HISTORY ADVISING

Have you ever wanted to talk to a faculty member about whether to major or minor in history? Do

you have questions about our honours program? Are you wondering what you might do with a history

degree or about what history classes you should take this summer or next year? Maybe you have

questions about how history classes might prepare you for a career in law, education, journalism,

library science, or other fields.

The good news is that we are here to help!

Send an email to [email protected] and we will set up an appointment for you.

Note: If you have questions about College distribution requirements, or about the specific number or

type of courses you need to complete your degree, you should address those to a professional

adviser in the Undergraduate Office (Arts 265).

Some things to ask your advisor:

Has my program suitable breadth and depth?

Does it fit my educational and vocational goals?

What are the opportunities for learning outside of the classroom?

Honours: How should I select my courses?

Honours and Double Honours: How do I meet the Honours colloquium requirement?

Will my course selection prepare me for graduate work in History? for Law? for Education?

What can I do with a history degree?

The “History Matters” courses are designed with three goals in mind: to introduce you to some of the most cutting-edge themes, topics, and historical methods in the discipline today; to connect the past with the present, showing you how to use historical analysis to grasp the complexity of today’s world; and to give you skills you can use in any career. Above all, you will learn how to develop arguments based on solid research and sound evidence and to communicate those arguments clearly and concisely.

These courses are generally taught by regular full-time faculty doing research in the very topics they will cover in class. We think you will find their passion for the material contagious and invite you to join us in our exploration of why history matters!

Practical Notes History Matters courses meet for two hours of lecture per week. Students must also register for a separately scheduled one- hour small group seminar when they register for the course. When registering for a History Matters course, make sure to select the SECTION of the course that most interests you. The instructor and the content varies from section to section! History majors must take 6 cu of HIST at the 100-level to complete their program. In addition, they make take an additional 3 cu of History at the 100 level as an elective under Requirement 7. To take a 200 level history course, students need only 3 cu of HIST at the 100 level (or 30 cu of University level courses. This means, for example, that a first-year student could conceivably take a 200 level history course in the second term.

HIST 115 ― History Matters: Ideas and Culture

HIST 115.3 (T1) Race, Racisms and Anti-Racisms in the Modern World MW 10:30-11:20 (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) Maurice Labelle

This course unearths the various ways in which ideas of “race” have influenced inter-cultural relations in the world during the modern era (c. 1800 to the present). Throughout the term, we will examine: 1) the many, interconnected contexts in which “modern” definitions of “race” were constructed; 2) how perceptions of racial difference engendered cultural prejudices that produced grossly unequal political relationships between communities; and 3) the ensuing formations of local, national, and global networks that sought to transcend imagined differences by forming a common cause that denounced the power of “race,” along with its racialized ways of seeing and structures. Topical coverage will span all corners of the globe, including Britain, the United States, Egypt, the Sudan, France, India, Brazil, Algeria, Germany, Japan, Israel/Palestine, Cuba, South Africa, and Canada. Particular attention, furthermore, will be given to the roles of transnational movements and international organizations.

HIST 115.3 (T1)

Exploring Modern European Thought and Culture, 1789 – 1918

T 6:00-7:50 (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) Mark Meyers

This section of HIST 115 will introduce students to the discipline of history by exploring how key developments in modern European thought and culture related to the historical contexts in which they emerged. It begins in the late eighteenth century with a look at how Enlightenment ideas shaped the French Revolution, along with modern notions of freedom and human rights. It explores modern political ideologies such as liberalism, conservatism, and socialism, and examines their impact on the history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Major artistic and literary movements such as romanticism, realism, impressionism, and surrealism receive attention too, as do shifts in how thinkers have understood the relationship between self and society, between men and women, and between Europe and the wider world. Key contexts include the rise of modern industry, technology, and bureaucracy; the development of nationalism and colonialism; and the emergence of “total” war.

HIST 115.3 (T2) The Vikings: History and Myth MW 9:30-10:20 (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) Courtnay Konshuh The Viking Age is popularly marked by the violent outburst of attacks upon monastic sites in western Europe at the end of the eighth century and by the death of a major Norwegian king in 1066. This course addresses the extent to which Scandinavian influence in Europe during the ‘Viking Age’ can be characterised by the violence of such activities and the resultant accommodation to social and political change. While we explore such issues as the reasons for the origins of Viking activities, the responses to those activities, interactions between communities and the longer-term changes as new societies emerged in the areas settled by the Vikings, we will also look at the Viking legacy, as seen in fiction, film and national movements.

