AS.010.291 (01)	The Art of Ancient Greek Medicine	TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Stager, Jennifer	Gilman 177	Spring 2025	This course analyzes the role of artists and the visual arts in shaping ancient Greek medicine and the afterlife of these ideas. Grounded in the visual arts, we will explore class, gender, race, ethnicity, disability, and sexuality as they intersect with developments in ancient medicine and later interpretations of this history. Includes excursions to local museums.
AS.010.359 (01)	The Symbolic Mosque: A Political History of Islamic Architecture	MW 4:30PM - 5:45PM	Kim Korkmaz, Christine Ji-eun	Gilman 177	Spring 2025	From the 2008 Swiss referendum banning minarets and the opposition of the 2010 proposed construction of a mosque near the site of the September 11 attacks in New York City to the more recent reconversion of the Hagia Sophia in 2020, the mosque in modern times has incited significant controversy and sentiments of hostility among various political and religious groups. The mosque as a political battleground, however, has a much longer history, and the coopting of religious buildings and architectural elements as visual symbols deserves a more comprehensive historical analysis. With a focus on the Ottoman context, this seminar will explore the political dimensions of mosque architecture since the fifteenth century and will examine its transformations both visually and symbolically across spatiotemporal contexts. The historical investigation into the symbolic significance of the mosque and Islamic architecture in the first half of this course will lead to a broader discussion in the second half about the role of architectures of nationalism in politics and diplomacy starting from the nineteenth century until today. By focusing on the mosque itself as a symbol, this course aims to spark dialogue and reflection on the role of religious monuments in contemporary political encounters across different geographic contexts. This course encourages a multi- and inter-disciplinary approach to Islamic art and architecture by incorporating readings and topics from a variety of fields, such as cultural theory, political history, anthropology, and heritage studies. Case studies covered by this course include the Persianate and Byzantine influences in early Ottoman mosques, the establishment and continuation of the classical Ottoman architectural style of the sixteenth century, neo-Mamluk mosques in Egypt and the creation of architectural identities in Ottoman Arab lands, architectural afterlives of Ottoman heritage in modern Greece, and the use of neo-Ottoman architecture by
AS.010.369 (01)	The American Art Museum: Origins, Mission, and Civic Purpose	TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Weiss, Daniel H	Gilman 177	Spring 2025	This course will explore the American art museum as a distinctive cultural and political idea. Tracing its origins to the ancient world, the American art museum was descended more immediately from institutions created during the European Enlightenment, but differing with regard to overall mission and civic purpose. This course will explore the various roles played by museums in American society, focusing on programmatic content, organizational design, funding and operating practices, and the particular issues that have arisen in recent years in the areas of cultural property restitution, collection development, special exhibitions, governance and funding, and the larger question of civic purpose.
AS.010.402 (01)	Mobility & Migration of the Artist in Early Modern Europe	Th 5:00PM - 7:30PM	Yeager-Crasselt, Lara	Gilman 177	Spring 2025	How did artists define their identity in the era before fixed “nationalities” and setgeographies? This course investigates the art and personalities of the many Netherlandishpainters, sculptors, printmakers, and craftsmen who moved and migrated across early modern Europe, finding work and fortune in cities from Rome to London, and Madrid to Stockholm. Their mobility, as the Florentine merchant Lodovico Guicciardini remarked in1567, was “something no less wonderful than honorable.” But the reasons behind the unprecedented migrations of Dutch and Flemish artists from the Low Countries from c.1550 to 1700 were complex and varied. Many artists were driven by the political andreligious turmoil of the Eighty Years’ War with Spain, while others sought economic and professional opportunities abroad. While some artists undertook short-term migrations, others left their native soil permanently. How did artists adjust to new cultures, languages,and religious traditions? What strategies did they use to succeed in their new homes? And how did their mobility ultimately affect their artistic practice? Taking a wide and critical view, the course provides a framework for examining the full range of motivations, how artists navigated new artistic, cultural, social, and religious contexts, and how artistic identity itself emerges from a relationship to place beyond one’s own.
AS.040.420 (04)	Classics Research Lab: Race in Antiquity Project (RAP)	T 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Pandey, Nandini	Greenhouse 000	Spring 2025	How did ancient civilizations around the Mediterranean basin (Greece, Rome, Egypt, Persia, Carthage) understand and represent their own and others’ identities and ethnic differences? How did notions and practices around race, citizenship, and immigration evolve from antiquity to the present? How have culture and politics informed artistic, literary, and museum representations of ethnic ‘others’ over time, along with the historical development of ethnography, biological science, and pseudo-sciences of race? What role did “Classics” (the study of Greco-Roman cultures) play in modern colonialism, racecraft, and inequality? And what role can it play in unmaking their legacies, through the ongoing Black Classicism movement, the practice of Critical Race Theory, and the development of more global and interconnective approaches to premodern cultures? RAP provides an opportunity for Hopkins undergraduates and graduate students from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds to engage in project-based research toward building an open-access, grant-winning educational resource (OER) on “Race in Antiquity.” Participants learn, share, and practice advanced research methods; examine and discuss the history and modern implications of the teaching and study of their fields; test-drive and collaboratively edit OER pilot materials; and create new content based on their own research, for eventual digital publication.

The events of this period were marked by social upheaval, personal vendettas, violence, massive youth movements, and extreme ideological pressure. What were the causes of the Cultural Revolution? How was it experienced and how is it remembered? To what extent are its reverberations felt in contemporary Chinese society, politics, and literature? How have subsequent events affected our understanding of the Cultural Revolution decade? This course will explore the Cultural Revolution from a variety of perspectives, focusing on the relationship between events in China from 1966-1976, and their subsequent interpretation as history and in historical memory in China and beyond.

AS.100.203 (01)	The American Revolution in History and Memory	MW 10:00AM - 10:50AM, F 11:00AM - 11:50AM	Grindon, Blake	Hodson 316; Hodson 315	Spring 2025	As we approach the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution questions about the legacy and meaning of the revolutionary era circulate among both professional historians and the American public: How revolutionary was the American Revolution, and for whom? What did the diverse population of North America in the 1770s—including free and enslaved people of African descent, Native Americans, as well white women and men in the thirteen colonies—make of the political rupture between Britain and America? What type of nation did the founders envision and how does that continue to shape the United States today? How has the American Revolution been remembered and memorialized at different times in American history? In this course we will read current scholarship on the American Revolution and also visit museum and cultural sites to explore both the events of the American Revolution and their ongoing memorialization while exploring answers to these questions.

AS.100.220 (01)	"Bad Feminism": Exclusion and Essentialism	MW 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Klassen, Magdalene Ruth	Gilman 400	Spring 2025	This course introduces students to major debates and controversies within the feminist movement in the United Kingdom and the United States from 1850 to the present. From colonial and eugenic women’s movements to anti-trans and carceral feminism, the contents and assessments of this course ask you to consider a pressing question in contemporary feminism: how do we reckon with the reality that many feminists have excluded and continue to exclude people from the liberatory futures they imagine? Together we will analyze the value and limits of historical context and evaluate the relationship between past and present controversies within the feminist movement. Employing critical feminist concepts such as intersectionality and positionality, we will consider what it means for people (including ourselves) to be “products of their time.” By doing historical research in newspaper databases, we will evaluate how feminist claims about “sisterhood” have changed over time.
AS.100.244 (01)	U.S. Conservatism	TTh 4:30PM - 5:45PM	Brann, Allon Yagoda	Hodson 313	Spring 2025	In this course we will explore the history of conservative ideas and their impact on American society from the late-19th century to the present. We will evaluate the successes and failures of conservative thinkers, activists, and movements in shaping policy and culture amidst major transformations in American life. In doing so, we will also investigate relationships and conflicts among a range of formations on the political right, including traditionalists, libertarians, the New Right, neoconservatives, paleoconservatives, neoliberals, and post-liberals. Some basic familiarity with modern U.S. history is recommended, but not required, to take this course.
AS.100.270 (01)	Europe since 1945	TTh 1:30PM - 2:45PM	Harms, Victoria Elisabeth	Hodson 316	Spring 2025	This class focuses on Europe from the end of World War II until today.

AS.100.332 (01)	Early Asian Latin America	W 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Luis, Diego Javier	Gilman 130G	Spring 2025	From 1565 to 1815, the Manila galleons sailed between Spanish colonies in the Philippines and Mexico. Thousands of free and enslaved Asians from all over coastal Asia disembarked these ships at Acapulco and, within decades, could be found throughout Mexico, Central America, and Peru. A second and larger migratory wave of Chinese and South Asian contract laborers arrived in the Caribbean and South America during the nineteenth century. This course examines these two waves and their entanglements to chart the trajectories of the earliest Asian diasporas in the Americas. In the evaluation of these topics, we will pay close attention to racialization, cross-cultural exchange, lived experience, and unfree labor.
AS.100.348 (01)	20th-Century China	TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Rowe, William T	Gilman 55	Spring 2025	Survey of the history of China from ca. 1895 to ca. 1976.
AS.100.384 (02)	Experiential Research Lab: Religious tolerance and confessional conflict in early modern East-Central Europe	W 6:00PM - 8:00PM	Maciejko, Pawel Tadeusz	Gilman 313	Spring 2025	This course will explore the history of religious tolerance, conflict, and dissent in Poland, Bohemia, and Moravia. The Bohemian Reformation (1436) created an unprecedented environment for the flourishing of various religious groups in the Czech lands. The Polish General Charter of Jewish Liberties (1264) granted religious and legal autonomy to Jews, while the Warsaw Confederation (1573) guaranteed freedom of worship to all free persons within Poland-Lithuania. We will study the legislation that provided liberties and protection from persecution to members of different religious communities. We will also examine the relationships between these communities, investigating how their close proximity influenced shared or contested geographical spaces, such as places of worship and cemeteries, competition for resources, and efforts to establish religiously homogeneous “towns” or districts. Our study will include buildings, artworks, and artifacts created by these communities, tracing mutual influences and patterns of representation.
AS.100.386 (01)	Sports History of the Cold War	W 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Harms, Victoria Elisabeth	Hodson 313	Spring 2025	This class reassesses the history of the Cold War through sports. We will investigate how the Cold War has shaped sports, the Olympic movement, the role of athletes at home and abroad. We will discuss how sports intersected with domestic and foreign policy, and how sports constructed, reinforced, and challenged notions of race, gender, and class. We will also interview JHU alumni and former athletes who made a career out of sports.
AS.100.388 (01)	Practicing Historical Research	MW 4:30PM - 5:45PM	Maciejko, Pawel Tadeusz	Gilman 377	Spring 2025	Students work in close collaboration with a faculty member to produce an individual research project.

