HIST 890.01 - HISTORY OF U.S.-CHINA RELATIONS
Is the so-called “Thucydides trap”—that is, war and conflict between a rising power and a declining one—inevitable in the U.S.-China relations? What wisdom can we gain from learning their complex relationships in the last two centuries? This course investigates Sino-American relations in history, focusing on the key moments when the two countries’ relationship took shape and went through transformation. The bilateral relationship will be examined within the broad context of shifting global and regional orders from the age of gunboat diplomacy to the Covid-19 pandemic. Readings will be a combination of scholarly literature and primary documents.

The 1960's
This seminar will examine one of the most tumultuous decades in modern U.S. history – the 1960s. We will begin by exploring the early 1960s when the nation elected its youngest and first “television” President - John F. Kennedy – and an era of liberal idealism seemed at hand. During Kennedy’s brief White House years came a growing challenge to racial segregation posed by the Civil Rights Movement, an arms race that led the nation to the brink of nuclear war, and the early escalation of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Kennedy’s shocking assassination in 1963 ushered in further upheaval even as President Lyndon Johnson sought to broaden and fulfill liberal reform ideals. The struggle for racial equality moved from South to North, student protest activism took shape on college campuses, new movements including women’s and gay liberation emerged and a backlash against these changes altered the political landscape by the decade’s end. We will draw on first-hand accounts, television and film clips, interpretive works by historians and other critical commentators to gain a deeper understanding of this decisive decade. We’ll also reflect on its consequences for the times in which we live.

HIST 890 sec. 2SY - DIGITAL HISTORY

This seminar will focus on the process of creating, evaluating, and implementing digital history for teaching, research, museum, and public history purposes. The course readings, workshops, and discussions will expose students to the philosophy, practice, and controversies in the emerging field of digital history. It will also involve hands-on production and evaluation of digital history projects, including the UNH-produced HOSLAC website (History of Science in Latin America and the Caribbean, www.hoslac.org), as well as original student projects.

The constant stream of new technologies presents historians with both possibilities and perils; thus, the readings and assignments in this course are geared towards training students to approach electronic tools in a thoughtful and practical manner. As we explore the old and new approaches to historical research and presentation, we will find that some methodological issues are new; others remain the same! A central goal of the course is how to develop “best practices” with new technology, and to improve and expand access to narratives of the past. We also explore emerging career applications of this new field: for teaching, research, museums, and other forms of public history.
