368/Amer. Cult. 342/WS 360. History of the Family in the U.S. (4). (SS).
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 toward 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. Cost:3 (Morantz-Sanchez)

370/WS 370. Women in American History to 1870. (3). (Excl).
This course is an introduction to the history of American women - as a group, as individuals, and as members of different classes, and racial, regional, and ethnic communities. Using work, politics, and sexuality as organizing concepts, it focuses particularly on the significance of gender in determining women's experiences from the early seventeenth century to 1870. Special attention is paid to initial and continuing encounters of Native Americans, Euro-Americans, and African-Americans; to evolving constructions of "womanhood" and their significance for different groups of women; to the meaning of religious movements, wars, economic transformations, and demographic shifts for women's individual and collective efforts to determine the course of their own histories.

381. History of the Jews from the Moslem Conquests to the Spanish Expulsion. (3). (Excl).
This course will survey major trends in medieval Jewish society under both Islam and western Christendom. Broadly, the course will fall into three parts: the Jews of the Muslim world in the Geonic period, the rise and decline of Spanish Jewry, and the rise and decline of the Jews of northern Europe. It will look at the impact on Jewish society of the Crusades, the Reconquista, the emergence of the mendicant orders, the Black Death, and the Spanish expulsion. It will examine the interaction of Jewish society with the majority culture at various junctures, as well as changing cultural trends within Jewish society. The distinctive religious climate of the medieval period will serve as a unifying theme throughout. Requirements for the course: midterm and final examinations. Cost:2 WL:1

393. Topics in U.S. and Latin American History. (3). (Excl). May be elected for credit twice.
Section 001 - U.S. Intellectual and Cultural History. America, one historian has remarked, is a nation of words. In this lecture course we will examine some of the words and concepts that have been central within American culture from pre-colonial times to the present and how they have been articulated, debated, instantiated, and used at a variety of times and by a variety of people. Our approach, derived from the cultural history of ideas, will examine not just the world of thinking, but how those thoughts get translated into doing and making, and in the process are themselves transformed. Our reading will include such major figures as Jonathan Edwards, Harriet Beecher Stowe, William James, Daniel Bell, and Toni Morrison, as well as a host of less well known writers, scientists, political thinkers, popular commentators and the like. We will focus throughout, however, as much on how the words are used - in producing arguments, laws, social movements, consumer goods, and machines - and on the technologies that make them available, as on the language itself.
