| 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. | ||||||||

| This course surveys the history of the Middle East from the pre-Islamic era to recent events and debates. You will study the culture and milieu in which Islam emerged, its remarkably quick expansion, the new cultural syntheses these early conquests produced, and the political and religious forms they engendered. As we move into the more stable middle period, you will learn about the similarities and differences between the various empires that ruled the areas now known as the Middle East, and how they produced distinctive identities while drawing on a common religious heritage. Towards the end of the semester, we will examine the impact of European colonialism, attempts at modernization in the turbulent nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the particular challenges that face the Middle East today. Throughout, we pay attention to the various political, religious, economic and social components of the historical moments we study, as well as the various sectors of Middle Eastern society. | ||||||||

| After the establishment of New RomeConstantinoplein the fourth century CE, Roman identity, culture, and politics began a long, steady transition and transformation into what some scholars call the Byzantine empire. All this time, the people who lived in this polity understood themselves to be Romans. Of course, Christianity was a central feature of these developments, but equally important were interactions and conflicts with the peoples of Near and Middle East, north Africa, western Asia, medieval Europe, the Balkans, and the Islamic Caliphates. This course will explore these complex and fascinating processes, with a focus on how the developing institutions of the Byzantine empire exhibited both continuity with and change from the ancient Mediterranean world. | ||||||||

| 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. | ||||||||

| This class will provide an overview of lands, peoples, and states of East Central Europe (Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary) and Southeastern Europe (Bulgaria, Romania, former Yugoslavia, and Albania) from medieval times to the present. It will explore medieval kingdoms; the gradual domination of the region by four powerful empires (Austrian, German, Ottoman, and Russian); everyday life in multinational communities and the rise of national ideologies; World War I and the challenges of creating independent nation states; World War II, Nazi and Soviet occupations, national conflicts, and the destruction of the Jewish community; political, social, and economic developments under communism; the revolutions of 1989; the tragic break-up of Yugoslavia; and the regions transition to liberal democracy.

Rather than presenting fixed narratives or models, this class aims to inspire students to think about the contingent and ambiguous nature of historical developments as they were experienced by people of diverse interests and backgrounds. Alongside the account of Eastern European history, we will ask questions such as What is Eastern Europe? Who has defined the region and what have been the stakes and implications in doing so? | ||||||||

| 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 offers a survey of radical social movements in the United States from the American Revolution to the present. Well consider what radicalism means, the different forms of radicalism that have challenged the structures and boundaries of American society in different periods, and the relation between radicalism, reaction, and reform. For the purposes of this course, radicalism refers to ideas, campaigns, and movements aimed at fundamental transformation of the American social order. Radicalism can arise from widely divergent and opposing political perspectives, and it can be driven by grassroots popular dissent or by elite efforts. Through most of American history, however, the most influential and sustained radical movements have arisen in opposition to the power of entrenched wealth and privilege. | ||||||||

| 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 or abolitionists Cugoano and Equiano, or the Haitian revolution, the question of race overlaps with that of 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 reveals the mixture of admiration and envy expressed by pre-revolutionary French writers when looking at England. 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 Indiahe was prescient about the British empire in India overstepping its limits. | ||||||||

| Who are U.S. Latinos/as/x/e? As of 2025, they number 68 million people, making up over 20% of the nations population. While some are recent arrivals, many more trace their ancestry in this country back generations. Yet as a group, they are frequently cast as newcomers, guests, or not truly Americans or part of the nations past. How long have they existed in North America? What is the historical relationship between the U.S. and the rest of the hemisphere? Why does it matter to include Latinos as part of US history? We will explore these & other questions, beginning with Spanish colonization in the 1500s and the encounters between Europeans, Africans & indigenous peoples in the Americas up through the northward migration of millions of Latin Americans over the twentieth century. We will consider the contributions U.S. Latinos have made in labor, politics, education, popular culture, & much more. | ||||||||

| Methods: Approaches to History Research methodology and analytical writing in the field of history. What is history? How have historians analyzed change and meaning in the past? How have historians drawn on other disciplines, from literature to economics? In this course, we will study a range of influential approaches to history, with emphasis on the meanings and legacies of social history. Building on these discussions, students will develop independent research projects in the final third of the course. | ||||||||

| Methods: What is History? How do we understand the past? Why do we as a society memorialize the past? How does the past relate to the present? These are some of the questions we will collectively consider in this course on historical methods. The primary goal of the course will be to develop our comprehension of history as a form of inquiry and understanding. We will do this through an engagement with questions historians have asked about the diverse methods of assessing the past. What do we consider primary sources? How do we assess archives and sources when writing about the past? The course will consist of collectively reading books and articles by historians reflecting on the practice of history, the place of the past in the present and historical methods of inquiry. The course will also introduce students to the library and its many resources to conduct historical research. Students will be given time to work independently on a research topic for their final paper. | ||||||||

