UGC 112NWorld Civilization IIProfessor Stapleton 109 KnoxT R 12:30-1:20 Reg. # (recitation section)This course addresses some major features of the modern world since 1500, including the formation of empires and nations, the movement of peoples and ideas, wars, and environmental and cultural change. It focuses on developments that have contributed to creating what we today call “globalization,” which includes processes through which people and their natural environment, societies and states, non-state actors and ideas have become intertwined across borders.Recitation sections: (registration in a recitation section gives automatic registration in the lecture)N1 R 9:00- 9:50 Reg. #426719 (123 Clemens) N6 R 3:00- 3:50 Reg. #490433 (221 Clemens)N2 W 2:00- 2:50 Reg. #162458 (219 Clemens) N7 F 1:00- 1:50 Reg. #184556 (215 Clemens)N3 W 3:00- 3:50 Reg. #217603 (221 Clemens) N8 F 3:00- 3:50 Reg. #295550 (113 Baldy)N4 R 2:00- 2:50 Reg. #401721 (215 Clemens) N9 F 10:00-10:50 Reg. #378594 (102 Clemens)N5 M 12:00-12:50 Reg. #303700 (106 Baldy) N10 M 1:00- 1:50 Reg. #143659 (109 Baldy)UGC 112VWorld Civilization IIProfessor Mazon 109 KnoxM W 11:00-11:50 Reg. # (recitation section)This course outlines the major political, economic, social, cultural, and intellectual developments in the world since 1500. Featured topics include the rise of the West, the Industrial Revolution, nationalism, imperialism, the world wars of the 20th century, communism, and globalization.

Attendance and participation in the discussion section are required. Course readings include War Trash, I, Rigoberta Menchú, and Persepolis.Recitation sections: (registration in a recitation section gives automatic registration in the lecture)V1 M 3:00- 3:50 Reg. #173031 (215 Clemens) V6 W 4:00- 4:50 Reg. #218900 (221 Clemens)V2 M 4:00- 4:50 Reg. #426399 (215 Clemens) V7 T 2:00- 2:50 Reg. #296006 (219 Clemens)V3 W 2:00- 2:50 Reg. #222815 (217 Clemens) V8 F 11:00-11:50 Reg. #200115 (123 Baldy)V4 M 1:00- 1:50 Reg. #113891 (88 Alumni) V9 F 3:00- 3:50 Reg. #202037 (111 Baldy)V5 W 3:00- 3:50 Reg. #371371 (219 Clemens) V10 F 12:00-12:50 Reg. #202195 (123 Baldy)UGC 112WWorld Civilization IIProfessor Langfur 109 KnoxT R 9:30-10:20 Reg. # (recitation section)In this course we will consider the broad social, cultural, political, and economic transformations that have shaped the modern world, while retaining an emphasis on the ordinary people who lived through these global changes. The world beyond the West will constitute the focus of the course, examined not in isolation but in interaction with Europe and, later, the United States. Concentrating first on the encounter of diverse peoples and cultures brought about by European seaborne expansion after 1400, we will proceed to analyze the historical forces set in motion by this meeting of civilizations, including colonialism, imperialism, industrialization, nationalism, and decolonization. These developments empowered some, while subjugating others. Of particular concern will be the ways in which individuals and groups responded to and struggled against economic, political, racial, and gender inequalities over the course of more than five centuries. Our inquiry will also serve as an introduction to the study and practice of history.Recitation sections: (registration in a recitation section gives automatic registration in the lecture)W1 F 11:00-11:50 Reg. #202004 (119 Baldy) W6 W 12:00-12:50 Reg. #496224 (109 Baldy)W2 W 10:00-10:50 Reg. #255701 (106 Baldy) W7 T 12:30- 1:20 Reg. #197880 (126 Baldy)W3 R 11:00-11:50 Reg. #369968 (109 Baldy) W8 T 2:00- 2:50 Reg. #013696 (102 Clemens)W4 W 11:00-11:50 Reg. #116521 (209 Norton) W9 F 10:00-10:50 Reg. #378936 (106 Baldy)W5 W 11:00-11:50 Reg. #355053 (250 Park) W10 T 11:00-11:50 Reg. #449987 (109 Baldy)1HIS 113Myth and Religion in the Ancient WorldProfessor Woodard 20 KnoxM W F 10:00-10:50 Reg. #422566Myth and Religion in the Ancient World provides a comparative analysis of the mythic and religious traditions of various early Indo-European peoples, in coverage extending chronologically and geographically from Vedic India to Medieval Ireland and Scandinavia, focusing on ancient Greece and, especially Rome. The analytic model used is that of, chiefly, ÉmileBenveniste and Georges Dumézil.

In examining this story we will not only engage the past but also the present and its most pressing issues: the meaning and extent of political participation in a democracy; contestations over “liberty” and “equality” in a market economy; the origins and uses of U.S. global power; and struggles over identity and citizenship in an ever-changing society. We will see how change has happened in these areas not because of inevitable historical forces, but because of the choices and actions of many different individuals and groups. These, ultimately, are our subjects of study: not lists of names and dates, but dynamic and conflicted stories of changes and the people who powered them. USHRecitation sections:
