CRIT APPRO-STUDY OF ETH & RACE

This course provides an introduction to central approaches and concepts animating the investigation of race and ethnicity. We will not treat either of these categories of difference as a given, nor as separable from other axes of social difference. Rather, we will apply an interdisciplinary and intersectional framework to illuminate how these concepts have come to emerge and cohere within a number of familiar and less familiar socio-cultural and historical contexts. We will consider how racial and ethnic differentiation as fraught but powerful processes have bolstered global labor regimes and imperial expansion projects; parsed, managed, and regulated populations; governed sexed and gendered logics of subject and social formation; and finally, opened and constrained axes of self-understanding, political organization, and social belonging. Special attention will be given to broadening students' understanding of racial and ethnic differentiation beyond examinations of identity. Taken together, theoretical and empirical readings, discussions, and outside film screenings will prepare students for further coursework in race and ethnic studies, as well as fields such as literary studies, women’s studies, history, sociology, and anthropology.

INTRO TO BYZANTINE HISTORY

This course is an introduction to one of the great medieval empires of western Eurasia, the Eastern Roman or ‘Byzantine’ Empire, from the 4th to the 15th century. Lectures will provide (1) an overview of Byzantine political, social, economic, and cultural history; and (2) exposure to the types of primary sources and approaches which historians use to reconstruct that history. Discussion sections will focus on readings in primary sources in order to provide a hands-on understanding of aspects of the material covered in lectures, but also to problematize it. The mid-term and final examinations will test students’ familiarity with and ability to think critically about Byzantine historical sources and history. The two papers will each develop an original thesis about Byzantine history based on a primary source. [Two lectures and one discussion section per week.]
