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 before gradually migrating west: from the lands of Mesopotamia (todays Iraq) into the Greek and Roman civilizations of the Mediterranean world. Only towards the end of our story, in the final weeks of semester, does a recognizably European civilization begin to take shape a matrix of culture, institutions and ideas that became, over time, identifiable as the West, that restless, dynamic ensemble of power and interest that, for better and for worse, has played so outsized a role in making todays world. As we examine this story, we will 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. Class Schedule Information: To be properly registered, students must enroll in one Discussion/Recitation and one Lecture.

This course trains students to think globally about change over time. It is concept driven as opposed to content driven - so it does not emphasize a specific narrative history. Instead it introduces students to ways of thinking about the histories of people, environments, cultures, economies, technologies, political systems, ideas, animals, foods, and diseases as always involving broad world circulations and intersections. Local histories have always involved global forces. And global processes have always been a combination of local histories. Through primary and secondary sources since 1300CE, students will examine world connections. When taught online or hybrid, students will be required to have reliable internet access and a means for accessing it (computer preferable). Past course, and World Cultures course.

3 hours History 214 tracks European developments from the First World War through the conclusion of World War II, and considers the worlds undone and remade by these epochal conflicts. Historians sometimes refer to the traumatic years from 1914-45 as Europes Second Thirty Years War, a phrase that underscores the continuities between the two world wars, as well as the tumultuous times between. Yet alongside their awful catastrophes, these years also saw remarkable innovation and departure in European culture, politics and social relations, and our approach emphasizes this bracing modernity alongside the eras iconic disasters and atrocities. At semesters end, we will briefly survey European developments after 1945 the remaking and resettling of postwar Europe, the dynamics of conflict between East and West, and the forging of new European relations in the shadows of Cold War.

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.

3 hours Eastern Europe after Communism. The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe in 1989 gave rise to global shifts that continue to shape our world today. Heralded as the end of history and The Year of Truth, 1989 generated an enormous international attention, widespread euphoria, and a belief in an inevitable triumph of liberal democracy.

3 hours Topic: Global Enlightenment: Race, Empire and the European Imagination of the World. The Enlightenment in Europe (roughly 1700-1800) aimed to gather all the knowledge that now lies scattered around the globe (Denis Diderot) or to observe with extensive view... from China to Peru (Samuel Johnson). This course takes seriously that global idea by introducing critical thinkers while examining emerging notions of cultural difference and race. We explore the idea of progress (of humankind, language, society, and the arts) and its critique. We also consider the concept of empireterritorial empire, maritime empire, etc.in these texts. In authors like the anti-slavery/abolitionist Equiano and the Haitian Revolution, the question of race overlaps with empire through the "triangular tradethe transatlantic structure of slavery. The course begins with the broad debates on Enlightenment as a process through brief essays by Kant. We then turn to two texts by Voltaire. Candide gives us a sense of how Enlightenment thinkers viewed the New World. In contrast, his Letters on England reveal the mixture of admiration and envy expressed by pre-revolutionary French writers when looking at England. Through David Humes work, we examine the debate on the importance of reason and the passions in the period (which guides human nature?). With a contrast in temperament, Rousseaus scathing critique of the idea of property is the topic of the Discourse on Inequality, which is part mythical history and anthropology. We return to the idea of political progress with Mary Wollstonecraft, who makes a case for female equality. The course concludes with Edmund Burkes Reflections on the Revolution in France, an influential critique, juxtaposed with his writings on India (he was prescient about the British empire in India overseas overstepping its limits). Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.