HIST 125 ― History Matters: Indigenous, Colonial and Post-Colonial Histories HIST 125.3 (T2) Indigenous Colonial History M/W 2:30-3:20pm (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) Glenn Iceton This courses examines the peoples and processes shaping indigenous societies, their imperial rulers, and the postcolonial experience. Topics will range from local case studies of First Nations to broader histories of European imperial expansion and national independence movements. The problems of identity, power and policy are at the forefront of these investigations, emphasizing the ways that communities accepted, resisted or transformed colonial agendas. Courses will also foreground variations among colonizing projects, and responses to them, in different eras. The course will emphasize how historians have understood different practices of colonization and their relationship to political, economic and social change.

HIST 145 ― History Matters: War, Violence, and Politics

HIST 145.3 (T1) The Great War in Canadian History and Memory M 6:00-7:50 (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) Keith Carlson The Great War was a tragic conflict, claiming the lives of 60,000 Canadians and physically and mentally scaring countless many more. In Canada, immediately after the guns fell silent, competing interpretations emerged to explain the war – and in so doing, to envision Canada’s future. These lessons included certain people (and certain ways of remembering or forgetting) while they exclude others. This course will include special 100th anniversary commemorative content.

HIST 155 ― History Matters: Science and Environment HIST 155.3 (T1) The History of Magic in the West MW 8:30-9:20 (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) Frank Klaassen The practice of magic has been a consistent feature of Western Society from the middle ages to the present. Studying the history of its practice, how it was conceptualized, and its relationships with the intellectual and religious status quo reveals a Western history quite different from the conventional one. The course will examine various and changing examples of the practice of magic and how these were understood by the societies in which produced them. It will also examine the way in which the concepts of magic or superstition were (and continue to be) employed to condemn and exclude, but also to provide spaces for ideal or utopian worlds. Finally, it will examine conventional narratives of western history, such as the idea that western society has undergone a process of disenchantment.

HIST 155 (T2) Colonization and the History of North America MW 10:30-11:20 (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) Andrew Watson

This course explores the ecological consequences of European colonial expansion in North America from the late 15th to the early 20th century. The course explores the standard stories of global imperialism from alternative perspectives. Military, political, and social histories of the spread of powerful empires only tell part of the story. This course will consider the role that non-human actors, such as microbes, animals, and plants played in the processes of colonization. It will ask how contrasting understandings of the natural world and human relationships with the land contributed to the dispossession of Indigenous peoples. By introducing new perspectives on the expansion of Europeans in North America this course is intended to introduce students to major themes in the environmental history of North America. Students will examine key topics in a variety of contexts, including epidemic disease, the fur trade, novel species introductions, property, and the rise of global capitalism.

HIST 165 ― History Matters: Health and Society HIST 165.3 (T1) History of Health and Disease TR 11:30-12:20 (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) Simonne Horwitz This section of HIST165 introduces students to the history of health and medicine in both the developed and developing world. We will look at different concepts of health and disease around the world as well as indigenous medicine. Then we will trace the development of medical ideas from early anatomy through medical specialization, experimentation and scientific developments to examine how contemporary medical ideas have continued to shape and be shaped by cultural

attitudes concerning issues of power, gender and identity. This course will look at ‘great’ discoveries and pioneering individuals, but also explore the social and cultural history of medicine. We will consider, for example, how developments in medicine have affected patients; how gender has shaped the professionalization of medicine and medical technology; how race has been addressed in the evolution of public health; and, how the interaction between medicine and culture continues to influence our ideas about health and disease.

HIST 165.3 (T2) History of Science and Medicine: From the Black Death to Breaking Bad

TR 11:30–12:20 (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) Karissa Patton

Tracing the evolution of ideas in western medicine from early anatomy through medical specialization, education, experimentation and the development of scientific technology, we will examine how contemporary medical ideas have continued to shape cultural attitudes concerning issues of power, health, and justice in our society.

HIST 175 ― History Matters: Identities and Communities in Transition

HIST 175.3 (T1) National Identity and Cultural Diversity in Canada MW 12:30-1:20 (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) Ashleigh Androsoff This History Matters course focuses on how national identities have responded to and been shaped by cultural diversity in Canada from 1600 to present day. We will consider the development of localized colonial identities (Canadian and Acadian) in New France in the seventeenth century, and the effects of British conquest and immigration on those identities in the eighteenth century. We will also consider the imposition of British identity in the Pacific region during the nineteenth century, along with the development of Métis identities in the Northwest. We will examine Canada’s efforts to attract or exclude immigrants, as well as immigrants’ responses to those efforts in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Finally, we will analyze various attempts to define and assert a distinctive Canadian identity throughout the post-Confederation period, concluding with the federal government’s adoption of multiculturalism as a national policy. HIST 175.3 (T2) Exploring the Silk Road MW 11:30-12:20 (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) George Keyworth This course provides an investigation of the Silk Road (or roads), which is where Chinese, Indian, and “western” civilizations have met from prehistory to the present. Archaeological excavations conducted during the 19th and 20th centuries reveal astounding evidence of a rich exchange of ideas, religion, politics, languages, and technology between the Chinese and nearly all of their neighbors to the west.

