- HIST 3425 - Queer American History
-
While terms like gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and intersex have relatively recent origins, the contemporary LGBTQ+ community has deep historical roots in America. Spanning from the seventeenth century to the present, this course explores the past experiences of individuals and groups who would be categorized today under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. It examines the long history of protest and political action that sexual minorities have undertaken in pursuit of civil rights and social justice, as well as the consistent legal and cultural backlash that has accompanied LGBTQ+ visibility. As we shift our focus from decade to decade, we will observe the ever-evolving ideas about what was "natural" and "normal" when it came to gender and sexual identity, and we will consider the many social forces shaping popular opinion on sexual matters (e.g. the press, lawmakers, scientists, religious figures, authors, filmmakers, etc.). Throughout the semester we will examine queer history within an intersectional framework; that is to say, we will contemplate the wide array of identities that constituted our subjects' lived experiences, including race, ethnicity, nationality, class, gender, sex, sexual orientation, religion, and region. As we shall see, there has not been one uniform queer experience in the United States. Rather, there are countless factors that have shaped the lives of queer Americans throughout the centuries. This class will give students an opportunity to learn about some of these experiences, and to consider the methods that historians might use to uncover those queer histories that have yet to be told.

"Christians, Muslims, and Jews in the Early Modern Mediterranean."
The early modern Mediterranean was home to an array of individuals who mediated political, cultural, religious, and linguistic boundaries. This course examines the intermediaries—including diplomats, interpreters, merchants, pilgrims, slaves, and religious converts—who facilitated contact between the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish societies on the Mediterranean’s three shores.
Using disciplinary approaches derived from history, art history, and literature, we will explore the characters, spaces, and mechanisms of cultural mediation. Throughout the semester we will address two central questions: when did intermediaries erode religious, ethnic, linguistic, and political boundaries and when did they work to harden those boundaries? What can the study of early modern Mediterranean intermediaries tell us about the mechanisms of cultural mediation in other times and places?

Alexander the Great may have only lived to the ripe old age of 32, but the impact of his life and deeds resonated throughout the centuries following his death. Using Alexander as a focus, we will explore the many ways he was perceived as a man, general, and even hero in the ancient and medieval worlds. In this class we will read the traditional lives of Alexander, the story of his godhood, mythic tales of adventure and invention, as well as consider artistic, archaeological, and numismatic sources. Together, we will discover not just the historical Alexander (whoever that may be)—but also the influence of his legacy on the thought and ideology of medieval Europe and Asia.
