	HIST 011 PZ -The World Since 1492 Institution: Pitzer Description: This course explores the last 500 years of world history. In examining this large expanse of time, the focus is on four closely related themes: (1) struggles between Europeans and colonized peoples, (2) the global formation of capitalist economies and industrialization, (3) the formation of modern states, and (4) the formation of the tastes, disciplines and dispositions of bourgeois society.

	HIST 012 PZ -History of the Human Sciences Institution: Pitzer Description: (Formerly HIST22 History of the Discilpines) The social and behavioral sciences-economics, sociology, political science, anthropology and psychology- structure our experience so completely that we sometimes take them for granted. The great division of intellectual labor that these “human sciences” represent can seem so natural and so logical, that it is sometimes hard to imagine a world without them. But these disciplines did not always exist. In exploring their histories, we simultaneously ask about the contingency of our world and about how it might be different. It is a history of the present. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements. Formerly: HIST 022 PZ For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
	HIST 013 PO -Holy War in Early Christianity and Islam Institution: Pomona Description: For course info, please see Pomona College catalog. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements. For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
	HIST 016 PZ -Environmental History Institution: Pitzer Description: For some, environmental history recounts humanity’s long encounter with nature; for others, it is the changing story of the land itself; for still others, it is an account of humanity’s changing ideas about nature and wilderness. In this course we will familiarize ourselves with all of these approaches. The course, which is global in scope, surveys materials from the past five centuries. Major themes include: the history of globalization and industrialization, ecological imperialism, the history of ecology, the idea of wilderness, science and environment and global environmental change. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements. For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.

	HIST 017 PZ -History and Political Economy of Natural Resources Institution: Pitzer Description: This course surveys the modern history and political economy of natural resources. Though we will focus on gold, diamonds and oil, the course also addresses larger issues of resource exploitation within specific historical, political and economic settings. We begin with the so-called “scramble for Africa,” when European nations carved up Africa between them at the Berlin Conference in 1885. This scramble for Africa and its resources was later extended to other regions of the non-western world, such as the Middle East. The course will then explore the role of natural resources in internal and global conflicts, from the colonial to the post-colonial periods, focusing on how those conflicts played themselves out in Africa and the Middle East. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements. Cross-listing: IIS 017 PZ For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
	HIST 018 PZ -Prisons, Parks and the Legacies of Colonialism Institution: Pitzer Description: The legacies of colonialism in Africa are inscribed on the buildings and landscapes that colonizers left behind. The parks that shelter endangered species today were once the hunting grounds of British and French imperialists; the slave depots of earlier days became the prisons of the modern period. This is in an interdisciplinary, team-taught course that combines the approaches of history and political economy. We will be paying special attention to both “built” and “wild” environments, while bearing in mind that the latter can be just as constructed as the former. We use a number of approaches to compare confinement and conservation across continents: historical case studies, political economic theories, economic development policies, prison architecture, zoo policies, nature films, and safari brochures. We aim to examine present-day landscapes and prison complexes through the comparative lenses of history and political economy. For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal. Please check course schedule for requirements.
	HIST 020 PZ -Human Histories: Onset to 1500ish Institution: Pitzer Description: This course offers a variety of human histories from the onset of human existence up to 1500ish. Topics include: the distinctiveness of humans as a species, and evidence for this over the course of the late Paleolithic; histories of agriculture, and of major food crops and their movements over time; environmental impacts of diverse human settlements; social inequalities and state formations, and resistance to both; world religious traditions; and cultural differentiation. The course is global in perspective by virtue of (a) its attention to connections (or flows) between dispersed geographic sties, and (b) its use of cross-cultural comparisons. Fundamental to the course is a rejection of the distinction between humans (and human times) without history and humans (and human times) with history. Cross-listing: ANTH020 PZ For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal. Please check course schedule for requirements.
	HIST 024 PZ -A History of Modern Africa Institution: Pitzer Description: To understand Africa as it exists today, one must be able to place current issues within the broader historical trends that have dominated the continent’s past. Accordingly, this course will provide an introduction to the history of modern Sub-Saharan Africa from the build-up to European conquest in the late nineteenth century, through colonization and decolonization to issues facing Africans today. Themes to be explored include: African societies and cultures on the eve of conquest; European imperial ideologies, explorers, and missionaries; African resistance against-and collaboration with-colonial projects; strategies of colonial rule; colonial education; cash-cropping and famine; African workers in colonial cities; gender, sexuality, and family life; health and healing; race, class and citizenship; nationalism and decolonization; post-independence economic crises and “development”; conflict and globalization.