HIST 185 ― History Matters: Conflict, Law, Politics and the State HIST 185.3 (T1) Law, Crime, and Violence in Pre-Modern England MW 9:30-10:20 (plus a one-hour, separately scheduled seminar) Sharon Wright This course is a social history of law, crime and violence in Anglo-Saxon, Medieval and Early Tudor England. Through close reading of cases and historical sources you will learn about early English criminal law. Topics will include: feud; systems of vengeance; communal law; trial by ordeal and battle; development of the jury; negligence, nuisance, and defamation; felonies such as homicide, rape and treason; violence and gender; punishment and the use of incarceration.

200-level senior lecture courses normally consist of three lecture hours per week and are designed to expose students in more detail to a geographic, temporal or thematic subfield of history. Students will examine in greater detail the evidence, historical debates, and interpretations associated with the subject area, and will refine their practice of historical research and writing in a variety of written of assignments including essays. In 200-level lecture courses students may also engage in informal class discussions or group work.

Prerequisites

In order to register in a 200-level history class students must have completed 3 credit units of history at the 100 level or 30 credit units of university.

HIST 202.3 (T1) Formation of Europe 300 to 1000 TR 10:00-11:20 Courtnay Konshuh

A history of the West from the Christianization of the Roman Empire in the fourth century to the foundation of the Holy Roman Empire in the tenth century.

HIST 208.3 (T1) The Roman Republic: Growth of a Mediterranean State 753 to 27 BCE TR 8:30-9:50 Instructor TBD This course examines the early history of ancient Rome and its domination of the ancient Mediterranean world, chronologically spanning the foundation of Rome in 753 BCE to the end of the Republic at the Battle of Actium in 30BCE. Two overarching questions will shape our investigation: what internal and external factors allowed Rome to extend its empire first over Italy and then over the Mediterranean basin? Why did the government of Rome by the SPQR - senate and people of Rome – the system called the Republic- ultimately fail and fall to civil war and monarchy established by Julius Caesar and his successors? HIST 209.3 (T2) The Roman Empire: Politics, Society, and Culture from Augustus to Constantine TR 10:00-11:20 Angela Kalinowski This course examines Rome under the rule of emperors, its chronological frame extending from circa 27 BCE to the time of Constantine in the 4th c CE. The first part of the course focuses on the establishment monarchy – the rule of emperors- at Rome during the age of Augustus and the Julio-

Claudians, since many features of imperial rule were fixed in this time, such as the emperor’s relations with the senate, the role of the members of the imperial household in the management of power, the nature of imperial patronage, and the diffusion of the imperial image. We will then turn to examine the effects of empire on the ruled at Rome and in the provinces, focusing on issues such Roman military and administrative presence in the provinces, economic exploitation, and the diffusion of Roman style spectacles and religious cult.

HIST 214.3 (T2) History in Film W 6:00-8:50 Sharon Wright

This is a survey of various film portrayals of historical individuals and culture. Popular ideas about the past are largely a creation of fiction writers' and film directors' depictions of the past. This course focuses on historical figures and their representation in primary sources, literature, and film. In this context, we consider several broad themes, including historicity and authenticity, contemporary appropriations of past ideals or ideologies. Through the study of primary source texts and related films, we will explore the many interpretations of past culture and the ways in which historical ideas, figures and events have been used as commentaries on modern issues.

HIST 221.3 (T1) Sub-Roman Anglo Saxon and Viking Britain 400 to 1066 TR 2:30-3:50 Courtnay Konshuh

This course examines the period from the departure of the Romans through to the coming of the Normans. It was an epoch that saw the gradual conversion of the peoples of the British Isles to Christianity and (with the exception of Ireland) the redrawing of the ethnic and political map of the islands. The following three centuries from 800 to 1100 A.D., from the Vikings incursions of the ninth century through to the Norman Conquest of England were a highly formative period in the history of the Isles, witnessing the emergence of England and Scotland as identifiable political entities.

