- Class Description:
- ?Modern Political Revolutions: Political Contention and Global Historical Transformations? 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 later 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 mid-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 Taiping Rebellion or the 1848-49 revolts in Europe. The first half of the semester will be devoted to common reading and development of frameworks for analyzing revolutions. In the second half, each student will do a research project addressing selected dimensions of a particular revolution. In addition, the student research project should involve some element of tracking specific global flows ? of ideas, people, processes, or political practices ? that connected the revolutionary movement to other event across the globe or across time.

- http://classinfo.umn.edu/?chambers+HIST4010V+Fall2016 Encounters in Early America
- Class Description:
Beginning in 1492, peoples from the continents of Europe, Africa and America began to encounter each other across the Americas, setting off centuries of confrontation and adaptation, cultural clashes and cultural mixing, enslavement and resistance. Histories of these encounters were dominated for decades by the European perspective, but scholars have been increasingly seeking new sources and methods to uncover and interpret the perspectives and actions of Native peoples and Africans. In addition to written narratives in European languages, they have analyzed sources in Native languages, visual representations, and material culture. In this seminar, we will explore some of these approaches and sources together through topics such as first contact, military conflict, mapping, religion, and culture. Then you will have the opportunity to write a research paper on a topic of your choice on the theme of encounters in the early Americas. (You may also choose a theme related to early modern encounters elsewhere in the globe.) Although most of the papers will likely focus on the 15th to the 18th centuries, "first" encounters have continued and you may propose any paper that fits within the theme. Our seminar will take advantage of the excellent primary sources available in the James Ford Bell Library, and you will have the option of using a source/sources from that collection for your research.

- SEMINAR TITLE: Climate Change in History
- Class Description:
- Weather affects each of us every day. Philosophers, e.g. John Searle, categorize weather as a brute fact?it is what it is regardless of how we think about it. Climate, by contract, is a construct we create as we pull together information about weather. The content of the course begins with a discussion regarding how we conceptualize climate and how throughout the history of the West we understand climate either from a classificatory (making sense of patterns) or practical (will I get wet today) perspective. For example, scholars such as Isidore of Seville (d. 635) discuss climate in regard to understanding patterns, while farmers react to climate by denoting particular months for planting crops of various types. There will also be a discussion of the relation between climate and weather. Students will write several short papers examining what scholars say about climate. For example, what is the consensus view by specialists regarding the pre-history of the Minnesota "space" in regard to its climate history. Another short paper will deal with the way in which scholars treat glaciers as providing information regarding climate in historical times. Yet another paper will treat how climate change, e.g. the cold period during the third through early sixth century manifested itself in Europe. One good example is the migration of Angles, Saxons, and Jutes from the North Sea coast which was flooded to Britain. Most of the information that students will need for small papers can be found on line or from journals that can be accessed on line through sites such as JASTOR. Tern papers of about 20 pages in length with be on topics such as "How did farmers adjust to climate change by altering the agricultural calendar?" What impact did climate change have on war? What impact did climate change on exploration? Of course, all papers will be specifically focused on particular time periods and geographical locations so as to make the research possible in the relative short period of time of a semester. This research will be undertaken in both primary sources, e.g. the records of the flood of the Nile, agricultural calendars, chronicles and other such sources that are available in English translation.

- SEMINAR TITLE: Revolutions in Modern World History
- Class Description:
- ?Modern Political Revolutions: Political Contention and Global Historical Transformations? 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 later 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 mid-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 Taiping Rebellion or the 1848-49 revolts in Europe. The first half of the semester will be devoted to common reading and development of frameworks for analyzing revolutions. In the second half, each student will do a research project addressing selected dimensions of a particular revolution. In addition, the student research project should involve some element of tracking specific global flows ? of ideas, people, processes, or political practices ? that connected the revolutionary movement to other event across the globe or across time.
