Spring 2024 Graduate Courses
HIST 5012-801 Graduate Colloquium in European History:Colloq-Europe Since 1789 – Erin Hutchinson
This reading-intensive course covers major topics in the modern history of Europe (1789-present) from the French Revolution to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. The course will focus on different methodological approaches to history, including social history, imperial history, cultural history, intellectual history, and environmental history. We will consider how these different approaches can inform scholarship and teaching.
HIST 5106-801 Graduate Colloquium in United States History:United States to 1865 – Thomas Andrews
This course offers a graduate-level survey of history and historiography in what is now the U.S. from the 1500s to the close of the Civil War. We will read an array of recent books (most published since 2015) while also taking care to situate these studies within the existing literature. Writing assignments will be relatively flexible and aligned with the History Department's portfolio requirements as well as student interests. Students from departments other than HIST who are interested in being considered for admission to this course should contact Professor Andrews directly at thomas.andrews@colorado.
HIST 6410-801 Readings in Environmental History – Paul Sutter
Global Environmental History – This readings course will introduce students to the environmental historiographies of most of the major world areas, though our coverage will necessarily be selective. Temporally, the course will begin with the invention of agriculture and include readings on the Medieval, early modern, and modern periods. The course will fulfill the department’s global/thematic requirement.
