7026	HIST-204-01	The Crusades	1.00	LEC	Elukin,Jonathan	TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM	TBA		HUM
		Enrollment limited to 100
		From the eleventh through the fifteenth centuries, Christians from Western Europe were pitted in a series of holy wars against their Islamic, Pagan, and even other Christian neighbors. This course offers a multi-faceted look at military, political, religious, and cultural themes from the era of the Crusades. The idea of "crusade" has survived to this day and has as much, if not more, cultural significance now than at its inception in 1095.
7015	HIST-221-01	Science,Religion&Nature	1.00	LEC	Cocco,Sean	TR: 1:30PM- 2:45PM	TBA		HUM
		Enrollment limited to 35
		The astronomer Galileo Galilei’s trial before the Roman Inquisition nearly four centuries ago endures as a symbol of the clash between science and religion. Undoubtedly, the rise of early modern science in 17th-century Europe provoked its share of battles, but was this the whole story? This course will lead students to consider the origin and extent of the apparently irreconcilable differences between world views. How wide was the rift between science and religion, especially before the Enlightenment? Students will be encouraged to explore this complex relationship in historical context, by weighing the coexistence of scientific curiosity and intense faith, and also by considering the religious response to the expanding horizons of knowledge. The course will highlight investigations of the heavens and the earth, thus seeking instructive comparisons between disciplines such as astronomy, botany, and geology. A number of broad themes will be the focus. These include the understanding of God and nature, authority (classical and scriptural) versus observation, the wide range of knowledge-making practices, the place of magic, and finally the influence of power and patronage. The class seeks to present a rich and exciting picture, looking forward as well to the influence of rational thinking and scientific inquiry on the making of modernity.
6513	HIST-223-01	Japan into the Mod World	1.00	LEC	Bayliss,Jeffrey	MW: 8:30AM- 9:45AM	TBA		GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 35
		This course begins by looking at the nature of Japanese society and culture during the height of samurai rule under the Tokugawa regime, which set the stage for Japan’s tumultuous entry into the modern world. It then examines the social, economic, and cultural transformations that occurred in Japan from its initial encounter with Western modernity, through its rise to military superpower status in the first half of the 20th century and its reemergence as an economic superpower in the second half. Students will be encouraged to gain a greater understanding of the problems that have shaped Japan, by exploring the challenges, conflicts, triumphs, and tragedies of modernization, industrialization, and nation-building as the Japanese experienced them in the 19th and 20th centuries.
7145	HIST-234-01	Paris, Vienna & Berlin, 19thC	1.00	LEC	Passman,Elana M.	TR: 2:55PM- 4:10PM	TBA
		Enrollment limited to 35
		Paris, Vienna, and Berlin exert a powerful hold on our imaginations. Home to Renoir and Jules Verne, Beethoven and Freud, Hegel and Bismarck, these great metropolises underwent enormous transformations across the span of the 19th century. This course explores these European capitals from the heights of the Eiffel Tower to the depths of their sewers. Using art, literature, and film, this course investigates the fantasies that have been projected onto these capitals. We will then compare these images and myths with the realities of everyday life. How did ordinary residents - workers, immigrants, students, criminals - actually experience urban life? Key themes will include urban redevelopment, social control, consumer culture, revolutionary cultures, and the capital as a cultural center.
7017	HIST-236-01	Latin America since 1800	1.00	LEC	Figueroa,Luis A.	TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM	TBA		GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 35
		This course will examine the history of Latin America after Spanish rule, from 1821 to the present, focusing on the development of social inequality, civil conflict, and revolution. Cultural and political developments in countries like Brazil, Mexico, Cuba, and Venezuela will be discussed, and the U.S. role in the region, especially toward Central America, will also be considered. Finally, we will examine the historical construction of hierarchies based on race, gender, and economic position, and how those hierarchies have influenced the nature of social and political strife.
6505	HIST-239-01	Race&Ethn in LatAm&Carib	1.00	LEC	Cancelled				GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 20
		This course will introduce students to the history of race and ethnic relations in Latin America and the Caribbean from the arrival of Columbus to the late 20th century. We will explore how the categories of race and ethnicity in Latin America and the Caribbean have undergone a very different evolution when compared to the U.S. Two distinguishing facts that make race and ethnic history in Latin America and the Caribbean different from the U.S.: the much larger “Indian” populations that the Spaniards confronted and, secondly, the larger number of peoples of African descent transferred as slaves to Latin America and the Caribbean. This course will examine this process in the context of colonization, post-Independence political systems, nation-state formation, and contemporary struggles over different identities. This course includes a community learning component.
7028	HIST-242-01	History of China, Qing to Pres	1.00	LEC	Lestz,Michael E.	MWF: 9:00AM- 9:50AM	TBA		GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 100
		A survey of modern Chinese history in the period covering the last traditional dynastic state (1644-1911) and 20th-century China. Emphasis on the collapse of the Confucian state, China’s “Enlightenment,” and the Chinese Revolution.
7020	HIST-247-01	Latinos/Latinas in USA	1.00	LEC	Figueroa,Luis A.	M: 1:15PM- 3:55PM	TBA		HUM
		Enrollment limited to 35
		Who are “Latinos/Latinas” and how have they come to constitute a central ethnic/racial category in the contemporary United States? This is the organizing question around which this course examines the experiences of major Latino/Latina groups—Chicanos/Mexicanos, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans—and new immigrants from Central America and the Caribbean. We study U.S. colonialism and imperialism in the Old Mexican North and the Caribbean; migration and immigration patterns and policies; racial, gender, and class distinctions; cultural and political expressions and conflicts; return migrations and transnationalism; and inter-ethnic relations and the construction of pan-Latino/Latina diasporic identities.
7030	HIST-252-01	African History to 1880	1.00	LEC	Markle,Seth M.	TR: 9:25AM-10:40AM	TBA		GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 35
		This course is the first part of a two-part introductory survey of African history. We will explore the rich and varied civilizations and cultures in Africa, as well as how elements of these cultures have been carried throughout the world. Because "African" as a uniform term is a creation of a later time, this course seeks to distinguish among various populations and regions on this immense continent. Beginning with human origins on the continent, we will address the major social, economic, religious, and political movements in Africa through the era of the Atlantic slave trade. Topics will include the peopling of Africa; ancient societies and African empires; African technology such as tools, weapons, art, and music; African religions and the spread of Islam and Christianity; famous early Africans such as Mansa Musa, warrior queen Nzinga, and Shaka Zulu; trans-Saharan and Indian Ocean trading routes; and the development and impact of the Atlantic slave trade.
7141	HIST-291-01	French Pol & Cult, 1715-1815	1.00	LEC	Kete,Kathleen	TR: 1:30PM- 2:45PM	TBA		HUM
		Enrollment limited to 100
		This course begins with an examination of the central themes of the French Enlightenment and contrasts them with the politics of court life under Louis XV and Louis XVI. It will then explore the causes and the trajectory of the Revolution (1789-1799) through the use of primary documents. We will consider the shifts from absolutism to constitutional monarchy to radical republic in terms of the development in France of a modern political culture. The course will conclude with a discussion of Napoleon’s rise to power in 1799 and the meaning of the Napoleonic Empire, which collapsed at Waterloo in 1815, as well as a consideration of the legacy of the French Revolution in politics today.

