  • HISTORY 0864: War and Peace

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    Total war, weapons of mass destruction, genocide. These were not solely inventions of the 20th century nor are they the natural consequences of a violent human nature. Leaders, armies, and the strategies they pursue are rooted in their social and political context. Weapons are the products of not merely technological but also historical and cultural development. Battles occur on a political and historical terrain. Learn how ancient ideology, medieval technology, modern propaganda, and more have changed how humans wage war and make peace.

    Note: This course fulfills the World Society (GG) requirement for students under GenEd and International Studies (IS) for students under Core.

    Students cannot receive credit for History 0864 if they have successfully completed History 0964 or POL SCI 0864.

  • HISTORY 0865: The Global Crisis: Power, Politics and the Making of Our Times

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    Are we living in a time of global crisis? This course will provide you with the tools you need to find out. The course focuses on world politics over the past century, up to today. We will examine a number of key global problems as they have changed over time. We will adopt an historical approach, which means we will read texts and documents about the past as a way to understand the present. Together we will explore debates like: Is America an empire? What is ideology and is it a factor in world politics today? What role do diplomacy, strategy, and military power play in world affairs? How have non-western peoples and states challenged the power of the West, and with what results? What are the roots of ethnic and religious conflict? And what can we as citizens do to address truly global problems? Drawing on examples from 20th century world history, this course introduces you to world politics and the great debates of our time.

    Note: This course fulfills the World Society (GG) requirement for students under GenEd and International Studies (IS) for students under Core.

  • HISTORY 0867: Founding Philadelphia

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course will explore the important role of Philadelphia in the founding of the United States. It will not be, however, a mostly nostalgic visit to patriotic historical sites that glorify the founding fathers, but an in-depth examination into the actual social, cultural, and political events that shaped a city and a nation, as well as an evaluation of how we view these historical events and figures today. Is there a great discrepancy between myth and reality? What does our view of the past say about the present? In what ways can Philadelphia be viewed as a microcosm of the United States and in what ways does the development of Philadelphia, through political turmoil, industrial growth, and the creation of ethnic neighborhoods by a constant flood of immigrants tie in with global developments?

  • HISTORY 0876: Religion in Philadelphia

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    The argument is sometimes made that religion in dense urban spaces is characteristically very different from religion as it appears elsewhere. A study of religion in Philadelphia provides numerous ways to explore that idea, especially since the city encompasses a variety of ethnic and immigrant groups, encouraging the generation of new and hybrid forms of religious life that are less possible in smaller populations. Learn how ideas of toleration and freedom, the urban environment, and immigration helped to define the role of religion in the life of this city. Study various religious traditions as they are manifested in the greater Philadelphia area and look at the influences religion has had on the fabric of Philadelphia’s history and cultural life including politics, art, education, journalism and popular culture. You will visit and write about various religious sites and institutions.

    Note: This course fulfills the U.S. Society (GU) requirement for students under GenEd and American Culture (AC) for students under Core.
