HSTAA 231 Race and American History
Roneva Keel
Asynchronous online
A-Term
Surveys United States history, by exploring how race has enabled conceptions of the American nation and shaped everyday practices and interactions among different peoples. How have racial concepts, representations, and practices fundamentally defined power dynamics in American culture? From slave revolts to the Black Lives Matter movement, how have organizations and individuals struggled to pursue racial justice? (I&S, DIV, W)
HSTCMP 290 Indiana Jones and Archaeology in the Mediterranean World
Arna Elezovic
MTWTh 12:00pm – 2:10pm
B-Term
Tomb robbers, adventurers, spies, and gentlemen (and some women) travelers played a central but problematic role in developing the modern discipline of archaeology. This course will use the lives of such travelers, their archaeological discoveries, and well-known artifacts as case studies to explore the themes of the “rediscovery” of the ancient world and concurrent imperialism around the Mediterranean from 1700s to the 20th century. The goal of the course is to differentiate between romanticized archaeological stories and the actuality of European imperial projects, such as the acquisition of material objects for European museums. (I&S, W optional)
HSTCMP 284 History of Sex
Adrian Kane-Galbraith
MW 10:50am—1:00pm
Full-Term
This course traces the history of sex (acts and desires as well as related notions of gender) from medieval Europe through nineteenth and twentieth century Europe and its colonies to the present. Examines the dramatic changes in how people thought about sex, changes that touch on important questions in women’s and gender history, the history of racism and oppression, the history of religion, and the history of politics and society. (I&S, DIV)
