    (3.00)
    Imperialism represents one of the more brutal chapters in modern history. Its impact on native peoples and societies raises profound moral questions about culpability, collaboration, resistance, and justification of violence on both sides. How do we deal with the memory of such traumatic events in popular culture? How do those popular memories compare with the historical evidence? This course compares representations of imperialism in film history with the treatment of the same events by historians.

  • HIST 204 - Don’t Buy It: The Global History of Commodities

    (3.00)
    This course looks at how the mass demand for commodities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries changed the way people worked, lived, and saw themselves as they produced and consumed in radically different ways from their parents and grandparents. Long before the Internet, commodities circled the globe, connecting distant places to one another through chains of relationships created to produce, deliver and sell commodities. Commodities also linked people. They connected enslaved African producers to middle-class American consumers, Asian factory workers with Europeans taking beach holidays. Students examine both producers and consumers as they follow the chain of production of certain commodities-rubber, sugar, corn, bananas, and housing. For their final project, students will produce and show a two-minute mini-documentary on one product in one country.

This course provides students with an introduction to the field. Students will explore the history of federal and state sponsorship of museums and historic sites, learn to think critically about the needs and interests of audiences, and explore best practices and ethics for public professionals.

  • HIST 350 - History of Medicine

    (3.00)
    The history of medicine is a subject that touches almost every aspect of society including hierarchical structure, cultural attitudes about disease, scientific and intellectual developments, economic disparities, and political conflict.  Physicians, along with other elite groups, such as public health reformers and government policymakers, have possessed the cultural authority to shape the practice and delivery of medicine.  As we study the history of these elites, we will also learn about how groups with less power, patients (particularly poor patients), alternative medical workers, immigrants, women and minorities have interacted with the health care system.
