HIS 120Crimes Against Humanity: Historical Perspectives3

This course examines the historical development of the idea of a “crime against humanity,“ and the strengths and weakness of the idea as an element of international law. Crimes against Humanity emerged as a legal institution in the aftermath of World War II and the Holocaust, and the global relevance of the concept has expanded from this particular, European, base. After first examining the violence and genocide that ultimately led to the post-WWII Nuremberg trials and formal prosecutions for "crimes against humanity", the course looks at how the definition of a crime an against humanity has expanded and become more inclusive in response to historical events such as South African Apartheid or Argentina’s "Dirty War". The last part of the course examines how we think and cope with crimes against humanity; the creation and development of international institutions meant to police and prosecute such crimes; the role of public memory and discourses serve in politicizing (or de-politicizing) the legacy of such crimes, and the place of reparations and recognition of past crimes in the contemporary political and social landscape.

HIS 206European History: Witches, Wizards and the Rise of Scientific Thought3

The fifteenth through the eighteenth centuries produced some of the great intellectual milestones in European history: the Renaissance, Reformation, Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment. Yet during this same period, Europeans also became increasingly fascinated with (or terrified of) magic and the occult. This fascination manifested itself in witchcraft hysteria among the general population, as well as in an interest in the study of divination, astrology and alchemy among the intellectual elite. This course will examine the social, cultural, political and economic trends which produced this apparent dichotomy, and seek to identify those forces which ultimately led to victory of science over magic.

HIS 240The US-Mexico Border and the History of Mexican Migration3

This course offers a historical perspective on the US-Mexico border and the movement of people and goods across it. Immigration has long been controversial and recent Mexican migration to the United States in particular has proven to be a political lighting rod. This in-depth study of the history of the U.S.-Mexico border and Mexican immigration will provide us with insight into long-standing debates over who should be allowed into the country; how - and against what perceived threats - we should secure our borders; how immigration impacts American society and what our country will look like in the future. In this course we will address such as: How and why has the U.S.-Mexico border changed physically from a mere "line in the sand" to a militarized checkpoint reinforced by weaponized fences, borders patrol agents, volunteer vigilantes and drones? How has it changed legally in order to facilitate the flow of certain goods while restricting the flow of laborers? What factors drive migration, and how has Mexican migration to the United States change over time? Why are some groups seen as "assimilable" while others are assumed to be unable or unwilling to assimilate? Why is immigration such as controversial issue in the US politics? How do we reconcile conflicting national narratives of the United States as both a "nation of immigrants" and a "gatekeeping nation"? Credit Badge: Immigration Advocacy and Policy.

HIS 247The Global Cold War3

The Cold War (1945-1990) shaped nearly every aspect of post-war twentieth-century life including political ideologies, international relations, military and security strategies, and even cultural and artistic expressions. While many of us think of the Cold War as a standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union, it was in fact a broader international conflict that had especially devastating consequences in the so-called Third World. This class will study the Cold War as a multi-polar conflict involving more than just the superpowers of the US, Soviet Union, and China. We will explore topics such as decolonization, race and gender, international institutions, and transnational activism. We will also examine the global effects of the Cold War using case studies of individual countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Throughout this course we will see that the Cold War was a truly global conflict and, at least in the developing world, was rarely "cold."

HIS 289Social History of Sports in the U.S3

This course will examine the experience of sports and leisure for different groups of Americans (e.g., African-Americans, women, working class), from colonial times to the present but primarily focused on the twentieth century. My goal is to introduce students to historical analysis and argument through the examination of the sports and leisure time activities that won increasing popularity among Americans from the late nineteenth to the late twentieth century. This course will incorporate analytical categories from social history (class, race, gender, ethnicity) as well as the frameworks used by cultural, economic, and political history. This course will thus involve students in gaining a better understanding of the relationships that sports and leisure have with the social, economic, cultural and political forces at work in the United States and the world. Students will appreciate the issues that have affected sports participation over the years, including racial and gender discrimination, class economics, and commercialization.

