Special Approval: Advisor Approval Required Section Info: For Students in the History Honors Program. Meets with HIST 498, Section C. Topic: The Foreign Gaze: Latin America in the Eyes of Travelers, 1750-1950. Description: This course pursues two goals: To study how foreigners (mostly Europeans and North Americans) have portrayed Latin American societies, cultures and politics; and to systematically work on substantial research papers, from bibliography to polished final papers. Foreigners have had a love-hate relationship with Latin America, and the majority of travelers have given us a rather warped, unrealistic image of the continent. They have portrayed it as a place of perfect, exuberant nature and depraved socieity, of Indian victims and corrupt elites, or as te opposite: as a continent of enervating tropics, racially inferior indigenous and African descent popluations and heroic European struggles of "civilizing" barbarians. In most cases Latin America has served as a seemingly empty canvass to project the desires, visions and interests of foreign writers, from the erudite Alexander von Humboldt to the caustic Aldous Huxley an moralistic Graham Greene. Along with regualr work on the research porjects we will read exciting travel reports and modern scholarship on travel writing. Restriction(s): Restricted to History major(s).

Special Approval: Advisor Approval Required Section Info: For Students in the History Honors Program. Meets with HIST 498, Section D. Topic: Family in History. Description: The family is in flux. The legalization of same-sex marriage in a number of countries is the latest in a series of developments since the mid-twentieth century that have re-shaped family ideology and family life itself in much of the world. However, there never was a "traditional family" to be undone. Instead, there was an older family ideal, only occasionally realized in practice, which was invented two centuries earlier. In this course we will be surveying historic Euro-American family ideals and practices, their export to the non-Western world, and recent developments from no-fault divorce3 to same-sex marriage. In addition to readings and discussions, students will research and present on a topic related to the family in history - as practiced, as idealized, as legislated, and so on.