7016	HIST-304-01	Renaissance Italy	1.00	LEC	Cocco,Sean	TR: 6:30PM- 7:45PM	TBA		HUM
		Enrollment limited to 25
		This course explores the origin, distinctiveness, and importance of the Italian Renaissance. It is also about culture, society, and identity in the many “Italies” that existed before the modern period. Art, humanism, and the link between cultural patronage and political power will be a focus, as will the lives of 15th- and 16th-century women and men. Early lectures will trace the evolution of the Italian city-states, outlining the social and political conditions that fostered the cultural flowering of the 1400s and 1500s. We will consider Florence in the quattrocento, and subsequently shift to Rome in the High Renaissance. Later topics will include the papacy’s return to the Eternal City, the art of Michelangelo and Raphael, and the ambitions of the warlike and mercurial Pope Julius II. Italy was a politically fragmented peninsula characterized by cultural, linguistic, and regional differences. For this reason, other topics will include: the fortunes of Venice, the courts of lesser city-states like Mantua and Ferrara, the life of Alessandra Strozzi, and the exploits of the “lover and fighter” Benvenuto Cellini. We will also look at representations of the Renaissance in film.
7034	HIST-315-01	Star Trek and 1960s America	1.00	LEC	Greenberg,Cheryl	TR: 9:25AM-10:40AM	TBA
		Enrollment limited to 25
		NOTE: This course is affiliated with the Co-Education Co-Curricular Initiative for 2009-2010. Students enrolled in this course may enroll concurrently in College Course 150 “Co-Education: Past, Present, and Future” for 0.25 or 0.50 credit. Permission of instructor required.
		For many, the 1960s were the “final frontier,” as young people, African-Americans, women, conservatives, members of the “New Left” and many others struggled to re-imagine their lives and the life of their nation. Originally intended as a “Wagon Train to the Stars,” Star Trek came to embody the 1960s spirit, both reflecting and reflecting on the many pressing issues of the day. This course will examine important issues in the 1960s from Vietnam to the counterculture, from race to shifting sexual norms, from new technology to workers’ rights, through the television show that explored the “strange new worlds” of its time.
7021	HIST-325-07	The Civil Rights Movement	1.00	LEC	Greenberg,Cheryl	TR: 1:30PM- 2:45PM	TBA		HUM
		Enrollment limited to 25
		NOTE: This course is affiliated with the Co-Education Co-Curricular Initiative for 2009-2010. Students enrolled in this course may enroll concurrently in College Course 150 “Co-Education: Past, Present, and Future” for 0.25 or 0.50 credit. Permission of instructor required.
		The course examines the major social and political developments of the civil rights era and the different strategies for social reform that emerged within the Black Freedom Movements in the North and in the South. Major topics will include the post-World War II emergence of the civil rights movement in the North, the rise of the Southern civil rights movement, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, urban revolt, SNCC, the Black Panthers, the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement, and Vietnam.