HIST 222.3 (T2) Medieval England 1000 to 1500 TR 2:30-3:50 Sharon Wright

Beginning in the long twelfth century with the Norman Conquest of England, through to the early fifteenth century, this course provides an integrated history of England in the medieval period. Examining in detail the issues of community and social binds, economic change, population change, disease, political structures, ecclesiastical structure and political upheaval, students will gain a foundational understanding of the process of conquest, the expansion of art and of a written culture, the impact of warfare; also the relationships between lords and labourers; development of trade and urbanization, the development of the common law and parliament, and the relationships between Britain, Ireland, Wales and the continent.

HIST 223.3 (T2) Age of the Renaissance TR 1:00-2:20 Frank Klaassen This course introduces the student to world of Western Europe in the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries. It covers the major developments in the period: the Renaissance and Reformation, the development of centralized monarchies, and the start of the Scientific Revolution. In addition, it examines topics such as magic and witchcraft and their relationship to

HIST 273.3 (T1) Ancient Medicine M 6:00-8:50 Kyle McLeister This course will introduce students to the full spectrum of Greco-Roman medical practices, from the healing rituals of the cult of Asclepius to the rational medicine of Hippocrates and Galen. Special attention will be given to the social dimension of ancient medicine, including medical ethics, the social status of doctors and their patients, and the role of women, both as patients, whose anatomical differences from men were thought to necessitate an entirely separate branch of medicine (i.e. gynecology), and as midwives, an important but often overlooked group of medical practitioners. After tracing the development of ancient medicine from the earliest evidence for Greek concepts of health and disease through to the flourishing of Greek medicine at the height of the Roman Empire, this course will conclude by examining the continuing influence of Greco-Roman medicine throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

HIST 274.3 (T1) A History of the United States to 1865 TR 10:00-11:20 Geoff Cunfer

This lecture course examines many of the significant social, economic, environmental, political, diplomatic and military developments in American history, from the pre-colonial period to 1865. It focusses on several important historical topics including: Native American cultures; the European background of American settlement; the establishment of colonies and development of an American nationality; the American Revolution; the formation of the Union; and the struggle to maintain it leading up to the Civil War.

HIST 283.3 (T1) Society and Rise of Science from the Renaissance to the Industrial Revolution W 6:00-8:50 Fedir Razumenko

This course focuses on the development of science in the context of social, political and intellectual change between the Renaissance and the end of the l8th century. Special attention will be paid to the Copernican Revolution, renaissance technology, the tension between science and religion, and the early Industrial Revolution. HIST 284.3 (T2) Society and the Rise of Science from the Industrial Revolution to the 20th Century W 6:00-8:50 Dimity Zakharov This class introduces students to the history of science. The course begins with how industrialization transformed the history of Western Europe in the eighteenth century. This was a century of revolutions; rapid growth in scientific knowledge and public engagement. From this arose a demand for order in the language by which nature was to be described, in systems of classification in chemistry and biology, and the emergence of concepts of universal law. The discovery of change and time in the natural world led to revolution and evolution in biology, a desire to define and describe physical forces, and eventually notions of biological inheritance. The political and psychological implications of theories of generation will be examined as part of the emergence of evolution and race. The course also explores the nineteenth century shift of European intellectuals through principles of Relativity to Uncertainty and delves into the twentieth century to explain the political demands of science and the factors which have turned science into an expression of society.

HIST 286.3 (T2) Modern China from the Qing Dynasty to the Present TR 2:30-3:50 Gary Luk

We consider how the expansion and decline of the Qing Empire affected the movement of people,

as well as the Qing’s dramatic clash with European Imperialism. We explore the socio-political structures and conception of imperial power during the Qing era along with patterns of semi-colonialism. We also pay attention to the formation of influential social movements in China such as nationalism, Marxism and feminism. Students familiarize themselves with various Chinese

intellectuals, too, looking especially at how they analyzed and debated women’s issues. We examine Maoist China, focusing especially on how the relationship between revolution and modernization connected it to a wider global context. Finally, we examine how global forces such as imperialism (both Japanese and European) and Soviet Socialism have shaped not only Chinese history, but also the meaning of culture during the Cultural Revolution as well as the contours of post-Mao politics and social life.

HIST 292.3 (T1) The Menace of Progress I: Enlightenment Colonialism Dispossession TR 1:00-2:20 Jim Handy This course explores the process of, reasons for, and arguments about European colonialism from the 16th to the mid-20th centuries. It links European colonialism to changes in Europe itself, most especially ideas of progress linked to the Enlightenment and capitalist relations of production. The dispossession of marginalized populations in Europe, and the rationales used for such dispossession, are compared to rationales for colonialism and colonial dispossession. The violence of colonial dispossession in various locales in Latin America, Africa and Asia, and heightened racism are explored as is the trend towards a focus on colonial 'development' in the 20th century.

