From the Paris arcades and the Inkan ayllu, people have mobilized a usable past to envision new communities that confronted capitalist institutions and socialized work. This course examines critiques of modernity in East Asia, Europe, and Latin America during the twentieth century to analyze experiences of displacement, dispossession, and class formation in the context of such social structures as capitalism and settler colonialism. It particularly focuses on the works of scholars who theorized the problem of modernity and drew on local traditions to resolve their tensions.

This research seminar focuses on spatial dimensions of historical study and analysis and how the physical world reflects historical change. We will survey how historians use spatial, textual, and visual analysis to advance research into Early Modern Atlantic network formation, circulations of disease, news, ideas, and material culture, and witchcraft hysteria before students learn GIS and database building basics and develop their own research topics.

Learn how to read, analyze, and transcribe Spanish writing from the 1500s-1700s in this interactive course. Paleography is an essential skill for deciphering primary sources whether they were produced in Mexico, Spain, Puerto Rico, the Philippines or any other Spanish-speaking territory. This course prepares students for historical research in digital databases, physical archives and specialized libraries. We will collectively transcribe, analyze and annotate a group document to familiarize ourselves with early modern Spanish. For your final project you will analyze a digitized primary source of your own choice. Students should have a strong background in Spanish (or Portuguese). No HIST pre-requisites necessary.

Why did fertility rates decline over the nineteenth century? Why did women begin choosing hospital rather than home births in the twentieth century? What difference have the Pill and other reproductive technologies made in shaping how women think about pregnancy and childbirth? Why have breastfeeding rates been rising since the 1970s? How have women's reproductive experiences differed along lines of race and class? In this course, we will consider these questions and more as we explore how women's reproductive experiences and the meanings attached to such experiences have changed over time and why. This is a research seminar, so students will further explore these issues through their own research and writing on some aspect of the history of reproduction. Readings and discussions will focus on the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but students may explore the location and period of their choice in their papers.

This course examines the formation and evolution of American health policy from a political and historical perspective. Concentrating on developments from the early twentieth century to the present, the focus of readings and discussions will be political forces and institutions and historical and cultural contexts. Among the topics covered are periodic campaigns for national health insurance, efforts to rationalize and regionalize health care institutions, the creation of Medicare and Medicaid and the further evolution of these programs, the rise to dominance of economists and economic analysis in the shaping of health policy, racial and gender disparities in access to care and in quality of care, the formation and failure of the Clinton administration's health reform agenda, health reform in the George W. Bush administration and the 2008 presidential campaign, and national health reform and pushback during the Obama administration.

This seminar engages the experiences, writings and political ambitions of individuals typically excluded from discussions of the Atlantic. Key concepts such as Atlantic creoles and the Black Atlantic will be debated in light of recent studies on Sephardic merchants, African healers and Native American intellectuals. In order to contextualize their lives, this course will focus on the Iberian and South Atlantic from the early sixteenth to the late nineteenth century. Our initial readings will center on the circulation of Native American commoners and elites to Spain and will be complemented by seminal ethnohistorical studies. The second part of the course will take on the construction of a South or Lusophone ocean that weaves together the histories of Brazilian, Angolan and Portuguese actors. Students will revise and resubmit an original research paper on a topic of their choice.

The purpose of this course is to help students launch their dissertation projects and its chief outcome will be the dissertation prospectus. To that end, we will work on identifying topics, locating primary sources, engaging with the research literature, finding and applying for external research funding, and drafting and revising the prospectus. We will also discuss related topics, such as archival research practices and presenting work in progress at conferences and other meetings. This course is envisioned as a collaborative enterprise; though each student will focus on their own project, peer support and feedback will be an important part of all we do.

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.