7142	HIST-345-01	U.S. & Vietnam: Warring States	1.00	LEC	Chatfield,John H. Lestz,Michael E.	MWF: 11:00AM-11:50AM	TBA		GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 100
		Probably no set of events in the post-war history of the United States has so torn the fabric of American political life and values as the war in Vietnam. The war tested American foreign and military policy aims in Asia and became the object of a soul-searching national controversy that engaged the energies of millions of Americans and tried the collective conscience of the nation. For the Vietnamese people, the war was a harsh experience that evoked sacrifice and suffering in the name of revolution and independence. Vietnam’s struggle with the United States represented in symbolic and practical terms an attempt to resolve questions of national identity and sovereignty that were the legacy of foreign domination and an ambiguous encounter with European culture and society. This course will examine the Vietnam War through a variety of historical materials including monographs, documents, novels, and memoirs. Films and guest-lectures will supplement the core readings. Readings will include: George Herring, America's Longest War; John Lewis Gaddis, Strategies of Containment; James Carroll, American Requeiem; Truong Nhu Tang, A Viet Cong Memoir; and Tim O’Brien, If I Die in a Combat Zone.
7025	HIST-354-01	Civil War and Reconstr	1.00	LEC	Gac,Scott	TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM	TBA		HUM
		Enrollment limited to 30
		This course examines not only the military dimensions of the war years but also such topics as politics in the Union and the Confederacy, the presidential leadership of Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, women in the Union and Confederate war efforts, and the struggle over emancipation. The latter part of the course considers post-war political, social, and economic developments, including nearly four million African Americans' transition from slavery to freedom, the conflict over how to reconstruct the former Confederate states, the establishment of bi-racial governments in those states, and the eventual overthrow of Reconstruction by conservative white "Redeemers." Lectures and discussions.
7018	HIST-362-01	The Samurai Warrior in History	1.00	LEC	Bayliss,Jeffrey	WF: 1:15PM- 2:30PM	TBA		GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 25
		The samurai were as important for Japan’s historical and cultural transformation as they are misunderstood. This course aims at separating the myth from the reality of the samurai, by examining the history of Japanese warriors and the culture they created, from their lowly origins in antiquity through their rise to hegemony during the 13th through 18th centuries, to their eventual disappearance as a distinct class in the 19th century. We will also examine the evolving image of the samurai warrior and his supposedly rigid moral code of conduct, as it appears in literature and film, from some of the earliest appearances of such images right up to today. Our purpose in examining these images of the samurai is not only to distinguish myth from reality, but also to explore the political purposes such images have been put to in legitimating samurai rule prior to the 20th century, and in informing Japanese views of themselves and non-Japanese views of Japan in the years since.
7027	HIST-366-01	History of the Book	1.00	LEC	Elukin,Jonathan	M: 1:15PM- 3:55PM	TBA	Y
		Enrollment limited to 15
		NOTE: This course is taught in conjunction with COLL 205, Printing and Book Arts. Preference will be given to students who register for both courses as the subject matter, readings, and activities will be linked.
		This course is designed to give students an extensive introduction to issues in the history of the book, including: the origins of writing, the transition from roll to codex, medieval literacy and book technology, the impact of printing, the nature of reading in early modern Europe, and the future of the book in the digital age.
7023	HIST-377-01	After Empire	1.00	SEM	Pennybacker,Susan D.	TR: 2:55PM- 4:10PM	TBA		GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 25
		This course is open to students returning to Trinity from study abroad in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cape Town, Trinidad and Australia, or from study in other regions formerly-governed by and influenced by British imperialism. Students planning future study in these locations are also welcome. This course addresses the modern history of British colonialism, immigration to and from the UK, liberation, racism, imperial decline, and the impact of wider global cultures upon contemporary urban life. How have the political cultures, demographics and economics of empire and its downfall, transformed the present-day UK? How has the legacy of British rule helped to shape dissent, political struggle and cultural patterns in territories and amongst peoples of the former empire? Students will reconsider and reflect upon their mutual and conflicting encounters with the imperial legacy. They will interact with members of the Asian, Middle Eastern, African, West Indian and Irish communities in Hartford and its region. Readings, film, and an engagement with the arts, assist in this examination of student experiences. How does study abroad alter our critical understandings of Britain’s continuing sense of global entitlement, seen through the lens of the aspirations and perceptions of her former subjects and their descendants?

