Dr. Dabel - "Riots, Strikes & Conspiracies"
Section 02 4744 SEM MW 2:00-3:15PM LA3-205
This course will help students gain a better understanding of American politics, culture and social organization. Topics covered include the Boston Tea Party, the Boston Anti-Slave Riot, the Textile Workers Strike and the student uprising at Columbia University. Students will learn how these events, many thought radical in their times, had great influence on events and generations to come. Without these unique occurrences, American would not be the nation it is today.
Dr. Hood – “Readings of Ancient Historians"
Section 03 9606 SEM M 6:30-9:15PM SPA-111
This class will explore the ancient sources for Greek and Roman history. In addition, we will examine the backgrounds of the various historians in order to explain their personal and political biases. The historians covered this semester will be Herodotus, Thucydides, Polybius, Sallust, Plutarch, Tacitus and Suetonius.
This is the senior seminar for History majors. You will prepare your portfolios for submission for final evaluation. In addition, a 10-15 page historiographic paper about one of the historians we discuss will be required, and will be added to the portfolio. Students will thus be able to demonstrate their ability to handle both ancient historical sources as well as secondary literature.
Dr. Sheridan – “Gender Class, Nation: Themes of Identity in Modern European History, 1890-1918" (Modern Europe)
Section 05 9720 SEM Tu 6:30-9:15PM F02-101A
This section will examine recent scholarship and primary sources relevant to European identity (focusing on Britain and France) during the Edwardian and Belle Epoque eras. Our discussions will interrogate the ways in which gender, class, and nation proved crucial in the late nineteenth century, especially related to the continued development of European nationalism and imperialism. The course will allow students to engage with the constitutive components of identity formation; this theme and focus will facilitate students' eventual research questions and topics.
