This course surveys three thousand years of the art, architecture, and archaeology in the ancient Near East. After a brief introduction to the environment and prehistoric foundations, the course focuses on the urban cultures of ancient Iraq, Iran, Syria, and southeastern Turkey, from the “rise of civilization” around 3500 BCE until the conquest of Alexander the Great in 331 BCE. We will examine the major visual and architectural monuments produced by these cultures and consider how and what they can tell us about life in these ancient cities.

This is an inter-disciplinary course on the diverse histories and visual cultures of Africa and it’s trans-Atlantic diasporas from the late fifteenth century to the present. The course will be organized around specific themes rather than on chronology. We will highlight the resilience and struggles of enslaved Africans and their descendants in (re)creating some of the main cultural and religious staples of the Americas. While emphasizing the tragedy of the slave trade and racial capitalism and terror, we will also examine how Black returnees to Africa initiated mutual cultural influences between Africa and its trans-Atlantic diasporas in music, art, fashion/textiles, architecture, food and political identities from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century. Finally we will discuss how Africans and people of African descent remember the slave trade through art, museum exhibits and performances. Some seats are reserved for A&D majors and some for non-A&D majors. If you receive a "reserve closed" error, all seats for your major are filled, check back on December 1. Any available seats left on December 1 will be made available to all majors.
