Course Renumbering Note: Starting Spring 2022, several of our courses will have new numbers. They are the same course, but simply renumbered to the 100 level to align with the rest of the survey-level courses. Here are the courses that have changed for Spring 2022 Old Course Number New Course Numbers HST 204: Women in Modern America HST 116: Women, Gender, and Sexuality in America HST 206: History of Science II: Modern Science HST 112: History of Science II: Modern Science HST 210: History of Medicine HST 119: History of Medicine The fundamental premise upon which this class rests is that social justice in American society has long been characterized by diversity, that “whites” and “people of color are multiple in their roots and multiple in their branches, and that this multiplicity has been evident in virtually every aspect of their culture and in the social institutions they have constructed since arriving in this country in the seventeenth century. The debates in this class offer a lens on how different voices and viewpoints have shaped public opinion in modern American history. The course is not intended to be a complete or linear history of the push for social justice and liberation in modern America society. Indeed, the thematic divisions of the course are not intended to suggest a natural unity inherent in the body of global discourse as a whole. Rather, the divisions are intended to suggest those ideas that most consistently informed American history during the second half of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century. HST 290 – Practice of History – Pollard CRN: 22572 The course will begin with Arabs and Jews under the Ottomans and conclude with the British Mandate (1920- 1948). We will look at the early decades of encounters between Arabs and Jews prior to the onset of "the crisis." HST 292 – Introductions to Modern Asian History Survey of the history of East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia since 1800. Examines the practices of Western colonialism and imperialism, Asia’s challenges to Western dominance through revolutions, wars, reforms and non-violent struggles in the twentieth century, and Asia’s domestic and international development since WWII. This class can be a substitute for the global history survey requirement for majors and minors. CRN: 22939, 22940 HST 295-800 (Online): African American History Since 1954 This course covers the scope of African American history and ideas from the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement (1950-1954) to the present. Unlike some forms of history, which are little more than memorization of dates and events, the history of ideas instead asks students to assess and interact with the ideas and values of the culture in which they live. In an attempt to better understand the origins, development, structure, and progression of racial discourse and practice, this course, African-American History, analyzes the cultural politics and ideology of particular debates to comprehend the role these debates played in shaping arguments over what social justice and liberation struggles mean in American society. The debates in this class offer a lens on how different voices, primarily African-American voices and viewpoints, have shaped public opinion in modern American history. The course is not intended to be a complete or linear history of the race in modern America society. Indeed, the thematic divisions of the course are not intended to suggest a natural unity inherent in the body of global discourse as a whole. Rather, the divisions are intended to suggest those ideas that most consistently informed American history during the second half of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century. HST 306 – Ancient Greece and Rome - Ellithorpe A study of the civilization of ancient Greece and Rome with special emphasis on Greek classical period and the Pax Romana CRN: 22588 HST 321 – History of Modern France - Seidman History of France from the French Revolution and Napoleon through the political, economic and social developments of the nineteenth century to the World Wars of the twentieth century.

CRN: 22546 HST 333 – American Social History - Hart This course explores the social history of the coastal United States by examining the ways that people have inhabited, imagined, and utilized the shoreline historically. Topics may include: the social history of whaling and fishing, hurricanes and shipwrecks, coastal living and development, climate change and preservation, and the role of the beach in American history. By exploring the social history of the coast, we will better understand historical change and its implications for race, gender, class, and the environment in America. CRN: 23043 HST 334 – Public History - Saunders A study of the ways in which historians practice outside of the academy. Topics include historic preservation, museum interpretation, cultural resource management, media, and archives. Class may include guest speakers and field trips.

It examines not only modern Japan’s domestic political and social development but also how Japan in the late nineteenth century and in the late twentieth century twice rose to global economic prominence with little natural resources. CRN: 22681 HST 377 – The Vietnam War - McFarland The Vietnam War is an intensive, in-depth study of the Vietnam War covering the period from World War II to the reunification of Vietnam in 1975, though many events and topics before and after this period with be covered to provide a proper perspective of the war and its implications. Approaching the war from an international viewpoint, the course will focus on historical background, colonization and decolonization, ideologies, causes, strategies and tactics, battles and campaigns, technologies, politics, culture and the arts (the music, film, and literature of the war and the anti-war), international relations, diplomacy, social impacts, economics, and historiography (the battle over who won or lost the war). The course will attempt to answer the questions, “Why did the United States win every battle of the Vietnam War, yet still lose the war and why did Communist forces lose every battle, yet still win the war?” CRN: 22590 HST 442 – The American Dream: US Economic History from 1900 to Present – Gisolfi CRN:HST 442: 22803 HST 525: 22806 What is the American Dream? Satisfying, remunerative work and the promise of upward mobility? The material and psychological security provided by comfortable housing, nutritious food, good health, and educational opportunities for one's family? The pleasures of enjoying leisure time and stimulating entertainment, rather than having one's life defined entirely by work? This course will explore the struggles, conflicts, and achievements of the workers, managers, consumers, political leaders, intellectuals, and participants in mass social movements who defined and redefined the American Dream over the twentieth century. HST 480/580 – Researching Local History – White CRN: HST 480: 22739; HST 580: 22740 HST 481 – Topics in African History – Amponsah CRN: HST 481: 22808; HST 581: 22811 This course is focuses on African women and development. African women’s history is rich and deeply layered. This course explores that history through time (pre-colonial, colonial, and postcolonial) with specific focus on regions south of the Sahara. A broad range of topics would be explored in the socio-cultural, political, and economic aspects of women’s lives including women as healers, farmers, slaves, mothers, wives, leaders, traders/entrepreneurs and as sustainers of African societies. We will pay special attention to the effect of the structural adjustment program on women and women’s roles in environmental and sustainable development in the political, economic, and socio-cultural spaces. Sustainability refers to the forms of progress that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. We will explore the argument that without the full input of women, sustainable development will be impossible in many African countries. HST 495/595 – History of Modern Africa – TBA CRN: HST 495: 22687; HST 595: 22690 HST 495/595 – Witchcraft, Black Magic, and Demonology in the Premodern World – Ellithorpe Magic and religion were not mutually exclusive categories in the premodern world but instead enjoyed a deeply symbiotic relationship whose dividing lines were often quite blurred. However, the practice of black magic, which, loosely defined, aims to cause harm to others through the channeling and summoning of evil spirits, was considered to operate well outside of acceptable cultural behavior. While persecution and criminalization of black magic are less prevalent in the pre-Christian world, various condemnations and consequences were faced by practitioners (whether actual or alleged) despite the culture or era within which they feature. The belief in black magic, witchcraft, and necromancy and their perceived potential for societal danger reveal much about the cultures that produced them, how they perceived their place in world and its frailty, how they reacted to broader socio-cultural changes, and given the ingrained and pervasive connection between women and black magic, they also reveal much about the social construction of gender and the role of women. This course investigates a vast range of evidence from the premodern world regarding the practice and representation of witchcraft and how, across various cultures and societies, it deviated from established and permitted cultural and religious traditions. For each society considered, we will examine their constructs of appropriate religious practice and belief before considering the unique way(s) in which black magic and witchcraft emerge from, engage with, and (at times) react to socio-political structures. This course has a
