    We will address 1) the ancient past; 2) the first European invasions and occupations of 1492 to 1600; 3) the period between 1600 and 1800 – when African and Indigenous labor became the foundation of the European imperial system, and capitalism in Europe grew in significant measure from profits generated by the sale of kidnapped Africans; and 4) the cataclysmic era of revolution from 1750 to 1825 that shattered colonial domination. The four sections of the course are tied to modern resistance movements, some of which have won national elections since the 1990s, thus opening a path to the practice of economics designed by and for the poor.

  • HIST 127 SC - Rousseau, Tocqueville, Foucault

    This course undertakes a detailed examination of the major works of three prominent modern French thinkers—Rousseau, Tocqueville, Foucault—as the starting point for a historical understanding of the origins and aims of critical thinking. The course will pay special attention to the particular historical contexts that shaped the ideas of each writer, and the ways in which their writings addressed specific social and political challenges. Through a careful consideration of the important engagement between thinking and the world, the course offers the possibility of a richer and more satisfying understanding of the initiative we now call “theory.”
