OSPBER 88: RELIGION & THE THIRD REICH

This course investigates the role of established religion and new religious ideologies in Nazi Germany. Students learn about religious ideologies employed by the Nazis in service of fascism (paganism, occultism, and "Positive Christianity") and the policies they implemented to promote their nationalistic vision and absolutist politics, ranging from Gleichschaltung, to the Reich Concordat Treaty with the Vatican, to the Final Solution. Students also study the impact of these policies on German Protestants, Catholics, Jews, and other religious minorities, and about the range of responses that Nazi religious propaganda and programs evoked, from accommodation to cooperation to resistance. The course facilitates this investigation in three ways: (1) discussion of common readings and video content in a weekly seminar setting; (2) regular local site visits for experience learning; (3) frequent, short written reflection in the form of responses to readings, video content, and site visits (Academic Journal).

OSPCPTWN 10: Climate Change and Political Violence

Policymakers and scholars are increasingly interested in whether climate change could increase the risk of political instability, including violent conflicts within and between countries. In this seminar, we explore such questions as: How could the expected effects of climate change make civil or international conflicts more likely? What evidence is there that environmental factors contribute to political violence, both historically and today? What regions or countries are most at risk from these challenges, and why? In addition to addressing the human and social impacts of climate change, topics include what causes political violence within and between countries and how we can assess the contribution of different risk factors. In addition, methods and data that scholars use to explore the link between climate and conflict.
