little background in history, the course considers how history is researched and written, the kinds of sources and evidence on which history is based, the kinds of questions historians ask, the kinds of analysis and argument they make, and how non-historians make use of history in various ways.

In this introductory course students will learn about the early history of Latin America, from the first Indigenous peoples millennia ago to the wars of independence in the early 19th century. The course will also examine popular misconceptions and myths about early Latin America, especially those relating to Indigenous people and the Spanish Conquest. Another theme will be colonial Latin Americas foundational role in the history of the modern global age; colonial Latin America, as this course will demonstrate, was the birthplace of globalization. The story that this course will tell is of how Native Americans built great empires and rich, resilient cultures that Europeans only partially managed to subjugate, and how the incomplete processes of conquest and colonization led not just to the independence of the nation-states of Latin America, but also changed the history of the world forever.

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.

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 history course seeks to correct the ways that Native American people are often framed as peoples without a history by exploring major themes and historical events that have shaped Native North America from ancient to present times. 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.

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. UIC GE Past, and UIC GE World Cultures course.

Middle East Modern Period This course examines the Muslim world as it has developed over the past 750 years, from the dramatic Mongol conquests and the traumas of European colonialism to the creation of the modern nation-state system in which Muslims live today, and the recent revolutionary attempts at instituting new political and social orders. Students will be introduced to the remarkable diversity among Muslim societies, as well as the commonalities that unite them. Special attention will be paid to select encounters between the Muslim world and other religions, civilizations, and cultures. Along the way, we will consider why this period in Islamic history has often been viewed as an era of civilizational decline despite the cultural fluorescence it witnessed.

Popular Politics and Revolution in Latin American and Caribbean History. This course examines methods of historical research and writing drawing on the historiography on popular politics and revolution in Latin America and the Caribbean. It ponders methodological aspects involved in the production of a research paper, namely, historiographical analysis, references to social theory, formulation of research questions and arguments, use of historical evidence to support an argument, and academic writing. It emphasizes primary source analysis (e.g., the study of chronicles, official documents, newspapers, and correspondence) as a method to create historical narratives. Students will consider the social conditions under which primary sources were produced, as well as the characteristics of the texts and the ways in which they have informed historical narratives. We will read landmark texts in the historiography of popular politics and revolution in Latin America and the Caribbean to ponder how historians interpret events and processes. In sum, the class covers topics on historiography, archival research, primary source analysis, and oral history. How do historians articulate their unique narrative voices? Historians who set standards in each field of historical research are dedicated scholars who have devoted many years to the study of specific topics. They know the archives well, have excellent research skills, and are familiar with historiographical and conceptual issues pertinent to their respective fields. They are also excellent writers. They can convey intricate ideas with conciseness and sometimes with elegance. In other words, creating a narrative voice requires discipline and a high degree of motivation. Hopefully, the landmark work we will study during the semester will inspire students in this class to develop their unique voices as historians working in the twentieth first century. HIST 440 is a requirement for History majors. Its goal is to help students to develop research and writing skills and help them to produce an original paper based on primary sources. The class ponders conceptual and methodological aspects involved in the production of a research paper such as historiographical analysis, social theory, research questions, argumentation, historical evidence, and academic writing.

WRGUW: Knowledge Science Tech Work, Race, & Gender in Urban World: Theories and Methods in the History of Knowledge and Science & Technology Studies. This seminar introduces students to major themes and methods in the history of knowledge and Science and Technology Studies (STS). Concerned with critically situating and historically contextualizing the production of scientific knowledge, this course examines how the relations between science, technology, and politics have been conceptualized throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In lieu of presenting a comprehensive survey, the course is organized around a collection of themes and interdisciplinary readings that showcase the kinds of questions that histories of science and technology can help raise and address. Following an introduction to key texts in the field, we will examine some of its most lively and influential debates, including postcolonial and global science, big data and algorithmic governance, and environmental justice.

Encounters: Empires of Law History of Encounters, Ethnographies, and Empires: 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).
