Fall 2006. PATRICK RAEL. Explores the nature of warfare from the fifteenth century to the present. The central premise is that war is a reflection of the societies and cultures that wage it. This notion is tested by examining the development of war-making in Europe and the Americas from the period before the emergence of modern states, through the great period of state formation and nation building, to the present era, when the power of states to wage war in the traditional manner seems seriously undermined. Throughout, emphasis is placed on contact between European and non-European peoples. Students are required to view films every week outside of class.

Spring 2007. JILL MASSINO. Examines the history of Europe from 1750 to the present through the lens of gender. Begins by considering the ways in which ideas about gender informed politics and notions of civic identity, the economic and cultural organization of society, and social relationships and women's position within the family. Proceeds to examine how women and men responded to and, at times, resisted their prescribed roles, both in their everyday lives and though participation in social and political movements and major historical events. Topics of investigation include revolution, industrialization and urbanization, domesticity, nationalism, socialism, fascism, war, the development of the welfare state, feminism, and globalization. Analyzes the way in which race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality intersect with gender and are implicated in broader political, cultural, and social issues. (Same as Gender and Women's Studies 200.)

Topics include the institution of the polis (city-state); hoplite warfare; Greek colonization; the origins of Greek "science," philosophy, and rhetoric; and fifth-century Athenian democracyand imperialism. Necessarily focuses on Athens and Sparta, but attention is also given to the variety of social and political structures found in different Greek communities.

A variety of sources-literary, epigraphical, archaeological-are presented, and students learn how to use them as historical documents. (Same as Classics 211.)
