HIST-D103 Making of Modern Russia
Let's discover Russia through its history in the long twentieth century! We look at late Imperial Russia, the Russian Revolution and Stalinism; the emergence, evolution and final collapse of the Soviet Union, and the newly emergent Russian Federation. We combine a survey of political events, economic and social processes at the “macro” level with a search to understand the lived experience of those people who made up this vast and diverse country.

HIST-W200 Global Climate History
How have human societies interacted with the Earth’s variable climate over the long sweep of history? How have they been shaped by climate and changed it themselves? How have groups acquired scientific and experiential knowledge about climate conditions both where they live and elsewhere on the planet? How do the current precarities of global warming resemble vulnerabilities of populations to other climate calamities and how do they differ? This course explores these questions and more through a look at climate history around the world from ancient times to the present.