HIST 293.3 (T2) The Menace of Progress II: The Promise and Failure of Development TR 1:00-2:20 Simonne Horwitz This course examines the promise and ultimate failure of development. Stemming from the dismantling of colonial empires and the creation of an infrastructure to manage the international economy near the end of Second World War, 'development' promised to end or dramatically reduce poverty around the world. Development policies ultimately failed to meet those goals and were replaced by neo- liberalism and arguments about good governance by the end of the 20th century. This course explores the idea of development and suggests the difficulties encountered in living up to its promises lie in its basic premises. The course explores this history through an examination of post-independent Africa, Asia and Latin America.

300-level courses are hybrid courses which combine lecture and seminar discussion. Students will continue to refine their skills in the practice of historical research and interpretation and writing. Students are also required to come to class prepared to discuss critically assigned readings with their classmates. Students may also be required to do short oral presentations. The practice of historical research and writing will be demonstrated in a major essay. The subject areas on offer are more specialized than 200-level lectures.

Prerequisites

In order to register in 300-level history courses, students must have completed 3 credit units of 200-level history. History majors, double majors and honours students are strongly advised to register on the first

day of the registration period to which they are assigned.

HIST 315.3 (T2) Indigenous Health History M 6:00-8:50 Ashleigh Androsoff

In this course, we will focus primarily on the multiple physical, mental, and spiritual health risks First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples have faced as a direct result of European exploration, missionization, trade, and colonization from 1492 to present day. We will consider Indigenous teachings and practices related to health and wellness both before and after European contact. We will also consider how new disease epidemics, poverty, food insecurity, the delivery (or withholding) of Western-style medical care, and institutionalization in schools and hospitals affected Indigenous peoples’ health status over time.

HIST 335.3 (T2) Spectacles of Death in the Roman World W 9:30-12:20 Angela Kalinowski

Ridley Scott’s film Gladiator (2000) brought the bloodlust of the Roman arena to a 21st century audience. The film appears to confirm that the Romans, especially emperors and the plebeian masses, were a cruel and bloodthirsty lot. Trained killers- gladiators- slaughtered innocent victims, or savage lions mauled and devoured them, all for the pleasure of the Roman people. This course takes a critical look at the varied deadly activities (munera, venationes, damnatio ad bestias), held in the Roman arena by examining ancient textual and visual sources, and modern scholarship. We will examine these spectacles in the broader context of Roman performance culture, religion and politics. Were these spectacles merely the product of a debased and declining culture? How has modern scholarship understood the apparent madness of the Roman arena?

CLAS and CMRS courses may also be counted as History Credits. See the section towards the end

of the handbook for these courses.

HIST 350.3 (T1)

The War that Shaped a Continent: The Seven Years War and the Conquest of Canada M 1:30-4:20 Robert Englebert

The British conquest of 1759-1763 assessed primarily in terms of its effect upon French Canadian society. Historical interpretations of this central event in Canadian history will form the core of study.

HIST 353.3 (T2) Pests, Plagues, Pox and Politics: A History of Health Care in Canada TR 11:30-12:50 Lesley Biggs

This course explores the history of health care in Canada from the pre-contact period to the establishment of universal health insurance (Medicare). The focus of this course is on the politics of health care (who provides what care, to whom, and under what circumstances). This course will examine the provision of health care as it emerged from local forms of knowledge within various communities to professional knowledge delivered in private and public institutions. In addition, the course will examine the relationships among and between government, non-governmental and/or professional responses to infectious or acute diseases and their impact on various populations in Canada.

HIST 365.3 (T1) Recipes for a Nation: Food History in Canada TR 1:00-3:50 Cheryl Troupe

This course offers students the opportunity to engage with a newly emerging field of historical scholarship: food history. Food, its production, marketing, preparation and consumption is the product of particular societies and cultural practices and, ultimately, food has a history. Drawing upon the recent international and national literature this class offers a social and cultural history of Canada through food. Employing the traditional analytical categories of social history (race, gender, class and nation/region) provides us with the tools to understand the expansion of food products and commercialization; the growth of fast food empires; immigration and "ethnic" cuisine, the gendered dynamics of the kitchen, the farmyard and the grocery store; food safety and social justice; and now, most recently, our fascination with sustainability, organic foods and so-called '100 mile diets.'

