TOPIC: "Conversion and Identity: Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages" Description: This seminar will examine processes connected with the concept of "conversion" across Afroeurasia in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. In recent decades, the notion of religious conversion as a single transformative act has come to be challenged as historically and socially constructed; conversion is more often considered within a broader framework of social and political transition. In this seminar we will study the multiplicity and mutability of religious identities along a continuum of change. We will engage with some major issues in premodern history including christianization and the spread of Islam; language and ethnic identity; kingdoms and communities; and the archaeology of religious identities. Although we will focus on the spread of Christianity, we will also consider mission and conversion in Judaism and Islam. The seminar will entail substantive weekly readings and discussion, usually led by students. The last few weeks of class will focus on case studies based on students' particular interests. The seminar is intended for graduate students but is open to advanced undergraduates with permission of the instructor. Students will be expected to use foreign language sources when appropriate.

Reformation Europe and the World

This course is intended to expose the student to a broad range of readings (both primary and secondary) in the field of early modern religion, primarily in the European context but also with attention to global developments. Chronologically we will be moving from the fifteenth through the early eighteenth century. Though our primary focus will of course be religion, the course is intended to introduce students to a broad range of themes in the study of early modern world. Throughout the course students will be encouraged to use their language skills both for the weekly seminars and in the research of specific paper topics.

HIST 5/8900 Topics in European History: "Modern Political Revolutions:


Political Contention and Global Historical Transformations"


Course description:

With the publication in 1962 of The Age of Revolution: 1789-1848 Eric Hobsbawm took the history of revolutions in new directions by connecting political revolutions with economic transformation. Hobsbawm also anticipated more recent developments in global history by suggesting connections between revolutionary ideas and events in Europe and contemporaneous or subsequent revolutions elsewhere in the world - in the Americas and beyond. Starting with a global reframing of "the age of revolutions" this course will focus on select revolutionary moments from the late-18th century to the early-21st century that hold particular significance in terms of global dynamics. We examine a continuum of political movements and processes that resulted in transfers of power over states, such as the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution. But we will not limit ourselves to "successful" revolutions; we will also include cases where revolutionary situations did not result directly in regime change, such as the 1848-49 revolts in Europe. We will do common readings on particular cases and also examine various theoretical/conceptual frameworks and methodological approaches for analyzing revolutions. In addition, each student will undertake a project addressing selected dimensions of a particular revolution or revolutions

Class Description:
Sexuality is one of the most intriguing topics in modern history and critical studies. This class will use sexuality in modern Europe as a jumping off point to explore debates about how to understand sexuality in the past, and indeed how to write history. Although the focus is Europe, we will consider the interactions of Europeans and colonized people in the context of imperialism: sexuality was a flashpoint in these intimate clashes, such as the conquest of Mexico by the Spanish, and the response of Arab and Persian nationalists to Western orientalism and modernity. We will also consider moments at which historians argue that sexuality became modern: was it the 18th century, with changes in biological ideas of gender, and indeed orgasm? Was it the late nineteenth century, with the invention of "homosexuality" and "heterosexuality"? This class will also explore the times when sexuality became intertwined in the great issues of the twentieth century, such as socialism and fascism. Students will mainly write short essays and a long historiographical paper, but they can choose to write a research paper instead for the long paper.

Class Description:
In this seminar we will explore the crucial role of the crusades in the development of Muslim-Christian relations and Mediterranean societies. While the crusades are often studied solely as an aspect of European history, we will attempt instead to open up a broader perspective on a movement that brought peoples from Iceland to Inner Asia together in complex sets of relations that crossed multiple borders of pre-modern belief and belonging. Pursuing this new approach will entail serious engagement with non-European perspectives and with fields of inquiry -- such as Mediterranean and Near Eastern Studies -- that traditionally have stood outside the purview of crusades history. Particular areas of focus will include: the multi-confessional and multi-ethnic Middle East in the age of the crusades; the development of ideologies of religious difference in the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish traditions, with special reference to holy war; and the legacy of the crusades in modern inter-religious relations, from the nineteenth-century European colonial period to the present. Class meetings will alternate between group discussions of common readings and in-class presentations of individually assigned readings.
