- Class Notes:
- The goal of this course is to build an understanding of century-long and twisted relations between two East-Slavic people - the Russians and the Ukrainians. In this course we will learn in details about the controversial coexistence of two neighboring people beginning from the prehistory and the creation of the 1st united East-Slavic statehood named Kievan Rus, and ending with a full-scale ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. Knowledge and understanding of the ups and downs in Russian-Ukrainian relations for more than a thousand years, their challenges, labyrinths and often paradoxes will make it possible to explain the historical non-coincidence of the current bloodiest and largest conflict in the Post-Soviet space, which has already led to a global catastrophe and complete breakdown the world order that existed after the end of the World War II. Instead of providing an all-encompassing overview of both Russian and Ukrainian history from early Middle Ages up to this day, this course is focused through a detailed examination of a series of the key topics and events. Topics include: prehistory; the rise and decline of Kievan Rus; separate history of Ukrainians and Russians in the 14th - mid 17th centuries; the Ukrainian national liberation revolution and the beginning of Moscow expansion to the west; Russia and Ukraine in 18th century; Ukraine between the two empires at the end of 18th to the beginning of 20th centuries; the World War 1 and its consequences for Russia and Ukraine; Ukraine between the Soviet Union and Poland in the 1920s - 1930s; the Russians and the Ukrainians through the prism of the World War II; Russian and Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republics since 1945 till the collapse of the USSR; Russian Federation and independent Ukraine on the way to the full-scale war: events, stages, perspectives.

- Class Notes:
- This course will take as its point of departure an exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts entitled "Power and Beauty in China's Last Dynasty: Concept and Design by Robert Wilson. We will be interested in the objects themselves, as well as the ways in which the avant-garde artist Robert Wilson makes use of them to create a work of contemporary art. We will address a number of issues, including the uses of the past in constructing the present; the ways in which Wilson imagines the Qing dynasty. We will read articles on the exhibit; we will watch videos of work by Wilson, and we'll read two books, one on the Qing dynasty and one about the politics of collecting Chinese art. You will be required to post your reactions to works of art and to readings at several points during the course. The final assignment will be a short review of the exhibit https://new.artsmia.org/power-and-beauty/

- Class Notes:
- The Presidency, Politics and Policy http://classinfo.umn.edu/?lindqust+HIST3000+Fall2016
- Class Description:
- This political history course explores the emergence, meaning, and evolution of the American presidency. Three major questions will animate our historical examination of the presidency. First,what are the powers of the president, how and why have those powers changed overtime, how have presidents exercised their power, and how has the reality and image of presidential power shaped the nation and the world? Second, how as the nation's changing political landscape shaped the American presidency and how have politics and American political parties impacted the presidency? Third, how have presidents shaped policy, what is the relationship between power, politics, and policy, how have Presidents used power and politics to advance or derail policies?
We embark on this historical journey at an exciting moment in the nation's history, during the 2016 presidential election season. When the course begins, we will be in the final weeks of the campaign season. By the course's midpoint, the nation will have elected a new president. Students will be strongly encouraged to pay close attention to how the presidential contenders, reporters, pundits, and the public invoke history and prior races and presidents to contextualize the current race, candidacies, and election of the nation's next president as well as how the candidates themselves invoke history to situate themselves in American history.