	HIST 045 PZ -West African History through Novels and Film Institution: Pitzer Description: West Africa is a region with a rich, fascinating, though often tumultuous history. Legendary medieval empires, Islam, and Christianity, slavery and the slave trade, colonial rule, the formation of nation-states, and crises of war and poverty-these episodes have all shaped the historical experiences of West Africans. Fortunately for those studying West Africa today, this history has been captured with quite extraordinary skill by its novelists and filmmakers. Men and women such as Chinua Achebe, Buchi Emecheta, and Ousmane Sembene have greatly enriched our understanding of the region through their art. This course, therefore, will examine the history of West Africa through novels and films. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.

	HIST 064 PZ -Travel and Encounter, 1200-1800 Institution: Pitzer Description: Through accounts by merchants, missionaries, explorers, soldiers and captives, this course explores changing relations between European and peoples from the world beyond Europe, from 1200 to 1800. These narratives of encounter reveal evolving European attitudes and ideas about themselves, non-European cultures, civilization, nature and colonization through themes including religion, economy, sexuality, freedom and cannibalism. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements. For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
	HIST 066 PZ -Oral History: Methodology and Practice Institution: Pitzer Description: This course explores how scholars have used oral history methodologies to reconstruct the pasts of communities and individuals who are not frequently represented in typical historical sources. The gathering of oral histories-from women, freed slaves, colonized people, gays and lesbians, and other disadvantaged groups-has thus resulted in new understandings of historical processes. Not only will students be introduced to oral history methodologies, but they will also design and conduct oral history projects. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements. For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
	HIST 068 PZ -Prison Autobiography Institution: Pitzer Description: It is commonplace that history is written by the victors, that the voices of the marginalized are silenced, and that, in the words of Philip Guedalla, “History repeats itself. Historians repeat each other.” There have been notable attempts, many notable attempts, to represent the unrepresented. (Howard Zinn’s People’s History being among the most obvious of these.) Too often missing, however, are the sources, and so historians struggle about how to give voice to the voiceless. This course, part of a larger project, aims to build from the bottom up. It is an exercise in self-conscious source creation. Assuming that inmates in the California prison system have things to say- and they do- and that their voices rae under-represented- and they are- we plan to group Pitzer students with inmates. The goal: begin crafting untold narratives together, as a collaborative enterprise. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements. For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
	HIST 073 PZ -The Problem with Profit Institution: Pitzer Description: As capitalism emerged in Europe (ca. 1150-1600), this controversial idea and the actual accumulation of wealth in communities provoked many responses. This course begins by exploring theories about the development of capitalism. It then examines theological and political debates involving wealth and profit, the social groups who supported or condemned capitalism and cultural responses to inequalities of wealth. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements. For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
	HIST 074 PZ -Holiness, Heresy and the Body Institution: Pitzer Description: What was holiness to pre-modern Europe? How was it expressed physically? What made someone a saint rather than a heretic or a witch? How did the relationship between sanctity and the body change in Europe from waning days of the Roman Empire to 1600 C.E.? What are the connections between such people and the evolution of Christianity in Europe? In order to answer these questions, we will study people either praised as holy or condemned as heretics and how their contemporaries figured out the difference. We will examine the significance of gender, attitudes toward body and mind, charisma, social status, and relationships to supernatural or divine powers. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements. Note(s): RLST Majors: HRT II, CWS For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
	HIST 089 PZ -The Sixties Institution: Pitzer Description: This course will examine the now much mythologized period of American history known as “the sixties.” It will inevitably deal with the sordid history of “sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll,” as well as histories of revolting youth. But just as importantly, the course will be driven by three theoretical questions. First, what is the relationship between the political activism of bourgeois youth in the “the sixties” and ritualized processes of social reproduction, experienced as the transition from “childhood” to “adulthood”? Second, what is the relationship between the leftist politics of “the sixties” and the historical formation of professional managerial classes in U.S. and world history? And third, how do singular events-such as the decade’s iconic assassination of President John F. Kennedy-articulate with cultural schemas? Prerequisite(s): HIST 021 PZ/ANTH 021 PZ or concurrent enrollment in HIST 021 PZ/ANTH 021 PZ. Please also check the current course schedule for requirements. Cross-listing: ANTH 089 PZ For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
	HIST 098 PZ -The Modern State and History: the Israeli Case Institution: Pitzer Description: This seminar examines relationships between the Israeli state and historical remembering, particularly in regard to four moments: (i) the reported exile following the Bar Kokhba revolt of the second century, (ii) the Holocaust, (iii) the establishment of the Israeli state, and (iv) the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. The seminar’s examination of the Israeli state’s relationship to historical remembering is preceded by consideration of (i) the scholarly literature on the social construction of races, nations, and peoples, and (ii) debates about the desirability of “neutrality” and “balance” in courses on controversial, potentially incendiary topics (such as this course, obviously). Materials used in the course include films (such as, “A Film Unfinished,” “Paradise Now,” and “Gatekeeepers”), as well as readings by such figures as Nadia Abu El-Haj, Rashid Khalidi, Amos Oz, Edward Said, and Shlomo Sand. The seminar concludes by considering what the Israeli case tells us more generally about modern states and historical remembering. Prerequisite(s): HIST 011 PZ/ANTH 011 PZ or (in exceptional cases) permission of the instructor. Please also check the current course schedule for requirements.

