    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Matsusaka NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. This course examines the history of international politics since the late eighteenth century. Rather than treat-ing one country in depth, it considers many countries in relation to each other over time. It examines how major states of the world have, over the past two centuries, interacted with each other in war and peace. It explores past attempts to create international systems that allow each major power to achieve its objectives without recourse to war. It also looks at relations between the great powers and smaller states, conflicts between colonial powers and anti-colonial movements, and post-colonial developments.

  • HIST 299: U.S.Environmental History

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Turner (Environmental Studies) This course examines the relationship between nature and society in American history. The course will consider topics such as the deci-mation of the bison, the rise of Chicago, the history of natural disasters, and the environmental consequences of war. There are three goals for this course: First, we will examine how humans have interacted with nature over time and how nature, in turn, has shaped human society. Second, we will examine how attitudes toward nature have differed among peoples, places, and times and we will consider how the meanings people give to nature inform their cultural and political activities. Third, we will study how these historical forces have com-bined to shape the American landscape and the human and natural communities to which it is home. While this course focuses on the past, an important goal is to understand the ways in which history shapes how we understand and value the environment as we do today. Students may register for either HIST 299 or ES 299 and credit will be granted accordingly. Prerequisites: ES 101, 102, or an American history course, or permission of the instructor.

  • HIST 307: Seminar.Religious Change and the Emergence of Modernity in Early Modern Europe,1600-1800

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Frace During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, important religious, social, and intellectual transformations in Western Europe created two distinctly new and competing visions of modernity: an empirically-based rational religion and a faith-based evangelicalism. The legacy of their creation and conflict, both between one another and with the established traditionalists and insurgent atheists, reverberate to this day. In this seminar, we will explore: the relationship between science and religion; the effects of rising pluralism at home and global explo-ration overseas; witchcraft; the secularization and commercialization of daily life; the separation of church and state; and the formation of the first supra-national identities that transcended traditional religious boundaries. These issues raise broader questions about the origins of cultural change, as well as the nature of modernity itself.

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Ramseyer This course will examine the revolutionary changes that occurred in all facets of life in twelfth-century Europe. The twelfth century represents one of the most important eras of European history, characterized by many historians as the period that gave birth to Europe as both idea and place. It was a time of economic growth, religious reformation, political and legal reorganization, cultural flowering, intellec-tual innovation, and outward expansion. Yet the twelfth century had a dark side, too. Crusades and colonization, heresy and religious dis-putes, town uprisings and mob violence also marked the century. Students will study the internal changes to European society as well as the expansion of Europe into the Mediterranean and beyond, paying close attention to the key people behind the transformations.

  • HIST 334: Seminar.World Economics Orders,1918-2008

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Slobodian The idea of the ?world economy? as a single, interconnected entity only entered widespread discussion in Europe and North America after World War I. This course explores the diverse ways of imagining and ordering the world economy since then and what Europe's place has been within it, from imperial economies to national economies to a supposedly ?globalized? economy to recent tilts of the European Union away from the United States and toward China and Russia. We will see how ideas such as development, modernization and globalization have dictated falsely universal models, but have also served as emancipatory idioms for previously marginalized individuals and popula-tions. We will demystify economic arguments and learn to study economic texts for their content, but also as political and cultural docu-m ents.
