HST 324 - Race in American Memory Course Units: 1.0
(TBD: Staff) “The struggle of man against power,” wrote Milan Kundera, “is the struggle of memory against forgetting.” This course will examine that struggle as it has taken place in the United States around the issue of race. How have Americans as a nation chosen to remember events that involved race? How and by whom were these collective memories constructed? In what ways were they contested? How have they changed over time? We will explore these issues focusing on such phenomena as Indian removal, slavery, the Civil War, Jim Crow, Japanese internment and World War II, and the Civil Rights movement, examining depictions in public history and popular cultural forms, including memorials, museums, battlefields, literature, and film.

HST 325 - War in American Memory Course Units: 1.0
(TBD: Staff) In recent years, historians have become increasingly interested in collective memory: its construction, its evolution, and the ways in which it has been used as an instrument of power. Collective memories of wars in particular work to inform ongoing debates about national identity. This course examines the ways that Americans have remembered their nation’s wars. How were these collective memories constructed and in what ways were they contested? What do they reveal about social. political, and economic tensions? To what ends were these collective memories mobilized? How have they changed over time, and how do we as historians understand those changes? In this class we will explore traditional expressions of war memories such as monuments, memorials, and battlefields as well as cultural expressions of these memories in art, literature, and film.

HST 362 - Black Britain: Race and Empire Course Units:
(TBD: Staff) A future king of Great Britain is asked if the royal family is racist. Black Lives Matter activists in Bristol pull down the statue of the notorious slave trader Edward Colston and dump it into the very harbor from which his ships offloaded slaves. The BBC refuses to repeat an episode of the iconic 1970s sitcom Fawlty Towers for being racially insensitive … to Germans - no one mentions that a British West Indian doctor is labelled with the n-word. Netflix strikes gold with the multicultural cast and romping sexuality of Bridgerton, turning the staid “white” Regency period on its head. The Tories launch a “war on woke” for votes, historical truth be damned. Just how can people figure out what it means to be a citizen of the United Kingdom today? Through an analysis of history, literature, film, and media this course reveals the unknown, lost, and censored history of race and empire that defines the United Kingdom’s past. It is a burden of history carried by every U.K. citizen, but in dramatically unequal and inequitable ways. We will learn how historical ignorance and dishonesty fuel racism in the U.K. today - as they do in so many countries. In this course, students play an active role in developing and selecting the content through which we explore these pressing questions of social justice.

The tale of football of multicultural Britain that is Bend It Like Beckham? This course will study the historical development of British cinema, tracing its roots from music halls at the turn of century to the multiplexes of a globalized culture dominated by Hollywood. We will also explore the different types and genres of film to be found in British cinema: realism and expressionism, cinema as national popular culture, humor and horror, constructions of Britishness, film as an ideological medium, films that pushed the boundaries of sex and orientation, epics, and imperial and post-colonial themes that played out on the screen. By the end of this course you will understand the complex and diverse character of British cinema through the analysis of actual films and engagement with critical studies of them.

HST 461 - Seminar in European History: Discovery of Britain and Ireland Course Units: 1.0
(Winter: Cramsie) The broad topic of this seminar is the ‘discovery’ of early-modern Britain and Ireland by its own people. When we think of discovery in the early modern period, what comes to mind are often images of intrepid explorers pushing the boundaries of geography and scientific knowledge, merchants eager to tap the exotic wealth of ‘the East’, or religious fanatics bent on the conquest of bodies and souls in the Americas. Yet for the peoples of Britain and Ireland, their own islands were an undiscovered country in 1500. Only a tiny number of people could claim to have seen some or all of the country outside their own valley or village. By contrast, travel and tourism were commonplace in Britain and Ireland by 1800. What was the experience like for those British and Irish men and women who explored the undiscovered country at home in the three hundred years between? What did they have to say about the people and places they encountered? How did their works “construct” their fellow inhabitants? In this seminar you will learn methods of inquiry that can be applied to answer such questions, conduct original research using early-printed books and manuscript travel narratives, and complete a research paper of your findings. Prerequisite(s): Any 100-level or 200-level history course or permission of the instructor. CC: SOCS, WAC
