This course explores the history of the idea and condition of nature from the Enlightenment to the present. Drawing on contemporary historical scholarship as well as a range of thinkers and writers from Thoreau to Carson and beyond, we will study the many ways in which humans have thought about and treated the natural world around them and how the natural world has shaped human history in turn. We will also meet occasionally with a parallel course on "the Politics of Nature" (GSWS 213). Some background in history is recommended.

Topics will include imperial rivalries, the emergence of creole cultures, trade and smuggling, oceanic and coastal environments, the circulations of commodities, diseases, print, and ideas, slavery and the slave trade, community studies of Atlantic places, and the promise and limits of an Atlantic perspective. Students will produce an original research paper on an Atlantic topic.

In this course, students will coordinate with a community partner to design and plan an exhibit about Rochester's own history. By collaborating with their classmates and a community partner over the course of the semester, students will be able to actively engage with the techniques and theories that they are reading about in the classroom. In addition to learning more about Rochester's own history, students can expect to explore how elements of ethnography, public outreach, design, and digital technology contribute to public history. As a culmination, students will plan the launch of the exhibit at an off-campus site for the greater Rochester community.

Today Latin America is the most urbanized region of the world. Over 80 percent of its population lives in urban areas, many of which are megacities or primate cities. Just over one hundred years ago, however, the region was largely agrarian and rural. This seminar explores the process of that urbanization from 1850 to the present. From the mass arrival of immigrants to cities like Montevideo, São Paulo, and Buenos Aires, to the internal migrations spurred by land accumulation and mechanization, students will read about and discuss the politics of urban spaces, the daily negotiations that occurred between residents and officials, the environmental challenges that urbanization provoked, and the persistence of cultural diversity. Students will write an original research paper on a topic of their choosing.

This seminar examines the history of beliefs about the end of the world in the western Judeo-Christian tradition. We will examine such topics as the birth of apocalyptic thought, the medieval development of various aspects of traditions about the End (such as the figure of Antichrist and millenarian traditions), millennial influences on the discovery and colonization of the New World, millennial movements of the last two centuries (such as the Millerites and the Mormons), and contemporary apocalyptic scenarios. A major theme of the course will be the flexibility of apocalyptic language, its ability to interpret various historical situations, and its power to move people to acceptance or action.

Our world is replete with frontiers. We speak of the frontiers of science and medicine, of new or unexpected frontiers in the farthest reaches of the globe, of space as the ‘final frontier.’ The term itself implies action: frontiers are to be crossed, conquered, and pushed back. These frontiers of our popular imagination owe much to a theory first articulated more than a century ago. While it has been challenged, historians have since explored how various frontiers—physical, religious, political, linguistic, cultural—have defined societies throughout the world. Viewing frontiers as barriers but also sites for cultural exchange, we’ll look at colonization, settlement, trade, and the spread of ideas.

Apprentice teachers act as participant-observers in an undergraduate course under the close supervision of a member of the faculty. Ordinarily, students will attend the course; hold weekly meetings with the professor to discuss the progress of the course, and, in many cases, consider strategies for teaching the weeks assigned reading, assist the professor in preparing examination questions, paper topics, and other written assignments; gain experience in evaluating undergraduates work by reading and commenting on (but not grading) exams and essays; and prepare a lecture or lead a class discussion.
