HIST 206Museums, Monuments, and Memory4
Credits: Who tells the stories of the past outside the classroom? This course explores museums, films, monuments, historic preservation, and other sites of “public history.” More people encounter the past in these ways than from teachers or academic research. How do public historians shape how we experience and understand the past? How do they contribute to conversations about identity and the role that history plays in creating community in a democratic society? And how do they provide a career path for historians outside the classroom?

HIST 208American Agriculture: Past, Present, Progress4
Credits: Over the last century, we have experienced a growing disconnect from our food and farming system in the United States. Many people in modern America don’t see agriculture’s relevance in their daily lives. Many people think farming doesn’t affect them. But it does, often in profound ways. In addition to producing the food and fiber we rely on, agriculture has major environmental, social, economic, and even spiritual impacts. In other words, farming influences the literal and figurative landscapes of our lives-and it’s well worth understanding the ideas, people, and places that have shaped our agricultural system. It’s also worth envisioning a more sustainable, regenerative, and equitable future for American agriculture and food systems, which creates a better world for all of us. This course can help us do that. Throughout the semester, we will engage with important voices in agricultural thought and trace the evolution of agrarianism throughout U.S. history, aiming to understand how our current agricultural system-with its myriad successes, failures, and opportunities-has come to be. Given its roots in the ENVS Program, the course will especially focus on themes related to sustainability and justice, striving to imagine an “authentic agrarianism” that grounds, respects, and empowers rather than one that dominates and exploits. Whether we live on farms or in small towns, suburbs, or a major city like Memphis, we should think about the impact of agriculture on our lives, communities, and planet-and develop the skills, vocabulary, and strategies needed to demand that it live up to its potential.

HIST 214Modern Europe4
Credits: Major Requirement: History of Europe This course acquaints students with the major political, social, economic, and cultural forces that have shaped the European continent as we know it today. While following a chronological perspective and highlighting a familiar set of events--such as the French and Industrial Revolutions, imperialism, communism and fascism, the two world wars, the Cold War, and the development of the European Union--we will focus on a series of themes. We concentrate on the making of the Nation, Class, Gender and Race in the long 19th century, and the often tragic fate of these modern inventions in the 20th century. We trace the sometimes violent, complex, and interesting circumstances of the peoples who constructed these modern Western notions. The successful completion of this course will substantially enrich not only your understanding of Europe in the world today, but some of the central categories and values that underpin how we have come to structure our society and define ourselves.

HIST 238Sounds of the City: Sonic Adventures in NYC History4
Credits: This course is taught on location in the New York City Internship Program each fall. This course examines the history of New York City through its musical and sonic cultures, positioning listening as a method of historical inquiry. Treating sound as both cultural expression and historical evidence, students will explore how music in New York reflects and shapes processes of migration, racial formation, labor, technological change, and urban transformation. Weekly excursions-including walking tours, visits to archives, and guided listening exercises-connect sonic materials to the physical and social spaces in which they were produced and experienced. These excursions emphasize the city itself as an archive, accessible through public, low-cost, and everyday spaces. By treating New York as a primary text, the course develops students’ ability to analyze sound within its historical and spatial contexts. The final project, a sound-based assignment integrating archival research with creative or interpretive methods, invites students to synthesize these approaches through their own critical listening practice.

HIST 285Cities on the Silk Roads2
Credits: This course centers Uzbekistan and its Central Asian neighbors in the history of the silk roads - past and present. We will trace the paths of the Mongol, Sogdian, and Timurid empires, survey stunning Islamic architecture, and follow the movement of people, goods, and knowledge on the silk roads. We will also engage with environmental history by challenging simplistic narratives of “hydraulic civilizations” and “oriental despotism” to understand the unique adaptations of pastoral nomadism, urban design, and indigenous irrigation systems, among other developments. This course is for 2 credits as part of a Maymester program.

HIST 376Colonial and Contemporary North Africa4
Credits: This seminar focuses on the four countries of North Africa, or the Maghrib (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya). The modern history of the region has been deeply marked by the experience of colonization. The French occupation of Algeria persisted for 132 years. Tunisia was also subjected to 70 years of French rule, Morocco was colonized by France for 44 years, and Libya came under Italy's tutelage for over 30 years. To understand the contemporary Maghrib, one has to study its colonial past and its impact on post-independence states and societies. We will examine transformations of precolonial social, economic, and cultural patterns; comparative histories of colonialism and nationalism; the trajectories of postcolonial states, and recent conflicts and revolutions in the region. Through engagement with different themes relating to the colonial and postcolonial experience of the Maghrib, students will consider more general questions about the nature and consequences of colonialism.
