111. Modern Europe. Hist. 110 is recommended as prerequisite. (3). (SS).
This course, which has no prerequisite, will introduce Europe since 1700. We shall look at the major revolutions of the period, the world wars of the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, such long-term processes as industrialization and urbanization, and particular aesthetic forms (novel, photography, film) that helped contemporaries understand those realities. We shall also, however, look at how Europe invaded much of the rest of the world in this era, and was in turn invaded by America. Finally, from first to last we will be concerned with memory, with how Europeans in 1914 or 1815 or 1700 used history as both a mirror to see themselves in and a map to their futures. The course is conducted in lectures and discussion. Required work will consist of a midterm and final exam, and possibly one short paper. (Marwil)

Studies 360. History of the Family in the U.S. (3).
(SS).
Section 201 – History of the Family in the United States, 1880
to the Present. This course aims to help students gain a
perspective on the contemporary family by studying the development
of this important institution in the American past. Particular
emphasis will be placed on changing attitudes towards and experiences
of sex roles, sexuality, childrearing, work patterns, and relationships
between men, women and children. We will explore race, ethnicity, and class, cover economic developments as well as shifting conceptions
of the role of the state, and ask about the impact of these factors
on family life. We will want to examine how much the family has
changed over time and try to project, on the basis of historical
evidence, whither the family is going. (Morantz-Sanchez)

during lectures, a term paper, and an essay final exam. Readings
