  • HIST 414: Human Rights and History

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Nathans. The idea of universal, inalienable rights--once dismissed by the philosopher Jeremy Bentham as "nonsense upon stilts"-has become the dominant moral language of our time, the self-evident truth par excellence of our age. Human rights have become a source of inspiration to oppressed individuals and groups across the world, the rallying cry for a global civil society, and not least, a controversial source of legitimation for American foreign policy. This seminar asks: how did all this come to be We will investigate human rights not only as theories embodied in texts, but as practices embedded in specific historical contexts. Are human rights the product of a peculiarly European heritage, of the Enlightenment and protestantism How did Americans reconcile inalienable rights with the reality of slavery Did human rights serve as a "civilizing" mask for colonialism Can universal rights be reconciled with genuine cultural diversity Through case studies and close readings, the seminar will work toward a genealogy of human rights.

  • HIST 420: European International Relations from the Age of Enlightenment to the Great War

    3.00 Credits
    University of Pennsylvania

    Granieri/McDougall. This course will examine the international politics of Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, up to the outbreak of World War I. During these centuries, the European great powers experienced significant internal transformations and also a revolution in their relations, both of which reinforced and accelerated each other. In the process, Europe asserted a dominant position in world politics, but also sowed the seed for the terrible castrophes of the 20th Century. The course will address this transformation of European diplomacy with special attention to the rivalries between the great powers, the impact of nationalism and emerging mass politics, the interplay between military and economic power, and the relationship between the European powers and the rest of the world.
