Topic: Indigenous Histories: North America and Hawaiʻi Indigenous history is one of the most dynamic fields in the academy. In this course we will read histories both old and new that represent different ways of conceiving what and who history is for, how history should be done, and to whom history is responsible. This course will emphasize Indigenous representations of the past. The course will include innovative recent work while also challenging us to take older works by Indigenous authors as texts we should engage with seriously.

American Colonialism and Indigenous Histories:
Colonialism, American Indian Studies, and indigenous studies have been, for the past twenty years, some of the most productive sites of scholarship in the humanities, including history. They are topics of study that demand by their very nature the bringing together of different fields of endeavor, different disciplines, and different questions. This semester we will be addressing a number of current literatures and questions: settler colonialism, questions of the intersection of discursive construction and material processes of domination (especially as regards land, sovereignty over land, and land alienation), gender and sexuality, performance and demands for/discourses of authenticity, religion, belief, spirituality, and missionization, and racialization and racial construction. In a number of cases, we will be approaching these issues through memory, textuality, book studies, literary history, archaeology, art history, and museum studies. These fields are all rich with productive ideas, which should make for provocative discussion across geographies and time periods. Of particular interest will be: what do these other fields have to offer the discipline of history, and what does the discipline of history bring to these other disciplines and interdisciplinary modes of analysis? This is a conversation that can bring us together on a common intellectual project, given the disparate graduate programs you come from as students.

This reading seminar in African American history offers an introduction to the major questions in African-American history from its beginnings, emancipation, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow to the Great Migrations, urbanization, rights movements, riots, and cultural and political debates of the late-twentieth century. We will analyze the African origins of black Americans; the world the slaves' made, the world of slave markets, and slave economies; and the continuities and discontinuities between the antebellum and postbellum freedom struggles. The first third of the course will examine the colonial and antebellum contexts. The remaining course readings are weighted towards the study of the period spanning from the first Reconstruction to the Second Reconstruction (1860-1980).

Who Should Take This Class?:
Graduate students and advanced undergraduates.

This graduate seminar explores the relationship between ideas about sexuality and religion over the course of United States history. We will also consider the ways in which religion has influenced sexual practice over time and examine how religious conceptions of sexual propriety and normativity have shaped American culture and politics. Finally, we will engage critical interdisciplinary scholarship that analyzes sexuality in relation to theories and histories of secularism. Students will be expected to read and discuss one monograph per week (or the equivalent), write weekly response papers, conduct one oral presentation, and produce a final written assignment based on original research or that critically examines major scholarship on course themes.

Class Description:
HISTORY THROUGH MEMOIR. This graduate seminar uses memoirs, non-fictional life stories narrated in the first person, as a lens into the past and, just as importantly, as a way to investigate and problematize what counts as history itself. The relationship between personal narratives and professionally produced histories is often fraught or confused, even though both can reasonably be understood as forms of creative non-fiction. Is the memoirist responsible to the historical record in the same way as an historian? Does the historian know how to assess and appreciate the power of personal memory? This course will examine abiding and often vexing concerns about truth-telling and story-telling, about emotional accuracy, factuality, and documentability, and about the role of individual memory in the writing of a larger social and political history. We will explore the gains and the limitations of using personal stories to understand past experience. Course material consists of books, essays, and a documentary film that reside at the intersection of personal experience and social and political history. Theoretical pieces that examine the blurred boundaries of history and memoir will help us to clarify what is at stake in the truth claims of each. In a number of short, reflective essays, students will bring theoretical approaches to bear on particular memoirs: how the memoir makes its truth claims, and what is compelling or unsettling about this particular rendition of the past. Students will also research and write an essay of non-fiction (8-12 pages) that retells but also contextualizes and interprets a personal memory. (It can be that of the student or of someone else). The point is to investigate the relationship between personal memory and verifiable historical fact, and to articulate what insights and challenges come with using personal memory as an historical source. STUDENTS FROM ALL DEPARTMENTS ARE WELCOME. PLEASE CONTACT INSTRUCTOR FOR A SYLLABUS, kfischer@umn.edu.

U.S. IMMIGRATION HISTORY Dreamers. H1-B visa holders. ?New? immigrants, ?old? immigrants, and ?undocumented? immigrants. International students. Border security. Migrant labor. Anti-immigrant movements. Deportation. Public Health, Assimilation. Activism. Transnational and diasporic identities. Immigration is at the center of dramatic changes in contemporary American society, but of course, immigration is nothing new, and the U.S. is just one of many countries around the world with histories of emigration and immigration. We live in a world in motion, and migration and its consequences are central topics of study for scholars in a multiple disciplines. This graduate seminar examines immigration to the U.S. beginning with the origins of the field and its evolution to encompass a broad range of topics, methodologies, and perspectives, including: immigration and settler colonialism, race, citizenship, gender and sexuality, law and politics, labor, international relations, refugee resettlement, human rights, and global/transnational/diasporic frameworks and identities, community-engaged research, oral history, and digital storytelling. We will read ?classics? as well as newly-published work that overlap with American Indian, African American, Chicano/Latino, and Asian American Studies. On the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Immigration Act, we'll consider the connections between historical and contemporary migrations and migration scholarship, exploring where the field has been and where it is going. We'll draw from resources at the Immigration History Research Center and Archives, the oldest and largest institution studying and preserving immigrant and refugee life in North America. We'll discuss research and writing strategies across a broad range of disciplines that make up the interdisciplinary field of U.S. migration studies.

Students will explore the politics of history by reading in American Indian, Hawaiian, and African American interventions on the meaning of colonialism and race. The course centers on cultural and intellectual history and politics, but because these are fields of inquiry that are best studied in broadly interdisciplinary ways, it incorporates readings in theory and cultural studies, as well as foundational documents by nineteenth-century American Indian, Hawaiian, and African American intellectuals.
