“Crazy.” “Schizo.” “Nuts.” “Screwy.” “Loony.” “Loopy.” “Cracked.” These terms describe mental disorder, a universal and persistent condition in human history. Every society has struggled to make sense of it; every society has struggled to address it. But what is mental disorder? Is it a disease? If so, of what? The body? The brain? The mind? The soul? Is it a chemical imbalance? Genetic destiny? Is it the wage of sin? The mark of the devil? The gift of God? Or is it rather a name slapped on thought, feeling, or behavior that defies a society’s definition of “normal?” This course seeks to answer these questions by exploring the range of beliefs American society developed from the eighteenth century to the present to identify and define mental disorder as well as the methods Americans have employed to treat or contain it. In collaboration with NH Humanities and the NH Historical Society, our specific research focus will be the New Hampshire State Hospital and its place within the larger history of mental health and mental healthcare in the U.S. Using archival documents, state reports, medical textbooks and treatises, family papers, newspapers and other mass media coverage, we will produce a multi-layered history of this important institution. Come join us in creating a usable history of mental health and mental healthcare for New Hampshire while exploring how that history can help us chart a better path forward.

Indigenous Sovereignty & the United States: Key Issues

Current issues surrounding Indigenous Peoples’ Day, the use of Native Americans as sports team mascots, protests over water rights, conflicts over monuments from Mount Rushmore to Plymouth Rock, protests over violence against Native Americans and the ways the criminal justice system treats Indigenous Americans, all have been informed by the past.  This course contextualizes many of these issues by introducing Native American history through the lens of identity and sovereignty.   

 

We will study changing US policies towards Indigenous peoples from the beginning of the U.S. period to the present. U.S. federal policy provides the chronological framework of the course, but Indigenous perspectives are an integral part of every unit.  Students will read works written by Indigenous writers and watch videos by and featuring Native American perspectives for each topic covered. Each student will complete a research project on a topic of their choice.  Among the key issues we will explore together are: removal and reservations, treaty obligations, Indigenous resilience and survival, boarding schools, adoption, and foster care, and recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions. This course satisfies the Group I requirement for the History Major and counts toward the Native American and Indigenous Studies Minor (NAIS).

Additional Course Details: 

The purpose of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to gain an in-depth knowledge of aspects of Late Antiquity from c. 300-c.800 AD across the Mediterranean World and Europe, and to gain practice in writing book reviews, in discussing books, and finally in writing historiographical essays. For the first, and longer part of the course, each student will read a monograph of his or her choice, write a book review, and share this book review with the class. For each class session during the first, and longer, part of the semester students will read the reviews of their fellow students, and class discussion will focus on all of the book reviews completed for that week. Each student will give a five-minute presentation of his or her review during each class period, and the other students will come with prepared questions about the books of each of the other students in the class. During the second, and shorter, part of the semester students will work on writing a historiographical essay, the topic of which they have chosen in consultation with Professor Bachrach. We will not have regular class meetings during the second part of the semester. Instead, Professor Bachrach will meet individually with students to discuss the historiographical essays, and to address any concerns or problems that have arisen.
