This course introduces the concept of an Atlantic World. Key integrative and interpretive themes and trends will be considered, including European exploration and expansion into the Atlantic, imperialism and colonialism, the emergence of an Atlantic economy and trade, intercultural interaction and exchange, and the establishment of the African slave trade and the plantation economy.

HIST 447 - Contested Heritage: Making, Shaping, and Fighting over Public History
3 credits
Description
The past – the received wisdom, values, and experiences that define a society’s heritage – takes a wide array of forms. Museums and museum exhibits, debates over the nature and placement of monuments, controversies surrounding school textbooks, the role of history in the entertainment industry (including theme parks, film, historical re-enactment, and video games), and historical symbols all form part of the tapestry of public history. This course seeks to explore how these different forms of history writ large shape our collective understanding of the past by celebrating, contesting, and exploiting elements of history, playing on a sense of nostalgia, and by connecting to a sense of collective identity.
Note
Open to graduate students. Graduate students are required to do additional work of a research nature.

HIST 493 - The History of Modern China
3 credits
Description
This course will cover the past 350 years of Chinese history, a period that has been dubbed as “modern” by Western historians. Study begins with the establishment of the “barbarian” Qing dynasty in 1644 and ends with the Tian’ anmen Massacre in 1989. Through the lectures, books, videos, and handouts, the course will focus on three distinct periods in the “modern” era of Chinese civilization: the Qing dynasty 1644-1911; the Republic of China 1911-1949; and the People’s Republic of China 1949. Important themes to be stressed in the curriculum are the resilience of “traditional” Chinese culture; the impact of the West (on ideas, politics, economics, and society); and revolution. The objective of this course is to provide students with a general background of the important people, ideologies, and events that have shaped the China of the present and no doubt the future as well.
Note
No previous knowledge of modern China is required. Open to graduate students. Graduate students are required to do additional work of a research nature.
