First-Year Seminar
	FS 024 PZ -Diversity, Equity, and Inequities Institution: Pitzer College Description: This course will examine questions surrounding ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality and consider how this diversity has been challenged or accepted in the United States. Students will analyze contemporary and historical issues and explore questions of social justice as they read a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts. In discussions and compositions, students will consider the ways that culture and social structures shape the Pitzer experience, as well as imagining their own roles in transforming society. This course is the designated First-Year Seminar for students in the International Scholars Program and is open to non-native English speakers only.

History
	ANTH 098 PZ -Palestine and Israel: the Ongoing Crisis & the Plausible Path to a Just Peace Institution: Pitzer Description: This course starts by examining key concepts in debates about Palestine and Israel, notably bias, peoples, participation, and statehood. The course then examines both the history of the crisis and the uses of historical representations to prop up the the current political and social order of Israel and Palestine. In contrast with most received narratives, we find the making of the crisis primarily in the shaping of ethnic conflict and ethno-national state-making by partition under British colonial rule–not in timeless enmities. The course is also concerned to understand why the status quo of the present is at once so violently oppressive for Palestinians and yet something many Jewish Israelis and their state accept. We also look at the crucial role of the US in maintaining, funding, and arming the status quo - and how that may be changing. In the final section of the course, we identify plausible futures for Palestine-Israel, and consider how a globally dispersed social justice movement can support the Palestinian struggle for equality and freedom - and thereby foster a positive or just peace for all persons in Palestine and Israel. Prerequisite(s): Please check the current course schedule for requirements.

	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. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.

	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 CH -Introduction to Chicanx and Latinx History Institution: Pomona Description: For course info, please see Pomona College catalog.

	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 -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.

	HIST 035 PZ -History of the Middle East, 600-1500 AD Institution: Pitzer Description: This course covers Middle Eastern history from the generation or so before the Prophet Muhammad, to the era immediately following the death of Tamerlane (Timur). It is not a history of Islam, although Islam is an important part of the history of this region, and we shall pay most attention to the rise, spread, and cultural flowering of this great civilization. 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 036 PZ -History of Modern Middle East Institution: Pitzer Description: The Modern Middle East is one of the most important regions in today’s world. This course begins with the 18th century Middle East and its increasing encounter with the West. We will study the social and political grounds behind the demise of the Ottoman Empire and its consequences for the future development of the region. After exploring how Western expansion and imperialism affected the domestic development of countries in the region, we transition to the Middle East since World War I, examining the emergence of nationalism and nation-states, the origins and future of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the role of ethnic and religious minorities in political affairs. We then analyze the rise of political Islam, the Middle East since 9/11, and US presence in the region. We will conclude by exploring the recent popular protests in the Arab world and their implications for the fate of the region in the 21st century. Along the way, we ask questions such as these: How did increasing interactions with the West and emerging global trade since the 18th century influence the social and political structures of countries such as Egypt, Turkey, and Iran? Why did nationalism and state formation differ from country to country in the region? And finally, what are the historical and intellectual origins of recent waves of popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa? Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.

	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 053 PZ -Minorities in the Middle East Institution: Pitzer Description: In public discourse the Middle East is often depicted as a homogenous region defined by “Islam” and “Arabs,” neglecting the importance of diverse ethnic, religious and other minorities. The aim of this course is to examine the lives, struggles, and achievements of different minorities in the region. We will discuss ideas, conflicts, and treaties that have been shaping interactions between diverse communities since the early 19th century. Along the way we will explore phenomena such as the development and collapse of the Millat System in the Ottoman Empire, the Sunni-Shia divide, and the mounting repression against LGBTQ communities across the region. 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 055 PZ -Popular Protests and the Making of the Modern Middle East, 1840s - Present Institution: Pitzer Description: Who are the makers of the Modern Middle East that we know of as such today? Is this region solely a product of Imperialist intervention and authoritarian modernizers like Atatürk, Reza Khan, and Gamal Abdel Nasser? In this course we will move beyond the traditional top-down view and investigate the lasting impact of numerous revolutionary movements that transformed societies in the region since the mid nineteenth century. These movements include the Babi Movement (1840s) and Constitutional Revolution (1905) in Iran, the Urabi Revolt (1880s), the 1919 nationalist mobilization in Egypt, and countless student, women, labor, and minority movements ever since. 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 057 PZ -The United States in the Middle East, 1800 - Present Institution: Pitzer Description: For over a century the relationship between the United States and nations of the Middle East was defined by mutual benefit and positive collaboration, especially in the fields of healthcare and education. Whereas the people of the region recognized Europeans as colonial invaders, they viewed America in a very positive light. However, these positive perceptions gave way to a more negative view of the US since the mid-20th century. To understand this radical shift, we will study and discuss events, ideas, and doctrines that have shaped the interactions between these countries since the mid-19th century. 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 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 -Queering the Medievial? Institution: Pitzer Description: What was holiness in the pre-modern Mediterranean and Europe? What made someone a saint rather than a heretic or a witch? How did bodies, genders, sexuality, and asexuality shape these roles over time? This course examines changing relationships between sanctity and the body in the Mediterranean and Europe from the waning days of the Roman Empire to 1550 C.E. Through accounts of people either praised as holy or condemned as heretics, we will explore the possibilities of gender roles and gender fluidity, attitudes toward body and love, and the parameters of the medieval third gender. Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.