7035	HIST-401-54	Korea/Japan Hist Perspective	1.00	LEC	Bayliss,Jeffrey	M: 1:15PM- 3:55PM	TBA		GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 15
		This course provides students with an overview of the history of relations between Korea and Japan, and the cultural, social, political, and economic impact these close but often contentious “Asian neighbors” have had upon each other from ancient to modern times. Through extensive readings and class discussions, students will also gain a detailed understanding of the historiography of Korean-Japanese relations and the debates that still inform the ways the Japanese and Koreans—both North and South—view one another today. The course requires the production of a significant research paper on a topic to be decided upon in consultation with the instructor. No prior coursework in Korean or Japanese history is required, but students with no background in the histories of these countries will be asked to do additional reading to obtain a better understand of the historical contexts encountered in the regular readings.
7031	HIST-402-30	Transnationalism	1.00	SEM	Pennybacker,Susan D.	W: 1:15PM- 3:55PM	TBA
		Enrollment limited to 15
		This course is open to junior History majors only.
		We explore the new trend in global, "transnational" historical approaches through the close examination of several recent history books whose authors adopted its methods. The texts cover several time periods and several world regions. We will pursue the works' archives, authors and arguments to acquire a deeper knowledge of contemporary shifts in thinking in the profession and the ways that short and long studies--including those that students can produce--take advantage of a global approach. We will also look for the limitations inherent in such inclusive scholarly ambition. Readings include: L. Colley, S. Pennybacker, M. Rediker, S. Amrith and A. Mukherji and I. Hofmeyr. The seminar will meet intermittently in conjunction with the term's speakers' series in African Studies and the Indian Ocean, though it fully engages Euro-American material. Some of the works' authors will appear on campus.