HIS 297SSold in the Free City of New York: The History and Legacies of Slavery in New York City3

This new Topics Course will explore how New York City with its beginnings in Lower Manhattan is critically important for studying how the simultaneous development of slavery and freedom evolved in the Northern region of the United States. The course also will study how the slave business decisively contributed to the city’s early growth and national economic dominance by the early nineteenth century. Two key questions will be addressed:1) How did the business of slavery paradoxically develop alongside republican ideals of liberty and equality in in New York City, beginning first in Lower Manhattan? 2) How did enslaved and free Black people manifest agency for survival and building lives in the context of slavery and systemic racism? This course will utilize a place-based, experiential humanities approach to teaching as inquiry-based learning that empowers students to connect the achievements and injustices of Lower Manhattan’s past to their own lived experiences in New York City and beyond. It is an approach defined by content as well as by method. This experiential approach combines established humanities practices of interpretive close reading and contextual analysis with firsthand opportunities to learn in and with NYC institutions and organizations through archives-based undergraduate research, community collaboration, and co-production of public humanities projects. The course subject content and methodology is a contributing course of the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) History and Legacies of Slavery Grant awarded to Pace University for 2026. The CIC grant supports Pace collaborations with the New York City Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS), Black Gotham Experience (BGX), and Humanities New York (HNY) in developing experiential public-facing projects that embed both undergraduate research and civic engagement with community partners to advance and disseminate knowledge about the history and legacies of slavery in New York City.

American events and developments will be contextualized by their global counterparts. Particular focus will be given to conceptions of the roles of markets, states, consumers, and capitalists.

HIS 619The American Enlightenment0-3

This course takes ideas seriously as a major inspiration for human activity: people are willing both to live and die for deeply held ideas. We’ll use the American Enlightenment to explore how a constellation of new, exciting, and dangerous ideas arose around the Atlantic World in the eighteenth century. These ideas challenged people’s most fundamental assumptions about reality: Who should govern us? What do we know—and how do we know it? How should we live together in society? What does it mean to be religious? What is natural—and what is unnatural? How should we raise and educated children? Most people associate the Enlightenment with Europe, but in this course we will explore how the specific conditions of eighteenth-century North America—slavery, the presence of large numbers of indigenous peoples, a colonial political context, and even local animals, rocks, and plants—also shaped the major questions and conversations of the time. We’ll examine how Enlightenment ideas directly influenced the American Revolution’s commitment to liberty, natural rights, separation of powers, and the pursuit of happiness (as embodied in such founding documents as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution). But we’ll also stray from politics to look at how Enlightenment ideas also crept into almost every other area as well, from ideas about child- rearing to maps to architecture. NYC: TBD

The American Revolution entailed some remarkable transformations--converting British colonists into American revolutionaries, and a cluster of colonies into a confederation of states with a common cause--but it was far more complex and enduring than the fighting of a war. This course will examine the Revolution from this broad perspective, tracing the participants' shifting sense of themselves as British subjects, colonial settlers, revolutionaries, and Americans. Students will also consider major historiographical questions about the revolution such as its limits and its ideology.

HIS 624The Age of Jefferson3

The Declaration of Independence articulates the fundamental principles on which the new American nation was founded. Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration's author, played a crucial role in the Revolution that destroyed the British Empire and in the creation of a new republican regime that he and his fellow founders hoped would initiate a "new order of the ages." Focusing on Jefferson's career and thought, this course will examine the momentous developments that defined Jefferson's Age, from the imperial crisis through his presidency. Jefferson's eloquent writings illuminate the history of resistance, revolution, and nation-making that led once-loyal subjects of King George Ill to claim an independent place among "the powers of the earth." Participants will explore challenges to establishing a viable union among colony-states with diverse and conflicting interests, perfecting and preserving that union under the new federal Constitution, and projecting American power across the continent. For Jefferson, the "Revolution of 1800" secured the vision of an expansive "empire of liberty" that inspired the Revolutionary generation. Displacing Indians and neutralizing European imperial rivals, the United States would also-tragically-promote development of the largest and most powerful slave society in the modern world.

HIS 626Legacies of the Age of Revolutions0-3

As we approach the sesquicentennial or 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, there are timeless and new issues around how we remember its origins, experience, and legacy. Situating the struggle for American independence from the British Empire amidst the broader transformations of the Age of Revolutions, this course explores the meaning and scope of revolution, in the long eighteenth century and in contested commemorations today. By considering how contact and imperial expansion in North America set the stage for global conflict over sovereignty and freedom, we will study how complex interactions between Indigenous people, enslaved people, and settler colonialists fermented equally complex views and ideologies surrounding revolution. This process was not limited solely to British North America, but as we will examine, took shape around the Haitian and French revolutions as well. Taking the vantage of how the American Revolution was remembered by subsequent generations, both as a singular event, a cluster of ideologies and protests, and in comparison with other late eighteenth century movements, we will consider how debates of what the revolution meant in and to the early United States speaks to contemporary understandings. We will especially consider whose voices surrounding revolution are celebrated, criticized, or left-out all together through various modes of communication and interpretation. In doing so, we will consider how revolutionary experiences – real, imagined, and digital – impact our present day.

