  • HI 288: World History and Geography I

    3.00 Credits
    Hilbert College

    This is a survey course of global geography and human history. Emphasis is placed on: a) gaining a basic knowledge of the critical events in world history; b) gaining a basic knowledge of political and physical geography and the ways in which they are both cause and effect of history; and c) nderstanding the events at a global level, that is, being able to identify events as taking place in the same periods even though they happened in different regions. This course is half of a two-semester series. Although ideally students will take both courses, each may stand alone and can be taken in any order.

  • HI 300: American Religious History

    3.00 Credits
    Hilbert College

    American Religious History traces the religious development of America from the mid eighteenth century to the present. The course links political, economic and social changes with simultaneous events in the nation's religious life. Pivotal historic moments such as the Civil War, the Great Migrations, and the Post War Economic Boom are culled for their religious significance. Through an investigation of these events this course seeks to wrestle with the ever shifting notion of religion itself. Students are introduced to the work of religious thinkers as diverse as Friedrich Nietzsche, Emile Durkheim, George Whitfield, Paul Tillach and Catherine Albanese. By the course's end students should have a firm grasps on the major developments in American religion and the plurality of religious experiences within the nation.

  • HI 301: The Making of the Modern Mind I

    0.00 Credits
    Hilbert College

    This course comprises a history of ideas from ancient Greece to the Renaissance. Specifically, it employs philosophic analysis to show the historical impact of philosophical thought upon politics, science, art, and humankind in general as well as the impact of culture on philosophy. An additional goal of this course is that of helping students recognize that many of the ideas with which they are most comfortable did not arise in a vacuum. Moreover, the ideas that they take to be the most obviously true may, in fact, require rational justification - a requirement which cannot be fulfilled without an adequate understanding of the historical context within which these ideas were first formulated.

  • HI 306: The Making of the Modern Mind II

    3.00 Credits
    Hilbert College

    This interdisciplinary course comprises a history of ideas beginning with the 16th century and continuing to the present day. It employs a philosophic analysis to show the historical impact of philosophical thought upon politics, science, art and humankind in general as well as the impact of culture on philosophy. An additional goal of this course is that of helping students recognize that many of the ideas with which they are most comfortable did not arise in a vacuum and that many of the ideas which are taken to be obviously true require rational justification. Particular attention will be paid to the varying conceptions of truth, justice and the good life found in different epochs. Specifically, the impact of these philosophic notions upon early modern culture will be observed in the works of writers such as Marlowe, Mann and Camus, musicians such as Wagner, and philosophers such as Descartes, Hume, Kant and Nietzsche.

  • HI 308: Women’s History

    3.00 Credits
    Hilbert College

    This course focuses on the experience of American women beginning with the colonial period and carrying through chronologically to the present. It is divided into thematic units that correspond to the latest scholarship in women’s history. These investigations not only relate content material, but also explore the evolving historiography of women’s history from the earliest attempts to include exemplary women in historical accounts, and social historians’ attempt to reconstruct the lives of everyday women, to the more recent gender approach that seeks to find and explain ways in which socially constructed rather than biologically defined differences between men and women have shaped American history.

  • HI 309: Women’s History, Part II: The “Other” Ex

    3.00 Credits
    Hilbert College

    This course looks at American Women’s history from the perspectives of race, ethnicity and class. While the initial work done by historians in women’s history defined and analyzed the gender expectations of women from the dominant white middle-class, more recent scholarship measures those expectations of gender against the experiences of women from disadvantaged populations. From the first encounters with Natives, through the enslavement of Africans, and the marginalization of Southern and Eastern European and Asians, to the lingering impact of stereotyping throughout the 20th century, this course examines the particular experience of women from each of these non-dominant cultures.
