Through a combination of lectures and discussion, we identify and analyze important themes in the history of American women since 1945. Topics include: domesticity and the culture of the 1950s; gendering the cold war; women and racial politics; the social movements of the 1960s; the "sexual revolution"; second-wave feminism; the new right's gender politics; and women, work, and poverty at the century's end. A central presumption of the class is that one cannot understand the recent history of the U.S. without understanding the histories of women and gender during this period.

This course provides an introduction to the major themes in U.S. women's history from the period of colonial exploration and conquest to the present. In this course we learn about the terms, questions, and methods used by women's historians, and we use both primary and secondary sources to explore the diversity of women's experiences as they have been shaped by such factors as region, ethnicity, class, race, sexuality, and politics, as well as ways in which women have acted as agents in shaping their own lives.

This course aims to provide a national and local understanding of how Americans and St. Louisans dealt with the problems of racism, poverty, and sexism from 1945 to the present. While history courses traditionally require that students analyze the credibility and subjectivity of each historical source, this course further challenges students to use the methods of oral history to compare evidence from oral historical memory with written texts. By comparing St. Louis history with that of the rest of the nation, students analyze regional differences and understand the unique historical conditions that shaped this city.

From Marbury vs. Madison in the early 19th century to Dred Scott vs. Sanford on the eve of the Civil War and, more recently, Roe vs. Wade or Bush vs. Gore, the Supreme Court-its composition, its rulings, and their legitimacy-has provoked intense, widespread legal, political, even ethical debate. This course is an historical survey of the Supreme Court's history and of the Court's broader resonance in American life and society, from the court's first session in 1789 to the present.

This course is designed as a social and intellectual history of Sufism in all its major aspects. The course begins with a survey of Sufism's formative period from the 9th to the 12th centuries ce, examining the emergence of key Sufi doctrines and practices as well as the formation of the first Sufi communities around accomplished masters. Then, the course traces the rise to social prominence of the Sufi mode of piety during and after the 12th century in the form of Sufi orders as well as the reaction of nonconformist Sufis to such increasing social success.
