Scholars in many disciplines have been asking new questions about the meaning of sexuality and of taken-for-granted categories like "gay" and "straight", even "male" and "female", masculine and feminine. This course will look at a series of issues in the history of sexuality, including: homosexual subcultures in the past; female same-sex love relationships; "passing" women; prostitution; the Victorian sexual "system"; sex and slavery in the U.S. and Caribbean; sex reformers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries; the Nazi suppression of homosexuality; the history of birth control use; changing courtship patterns; the gay and lesbian rights movements; the sexual revolution of the 1960s; AIDS and its meanings; and teen sex and motherhood today. Our aim is not only to survey the great variety of sexual patterns and behaviors in recent European and American history, but also to think more analytically about the issues and activities we associate with sexuality. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College History Department

This course explores the "why" of history, current events, and society. Though psychology has always been used to understand history, most historians have typically relied on general psychological notions. Here the methods of psychology are systematically applied to the study of attitudes, historical events, and personalities. The methodology of psychohistory is to probe childhood, creativity, emotion, family dynamics, group fantasy, psychic trauma, psychobiography, and the differences between conscious and unconscious intention. Specific areas of study will include the questions of how Americans elect a president, the psychobiography of presidential candidates and leaders, the psychology of 9/11, and the European appeasement of Hitler. The two Presidents Bush, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, and Hitler and the politicians who appeased him will be case studies. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College History Department Course Attributes: GE-TOPICS ARTS AND HUMANITIES
