Credit: 3 hours.

Teaches students how to apply historical thinking to present day problems. Each version starts with contemporary headlines about a current issue, moves to an investigation of its historical roots and legacies, and pivots back to the present to assess the impact of past history on present reality and to capture those relationships in a collaborative student project. It aims to show, in short, how and why history matters NOW.

As a historian of urban riots, I propose to help us work through a long history of racal violence--from the amalgamation riots of the 1830s to the Red Summer of the 1910s Great Migration to the Urban Crisis of 1967, and from the multicultural clashes of the 1990s Rodney King riots to the rise of Black Lives Matter. The purpose is to develop deeper understanding of how urban conflict and violence has both persisted and yet also dramatically changed, and to provide class participants with a historically-based vision of race and racism in contemporary America.

This course will historicize the Panama Papers by examining the global history of finance from the eighteenth century to the present. We will examine changes in the ways in which businessmen, politicians, bankers, financiers, and lawyers moved wealth across long-distances and between sovereign governments over the past three centuries.
