key events, figures, philosophies, tactics, and consequences of the modern civil rights movement in the United States. The period from 1950-1968 receives special attention, but the roots of the freedom struggle in an earlier era and the effect of the movement on recent American history also warrant investigation. This course will use primary source documents, film, interpretive literature, and music in order to fully study the most powerful mass protest movement in modern US history. Special emphasis will be given to the centrality of religion in the movement and the liberal social ethics, which motivated key participants. In addition, this course will concentrate on the powerful role played by whites, both in the North and the south, who fiercely resisted the black freedom struggle.

HOLOCAUST AND HUMAN RIGHTS (MINOR)The minor in “Holocaust and Human Rights Studies” will train students to critically examine political and cultural events—both historical and contemporary-using the inter- related frameworks of human rights, ethical and moral philosophy and international law. The study of state- sponsored crimes against humanity, the impact of extreme nationalism, the use of the media in spreading racism, discrimination and prejudice, the demise of democracy, the power of resistance and rescue networks and the cultivation of empathy, courage and memory through film, the arts, and the social sciences, requires a multidisciplinary approach. The study of the Holocaust and genocide in Bosnia, Rwanda and other nations offers important insight into behaviors such as obedience to authority, conformity, altruism, and civil courage. This minor encourages students to recognize how human rights are intertwined with fields as disparate as education, medicine, international law, theater and art history. Completion of the Minor in Holocaust and Human Rights Studies helps students to prepare for further studies or careers in law, social and governmental service, including education, as well as the arts.

the history of stereotypical images of minorities in film and the mass media. We will study how ideas of race and culture were formulated or shaped from the early 19th century to the present. Students will consider how minorities in the U.S. are represented as outsiders in American society. Students will read about and define derogatory or stereotypical images of minorities and discuss why these caricatures are enduring and, in some cases, very popular. Images that present African Americans as sambos, mammies, jezebels, beasts and darkies will be examined. We will also consider the image of Asian Americans as evil, simple, illiterate, and/or dragon ladies in the mainstream media. The popular image of Native Americans as savages, unworthy, and un-American will also be deconstructed. Students will be asked to read recent scholarship on gender, race and American culture and asked to consider the question of why we (themselves included) still accept and enjoy these unflattering images (i.e. how does their viewing, buying and listening habits either stop or create greater demand for minority stereotypes).

Why did sexuality and gender roles become part of the marketing of Empire in advertisements, films (like Tarzan) and children’s literature?

In exploring imperialism’s relationship to gender, race, class, religion, and ideology, we will also focus on critiques and resistance to empire, particularly 20th Century African and Asian nationalist movements.

majors, this course offers history majors new insights into the craft of writing history and culminates in the research and writing of a substantive senior thesis. Reading seminal works in our field, we search for answers to fundamental questions such as: Who decides what is history? Who makes history and why? We look at the evolution of historical writing and thinking—a field known as historiography—as a contested terrain. The course navigates between colonial and postcolonial methods and periods to help the students to capture the changing nature of historical inquiry. Over the course of the semester students select their own research projects, lead class discussion about their work-in-progress and visit archives and libraries to search for research materials for their thesis. 187 / 445