HIST 375.3 (T2)

USA Foreign Relations 1890 to the Present

F 9:30am-12:20pm

Frank Kusch

In the post 9/11 period, interest in the study of American foreign relations has continued to increase. This hybrid lecture/seminar course examines the history and historiography of U.S. foreign relations from the 1890s to the present. While the emphasis is on diplomatic history, the course also considers the political, economic, cultural, and social implications of American foreign policies in the United States and the wider world.

HIST 383.3 (T1) Scientific Revolution from Newton to Darwin T 1:00-3:50 Fedir Razumenko The scientific and philosophical discovery of the laws of nature from the period of Newton to Darwin. Emphasis will be given to the status of science, the growth of experiment, the relationship between science and technology, and the decline of the mystical view of nature in the 18th and 19th centuries HIST 396.3 (T2) Digital History T 10:00-12:50 Jim Clifford Digital history, the application of new and emerging technologies to the study of history, is an exciting new historical methodology. In this course, we explore the literature on digital history, and then put theory into practice by digitally collecting, evaluating, and producing historical knowledge. Along with discussing what is digital history and how it is evolving, this course will introduce students to text mining, geographic information systems (GIS) and developing historical websites. How digital archives are changing how we preserve and research history. Students will get hands-on experience with a wide range of digital skills and use these new methods to develop a final digital history project. HIST 397.3 (T2) Approaches to History M 9:30-12:20 Benjamin Hoy

How should (and how do) historians approach their scholarship, and how has this changed in recent generations? This course engages a range of methodological, philosophical, and historiographical readings drawn from a comprehensive survey of topical, thematic, and theoretical fields, collectively aimed at encouraging students to think about the process and methods of doing history. Note: HIST 397.3 is required for the Honours and Double Honours programs.

400-level courses are seminars which meet in a single three- hour period once per week. They are considered History Honours courses and therefore expect a very high level of engagement from all students. In subject matter they are often closely tied to a professor’s research area. Often class periods are devoted to in-depth class discussion of assigned readings in which students will demonstrate their grasp of historical debates, methods and evidence. The practice of historical research and writing will be demonstrated in a major research paper. Students may also be required to present orally their major research papers and engage in critiques of classmates’ work.

Prerequisites

In order to register in a 400-level history course, students must have completed 6 credit units of senior history of which 3 credit units must be 300-level, or obtain permission of the professor or the department. History majors, double majors and honours students are strongly advised to register on the first day of the

registration period to which they are assigned

HIST 403.3 (T1) Early Medieval England

T 6:00-8:50 Courtnay Konshuh

Designed to introduce honours history students (not necessarily specialists in the area) to the primary sources and historiography of Anglo-Saxon England. Given the scarcity of contemporary documentary evidence for large portions of this period, it is important for students to become familiar with non-documentary primary sources. Such sources include those revealed by archaeology, numismatics, and art history. Scholars must learn to use these sources in their efforts to understand the existing documentary sources and place them in a wider historical context

HIST 410.3 (T1) France in the Americas: 1500 to 1803 in Search of Empire R 10:00-12:50 Robert Englebert

This course examines the history of French colonialism in the Americas from the first explorers and settlements to the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Weekly readings and seminar discussions explore a variety of historical themes designed to critically evaluate the French colonial experience and analyze the character of the French Empire in the Americas. Such themes include native-

newcomer relations, empire and conquest, religion, slavery, women and gender, métissage, commerce, and the French in North America after the fall of New France. The French had a profound influence on the Americas, from the Maritimes to the Canadian Northwest, and as far south as New Orleans and the Caribbean. This class puts the Spanish, American, and British North American (Canadian) Empires into context, and sets a foundation for understanding the English/French divide in contemporary Canada and the rise of the Métis in Western Canada.

CLAS and CMRS courses may also be counted as History Credits. See the section towards the end

HIST 430.3 (T2) Gender and Sexuality in Western Canada W 12:30-3:20 Ashleigh Androsoff

In this seminar course, we will consider how social, political, economic, and environmental conditions particular to northwestern North America (territory now known as British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) have affected the perception and construction of gender roles and intimate relations in indigenous and settler communities, from the 18th to the 20th century. We will use primary sources in an effort to uncover and understand how Plains and Pacific peoples defined male, female, and genderqueer identities, as well as how they viewed short- and long-term sexual relations. We will also consider recent historiography on this subject in an effort to understand how exploration, trade, colonization, immigration, labour, and social activism have influenced Western Canadian expressions of gender identity and sexuality over time.

