| 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 deals with the making of the modern world and stresses the roles played by intercontinental and global interactions. It begins with a survey of the globe around the time of the Black Death, when most humans were village-dwelling peasants devoted to local traditions, and when wealth was concentrated in China, India and the Islamic Middle East. The course ends in the post-Covid present, when most humans are now urbanized consumers that subscribe to global cultures, and when US political and economic power is being challenged by a resurgent China. Themes include global trade, capitalism, imperialism, war, disease, migration and climate events. | ||||||||

| Environmental History Hardly a day goes by without news of the many ways in which climate change is reshaping societies around the world, and the influence of environmental transformation on human society now seems obvious. But until recently, historians tended to narrate the histories of global societies and cultures as the outcomes of human action alone. Strongly influenced by new environmentalist movements, environmental history emerged several decades ago as an effort to write the non-human world back into the making of human pasts. Environmental history encompasses a wide array of subjects relating to the effects of human societies on the environment, the role of non-human nature in the making of human history, and the history of ideas about humans and the environment. Topics will include indigenous relationships to nature, the impact of the Little Ice Age, colonial capitalism and agrarian development, imperialism and the production of environmental knowledge, the making of global commodity frontiers, disease and the environment, energy regimes and the rise of petro-politics, and the politics of climate change. Environmental history is an inherently interdisciplinary field, and students from all majors and departments are welcome. | ||||||||

| 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. | ||||||||

Emphasis will lie equally on both the development of formal aspects of sport (e.g., techniques and rules of individual events; training; prizes; historical development of the Olympics and other international and local games) as well as its social and political ramifications. Moreover, the course will provide an introduction to the written and material evidence germane to the reconstruction of the history of sport in the ancient world and will survey the impact on Greco-Roman sport on the modern Olympic and sports movements. | ||||||||

| This class explores the antecedents of contemporary problems in Poland. It examines the social, political, and cultural history of the Polish lands from the earliest written record in the 10th century to the present day. The course considers the consolidation and expansion of the Polish state in the medieval and early modern periods, the evolution (and decline) of noble democracy, repeated foreign incursions and Polands changing place in the world. Emphasizing the variable meanings of Polishness over time, we look at the fluctuating boundaries of Polish territory, the shifting membership in the Polish national community, and the diverse population that has comprised this heterogeneous state. Along the way, we consider the role of religious dissenters, the meanings of Sarmatism, and the position of witches, Roma (gypsies), Jews, and other outsiders in Polish culture. In the modern period, the course examines Polish refugees and migrants, peasants and workers. Topics also include the construction of democracy during the interwar Second Republic, the impact of the dual Nazi and Soviet occupations during World War II, the Nazi Holocaust; Communism and the rise of political dissidence, Solidarity and the collapse of the communist system, and the transition to liberal democracy after 1989. | ||||||||

| This course examines the Middle East as it developed from the eve of Islam to the dramatic Mongol conquest of Baghdad in 1258. Major landmark moments include the wars between the Byzantine and Sassanian empires, the emergence of Islam in the Arabian desert, the early Islamic conquests and expansion of the Muslim community, the revelation of the Quran in an Arabian context, the strife that afflicted the Muslim community regarding succession after the Prophets death, the dynastic rule of the Umayyad clan, the Abbasid revolution and its golden age, and the Mongol invasions that redefined the Middle East. Students will be introduced to the remarkable diversity among Middle Easterners, as well as the commonalities that unite them. Special attention will be paid to the role of both orality and writing in Middle Eastern culture, the cultural contributions (architecture, poetry, literature, science) of the Middle Eastern world, attempts by successive Middle Eastern empires to balance the demands and aspirations of different segments of their populations, rebellion and revolution, and travel and cultural encounter. | ||||||||

| 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. How did the events of 1989 and their aftermath affect people in the region? In what ways have the interpretations of 1989 changed over time? This class will explore the nature of 1989 revolutions, and the challenges of the transition from communism to liberal democracy as experienced by a variety of social and political actors in the region. Topics will include the dismantling of the command economy and the rapid transition to neoliberal capitalism; political democratization and the rise of nationalism; consumer culture and mobility across borders; the impact of the European Union; the politics of gender and sexuality; the global economic crises and migration; the rise of authoritarian populism and the war in Ukraine. Finally, we will examine the ways in which communism (and its collapse) has been remembered and utilized to serve a variety of new political agendas. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago. | ||||||||