	HIST 083 PZ -Introduction to the History of Science Institution: Pitzer Description: This course surveys the history of science as a field, covering the major works, questions and trends that have characterized it over the past half century or so. Subjects we will examine include (but are not limited to) the history of scientific objectivity, Eugenics, the Scientific Revolution, gender and science, science and colonialism, scientific racism, positivism, Islamic science, and the social construction of knowledge. We will sample some seminal primary sources, but the focus will be on the historiography of science– the stories people have told about science, its importance, its meaning, and its development. 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 084 PZ -History of Science. from Islam to the West Institution: Pitzer Description: We shall consider the history of science, from earliest pre-scientific times, to the origins of science in the ancient Greek context, and trace the scientific tradition through the Graeco-Roman period, then through Islamic civilization, discuss social factors, institutions, and larger historical processes that impinged on the practice of science. Factors involved in the translation and transmission of scientific knowledge will be discuessed, both from Greek into Arabic, and from Arabic into Latin. 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 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.

	HIST 098 PZ -Palestine and Israel: the Ongoing Crisis & the Plausible Path to a Just Peace Institution: Pitzer Description: This course starts by examining key concepts in debates about Palestine and Israel, notably bias, peoples, participation, and statehood. The course then examines both the history of the crisis and the uses of historical representations to prop up the the current political and social order of Israel and Palestine. In contrast with most received narratives, we find the making of the crisis primarily in the shaping of ethnic conflict and ethno-national state-making by partition under British colonial rule–not in timeless enmities. The course is also concerned to understand why the status quo of the present is at once so violently oppressive for Palestinians and yet something many Jewish Israelis and their state accept. We also look at the crucial role of the US in maintaining, funding, and arming the status quo - and how that may be changing. In the final section of the course, we identify plausible futures for Palestine-Israel, and consider how a globally dispersed social justice movement can support the Palestinian struggle for equality and freedom - and thereby foster a positive or just peace for all persons in Palestine and Israel.

	HIST 112 PZ -Energy & Humanity: Past, Present & Future Institution: Pitzer Description: This course starts by examining the energy regime of mobile-foraging, sedentary-farming, and industrial models of livelihood, as these modes of livelihood are found distributed across the earth and through human time, starting some 100,000 years ago. The second section of the course looks at the perils of fossil fuels and nuclear energy, which have been the bases of humanity’s startling new relationship to energy and energy consumption beginning in the early 1800s; it also asks whether shifting from these energy sources to energy sources that are sustainable and humane will require shifting to a non-growth (i.e., a non-capitalist) economy. And too, this section of the course challenges students to investigate how each College in the consortium is a “complicit institution” in the current inhumane energy regime. For the final section of the course, students must carefully plan and initiate an activist intervention that addresses and redresses the perils of fossil fuels and/or nuclear energy. Students who choose interventions that raise legal issues will be required to show they understand and have prepared for any such consequences; only non-violent interventions will be approved. 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 116 PZ -The Transatlantic History of the Harlem Renaissance Institution: Pitzer Description: The Harlem Renaissance is understood to be a flowering of literature, song, music, poetry, and intellectual thought produced by African-Americans during the decade of 1919-1929. This course will extend the historical needle back to the roots of the Harlem Renaissance - the first Pan-African Conference in 1900 held in London and organized by W.E.B. Du Bois and Anna Julia Copper. Leading figures like these would usher in the world, mood, and tone of the Harlem Renaissance that included a Transatlantic network with African-Americans who had left the United States for Paris to escape the bondage of prejudice. 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 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 130 PZ -History of Economic Thought Institution: Pitzer Description: This course will trace the development of economic theory from the pre-classical period (mercantilists, cameralists, physiocrats), through the classical school (Smith, Malthus, Ricardo, J. S. Mill), to the critiques of classical political economy (Karl Marx), through the Marginal Revolution (Walras, Menger), to John Maynard Keynes, and beyond (e.g., Milton Friedman). As mush as possible, we will read these works in the context of the spaces and times in which they were conceived. Even as we digest these economic theorists, we will also reflect on larger questions about the historical development of the capitalist system–its preconditions, challenges and constraints.