	HIST 118 PZ -Teaching U.S. History: Practicum Institution: Pitzer Description: This course will examine both the politics and practice of United States history teaching. It will explore how the California State standards for U.S. history came to be and the sometimes problematic classroom relation between history and “social studies.” In the first half of the course, students will attend lectures and examine primary documents related to the period 1929-1945. In the second half of the course, students will prepare for and serve an intensive internship in a Pomona high school history classroom, including preparation and presentation of one lesson plan on the period we’ve studied. Prerequisite(s): A prior college-level course in U.S. history (such as HIST 025 PZ/HIST 026 PZ) is desirable, but not required. Please also check the current course schedule for requirements. For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
	HIST 122 PZ -Religion & the Founding Fathers Institution: Pitzer Description: Were the Founding Fathers God-fearing Christians or Enlightenment deists? Consequently, should America be a religious or secular nation? The extent to which we inhabit a Christian nation is one of the most ubiquitous (and shrill) debates in contemporary American politics. Central to this debate is the religious (or not-so religious) intentions behind our so-called Founding Fathers, and their plans for our nation’s religious establishment. For some, the Founders were pious and devout men intent on constructing an explicitly Christian nation; for others, they were borderline atheists who envisioned a strict separation of church and state. The historical reality is much more complex than either side readily admits. Burdened by anachronism and oversimplification, this debate is in dire need of thoughtful historical exploration from several angles. This is the work we will perform in this course. We will not only examine and contextualize the complex, conflicting, and often changing views of the Founders themselves, but we will also trace the evolution of this debate from the Revolution to the present. How and why has the struggle over religion in politics taken the form that it has? What, if anything, are the Founders’ relevance for the present?

	HIST 132 PZ -Marx in Context Institution: Pitzer Description: Despite his lasting importance as a social critic and political thinker, Karl Marx is rarely appreciated as an observer of his own world. In this course, we will read Marx in the context of nineteenth-century Europe. As a working journalist, Marx was intimately familiar with the great movements and upheavals of his time. We follow him from the quiet German towns and idealist philosophy of his youth, to the great revolutionary metropolis of mid-century Paris, to the blaring factories of industrial Manchester and up through the unification of Germany. We will use Marx’s writings to make sense of that world, while, at the same time, attention to the history of nineteenth-century Europe will help us interpret his writings. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements. For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
	HIST 136 PZ -A History of the Police State Institution: Pitzer Description: There are many ways to explore the history of the police state, and this course offers only one of them. Beginning with Michel Foucault, we explore the conceptual foundations of the police state, concentrating especially on its development during the 18th century. From there we move successively eastward in space and forward through time, exploring the subject through histories, novels, diaries, and autobiographical accounts. We are all comfortable with the idea that certain repressive, despotic regimes were (and are) police states. The more uncomfortable question is what the United States shares with places like Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. It is a complicated question, one with many possible answers; its solution lies in the past. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.

	HIST 138 PZ -Seeking Human Nature: The History and Science of Innateness. Institution: Pitzer Description: “Human nature” has long been invoked to understand and justify our behaviors.

	HIST 142 PZ -Slavery and Slave Trading in Africa and Beyond Institution: Pitzer Description: Most people associate the word “slavery” with the enslavement and forced migration of African people to the Americas in the early modern era. Though this course does not overlook the momentous nature of this development in world history-and will thus examine it in detail-it also seeks to broaden our knowledge of slavery and slave trading by treating them as worldwide phenomena that date back to the classical age and remain with us still today. Accordingly, this course will consider: the definition of slavery and other forms of servile labor; the institutions and experiences of slavery in diverse historical contexts, especially in Africa and South Asia; why Africans were traded as slaves to the Americas and how this trade affected culture and society in Africa; and, lastly, the continuation of human trafficking in the modern world after the supposed “end of slavery.” Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.

	HIST 152 PZ -Down and Out: The Great Depression, 1929-1941 Institution: Pitzer Description: The economic depression triggered by the stock market crash of 1929 was no fluke-it had been building in the global economy ever since World War I. Yet, when it came, it descended on Americans with a peculiar swiftness and with a severity that was relieved only by a second world war.

Is non-state political violence aberrant or fundamental in American history?

	HIST 188 PZ -Anxiety in the Age of Reason Institution: Pitzer Description: Many enlightenment authors expressed confidence in the relentless progress of knowledge, but they also exuded skepticism and unease about reason.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz worried that the specter of infinite time might eliminate the need for God; David Hume doubted the necessity of cause and effect; Immanuel Kant limited reason to make way for faith. Each of these writers used reason to question the religious and metaphysical foundations of knowledge. But reason also created its own fears.