HIST 434.3 (T2) Fascism, Gender, and Sexuality M 1:30-4:20 Mark Meyers

Explores how assumptions about gender and sexuality shaped fascist movements in Germany, Italy, and France. How did fascists define masculinity and femininity? How did those definitions shape fascist ideals and policies? How did sexuality and race intersect with the delineation of gender roles for men and women?

HIST 467.6 (T1T2) Saskatoon History Workshop R 1:00-3:50 Jim Clifford; Andrew Watson

This experiential learning course introduces students to scholarship relevant to the study of Saskatoon’s history, and provides an opportunity to carry out research in local archives. During the class, students will spend time outside of the classroom to walk the landscape and learn from community partners. The course builds towards the completion of a major research project by blending seminar discussion with key methodological and research approaches related to life in and around Saskatoon in the past. The course includes workshops to teach the methods and sources available to study the history of Saskatoon, produce high-quality scholarship, and connect their work with wider public audiences.

HIST 472.3 (T1) The United States and the Middle East M 1:30-4:20 Maurice Labelle

This seminar course examines American foreign policies in the Middle East during and after the Cold War. More specifically, it focusses on U.S. relations with nations such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, the Palestinian National Authority, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. While the emphasis is on the political, diplomatic, strategic and economic aspects of these relations, the course also studies the cultural dimensions of U.S. policies.

United States and Vietnam Wars

F 9:30am-12:20pm

Frank Kusch

Examines key political, military, social, and cultural themes related to the American experience in Vietnam from World War Two until the fall of Saigon.

HIST 498.3 (T2) An Unlikely Grimoire: Reginald Scot’s Discoverie of Witchcraft T 6:00-8:50 Frank Klaassen

The Murray Library at the University of Saskatchewan holds a curious treasure: a mid seventeenth-century edition of Reginald Scot’s Discoverie of Witchcraft. First published in 1583, Scot’s work has been regarded as an important work in the growth of modern science and scepticism because it denounced belief in magic as deluded superstition. As a result this book was used as a sourcebook for magic practise and even as a kind of Catholic primer for people who missed the old religion. Students will work directly with our copy of the seventeenth-century grimoire edition to develop a public display that will be mounted in the Murray Library at the end of the term. The task for the class will be to thoroughly research various aspects of the book and its historical context.

If you are an Honours/ Double-Honours student you MUST register for HIST 494.0

HIST 494.0 (T2) Michael Swan Honours Colloquium Undergraduate Director (Simonne Horwitz)

Oral presentation of a historical paper at a one-day conference of Honours students to be held in January at the Diefenbaker Centre. The presentation is normally based on a paper already prepared, or in preparation, for a third- or fourth-year seminar course.

CMRS 111.3 (T2) Medieval and Renaissance Civilization MWF 10:30-11:20 Courtnay Konshuh

An introduction to the civilization of the European Middle Ages and Renaissance through the lens of literature, philosophy, art, and other sources.

CMRS 333.3 (T1) Exploring Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts W 6:00-8:50 Frank Klaassen Introduces the student to basic elements in the study of manuscripts. The greatest portion of the course will involve guided transcription, annotation, and analysis of manuscripts relevant to the research of the instructor. The texts in question will never have been edited and thus represent entirely original research. In part it will also involve learning about methods such as context function analysis, provenance research, and historical bibliography. Although this will be done initially through lectures, the experience of confronting pre-modern manuscripts first- hand in all of their richness will form the backbone of the course.

CMRS 398.3 (T1) Using Big Science for the Study of Material Culture R 1:00-4:00 Tracene Harvey

This is a joint-course between Chemistry (CHEM 398) and Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance Studies (CMRS 398). The study of material culture has grown, in response to developments in technology, to include scientific tools and methods to help answer questions that cannot be answered with traditional humanities approaches alone. On a more familiar level, this has resulted in the burgeoning field of digital humanities; this course represents a significant development in this direction.

