SOC-WORLD 43: Japan's Modern Revolution
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
On July 8, 1853, Commodore Mathew C. Perry steamed into Japan's Edo Bay with four heavily armed US Navy warships. Two were the so-called "black ships," ominously painted coal-burning steamships of the latest design. There, within view of a stunned populace, Perry issued an ultimatum: open the country to trade or face unstoppable bombardment. Thus began Japan's modern engagement with the outside world, a new chapter in the broader encounter between "East" and "West." Through primary sources, discussion and lecture, this course examines Japan's rapid development from samurai-led feudalism into the worlds first non-Western imperial power.

SOC-WORLD 44: Human Trafficking, Slavery and Abolition in the Modern World
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
This course surveys the nature, types and extent of modern servitude, distinguishing broadly between those resulting from international trafficking such as trans-national prostitution, human smuggling into bonded labor, child soldiering and organ trafficking, and more intra-national forms such as debt-bondage and the domestic exploitation of women and other vulnerable groups. Examines the conceptual and theoretical issues raised in attempts to distinguish among these types of differential power relations; the empirical difficulties of estimating the magnitude of what are inherently secretive processes; and the ideological controversies surrounding the subject. Explores ethical, socio- political and practical issues raised by these trends.
