HIST 30152 - Beyond Harriet Tubman Course Credit: 1
(WGSS)
BEYOND HARRIET TUBMAN Harriet Tubman is an icon in American history. During the antebellum era, she spirited enslaved African Americans to freedom along the Underground Railroad and later served as a military strategist in the Union Army. Her life was an incredible one, but she was not alone in the fight for equality and civil rights in the United States. Drawing on monographs, essays, literature, and film, this seminar contextualizes and historicizes the social and political activism of African American women such as Harriet Tubman. This reading intensive seminar is divided into four units: slavery, abolition, and African American womanhood; segregation and sexualized violence in Jim Crow America; women in the Civil Rights Movement; and the emergence of black feminism. Along the way, we will study, analyze, and critique various interdisciplinary frameworks used by scholars to interpret the experiences of African American women in history. Ultimately by studying icons such as Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks alongside lesser-known women such as Maria Stewart and Anna Julia Cooper, we will learn about the contributions of African American women to American history and culture while also gaining greater historical understanding of the diverse experiences of these women. Prerequisite(s): One course in History or permission of the instructor. Normally, this course is only open to Juniors and Seniors. [HSS]

HIST 30153 - Creation of Trump’s America Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
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]

The course is organized around a series of conflicts and their retellings: the First World War, the Holodomor (the Famine-Genocide in Ukraine), the Second World War and the Holocaust, the Algerian War of Independence, the Francoist Dictatorship in Spain, and the Yugoslav Wars. We will center on themes of collective trauma, individual versus national memories, the role of amnesia and fantasy in collective memory, the ongoing reckoning with colonialism, racism, and anti-Semitism in Europe, and the politics of the past.

HIST 30158 - Paranoid Nation: Conspiracy in Am Pol Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
PARANOID NATION: CONSPIRACY IN AMERICAN POLITICS In 1963, just as the conservative movement was about to take off, Columbia University professor Richard Hofstadter began working on his most famous essay, “The Paranoid Style in American Politics.” In it, he traced a political personality type that appears over and over again in the long history of American politics. Of course, in our day we have Q Anon and 9/11Truthers. But in the past, we had the John Birch Society, the Anti-Masons, fears over the Illuminati, the Copperhead conspiracy, the Communist Conspiracy. The gist is always the same: A small group of powerful people, working in secret, are determined to destroy the nation or undermine its culture and values. In this course we will examine this phenomenon broadly and explore some of the reasons that scholars propose that this phenomenon has taken such powerful hold on our political culture. We will also conduct research into the political conspiracies of the John Birch Society and other elements of the right-wing in the 1960s; the very movement that led Hofstadter to pen his essay.