CMRS, Classics, Latin, and Greek

Nota Bene: All Classics second year and above (except CLAS 203) and fourth-year

Latin and Greek courses may be counted as History credits to a limit of 12 cu’s in 4-Year

CMRS 399.6 (T1T2) (Cross listed with ENG 399.6)

Introduction to Old Icelandic Language and Literature

MWF 12:30-1:20pm

Richard Harris

The more sensational aspects of Viking activity in the eighth to eleventh centuries have left their distorted mark in folk memory: drunken psychopathic killers in horned helmets wielding damascened and poisoned swords, wreaking rape and pillage across more civilized parts of Europe. Much that was good about them is neglected: their feats of engineering and navigation, their commercial ability, their robust astuteness in administering societies which came under their rule. Their complex corpus of skaldic verse; the vast collection of classical Icelandic sagas, at once colourful and subtle, based on their oral tradition; numerous archaeological treasures found in distant corners of the world: all these attest to a dynamic and sophisticated civilization, traces of which can be found from L’Anse aux Meadows to Istanbul. In this course we will be concerned with the Vikings’ expressions of their literary impulses as well as their cultural impact upon those they met in the lands to which they came, especially in the British Isles, but also in Byzantium, early Russia, and North America. The first half of the course will be devoted to the acquisition of skills in reading the Old Icelandic language, the second half to the literature, some to be studied in the original, but larger portions in translation. The pursuit of individual research interests will be encouraged, along with exploration of opportunities to visit Iceland in educational programs.

CMRS 401.3 (T1) CMRS Texts and Themes R 10:00-12:20 Sarah Powrie

Many aspects of medieval and renaissance culture had their roots in the Greco-Roman Classical period. Detailed study of a selected text or theme and related scholarship aims to deepen understanding of cultural continuity and change between the three periods. Texts and themes will change yearly. Please consult CMRS homepage: http://www.artsandscience.usask.ca/cmrs/.

CMRS 402.3 (T2) CMRS Directed Research Yin Liu

A directed research course wherein students in biweekly meetings with a supervisor and a class seminar will develop skills required for graduate study: preparation of annotated bibliography, research proposal, major research paper and oral presentation. Projects will be focused on the classical, medieval or renaissance period.

CMRS 403.3 (T2) Analysis and Public Exhibition of Cultural Artifacts Tracene Harvey

Independent study of a particular cultural artifact or artifact type, culminating in the public presentation of an exhibit in the Museum of Antiquities. Includes practical experience as a volunteer in the Museum

HIST 125.3 (01) History Matters: Indigenous, Colonial and Post- colonial Histories MTWTF 1:30-3:50 CRN: 41013 Carling Beninger

Courses in this series examine the peoples and processes shaping indigenous societies, their imperial rulers, and the postcolonial experience. Topics will range from local case studies of First Nations to broader histories of European imperial expansion and national independence movements. The problems of identity, power and policy are at the forefront of these investigations, emphasizing the ways that communities accepted, resisted or transformed colonial agendas. Courses will also foreground variations among colonizing projects, and responses to them, in different eras. Examples of course foci include Britain and British Empires since Caesar, the Arab Spring, the scramble for Africa, aboriginal activism in Canada, USA, and Australia, a global history of slavery, perspectives on community and sovereignty in North America, and colonial Latin America. All courses will emphasize how historians have understood different practices of colonization and their relationship to political, economic and social change.

HIST 155.3 (01) History Matters: Science and Environment MTWRF 1:30-3:50 CRN: 60807 Fedir Razumenko Courses in this series examine the history and conceptualization of science, the cosmos, or the environment and their relationships to society and culture. The term science is understood broadly to include not only modern science but pre-modern and non-western approaches to understanding and manipulating the natural world. Historians focus on the human history of the environment, with a particular attention to the ever-changing relationship between societies and their ecosystems. Possible areas of exploration might include: the scientific revolution; North-American environmental history; global commodities, imperialism and the environment; and science, magic, and rationality. With reference to historical examples, these courses will seek to nuance concepts such as ‘science’, ‘rationality’, and ‘nature’ and also to examine broad conventional historical narratives such as ‘disenchantment’, ‘enlightenment’, ‘industrialization’ or ‘globalization’.

HIST 165.3 (03) History Matters: Health and Society MTWRF 1:30-3:50 CRN: 60947 Dimity Zakharov Courses in this series examine how historians have understood the complex relationship between health, society, and historical change. Health is used as a vehicle for understanding political, social and cultural change throughout history. Topics range from antiquity the birth of Galenic healing through western and non-western traditions that have guided our understandings of bodies, pain, gender, and power and into the modern era of health and medicine with the rise of professional medicine, ethics, experimentation and institutionalized healing. Health is widely defined to capture experiences that fall outside the traditional doctor-patient relationship, and to explore issues including: mental health; the politics of healthcare; health economies; the health professions; disease’s power to shape human history. These courses rely on a variety of sources: food and nutrition, to medical treatises, patient narratives, activist and anti-medical establishment texts, artwork, and institutional reports, and a rich historical tradition of examining health and medicine and its influence on human history. Possible areas of exploration include: madness; the body; pain; health and disease.
