thinking analytically and writing persuasively; learning various

Credits: Four (4)

What has consensual sex looked like in different time periods and who is qualified to give consent?

HIST 212H - Family in Western History
Credits: Four
Prerequisite: Membership in Bascom Honors Program
Throughout the history of Europe and the United States, the issue of family has been both a private and a public issue.

But what is the traditional family? Does one even exist? Topics we will explore will include marriage and divorce, marital and extramarital sexuality, pregnancy and parenthood, childhood, extended family such as grandparents, pets, and servants, as well as the family home. We will also explore various laws, traditions, and beliefs involved with these same topics, taking note of how religion, race, class, sexual orientation, and gender differences interact with the ideas and policies concerning families.

HIST 217H - The American Century
Credits: Four (4)
Prerequisite: Membership in Bascom Honors Program
In 1941, publisher Henry Luce proclaimed “the American century” and declared that the United States should “exert upon the world the full impact of our influence, for such purposes as we see fit and by such means as we see fit.” In addition to surveying major events that shaped domestic society and eventually made the United States into a global superpower, a central goal of this course will be to come to terms with the meanings of modern America. What makes modern America modern? In answering this question, we will pay particular attention to a wide range of issues: immigration, work, reform movements, war, peace, consumption and poverty, politics, mass culture, economic crisis and abundance, education, health, and family. During the past century, how and why have race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and other dimensions of public and private identity changed Americans’ ideas about equality and freedom so profoundly? Another goal of the course is to introduce students to history as a way of thinking about the world and to help them develop their own historical questions and answers.

Even today, we live in the shadow of Alexander-a fact that we will explore by considering the portrayal of Alexander in modern-day books and movies, as well as the re-invention of Alexander to serve the agendas of nationalistic politics.

HIST 219H - Genocide in Modern World
Credits: Four (4)
Prerequisite: Membership in Bascom Honors Program
“Never again,” many people said about genocide after being exposed to the horrors of the Holocaust and concentration camps of World War Two. However, in many ways the Holocaust was just a part of a number of modern genocides that preceded and would follow it. In this class, we will look at a number of different genocidal campaigns across the globe in the late 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the international reactions to them, including (but not limited to) the Holocaust, the programs concerning the Aboriginal population in Australia, the eugenics movement in the United States, the genocide at Darfur, and Pol Pot’s regime in Cambodia. We will try to place these events in their local, political, international, and historical consequences and formulate reasons why the twentieth century has sometimes been labeled the “century of genocide.”

We will address these questions and others as we examine such pivotal figures in pop culture as superheroes, sex symbols, action heroes, nerds, and romantic leads. We will use film, music, television, comics, and other media from the 1930s to the present throughout the course to examine, from Superman and Scarlet O’Hara to Buffy Summers and Dean Winchester, what it means to be masculine or feminine in American popular culture.
