HIST 222 - US Immigration History (US) An examination of the history of immigration and migration in the United States; we will not only consider movements across national borders, but we will also take up the more expansive history of movements – both free and coerced – across all kinds of space. We will center our examination on the 1860s to the present, the period in which the demarcation and policing of national borders came to define what it meant to be a “modern” nation state. Just as we will consider the rise and solidification of efforts to police borders, we will also consider the entangled lives and relationships that were built across and in the space between borders. As we consider the United States’ history as both a nation of immigrants and a gatekeeping nation, the categories of race, gender, sexuality, and class will be at the center of our interrogation.

HIST 345 - New Deal and Modern America (US) A survey of the social and political history of the “long New Deal”. The long New Deal refers to the period of United States history from the election of President Roosevelt in 1932 to the election of President Eisenhower in 1952. Across this time period, the people of the United States lived through the crises of economic catastrophe, global war, reconversion from total war, and the Cold War’s beginning. American society then, as now, was divided and stratified along fractures of race, class, gender, sexuality, physical ability, geographic location, and political ideology. The American people did not experience or respond to the crises and
transformations of this era in a unitary fashion. Nor did they share a single vision of how the United States government should steer the country through this era of uncertainty and into the future. Our course will examine how, across this prolonged period of crisis, different Americans thought up and fought to implement different configurations of the relationship between citizen, state, and society. In our course we will repeatedly return to the possibilities, limits, unexpected consequences, and contradictions of these varied efforts to reshape American society. (US)
