Section Title:
Great Books in History
Section Info:
Topic: Great Books in History - Freedom and Empire: Transborder Histories of Early America. Description: For this course, we will read a selection of border-crossing histories of early America (from roughly 1800 to 1850). These histories grapple with lasting themes of freedom and empire, as they played out in a heathen school, slave ships, a carriage ride across Napoleonic Europe, understandings of the Monroe Doctrine, and the war-ravaged provinces of northern Mexico. By closely reading a selection of prize-winning and influential books and by putting these books into conversation with other forms of historical interpretation (such as articles, films, fiction, and first-person narratives), we will delve into the question: what constitutes good history? In addition to focusing on historical methods, we will pay close attention to the craft of writing, in the assigned texts and papers alike.

Section Title:
Palestinian History
Section Info:
Topic: Palestinian History. Description: This lecture/discussion course examines the main themes of Palestinian history during the past two centuries. The events of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict necessarily frame this history, but in addition to Palestinian political history this course aims to explore their social and cultural history. This is an advanced course with reading that averages over 100 pages per week, including some literary works, weekly one-page responses to the readings, and three essays plus a final.