HIS 640Origins of the Civil War0-3

What was the Civil War all about? The answer lies largely in its origins. This course examines various aspects of what historians call "The Crisis of the 1850s," the crucial decade that ended in the secession of eleven slave states from the Union? Why did they secede? And why didn't Lincoln let them? The readings focus on two aspects off the crisis. We will first review conflicting interpretations of the origins of the Civil War, after which we will focus on specific aspects of the crisis of the 1850, in particular the cascading series of events that led to war: the War with Mexico, the "Compromise" of 1850, the fugitive slave crisis, the struggle over Kansas, the Dred Scot decision, the collapse of the Whig Party, the rise of the Republican Party, the catastrophic fissure of the Democratic party, and finally the election of Lincoln and the secession crisis. No one methodology can adequately account for the origins of the Civil War-it requires economic, social, political, and cultural history.

In this course students explore the causes, course, and consequences of the American Civil War, from the 1840s to 1877. Students will come to understand the multiple meanings of a transforming event in American history. Those meanings may be defined in many ways: national, sectional, racial, constitutional, individual, social, intellectual, or moral. Students will examine four broad themes: the crisis of union and disunion in an expanding republic; slavery, race, and emancipation as national problem, personal experience, and social process; the experience of modern, total war for individuals and society; and the political and social challenges of Reconstruction.

HIS 644Social Change in the Civil War Era0-3

In 1930, Charles and Mary Beard wrote "that at the bottom of the so-called Civil War... was a social war." What did they mean by this? How did different groups (e.g. races, genders, classes) interact with the nation and the state before this conflict? After? This course will attempt to answer these questions. Its focus will be on African-Americans and women, and their journey to redefine their relationship to their country and time during the most contentious time in American history

HIS 645The Civil War Rank and File0-3

This course pursues an extended consideration of the personal letters, diaries, and drawings produced by Civil War soldiers and nurses. Such material provides unparalleled access to the vivid experiences of enlistees in Confederate and U.S. armies and in the associated medical corps. Gripping testimony from this "People's Contest," supplemented by scholarly accounts, will introduce students to the rigors of war, the burdens of separation from loved ones, and the jolting experience of combat. Additionally, the course offers a range of perspectives on the most revolutionary period of American history, as chattel slavery was overthrown, racial hierarchies were recast, and Americans witnessed a fundamental shift in role of government and the meaning of citizenship. In reflecting on historians' use of letters and diaries, the course raises broader questions about building life stories from self-authored evidence.

HIS 652Conflict and Reform: The United States 1877-19200-3

This course is about the history of the United States during a period of great social change and conflict. Over these four decades, the U.S. became a predominately urban and industrial nation, a nation of immigrants and wage-earners, an imperial nation, and a nation where progressive reform was the order of the day--though its definition and aims were furiously contested. We will seek to understand how and why these tumultuous changes occurred--and who gained and who lost in the process.Restrictions/Requirements: Completion of 24 credits in the Gilder-Lehrman program.

HIS 653Making America Modern: Business and Politics in the 20th Century0-3

How has the past century of American history shaped the political and economic landscape of the early twenty-first century? What is the broader context and historical backstory of contemporary political and social movements, business practices, and global flows of people, capital, and ideas? How can we use historical knowledge and the tools of historical analysis to better understand and address present-day challenges? With these questions in mind, this course explores key moments and people in the history of the United States from the end of World War I to the present. Course organization is both chronological and thematic, performing deep, evidence-based study of particular events and people in recent U.S. history to explore the evolving role of government, grassroots activism and fights for individual and group rights, partisan political change, technology as a product and shaper of society, changing patterns of production and consumption, migration and immigration, financial systems and global markets, and America's changing role in the world.

HIS 654The Great Depression and the New Deal0-3

The world that broke down in 1929 broke down for reasons that astute observers had predicted in advance. The subsequent and nearly total failure to repair the damage owed to clear errors of judgment and action, and the prolonged misery that millions of people suffered could therefore have been lessened. Roosevelt and the Democratic Congress of the New Deal era achieved a marked historical success by correcting those errors. They also committed errors of their own. But in the 1936 election, the American voters overwhelmingly asked their leaders to forge forward with their experiments, mistakes aside, rather than return to the old and, to their minds, wholly discredited ways. This course will explore the buildup to the Great Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed and the New Deal created to counteract it.

More than 50 years after its tragic end, the presidency of John F. Kennedy continues to be the focus of scholars, educators, biographers, journalists, politicians, advertisers, students, and citizens of the nation and the world. Why should a mere thousand-day presidency continue to attract such universal attention? Through the lenses of imagery, symbolism, media, leadership theory, and public policy, this course will explore the strengths, weaknesses, successes, and failures of the 35th president of the United States. By examining JFK's biography, career, rhetoric, and policies, including on the Cold War, the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, the Peace Corps, civil rights, the space race, and the arts, students will gain both knowledge of and perspective on the Camelot era.

