HS 330 - Gender, Race, and Class in Modern Europe

(3.00 cr.)

Showcases the role women, people of color, workers, and the poor played in shaping modern European history. While introducing students to major themes and events in the history of Europe from the French Revolution to the present, the course centers the lives of supposedly marginalized people. Students investigate how and why the categories of gender, race, and class emerged, how they intersected and interacted with one another, and how they were deployed to oppress, regulate, and control people. At the same time, we look at how people resisted such oppression. Course topics include, but are not limited to, feminism, class conflict, imperialism and anti-imperialism, immigration and migration, and prostitution and homosexuality.
