Imperial America 1898-Now

This course examines the assertion of US power from the conquest of the Philippines to the "global war on terror." What are the causes and consequences of America's cultural, political, military, and economic empires? Has the US been a force for democracy and freedom, as its leaders have claimed, or has it more often acted in opposition to self-determination and human rights?

ST- World War Stories

An inquiry into the modern representation of war, this course focuses on a variety of conflicts, with particular attention to recent wars where "the whole world was watching." We examine a variety of media: photography, film, poetry, memoir, and fiction, as well as testimony and documentaries. Knowing what happened, and why, is the goal of any serious student of history, yet the first practical step -- and the one to be emphasized in this course -- is to learn the language through which history is spoken. No prerequisites.
