  • HIST 442 - War, Religion, and Culture: Christians and Muslims in the Mediterranean World, 1000-1600


    3 hours

    Description
    This cross-cultural course will examine patterns of cooperation and conflict between Christian and Muslim societies in a region subject to a common geography, ecology, and climate. Combining lecture and discussion formats, the class will concentrate upon the following topics: the Mediterranean as a connected structure, the forging of a pluralist culture, and the “grand clash” of destiny between Christians and Muslims in Spain; transmission to Europe of Muslim scientific discoveries and the Greco-Roman legacy; the Crusades as an episode of conflict and peace interchange; the 16th Century “World” War between Hapsburg Spain and the Ottoman Empire; and Malta as the new frontier between East and West. By exposing students to a variety of cultures, this course will facilitate an understanding of human diversity and complexity; promote respect, if not acceptance, for peoples different from ourselves; arouse interest in cross-cultural approaches to historical study; and expose students to an exciting and important world region.

  • HIST 489 - Culture and Modernity in Japan: 1868 to Recent Times


    3 hours

    Description
    It is conventional to say that Japan’s success in the modern world arises from successful imitation. It is true that the foundations of Japan’s success were laid at a time (in the late nineteenth century) when imitation of all aspects of Western civilization was almost a craze in Japan. But what tensions are created when a country with an ancient, and distinctive culture suddenly makes wholesale borrowings from the modern West? This course, by exploring the perceived tensions between Japanese tradition and imported Western values from 1868 until recent times, will help students understand the real complexities of Japan’s modern history.

    Note
    No previous knowledge of Japanese history will be assumed. Open to graduate students. Graduate students are required to do additional work of a research nature. History majors may count History 422, 470, and 471 for Wider World; History 442 for Europe. A student should contact the course instructor during the first two weeks of class if he/she intends to count any of these courses in the category listed above.

  • HIST 492 - History of Ancient China


    3 hours

    Description
    This course will begin with the late Neolithic (at 5000 B.C.) and end with the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). The class will focus on the development of imperial politics, China’s great philosophers, social and economic changes, in addition to other significant cultural achievements and contributions to the world outside of the “Middle Kingdom.” Although this course is designed to provide students with a general background in traditional Chinese culture, it is also meant to break down the stereotype of China as a rigid and inflexible civilization that would be more or less self-contained. There was a dynamic interplay between domestic and foreign influences that made China one of the greatest—if not the greatest—civilization in the history of human existence.

    Note
    No previous knowledge of ancient China is required. Open to graduate students. Graduate students are required to do additional work of a research nature. History majors may count History 422, 470, and 471 for Wider World; History 442 for Europe. A student should contact the course instructor during the first two weeks of class if he/she intends to count any of these courses in the category listed above. Otherwise, the course will fall within the category which it is listed in the Catalog.

  • HIST 493 - The History of Modern China


    3 hours

    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. History majors may count History 422, 470, and 471 for Wider World; History 442 for Europe.
