History 4983: Advanced Seminar: Renaissance Florence and Venice
4.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Venice was the most famously stable city-state in Renaissance Italy, Florence the most notoriously unstable one. This course explores how those contrasting political environments and experiences shaped social relations and cultural production (and vice versa) in those two cities.

History 4984: Advanced Seminar: The Problem of Freedom: The Age of Democratic Revolution in the Americas
4.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Ever since the improbable alliance of the English pirate and slave trader Sir Francis Drake and the fugitive slave Cimarrons on the Atlantic coast of Panama many centuries ago, the history of freedom in the New World has unfolded in unlikely fits and starts. The course explores two related conjectures: first, that maroon politics (the often short-lived alliances between slaves, quasi-free blacks, and white allies), slave rebellion, provincial secession and civil war were the widespread and normative conditions of post-colonial regimes throughout the New World; and second, that the problem of freedom was especially challenging in a New World environment in which freedom was fleeting and tended to decompose. Special attention is given to antislavery insurgencies, interracial politics, and alliances in the United States and the perspectives on freedom they produced, but the readings also include materials on debates over freedom in the Caribbean and South America over the course of the long age of democratic revolution, 1760-1888.

History 4990: Advanced Seminar: History of the Body
4.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Do bodies have a history? Recent research suggests that they do. Historians have tapped a wide variety of sources-including vital statistics, paintings and photographs, hospital records, and sex manuals-to reconstruct changes in how humans have conceptualized and experienced their own bodies. We pay particular attention to the intersection of European cultural history and history of medicine since 1500.

History 4992: Advanced Seminar: Foucault, Habermas and Liberal Humanism
4.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Michel Foucault is frequently depicted as the most powerful late-20th century critic of Enlightenment humanism, and of its political form, liberal individualism. Jürgen Habermas, one of contemporary Europe's most important living philosophers, has been their most ardent and sophisticated philosophical defender, and in consequence, a sharp critic of Foucault. We analyze the premises of Foucault's critique and Habermas' efforts to establish a viable philosophical and sociological foundation for a genuinely deliberative democracy in a culturally diverse world.

History 4993: Advanced Seminar: Women and Religion in Medieval Europe
4.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course explores the religious experience of women in medieval Europe and attempts a gendered analysis of the Christian Middle Ages. In it, we examine the religious experience of women in a variety of settings-from household to convent. In particular, we try to understand how and why women came to assume public roles of unprecedented prominence in European religious culture between the 12th century and the 16th, even though the institutional church barred them from the priesthood and religious precepts remained a principal source of the ideology of female inferiority.

History 4994: Advanced Seminar: Religion & Society in Modern Europe, 1750-1930
4.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course explores the changing relationships of religion, society, and the state after the age of the Enlightenment and before the age of totalitarianism in Europe-a very long 19th century. This seminar focuses chiefly on changes in Christian society in Western Europe, but students may choose to write their seminar papers on religious minorities or other parts of Europe.

History 4995: Advanced Seminar in History: The Dred Scott Case and Its Legacy After 150 Years
4.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
March 2007 marked the 150th anniversary of what has been called "the worst ever rendered by the Supreme Court." Chief Justice Roger B. Taney's opinion, which denied American citizenship to African Americans, also threatened to force the spread of slavery into every corner of the nation and to undermine the most basic principles of American justice. A bloody Civil War followed within four years, but even with a Union victory and the passage of three amendments to the Constitution, one of the central issues of the case continued unsolved: full citizenship and equal justice before the law. Chattel slavery was abolished, but legal, social, and political equality remained unachieved.

History 4996: Advanced Seminar: Islam in China
4.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This seminar examines the history of Islam and Muslim communities in China. While the course covers the entire history of Muslim communities in China, from the arrival of the first Muslims in China in the 7th century to the present, it primarily focuses on developments during late imperial and 20th-century China. Central themes of the course are cultural interactions, identity-formation, and state-Muslim relations. We attempt to understand and analyze the above themes in the context of Chinese history and the history of the Islamic world.
