As part of their projects of governance, modern states have sought to regulate gender and sexuality by casting their attention on topics ranging from reproduction to marriage to intimacy and from migration to prostitution to labor. This course takes a transnational approach to gender, sexuality, and the state as it introduces students to some of the most recent and exciting work in the field. Case studies will come from North America, Britain, Europe, and perhaps, beyond. Our chronological focus will be the nineteenth and, especially, the twentieth centuries.

New Approaches to Genocide and Violence
HIST-H799 with Professor Roseman
The research seminar provides a collegial forum for students to research and write a scholarly article. The topic of the course is purposefully broad: "New Approaches to Genocide and Violence". It is aimed at students of all geographical and chronological specializations who are interested in the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological questions pertaining to the nature, causes, experience, impact and memory of violence involving groups, peoples, or identities. The idea is to learn from each other as we identify and discuss the ways in which historians in different fields have approached, defined, and analyzed questions around genocide and related kinds of violence. Weekly meetings early on in the semester will be devoted to practical matters such as the search for sources and their interpretation, the discussion of theoretical frameworks, and the challenges of writing a scholarly article. Some weeks we will not meet as a group, but students will focus on their research and meet with the instructor individually.
