Course Descriptions
12. Survey of Europe Since 1648: The rise of modern nation states; the scientific and industrial revolutions; social movements and the French and Russian revolutions; impact of Enlightenment philosophy, nationalism, liberalism, imperialism and fascism; the development of modern class structure and transformations in gender relations, art, popular culture and society. HU
15. English History: The history of England to 1688. The origins of representative
government, the development of English social
institutions, the unification of England, and the
Renaissance and Reformation in England. HU
104-010. American Family History: This course uses family history—and Americans’ family history—to examine the past. We will use genealogy to examine patterns in family structure, marital norms, and gender relations. In so doing, we will connect individuals’ histories to the larger American patterns. The constructs of the family can appear timeless and stable, but it has consistently evolved and transformed American society in the process. We will study the changing ways Americans have structured and conceptualized their families as well as cultural definitions of marriage and childhood.
197. American War in Film: This course examines the twentieth and early-twenty-first century confluence between 1) film as preeminent medium of entertainment, information, and historical knowledge; and 2) United States war making. Have Hollywood blockbusters, documentary films, prime time TV shows, network news broadcasts, and Youtube videos encouraged American men and women to fight, kill, and die overseas? What contribution has film made to American culture of war over the past one hundred years? Does film have the capacity to discourage war? What is distinctive about moving pictures compared to other types of textual representations of war?
306. Internship in Public History: Professionally supervised work in a museum, historical
society, archive, or other historical agency. Written journal
or report evaluating the experience is required.

toward the major requirement of 12 hours of courses

351. The Gangs of New York: The course will use the Martin Scorcese film “The Gangs of New York” as a window to examine the social and economic transformations of New York City in the middle of the nineteenth century. Emphasis will be on immigration, slum conditions, nativism, workingclass culture, gangs and street violence, politics, the Draft Riot of 1863, and the Tweed Ring. A recurrent theme will be to compare the historical record with the film’s depiction of those events. There will be a required evening showing the film. NOT AVAILABLE FOR PASS/FAIL. HU