| Research: Nations/Nationalism History Research Seminar: Nations and Nationalism in History. 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 seminar will give students the opportunity to explore different approaches to the phenomena of nations and nationalism. What is the difference between territorial, civic, and ethnic nations? When did they emerge? How to define nationalism and where to locate it historically? What is the role of nations and nationalism in history? Do we live in the epoch of nations and nationalism? While the class is focused on these and similar problems, we will spend much of the time learning about the process of historical research, how to evaluate primary and secondary sources, and how to formulate an argument from the evidence/sources gathered. Students will pick their own research case within the proposed general theme of Nations and nationalism and produce a research paper (approximately 12-15 pages) at the end of the term that will be closely evaluated and discussed in class workshops. | ||||||||

In recent years, stories of Central Americans fleeing from violence, economic precarity, political and social unrest, and challenges related to climate change have dominated news headlines. Many of these people have sought refuge in the United States. But this nation has been more than a destination: it has also played a key role in creating the conditions that caused people to leave in the first place. This course will explore the origins of the so-called Central American refugee crisis and the interconnected histories of Central America and the United States, with a special focus on El Salvador. We will do so by examining the histories of violence, civil war, and Cold War geopolitics; the experiences of migrants and asylum seekers; and the efforts of people to fashion lives and navigate belonging, family separation, and new transnational realities in the United States.

| 3 hours The new history of the Spanish Conquest: New perspectives on the 16th-century Spanish invasions of Mexico, Peru, and the Americas. For centuries, the so-called Spanish Conquest of the Americas has been seen as the quick, relatively easy triumph of cunning (but cruel) Spaniards over superstitious noble savages, due mostly to European technological superiority. While this view persists in public thought, historians, largely thanks to new studies of Indigenous historical accounts, have dramatically overturned this view. Now historians see that the Aztecs, Inca, and other Native Americans did not see the Spanish invaders as gods with invincible weapons, but rather as a new, foreign group of people whom they could resist (and even defeat) or ally with. Many scholars today argue that differences in technology, culture, or civilization had little to do with the outcome, and that Indigenous people sometimes lost in large part because of disease. In fact, several Indigenous nations throughout North and South America triumphed in battle against Spaniards or became their allies and thus even the term Spanish Conquest has come under fire as inaccurate. In this course, we will examine this new, more accurate understanding of the Spanish Invasion. Using the latest books and articles by historians of early colonial Latin America, as well as primary sources (especially Indigenous writings from that era), we will trace step-by-step how the Indigenous of Mexico and Peru and elsewhere dealt with the Spaniards who landed on their shores. We will see how Spanish colonizers in the 1500s used alliances with Natives and took advantage of diseases to establish control over the cores of the Aztec and Inca empires, but mostly failed to colonize the rest of the Americas. We will analyze just how historians have come to such new conclusions. As a class, we will debunk and deflate so many widespread myths about early Spanish colonialism, and look at the paths that historians are taking towards further correcting the record of this extremely misunderstood historical moment.

This course provides a survey of the environmental history of the Middle East and North Africa, focusing on how human societies in this region have related to, and conceptualized their relationships with, the changing natural environment. Chronologically, it moves from deep geological time through eras of historical climate change to the contemporary era of fossil-fueled capitalism and climate crisis. Along the way, this course will cover the climatic forces that made the Mediterranean and Sahara, trace the impacts of the Little Ice Age on the Ottoman empire, and examine the debate over whether and how climate change has impacted contemporary political struggles like the Syrian civil war. It will ask how Middle Eastern societies have understood and shaped their environments, exploring medieval Islamic geography, indigenous land use in North Africa, and attempts to build nations by remaking river valleys in Syria and Egypt. It will also deal extensively with competing conceptions of how oil shapes states and economies: is oil a geopolitical prize, a cursed resource that inhibits development, or a commodity like any other?

| 3 hours Topics: Ideas of Revolution Ideas of Revolution: From Enlightenment to Decolonization. How did writers and thinkers in the British and French context reconcile "empire and liberty," or commerce with conquest? What possibilities existed for an anticolonial perspective? The philosophes, it has been argued, were interested in liberating not only French citizens from the ancien rgime, but also many of those enslaved in the colonies. Yet were there limitations to their political imagination of freedom? We trace the emergence of the forms of thought and critique in the European Enlightenment, taking that word to mean the plural styles of analysis that arose in this period. We turn from there to examine the collision (or compatibility) with the projects of territorial empire in the period. Implicitly, we will span multiple periods as we move forward to the era of decolonization to examine the engagement with Enlightenment thought in the 20th century (in the Francophone context described as "colonial humanism," or Bandung Humanism in the anglophone world) and the contemporary period. The course begins with Rousseau and Denis Diderot, so we understand the French Enlightenment. We will read critics of the concept of revolution, such as Edmund Burke, and trace it through to the era of decolonization in the thought of Frantz Fanon. Authors and topics to be read include: Rousseau, Diderot, Kant, Burke, Mary Wollstonecraft, Haitian Revolution, and Marx. Then, we turn to modern decolonization and read Gandhi, CLR James, Cesaire, and Fanon. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago. | ||||||||

| 3 hours Internships are a great way for students to gain on the job skills and experience toward potential career paths. HIST 499 is designed for students to earn credit while pursuing their interests in hands-on internship experiences. Students must commit to at least 10 hours of work per week (for 15 weeks) to an internship institution to earn 3 credit hours. The course requires that you keep an internship journal, attend 2-3 professional/career development workshops, meet several times as a class group and with the professor throughout the semester, and create a brief presentation about your internship and the skills and work experience that you gained at the end of the semester. It is the student's responsibility to search for internships, apply for internships, and secure an internship before class starts. But, the instructor will provide guidance and support throughout this process. Group class meetings will be held synchronously through Zoom. Prerequisite(s): Approval of the instructor. | ||||||||
4 hours. Prerequisite(s): Open only to Ph.D degree students; and approval of the department. Restricted to History or Teaching of History major(s). Restricted to Master of Arts or Doctor of Philosophy.

| This graduate colloquium addresses world history, which is taken to mean works that adopt large temporal or spatial scales. Some narrate the story of humankind since the last Ice Age, while others consider the unity of seas, oceans, and ecological zones. Many historians (and many non-historians like Jared Diamond) have focused on questions of global inequality, and especially why the West came to dominate the rest of the world in the modern era. We delve into the differences between world, global, international, transnational, and big histories. We will critically assess the merits of classic texts, such as those written by Fernand Braudel, William H. McNeill, and Christopher Bayly. and what they tell us about such important topics as causation, conceptions of time and the purpose of history. | ||||||||

| This course provides graduate students in all subfields of history with training and practice in producing an article-length research paper based on primary sources. We will explore the basic tasks of choosing a topic, framing a central question, identifying and interpreting primary and secondary sources, reading and note-taking, developing an argument, outlining, drafting, and revising a paper. We will analyze several exemplary articles by graduate students as models for students own work. The course is designed to help students progress through the various stages of research and writing by setting up a series of procedural deadlines and reading and responding to each others work at several steps along the way. | ||||||||

| Imperial Afterlives Imperial Afterlives. How do empires end? What sorts of futures were imagined by the architects of post-imperial states and how were these challenged by events on the ground? This seminar considers the unraveling of imperial entities following the First and Second World Wars, focusing especially on Europes multi-national land empires and the British and French imperia. Other modern global empires may also be explored, including the resonance of imperial formations in Americas colonial holdings. Readings and discussion address the enduring legacies of empire, including shifting definitions of citizenship and sovereignty, the consolidation of national identification, border-making and the impact of plebiscites, the rise of statelessness and the growth of civilian internment camps, the fate of imperial civil servants, the structure of social welfare programs, the evolution of constitutions, the postimperial flow of capital, and the rise of smuggling operations. | ||||||||
