Topic: Integration stands as one of the more profound chapters in the efforts to address racial inequality in US society in the 20th century. Examining Integration Matters explores the national story of integration, with particular attention to post-WWII America as it unfolded in urban centers, within sports as well as in access to spaces of leisure and recreation. Two intellectual concerns drive this course: 1) Examining the meaning of integration both as a goal and as a process, especially as it was manifested in questions about housing and neighborhoods; 2) the limitations of viewing integration in professional sports as representative of everyday racial experience. Readings will allow us to revisit different periods when Chicago and other cities received waves of new arrivals, the community formation process, and tensions over neighborhood transition. We will also engage works in sport history that enlighten the ways the battle for meaningful inclusion was literally and figuratively fought through issues of access to organized sports as well as to recreational and leisure spaces.

Topic: Transnationalism, alongside of "global" discourses, has emerged in the last two decades as an important problem of contemporary knowledge production, and has increasingly become a concern of historians. In this course, with a critical though not exclusive focus upon the history of the United States, we will grapple with the complex questions raised by transnationalism. Did transnationalism come after the constitution of nations or was it one of the nation's essential preconditions? How has transnationalism shaped the construction of national, race, gender, and sexual ideologies in the USA and other empires? Is transnationalism, as pilgrimage, tourism, exile, or diaspora, a necessarily liberating predicament, or does it in fact reinforce neo-imperial and neo-colonial structures? How has the act of claiming America obscured transnational, transborder, & transoceanic processes? And finally, how have transnationalism and empire raised fundamental questions about sovereignty and modernity in the twenty-first century? Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
