J-term 2024 – fully online
Prof Julia Rodriguez
Fulfills Discovery World Cultures requirement!

 


Deborah Roberts, Sisterly Love, 2021. Acrylic and collage on canvas.


Childhood is commonly assumed to be “natural” and unchanging. Yet
historical studies have shown us that the meaning and experience of
childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood are constructed daily, and
differently, around the world. This course explores the diverse
experiences of children and youth in a variety of geographic and historical
settings, including their interaction with family, community, religion,
schools, government, the military, and medical and legal professionals.
We explore the debates over children’s capacities and rights and learn
about the many ways that children and youth have contributed to
culture, politics, and social change.

The Vikings spread terror and destruction for hundreds of years throughout modern Britain, northern France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Russia. They also developed remarkable art forms and cutting edge naval technology, constructed important new cities (such as Dublin) and new kingdoms, including Novgorod and Kiev, and explored the New World half a millennium before Columbus. So who were these fierce warriors, intrepid explorers, and famed poets? In this course, we will investigate the origins of the Vikings in Scandinavia, the impetus for their explosion onto the European stage, as well as their culture, technology, and art. Students will read scholarly articles about the Vikings as well as source materials produced by the Vikings, themselves, and their enemies. Students will write short response papers to scholarly articles and participate in live discussions via Zoom about important sources such as the Norse Sagas. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives Discovery Category and History Category II.

Global History of Cancer

In this course, students will trace the history of cancer from its earliest references in text, art, and oral tradition to modern-day scientific journals, survivor blogs, and portrayals of the disease
in film and television.  Students will grapple with the central question of “What has been the impact of cancer on various cultures over time, place and space?”  Topics of inquiry will include cancer in ancient civilizations, early modern scientific ideas about cancer and the body in Europe, patients’ writings about their illnesses from 1750 to present, the discovery of radiation and chemotherapy, and the proliferation of cancer charities and awareness campaigns in the current day.  By the end of this class, students will be equipped to discuss the long history of cancer and its role in culture, politics, economics, and science across the globe.
