    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    The study for history has traditionally focused on the actions and ideas of "Great Men" and their influence on major events in politics, diplomacy,and intellectual discovery.

  • History 315: Slavery in the Americas

    3.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    One of the fundamental factors in the European colonization of the western hemisphere was the development of new systems of slavery and the articulation of new ideologies of racial difference to legitimate their use. African slaves performed the hard manual labor on tropical plantations that enriched a small class of Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, English, and American planters and supplied the world with sugar, tobacco, rice, and cotton. Yet many slaves also worked on smaller farms, as skilled artisans, as domestic servants, and as urban laborers. Slavery was not a single system; it was, on the contrary, a collection of practices and ideologies that varied significantly across time and space. From the sixteenth through the nineteenth century, and from Latin America, across the Caribbean, and into North America, slavery appeared in diverse forms. This course will take a comparative approach to the history of slavery and racial ideology in a cross-section of times and places.

  • History 317: History of Economic Thought

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    This course is designed to present selected pivotal aspects of the development of economic thought from its formalized beginnings as a species of moral philosophy through the development of political economy and its emergence as the behaviorally and policy-oriented social science of economics. The course will address itself to the changing answers leading theorists have given to the most basic questions of man's material life. How do humans behave in that setting? And what combination of policies and institutions most nearly accommodate wants and constraints within the context of the formative goals of the society? Mere inventories of our inheritance of ideas are not enough. We need to analyze them among our permanent possessions. Such is the intent of the course. Also listed as Economics 317.
