History 393: Constructions of Gender in the Middle Ages Cotts
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Whitman College
Medieval religious thought and practice presents us with a string of paradoxes relating to the position of women and the problem of gender difference, for instance: One woman (Eve) was the source of original sin while another (the Virgin Mary) brought the Savior into the world; God could be described as a wrathful father or a nurturing mother; the Roman Church was a loving mother to its proponents and the Whore of Babylon to its critics. This course will attempt to sort out these paradoxes and explore the problem of gender by discussing three major issues: the status of women in society and the determination of sex roles; the intellectual production of major female religious figures; and the religious symbolism relating to gender in the Middle Ages. Assigned readings will include primary and secondary sources (at a fairly advanced level), and students will be expected to carry out some independent research. The course format will center around discussion.

History 488: Seminar:Ideology and Independence:The End of Empire in Africa Woodfork
3.00 Credits
Whitman College
After the Second World War, Africans no longer sought to reform the colonial project, they wanted it to end. At the same time European nations reluctantly lost the will and the financial wherewithal to maintain their African empires. Both groups, for different reasons, looked for a way out of the imperial project. While the metropoles searched for ways to maintain the benefits of empire without the formal structures, African leaders looked to the rebirth of their lands as independent nations. While African independence movements have often been thought of as actions with no supporting bodies of thought, this is far from the truth. This seminar explores how African political leaders strove to liberate and recreate their lands and the ideological bases they developed in response to many challenges including how to accomplish decolonization, the role of African "tradition" in the face of "modernity", the economic structure of the nation, citizenship, international relations, and mitigating the effects of the colonial pas

History 492: Seminar:The Masses and the Modern:1880-1914 Sharp
3.00 Credits
Whitman College
1880-1914 was the Belle Epoque, the beautiful era before World War I when Europeans ruled the world and society was "civilized" and "proper". Yet this was also the moment when middle class women marched in the streets demanding the vote and working class men and women swelled socialist party numbers. When scientists and politicians deplored the "degeneration" of the individual and society while avant-garde artists drank absinthe and celebrated decadence. Motor cars, airplanes, bicycles, cinema, anarchists, and a celebration of violence all challenged the norms of bourgeois society. This seminar explores the emergence of mass politics and modern culture, and the social and cultural contradictions that characterized European society leading up to World Wa
