We learn about how printed controversies fit into the worldview of learned and popular Europeans of the time; how these controversies continue to reverberate even in modern American society; and how working with primary sources can help you become more astute and informed consumers of “news” during the political and cultural controversies of our day.

HIST 240 - Global Environmental History
Unit(s): 4
This course introduces students to the methods and sources of environmental history, a field that seeks to understand the changing relationship between human societies and the natural world. Since global environmental history is at times an unwieldy historical field, I have chosen to organize the course around two axes which are important in the framing of historical research-geographical scope and timescale. The impacts of environmental change can be local (clearing a field), regional (damming a river), or global (pollution). As such, the choice of a unit of analysis shapes how a historian approaches a topic and their conclusions. Similarly, where a historian chooses to begin and end their story has implications for their final interpretation. The choice of geographical and chronological scope influences the methods environmental historians use to recover the past. In addition to drawing upon traditional documentary sources, environmental historians often work in an interdisciplinary fashion, incorporating scientific data and methods with those of the humanities and social sciences. To better understand this process we will interrogate a sampling of environmental history methods and the sources, including “big history,” evolutionary history, transnational and regional history, comparative history, and ecosystem or microhistory.

Unit(s): 4
During the Renaissance, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci began to experiment with new visual techniques, theorists such as Machiavelli forwarded bold and new political ideas, and Italian merchants began to perfect an economy based on currency and trade. These developments helped end the Middle Ages and, in the long run, paved the way for the rise of secularism, individualism, mass communication, and capitalism - in short, the rise of modern society. Yet, as this course will reveal, there is more to the Renaissance than beautiful art and the beginnings of progress. Themes include the persistence of the “medieval”; princely and papal courts; gender and religion in everyday life; early printed books; politics and conspicuous consumption; European encounters with Islam; art and society; and the value of the idea of the Renaissance today.

HIST 385 - Living Muslim History
Unit(s): 4
This course is a study of moments in Muslim history through the lens of auto/biographical writing. Through such narratives, we will study the relationship between the past and the present in the Muslim world, how Muslim history has been lived and experienced, and how the drawing of national boundaries, the disappearance of old empires, and the experience of exile, displacement, and colonialism has shaped individual lives. Our sources include life narratives from the pre-modern Islamic world, auto/biographies and travel accounts written under Ottoman rule, and writings from colonial and post-colonial Asia and the Middle East. Though a study of the lives of people living in the Muslim world, this course will shed light on the universal nature of human experience, and on how experience is filtered through the specificity of historical circumstances. This course will introduce students to a theoretical approach for studying autobiography in the Muslim world, and to situating auto/biographies within the context of the times in which they were written. This approach includes challenging the Euro-American origins of the genre of “autobiography” and understanding the literary dimensions of historical narration.
