HIST 30153 - Creation of Trump’s America Course Credit: 1
CREATION OF TRUMP’S AMERICA Over the last sixteen months, scholars, the media, and the general public have been trying to get their heads around the strange phenomenon of Donald J. Trump’s presidential run. As many experts have pointed out in a variety of settings, his derogatory public statements toward women, people of color, and Muslims, his bullying of public figures, his vague and often inflammatory policy proposals, his willful ignorance of issues, personal history, campaign strategy, and erratic behavior would have (and have had) destroyed any other candidate. Last summer, the urge to explain Trumpism spurred the creation of two separate syllabi for imaginary courses on the subject. In this research-based, graduate-style seminar, we will bring that fantasy to life - using Trump and Trumpism as a way to examine the trajectory of the right wing and the Republican Party over the last fifty or so years. Prerequisite(s): 1 course in History; or permission of the instructor [HSS]

HIST 30155 - Medieval Travel: Pilgrims & Envoys Course Credit: 1
Medieval Travel: Pilgrims and Envoys This course examines the motives and experiences of travelers in the Middles Ages. Travel itself was a relatively rare and dangerous experience in the medieval period. Through primary sources including pilgrim guidebooks, personal narratives, and visual evidence, we will explore why some medieval people accepted the high risks of travel and set out on the road for reasons of religion, diplomacy, and potential material gain. The geography of this course includes travelers representing the Islamic world of North Africa, the Christian world of Western Europe, and the multicultural merchants of the Silk Roads. [GE, HSS]
