HIST 0475 - RELIGION AND CULTURE IN EAST ASIA
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Words have consequences. How a society defines “religion” and “culture” have much to say about how they balance individual freedom and collective responsibility. This course focuses on how religion has been and is practiced in East Asia in modern and contemporary times. We begin with an overview of the major religions in the region (e.g., Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Shinto, folk traditions), and examine various themes to help us learn how religion influences the lives of individuals and the wider societies in which they live. Themes dealt with include the relationship between religion and politics and law; nationalism, terrorism, and secularization; gender, sexuality, and the family; healing, the environment, and ethical behavior; and the life cycle and ritual calendar year. By looking at how these issues unfold in modern China and Japan and at their global significance enable us to better understand how religion shapes our world.

This course explores the material history of Latin America during the period of Spanish and Portuguese Colonial Rule, from 1500 to 1825.

Weekly case studies-ranging from pre-contact indigenous agriculture, through the role of technology in the success of Spanish conquistadors, to the impact horses on the Spanish frontier-prompt students to engage with the lived experience of a broad range of people living in pre-independence Latin America.

HIST 0712 - A GLOBAL HISTORY OF TERRORISM
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will acquaint students with the remarkably long, diverse and widespread use of strategies of terror to advance political, economic, religious and social agendas. Our analysis will focus upon terror from below that is terror by non-state actors; will range from ancient Greece to the present; and will touch upon every inhabited continent. Using examples from many societies, we will discover that the human motivations for terrorist acts have changed little, but that their expression has changed a great deal, from the days of the Spartacus slave revolt, to the calculated terror of the Algerian revolution, to the media-centered “madmen strategy” of Al-Qaeda and Isis. Our organization will be roughly chronological, and will be combined with a typology of different kinds of terrorism. This inherently comparative approach will enable us to make this a true world history course, moving with ease from place to place, movement to movement, while still having a solid temporal and analytical framework to keep the material coherent.

HIST 0752 - EMPIRES OF THE STEPPE: EURASIA FROM THE MONGOLS TO THE SOVIET UNION
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Over the last several centuries, EurAsia’s domination by successive nomadic steppe empires (stretching from Europe to China) was displaced by new imperial challengers from the periphery (notably Russia, China, and Britain). This course examines the nature of that transition by charting the history of EurAsian empires from the Mongols (thirteenth century) to the present day. From Genghis Khan to Tamerlane to Stalin; between Russian spies, Chinese armies, and the Taliban; spanning silk roads, great games, and more. The empires of the steppe were truly vast in scale, integrating territories usually studied in isolation from one another, and so this course provides important context for separate courses on Russian, eastern European, Chinese, and middle eastern history. The chronological scope of this course is similarly epic, spanning over seven centuries, and thus placing in relief recurring themes related to empires in world history. The thematic emphasis is on geopolitical strategies for imperial rule, but the course will also examine culture, religion, and political economy.

HIST 0755 - RELIGION IN ASIA
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course serves as an introduction to the major religious traditions of South and East Asia. During the course of the semester, we encounter Hinduism and Jainism; the native Confucian, Daoist (Taoist), and popular traditions of China; and the Shinto, folk and new religions of Japan. Buddhism, which originated in India but later spread to East Asia, is examined in its relation to the history of both Chinese and Japanese religions. We approach these traditions through lectures and discussion based on Chinese classical and popular literature, secondary scholarship, and films, which inform us about cultural and historical context, beliefs, practices, and personal experience. In the process we expect to learn something about the ways in which non-Western religious traditions see themselves and their world on their own terms, and to see how/if they can complement our own worldviews.

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course aims to introduce students to Islamic and Middle Eastern History from the time of the Prophet (ca. 600 C.E.) to the Iranian Revolution in 1979. We will proceed chronologically, focusing mainly on political events. However, a special emphasis will be given to the formation of the Islamic tradition, its evolution across different regions and cultures in time, and its interaction with other traditions. In the modern era, we will particularly explore the Islamic societies’ political, cultural, and military encounter with the rising power of the West in the Middle East. In addition to the several historical processes and developments such as modernization, nation-building, Islamic fundamentalism and globalization, which have shaped the history of the Middle East in the last two centuries, our class discussions will also touch on the main theoretical perspectives that have stamped the studies of Islam and the Middle East. Here, concepts such as orientalism, defensive development, and modernity will constitute our main focus.