HIS 667The Supreme Court and the Constitution in the 20th Century3

The Constitution is the founding document of the United States. Yet ever since the process of ratification, the document's meaning-and questions about who gets to decide its meaning-have spurred pitched political battles, campaigns for elected office and social change, and arguments among ordinary voters from all walks of life. Americans have debated the question of what the Constitution means in courtrooms and legislatures, at lunch counters and on picket lines, outside medical clinics and in schools. Studying the Constitution in the 20th century means learning about how law, society, politics, and culture all interact. Through examination of nine defining cases and themes, we will discover how regular people, social movement activists and organizations, politicians, scholars, lawyers, and judges have fought about what the Constitution should mean inside and outside of the courtroom.

HIS 671Race and Rights in America0-3

This course will explore the diverse political philosophies of influential black Americans as they sought to secure their dignity as human beings and rights as citizens. What makes this story intriguing is that black Americans struggled to secure justice for themselves on the basis of principles white Americans professed to hold near and dear. Quite simply, black Americans asked that America be true to herself. As Frederick Douglass put it: “Not a Negro problem, not a race problem, but a national problem; whether the American people will ultimately administer equal justice to all the varieties of the human race in this Republic.” America answered by being true, to one extent or another, to the principle of consent. American blacks asked her to be true to that other American principle, equality. This course examines the fundamental tension between human equality and government by consent, a tension present at the birth of the American Union in 1776. The tension between freedom and equality forms the context for the struggle of black Americans—nay, all Americans—to exercise their rights as citizens. A critical evaluation of leading black thinkers in American political thought helps one understand what it means to be both an American citizen and a civilized human being.

HIS 672Amazing Grace: How Writers Helped End American Slavery3

Through readings, discussion, and a series of short writing assignments, we will discover the antislavery writers and reformers of the 17th, 18th. and 19th centuries whose passionate words formed the vanguard of a global movement. We will explore the poetry, fiction, sermons, slave narratives, and songs that helped to end American slavery and make human rights an expectation of people throughout the world.

HIS 673Emancipation3

The emancipation of four million slaves during the Civil War was the single most revolutionary social transformation in American history. Most accounts focus on the Emancipation Proclamation and oversimplify a process that took generations to complete and involved thousands of men and women struggling for freedom before and during the war. This course will explore the so-called "first emancipation" in the North after the American Revolution, the development of an antislavery movement committed to a number of federal policies designed to bring about what Abraham Lincoln called the "ultimate extinction" of slavery, the implementation of those policies during the Civil War, and their aftermath in Reconstruction. In addition to the Emancipation Proclamation, we will explore the various antislavery statutes passed by Congress as well as the decision to press for a Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery everywhere in the United States. But we will also try to balance the political history of emancipation with a social history of emancipation as it happened on the ground in the Civil War South. Thus, along with the policymakers in Washington, we will consider the role of the slaves and Union soldiers in the wartime emancipation process, the obstacles to emancipation, and the postwar struggle to secure freedom and expand its meaning.

HIS 674Afircan American History Since Emancipation3

This course will focus on the struggle of African Americans to achieve full citizenship in the aftermath of legal slavery. In particular, we will consider the promise and demise of citizenship represented by Reconstruction, the era of breathtaking anti-black violence and terror known as "Redemption," and the Great Migrations of African Americans from the South to the North We will study the rise of Jim Crow, the roots of black political organizing in the early 20th century, and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. We will conclude by exploring the transformative effect on American politics of the Black Power Movement and consider how an understanding of its importance compels us to rethink the civil rights era.

HIS 677The Lives of the Enslaved0-3

This course is a study of enslaved people. It is a course about the ways human being coped with captivity. It is also a course that listens to their voices through audio files, diaries, letters, actions, and silences. Centering the people of slavery rather than viewing them as objects shifts the focus to their commentary on slavery. In addition to listening to enslaved people, students will have the opportunity to engage some of the most cutting-edge scholarship on the subject. Although the early literature objectified enslaved people and hardly paid attention to their experiences, work published since the Civil Rights Movement and into the 21st century offers rich accounts of enslaved life. By approaching the institution of slavery in the United States from the enslaved perspective through firsthand accounts of their experiences, students will have the opportunity to engage a variety of sources including narratives, plantation records, podcasts, short films, and other media. Some of the specific themes addressed include gender, sexuality, region, labor, resistance, pleasure, love, family, and community among the enslaved.

These two metaphors reflect a new interpretation of Malcolm and Martin, in which a partnership is illuminated by examining the intricacy of their lives.
