Food literally connects our bodies to global history: what we eat now - and why we eat it - result from centuries of unequal economic, political, and cultural interactions. Food also symbolizes the power relations that have shaped human identities, diets, and health over the last 500 years. Using scholarly writings, fiction, film, and field trips in the Boston area, we will explore how histories of empire and globalization have shaped contemporary foodways and the global politics of food provisioning today. 889

Credit(s): 3 Component(s): Lecture Grading Basis: Graded (includes P/F option) Repeatable for credit: Not repeatable Description: People have been trying to understand the fall of Rome since the fall of Rome. In 200 CE, the Roman Empire was the largest, most diverse, and most powerful state the Mediterranean world had ever seen. By 500, the Western half of the Empire had splintered into smaller kingdoms that would eventually become the basis for modern European states. What happened? This course will examine the political, military, environmental, and social changes of the Empire as it loses territory and transforms into the medieval world. But we will spend just as much time trying to understand what it was like for typical Romans to live through this period. We will study armies and taxes, but also the rise of Christianity, the prevalence of slavery, the shifting gender norms, and the stories that filled the imaginations of people throughout this time. We will discuss major ancient cities like Rome and Constantinople, but we'll also venture out to the edges of the Empire and beyond learning about the Goths, Celts, Sassanians, and more. In addition to learning about the transformation of the Roman Empire between 250 and 800, students will also practice thinking like historians; that is, we will think about possibilities and limitations of the wide range of sources that historians use to piece together what happened and why it matters. How do we know what we know about the past? And why should we care how history is written? Course Note: CLSICS 311L and HIST 311L and RELSTY 311L are the same course.

The course captures various dimensions of life in the bustling city, including reading practices and education, alehouses and coffeehouses, the experiences of the working poor, and urban crime.

Credit(s): 3 Component(s): Lecture Grading Basis: Graded (includes P/F option) Repeatable for credit: Not repeatable Description: Far from being a straightforward national history of modern France, this course uses many lenses of Diversity, especially class and religion, to question the validity of the nation's motto (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity) for the people who live in France, as well as to understand the complexities of national identity. France has been especially impactful in shaping ideas about citizenship and national belonging, largely due to its revolutionary history and reputation as a center of intellectual, enlightened thought. Does the nation live up to its promise? We will look at major historical moments, like the Enlightenment, French Revolution, Paris Commune, Dreyfus Affair, World Wars, and decolonization to try to answer that question, noting how the promise of equality for all people within the country has often depended on categories of identity, including class, race, gender, sexuality, and religion.

Credit(s): 3 Component(s): Lecture Grading Basis: Graded (includes P/F option) Repeatable for credit: Not repeatable Description: This course examines the history of Europe from the Enlightenment through the present, using the primary prism of women and gender, with secondary, intersectional lenses of class, ethnicity, race, and sexuality. We will focus on gendered themes such as private vs. public, sameness vs. difference, sexuality, feminism, and women's political roles, and we will look at major moments like the Enlightenment, French Revolution, Imperialism, the World Wars, Eastern Europe, Decolonization and Contemporary Identity. At the same time, we will take an intersectional lens to many of the events of European history, using gender alongside of class (in the Industrial Revolution and the Russian Revolution), race (in imperialism and decolonization), ethnicity (especially in discussions of ethnic cleansing in the Balkans), and sexuality (in the interwar period and in the contemporary period). In so doing, we will demonstrate how a focus on women and gender, with implications in class, ethnicity, race, and sexuality, leads to an essential shift in how we think about the major times and events of European history. Due to these multiple themes and foci, this course satisfies the UMass Boston requirement for International Diversity.

The first half of the course will focus on the films of the Weimar Republic - a time of bold artistic experimentation when Germany's film industry was second only to Hollywood in worldwide influence. The second half of the semester will be devoted to the cinema produced in Germany during the Nazi dictatorship, when movies were no longer simply entertainment, but also served as an important form of propaganda. The films of both of these periods will be analyzed as historical sources that illuminate the society that produced them.

Artists challenged European traditions in art, music and literature. The period also saw racial polarization and a new, rights-oriented African American movement. Unprecedented immigration and the massive influx of so-called "new immigrants' from southern and eastern Europe stirred nativist and racial exclusionist sentiment.
