HIST 100 Confucius and His Critics 6 credits
An introduction to the study of historical biography. Instead of what we heard or think about Confucius, we will examine what his contemporaries, both his supporters and critics, thought he was. Students will scrutinize various sources gleaned from archaeology, heroic narratives, and court debates, as well as the Analects to write their own biography of Confucius based on a particular historical context that created a persistent constitutional agenda in early China. Students will justify why they would call such a finding, in hindsight, "Confucian" in its formative days. Themes can be drawn from aspects of ritual, bureaucracy, speech and writing.

HIST 100 Gandhi, Nationalism and Colonialism in India 6 credits
The struggle for independence from colonial rule in the Indian subcontinent involved a wide array of nationalist movements, prominently including the struggle led by M. K. Gandhi, who forged a movement centered on non-violence and civil disobedience which brought down the mighty British empire. We will study this alongside numerous other powerful nationalist currents, particularly those based on Islamic ideas and symbols. A significant part of the course will involve a historical role-playing game, Reacting to the Past: Defining a Nation, wherein students will take on roles of actual historical figures and recreate a twentieth century debate about religious identity and nation-building in the colonial context.

HIST 261 Partition Imagined: 1947 in Literature, Art & Film 3 credits
British departure from the Indian subcontinent led to the creation of two new nation-states, India and Pakistan, sparking one of the greatest migrations in history. Millions perished en route. Those who survived were scarred for life. Only fiction writers of the time had the courage to narrate the horrors of partition. Since then literary, artistic and cinematic treatments of this conclusive moment in Indian history have shaped collective memories of 1947. This course explores how artistic representations of partition intersect with official narratives. Open to all students; an excellent complement for students enrolled in HIST 262: Borders Drawn in Blood.

HIST 262 Borders Drawn in Blood: The Partition of Modern India 6 credits
India’s independence in 1947 was marred by its bloody partition into two nation states. Neighbors turned on each other, millions were rendered homeless and without kin, and gendered violence became rampant, all in the name of religion. Political accounts of Partition are plentiful, but how did ordinary people experience it? Centering the accounts of people who lived through Partition, this course explores how divisions and differences calcified, giving birth to national and religious narratives that obscure histories of intersecting identities. With right wing Hindu nationalism ascendant in India and Islamic nationalism in Pakistan on the rise, Partition alas is not over.