| 3 hours Spanish Aztec War The new history of the Spanish Conquest of Mexico: New perspectives on the Spanish-Aztec War. For centuries, the so-called Spanish Conquest of Mexico has been seen as the quick, relatively easy triumph of cunning (but cruel) Spaniards over superstitious noble savage Aztecs, due mostly to European technological superiority. While such beliefs persist in popular thought, historians, largely thanks to new studies of Indigenous historical accounts, have dramatically overturned this view. In this course, we will examine historians new, more accurate understanding of Hernando Corts war against the Aztec Empire from 1519 21. 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 first look at the rise of the Aztec Empire and Iberian colonialism, and how the pre-colonial histories of Mexico and Iberia shaped their eventual encounter. Then we will trace step-by-step how exactly Corts overthrew the Aztec Empire not through cunning and absolute cultural or technological superiority, but rather through alliances with Natives and by taking advantage of epidemic disease. We will then look at new understandings and historical analyses of the aftermath of the Spanish-Aztec War, which have exposed Spanish colonization as a much more fragile and incomplete process than has been previously assumed. As a class, we will debunk and deflate 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. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago. | ||||||||

Instead of a comprehensive history of migration across time and space, the course will consider different ways of conceptualizing migrationas the movement of people, plants, diseases, ideas, and cultural practices. We will attain to the micro and the macro; to experience and identity; to labor and empire; to political and artistic traditions; and to migration and the environment. In the process, the course will serve as an opportunity for reflection on historys interaction with other disciplines, including economics, literature, and anthropology. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago. | ||||||||

| 3 hours European Intellectual History To be human is to speculate on the whys and wherefores of our existence. What does it mean to live in this world? How best to reconcile our individuality with the collective imperatives of human survival? What constitutes a good life, and how might society be organized to realize this aim? To these questions, Europes thinking classes have generated a great plurality of answers over the centuries, answers that inform our intellectual speculations to this day. This course offers an introductory survey of this legacy, beginning with the French Revolution and concluding with the age of decolonization. Along the way, we examine some of the figures who initiated or enriched these conversations, including Burke, (Mary) Shelley, Marx, Mill, Nietzsche, Darwin, Weber and de Beauvoir. And, because ideas are not bound by country or even continents, we conclude with Hannah Arendt, a Jewish German refugee from Nazi Germany who became a prominent public intellectual in Cold War America, and Franz Fanon, whose Wretched of the Earth became a powerful manifesto of anticolonial emancipation in the 1960s. Intensive reading and classroom discussion, drawn from texts by these and other authors, provide the lifeblood of this course. (Lectures will be kept at a minimum!). Several (mostly short) writing assignments, coupled with an end-of-semester paper, make up the remainder of course requirements. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago. | ||||||||

| 3 hours Internships are a great way for History majors 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 five 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 students 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. Apply at https://go.uic.edu/HIST499 | ||||||||

| 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. Alongside specific historical studies that advance a world history perspective, we will explore debates about what is global, transnational, and world histories, and why they are worth pursuing. We will critically assess the merits of classic texts and the directions taken by the most recent historiography. | ||||||||

| 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. | ||||||||

| Chicago's Westside Histories This course is connected to a large, grant-funded history project called, The Near West Side Renewal Project. The project team, with faculty from History, Global Asian Studies, Education, and Urban Planning aim to document the building of the University of Illinois Chicago campus as an urban renewal project of the 1960s, and the related histories and legacies of displacement and organizing on the Near West Side and West Side of Chicago. Our community partners include the North Lawndale Historical and Cultural Society, which chronicles the history of the North Lawndale community and educates the community about North Lawndales cultural assets, people, and architecture; the National Public Housing Museum, located in the last remaining building of the 1930s WPA-era Jane Addams Homes; the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, which itself was partly destroyed to make UIC. This course will begin with exploring the history of Chicagos westside and will then turn to historical research (which could potentially include oral histories, archival work, storytelling, community workshops, community tours, and other reciprocal public humanities practices) to document the history and legacies of urban renewal in the wake of UICs building and expansion since the 1960s. | ||||||||

| Global Childhoods The course will introduce graduate students to the history of childhood from a global perspective. We will read key texts in the field in order to gain exposure to the diverse experiences of young people, as well as the varied understandings of childhood, across different temporal, cultural, and geographic contexts. By examining the experiences, reception, and treatment of children in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, the course will encourage students to critically analyze and reappraise the following major themes: enslavement, migration, family life, labor, education, criminalization, incarceration, advocacy, civil rights, and citizenship. | ||||||||

| Nature of Empire This course will consider the nature of empire as a state form. How did the empires work? Why were some more durable than others? Were colonial empires distinctive? The course will also consider how empire was experienced by subjects, and especially how imperial rulers dealt with cultural difference. Students will read through a selection of seminal works that speak to various aspects of empire, and which consider a range of case studies from the early modern and modern periods. | ||||||||
