HIST 383 - Modern Iraq
Iraq is a pivotal country in recent Middle Eastern history and as regards U.S. foreign relations and war-making in the region. Iraq’s difficult and fascinating history has reflected some of the most enduring problems of the modern Middle East and provides ample room for their study, including problematic colonial foundations; social inequality and uneven development; oil and foreign intervention; militaristic authoritarianism; and sectarianism and national fragmentation. Moreover, since the 1980s the U.S. has become increasingly entangled with Iraq, at great cost to both parties, backing it in one war and then invading it in two others. This is critical ground both for the study of U.S. relations with the Middle East and the Muslim world and for thinking about the U.S. role in the world more generally.

HIST 450 - Climate and Culture in America
The course will look at significant episodes of what the historian Raymond Williams calls the ‘human history’ of nature and will explain that different communities and groups in American society have considered climate and weather differently at different times. These cultural articulations have reflected very real differences in relations with the physical environment, but also differences in social and political relations – some of which do more to obscure – and certainly to complicate – than illuminate what is actually happening with the climate and the weather. A history of the relationship between climate, ideas about climate, and larger cultural developments in American culture will provide students an opportunity to do the kind of comparative and historical analysis that will contribute to an understanding of contemporary preoccupations with climate and climate change.