		In a few decades after its forcible opening as a treaty port in 1842, Shanghai emerged as one of Asia's greatest ports. From a provincial town on the mud flats of the Huangpu River, it grew to an international city that played a defining in China's role as a catalyst for cultural, social, and economic change. After 1937, war, civil war, and revolution put the brakes on Shanghai's advance and the city temporarily slipped into the doldrums. However, after a period of eclipse, Shanghai emerged again in China's reform era as one of the world's leading centers of trade and a meeting place of civilizations. Using historical, literary, and documentary materials, this course will reflect on the evolution of Shanghai and the role it played as a catalyst for change in the transformation of southeastern China from the Opium War forward.

		Enrollment limited to 7
		This course open to senior History majors only.
		This course examines the Depression and New Deal, World War II, and the Cold War. During this period, an activist welfare state/national security state and a national mass culture took form, shaped by responses to economic crisis and economic opportunity, the gathering power of popular-culture media and advertising, and wars hot and cold. Both political topics (e.g., New Deal labor or civil rights policies, McCarthyism) and social and cultural topics (e.g., the World War II home front, changing gender roles, suburbanization) will be investigated. Course materials include fiction, movies, and other documents from the period, as well as outstanding works of historical analysis and synthesis.

		This seminar explores the modern history of the overthrow of democratically elected regimes in Latin America by military and civilian organized violence. We will explore key cases, from the Dominican Republic and Brazil in 1963 and 1964, through Chile in 1973 and Argentina in 1974, El Salvador in 1979, Venezuela in 2002, and Honduras in 2009. What explains these violent changes of government? What have been the implications for these societies? For human rights? For US- Latin American relations?

		During the Second World War, France experienced the so-called "dark years" when it was divided and occupied by Nazi Germany. This course assesses the political, social, economic, and cultural order imposed by the Nazis. What kind of occupation regime did the Nazis construct? It then grapples with the choices individuals made at this crossroads in French history. Was France a nation of collaborators or a nation of resisters? What did it mean to collaborate and what did it mean to resist? Looking at a wide range of issues from rationing to mass deportations, we will address how historians, writers, and filmmakers have tried to make sense of this troubled period.

		Human civilizations and communities have been shaped by the ability and desire to gain access to critical resources for survival. Economic globalization has created competition for resources—ranging from oil to diamonds to water—that has influenced social and political structures in the contemporary world. This course looks at the impact of modern globalization on the continent of Africa. Situating Africa historically in its relationship to “the West” through the Atlantic slave trade and European colonialism, we will explore the consequences of Africa’s unequal role in this system. We will be investigating the links between civil conflict, resource control, social justice, poverty, and international movements that attempt to address these issues.

We will examine, first, the works on European urban history and theory by authors like Walter Benjamin, Henri Lefebvre, and David Harvey, followed by works on urbanism in the United States, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. We will focus on comparative assessments of urban space, planning and the built environment; on socioeconomic structures, ideologies and practices or production, reproduction, and consumption; and on urban politics and culture. Throughout, we will pay special attention to the relationship between the emergence and evolution of capitalism and modern urban life. Priority enrollment for INTS majors, but the course is open to non-INTS juniors and seniors with prior approval from the instructor.
