This course is an upper level seminar on the history of global exploration from the medieval to the modern periods. After a preliminary look at the idea of “exploration,” of what it even means, that is, to be an “explorer,” we will focus each week on a discreet episode in order to convey the full significance of exploration to global history. Our emphasis throughout will be on exploration as cultural and environmental encounter. Focusing on such individual explorers as James Cook, Alexander von Humboldt, Lewis and Clarke, Mary Kingsley, Robert Scott, Gertrude Bell, and others, we will study the ways in which exploration shaped for good and ill our modern, globally interconnected world. The course will pay particular attention to environmental contexts and the environmental consequences of geographical exploration.

The edges of medieval Europe were a melting pot of peoples, cultures, and religions. Using Christian, Muslim, and Jewish sources, this course will examine how complex forces enabled co-existence and cooperation but also conflict. We will focus especially on the military expeditions known as the Crusades which occurred between about 1100 and 1300. Were the Crusades holy wars motivated by religion? Proto-colonial enterprises? Or personal pursuits of martial and dynastic glory? Alongside these questions, we will investigate how the memory of the Crusades survives in modern culture and politics.

This course examines the diverse history of socialist ideology as lived-experience across Europe. It beings with the first theorists of socialism and places their ideas in the context of a rapidly industrializing Europe in Germany, France, and Great Britain. From the Paris Commune to the Iron Curtain, the course explores the surprising varieties of socialist socieites that emerged in the 19th and 20th centuries. This course asks students to consider: how were these societies ruled and why did they fail? To what extent were they influenced by the political philosophies of the 19th century? To what extent were they a product of geo-political conflicts and the failures of capitalism in the 20th? How did socialist leaders and citizens imagine the future of socialist development? What was the every-day lived experience of secret police and state force, but also of food, fashion, music, literature, and film?

This course probes the regional dynamics of the Cold War in East Asia by examining the histories of China, Japan, and South and North Korea during the second half of the twentieth century. It uses primary and secondary works – including literature, film, and government documents – to explore the domestic and international contexts that shaped the region’s geopolitical landscape. Students will first study patterns of state control across East Asia in the form of rapid industrialization, land reform, and mass culture. They will then create dialogue between popular experiences of these social transformations by analyzing the alternative politics of such movements as the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Japanese peace movement, and South Korean democracy movement in relation to the Cold War world system.

Who or what is a captive? Traditionally, the term describes a person unwillingly held by invading forces, colonial pirates, and slave traders. This advanced seminar challenges us to consider the continued practice of captivity in our present-day societies. How do prisons, migrant detention centers, and guerrillas draw on former strategies of coercion and control? How integral is the denial of personhood to these practices, past and present? What of non-human captives? The course incorporates readings from Latin America, United States, Africa, and the vast Mediterranean region. We will explore how historical narratives of captivity are crafted, voiced, but also silenced. The following themes (and others) will be studied this semester: ransom, captive migrants, captive animals, sexual trafficking and imprisonment. Students will develop a research paper on a topic of their choice. Seminar meets once a week.

The United States received the largest number of immigrants in the western hemisphere in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but immigrants’ relative impact in Latin American countries like Brazil and Argentina was arguably more substantial. This course explores the complex events, trends and personal considerations affecting migrants' decisions and experiences. In exploring the movement of Italians, Japanese, Mexicans, and other groups to and within the Americas, we will seek to understand their movements as a function of three essential questions: why do people migrate; who migrates; and how do they choose where they migrate? The course will incorporate a variety of materials including interviews, memoirs, monographs, and demographic studies. Students will also discover Rochester’s own rich immigrant history. Graduate students will develop an extended exploration into the dynamics of internal migration and immigration over the course of the semester.

Literature—and over the past century, film—have been key to shaping modern subjects’ ideas about the past, and how that past has shaped their present. In this course, we will consider how histories of race, racial conflict, and revolt in the United States—so key to the nation’s social structures and dominant myths—have been told and re-shaped by literature and film. The course will pay particular attention to the interaction between race and revolt in the narratives we study—how race shapes narratives of political and social revolt, and how these narratives of revolt in turn shape ideas about race. Histories of Black revolt, indigenous wars and rebellions, immigrant rebellions in the US, and wars of US imperial aggression overseas will all receive attention. Additionally, the course will consider how US literature and film have dealt with rebellions with primarily white protagonists, and how these narratives have shaped and been shaped by racial structures and ideologies. The course is ultimately concerned with how literature and film have shaped dominant understandings of who can and does participate in revolts, and why; and in turn, how these narratives have impacted the social and political struggles that follow in their wake.

In this advanced seminar, students will learn about prior epidemics and pandemics primarily in the United States, and asses the policy responses to these events. They will learn about a number of key case studies in the history of pandemic response, and examine the political history of these responses. They will critically examine primary sources to shed light on contemporary understandings of pandemics and the responses to them, and how these responses were negotiated. With this knowledge and analysis, students will learn to think critically about current pandemics and tie them to a longer history of pandemic responses.

Students will conduct guided research using a variety of software and historical sources to help create a Virtual Digital St. Georges a 400-year-old town with approximately 250 properties and historic buildings. We will build multi-layer 2D and selective 3D computer models of the oldest town in English America (founded 1612). Work will include integrating different types of historical data into Excel or ArcGIS databases, independent research on specific buildings and property owners using digital newspaper archives, "building" individual 3D houses within the town using Sketch-Up or Blender, reconstructing and furnishing historic house interiors using interior design software. Students with computer programming experience may develop mini-games or mobile devise apps to educate modern visitors to the town. SPRING 2023: Students will have the option of a Spring Break archival research and architectural field recording experience actually in St. George's, Bermuda, March 4-12.

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.
