S106 is the Honors
version of H106. It is a survey of American history from the era after the
Civil War until the present. Professor Nashel’s goal is to help students learn
to read and write and think about the past in a knowledgeable way. Unlike H106,
S106 is primarily a discussion course. There will be lectures when needed, but
we will spend most of our time examining key primary and secondary sources from
this period. Occasionally, class time will be devoted to writing about the
shared readings. Students will take a midterm and a final, and there will be
two papers based on the readings and discussions in the class.

Theme: Race, Class, and Identity in Latin American History
In this course, we
will examine the interplay of race, class, and identity as national identities
were being formed in the countries of Latin America in the 19th
and 20th
centuries. We will consider how the concepts of race and class were defined
(influenced in part by Social Darwinism) and how the people of mixed race in
Latin America were often viewed by the primarily white elite as “obstacles” to
progress. Of prime importance then, is the study of historical ideas about and
connections between poverty, class, race, and nation. We will also consider some
of the conflicts and riots that unfolded. The course is interdisciplinary and
will be based primarily on discussions of the reading material. Students will
also complete several short writing assignments.

well as the 1946 song, “(Get Your Kicks) on Route 66.” Many artists including
the Rolling Stones and Depeche Mode have sung about Route 66. The road has also
appeared in movies and television shows. This interdisciplinary history course

This course will
examine broadly the political, economic, cultural, and social dimensions of
colonial Latin American history. We will also connect these broad structures to
the human experience. We will begin with the clash between the cultures of
European conquerors and native peoples in the Americas and consider how some
advanced native civilizations, such as the Aztecs, collapsed so rapidly. We will
also analyze the ways in which the Europeans (Spanish and Portuguese) exacted
power. Of prime importance will be the study of the interaction between
Europeans, indigenous groups, and African slaves and the creation of mixed race,
multicultural societies. The course will end with an examination of the
movements that led to the political Independence of the countries of Latin
America, such as Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico. The course is primarily
lecture-based. However we will have several discussions of the reading material
which will include monographs and primary sources.

In 1095, the pope issued an unprecedented call to Christians to conquer
Jerusalem and the Holy Land from the Muslims. This event marked the beginning
of Christendom’s holy war against Islam, which resulted in the Christian
conquest of Jerusalem in 1099, as well as the establishment of crusader states
in the Holy Land. By 1291, however, the Muslims had regained control of the
entire region. In this course, we will explore issues such as: the crusading
ideal, the motivations of the people who went on crusade, women’s involvement in
the campaigns, and the internal organization of the crusader states. Moreover,
we will pay special attention to the cultural exchanges that resulted from the
crusades between Muslims, Christians and Jews. As usual, we will explore the
crusades by using sources from several disciplines, such as literature, law,
religion and art.

basis, but occasionally students have been able to secure paid internships. In
recent years interns have worked at such places as the Center for History,
Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, the County - - City Historic
Preservation Commission, and the St. Joseph County Archives. Generally a three
credit-hour internship involves about eight hours of work per week for a fifteen

lecture and discussion with some short papers, a midterm and final exam.
