HIST 212US REVOLUTIONARY3

1763-1817 (W) When we think of how this nation was created, we think of the founding fathers. But while Madison, Jefferson, Washington, and Adams were all important, what about the other founders - the men and women who not only debated what it would mean to be a citizen of the United States, but who built the towns and cities, plowed the fields, and taught the next generation exactly what it would mean to be an American? This course examines the events and people who participated in the nation's founding, both the elites and the non-elites. It explores the processes of western expansion, the challenges faced by Native Americans confronting this new nation, and ideas about the nature of freedom, citizenship, and government in the period of near constant turbulence from the end of the Seven Years War, which set in motion the events that led to the Revolution, to the end of the War of 1812, which finally created a truly independent nation.

HIST 235BODY,MIND,SPIRIT3

EUR 1350-1650 (T) This course focuses on the changes that reshaped the European world during the 14th through 17th centuries: the devastation of the plague, a cultural explosion of artistry (theatrical, visual, and musical), the growth of learning and literacy through the spread of the printed word, the political power of newly centralized monarchies, and the religious tensions that erupted into civil wars. At the same time, intellectual and scientific discoveries altered old views of the human body, the universe, and the natural world. We will focus on the intersecting topics of learning, instruction, education, and acquisition of skills and explore the educational experiences of women and men in universities, convent and grammar schools, guilds, and at home.

HIST 268RACE &

RACISM:HIST, IDEOL, RESI (H) Activists, scholars, and many others took to the streets, their workplaces, and classrooms in protest of anti-Black racism as evidenced by the 2020 police killings including: Ahmaud Arbery, murdered by two aimed White men who determined that he did not belong in a Georgia suburb; Breanna Taylor, an EMT in Louisville, KY who police officers shot dead in her own home; George Floyd, who the world watched die under Derrick Chauvin's knee; and Tony McDale, a transgender Black man in FL, murdered by police. These protests garnered support from people not typically involved in activism for racial justice and crossed racial and socio- economic boundaries. Despite a deadly pandemic and before the vaccine, people masked-up and took to the streets in protest of the virus of racism for which there remains no vaccination. Eerily reminiscent of Red Summer, 1919 plagued with racial conflict during the worldwide influenza epidemic, Summer 2020, illustrates the seeming permanence of racism in our beloved America. These horrific killings are symptomatic of structural racism and systemic violence rooted in White supremacy, racialized heteropatriarchy, capitalism, imperialism and the carceral state. The wave of uprisings that swept the nation and globe represent part of a long struggle of anti-racist organizing--one that can be traced back hundreds of years.
