HISTORY 359E: American Interventions, 1898-Present (HISTORY 259E, INTNLREL 168A)

This class seeks to examine the modern American experience with limited wars, beginning with distant and yet pertinent cases, and culminating in the war in Iraq. Although this class will examine war as a consequence of foreign policy, it will not focus primarily on presidential decision making. Rather, it will place wartime policy in a broader frame, considering it alongside popular and media perceptions of the war, the efforts of antiwar movements, civil-military relations, civil reconstruction efforts, and conditions on the battlefield. We will also examine, when possible, the postwar experience. Non-matriculating students are asked to consult the instructor before enrolling in the course.

HISTORY 360: Black Women, Trauma, and the Art of Resistance (HISTORY 260)

This course explores how Black women have experienced, remembered, and recovered from trauma. Drawing on historical texts, works in psychology, legal records, medical literature, diaries, novels, poetry, plays, songs, and films, we will consider how Black women recorded, passed down, and inherited stories about traumatic events. We begin in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries with Black women's experiences on slave ships and during slavery, we discuss intergenerational trauma, and we conclude by examining the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Black women's lives. We pay considerable attention to how Black women relied on the arts to speak the unspeakable. The class will centrally address healing, recovery, and resistance. We will read texts by writers, activists, legal scholars, and artists including Harriet Jacobs, Ida B. Wells, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Toni Morrison, Ntozake Shange, bell hooks, Saidiya Hartman, Kimberl¿ Crenshaw, and Jesmyn Ward.

HISTORY 369: Thinking About Capitalism (HISTORY 269)

What is capitalism? An economic and social system that maximizes both individual freedom and social good? An exploitative arrangement dependent on the subordination of labor to capital? A natural arrangement guided by a munificent invisible hand? Or a finely tuned mechanism requiring state support? This class offers undergraduate and graduate students a forum to consider these questions by reading selected works by historians, sociologists, economists, and other thinkers. Together we will work our way through primary sources from the twentieth century, using them to examine how capitalism has been understood, conceptualized, defended, and attacked. We will study the history of debates about markets, the state, and social organization, taking capitalism as both an economic system and a culture. Permission number required to enroll. Please contact Professor Burns at jenniferburns@stanford.edu to request permission to enroll in the course.

HISTORY 371B: US Latinx History (CHILATST 271B, HISTORY 271B)

This course introduces scholarship on Latinx history, a field of critical importance to U.S. History, American studies, Latinx studies, ethnic studies, Latin American studies, and African American history. In order to cover a plethora of Latinx experiences, it will focus on Mexican, Puerto Rican, Dominican, Central American, and other Latinx communities from the 1840s into present, though it does not adhere to a strict chronological time frame. This course attempts to show the hemispheric nature of Latinx history. It also emphasizes a notion of Latinidad as a contingent historical process. Key themes which survey its complexity include the nature and legacies of imperialism; the politics of peoplehood and citizenship; trans-border connections; the importance of race, class, and gender in defining politics and culture; the emergence of ethnic nationalisms; and the development of urban enclaves. In particular, our class will focus on linking these dynamics to present-day issues and debates.
