Introduction to Public History
The Long Age of Revolution, 1688-1861
This course challenges the often-used chronology of the Age of Revolution by introducing student to an earlier starting and later end. The course comparatively explores: the Glorious Revolution, American Revolution, French Revolution, Haitian Revolution, Spanish-American Independence, the Revolutions of 1830 (I utilize an innovative Atlantic approach here), the Revolutions of 1848, and the American Civil War.
American West(s)
Using an innovative comparative and transnational approach, the American West(s) class disentangles the myths and legends from the real history of the American West and shows how the experiences of Native people, frontier hunters, explorers, overland trail settlers, ranchers and cowboys, soldiers and law officials, and minority groups were not unique to the American West, but common in other west(s). The course also has a strong public history component to think about the role of history, environment, tourism, and politics in the western states.