AS.130.136 (01)	History of Hasidism	TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Katz, David	Smokler Center Library	Spring 2025	Although it appears to be a relic of pre-modern Judaism, Hasidism is a phenomenon of the modern era of Jewish history. This course surveys the political and social history of the Hasidic movement over the course of the last three centuries. Students will also explore basic features of Hasidic culture and thought in their historical development. Cross-listed with Jewish Studies.
AS.213.325 (01)	Revolution, Power, and Poetic Justice: From Peasant Revolts to Workers Revolts in Literature and Phi	WF 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Tobias, Rochelle		Spring 2025	Political thinkers from Ernst Bloch and Carl Schmitt to Reinhard Koselleck and Theodor W. Adorno have long been drawn to Heinrich von Kleist’s novella “Michael Kohlhaas” because of the questions it raises about what a just political order would be when, in the context of this story, only the threat of violence enables the powerless to be heard. The novella takes place in the latter half of the sixteenth century as the feudal era is coming to an end, and Kohlhaas’s struggle to rectify the damage done to his property reveals the vulnerability of the then emerging merchant class to the still unchecked power of the nobility. Yet Kohlhaas’s response to the situation proves to be as arbitrary as the injustice he faces, and the only solution the novella can find for this impasse is a fairy tale that embodies—in all senses of the phrase—poetic justice. This course will examine the novella in its historical context (Reformation, doctrine of natural law, Prussian land reform) and with an eye toward modern thought on state violence, terror, liberalism, and the power of art. All texts and discussion in English.
AS.213.425 (01)	From Peasant Revolts to Artistic Revolts: Heinrich von Kleist's "Michael Kohlhaas"	WF 10:00AM - 11:15AM	Tobias, Rochelle	Gilman 404	Spring 2025	Who has a monopoly on violence? What is the relation of the individual to the state? Is there a right to resistance? Who determines what is just or unjust, arbitrary or rational? Is there a power peculiar to art? We will consider these perennial questions of political theory through a careful examination of Heinrich von Kleist’s novella Michael Kohlhaas (1810) and theoretical works by Martin Luther, Hobbes, Rousseau, & Marx.
AS.310.327 (01)	Women in China from Antiquity to MeToo	TTh 3:00PM - 4:15PM	Jiang, Jin	Mergenthaler 266	Spring 2025	This interdisciplinary survey course considers questions related to women and gender in Chinese society. Taking a long historical view, the course examines ideologies, social institutions, and literary representations of women and gender in traditional society and their modern transformation. Specific topics to be explored include the concept of Yin and Yang, Confucian gender ideology and the family, sex and sexuality, marriage and concubinage, footbinding, and calls for women's liberation in the context of twentieth-century Chinese revolutions. The course will end with an examination of the relationship between social media and gender politics as seen through the Chinese MeToo movement. Students will have the opportunity to work with a variety of primary sources including historical, literary, and visual materials.
AS.310.329 (01)	Women, Patriarchy, and Feminism in China, South Korea, and Japan	TTh 4:30PM - 5:45PM	Henning, Stefan	Mergenthaler 266	Spring 2025	We will try to get a quick overview of the recent history of patriarchy in China, South Korea, and Japan from the mid-twentieth century to our present and then compare the initiatives of feminists to transform the lives of women throughout these three societies. We will also debate whether or how it makes sense to adapt the Western notions of patriarchy and sexism as well as the Western political program of feminism to the non-Western context of East Asia by reading books by historians, anthropologists, and sociologists.
AS.310.331 (01)	Islam in Asia	TTh 9:00AM - 10:15AM	Henning, Stefan	Mergenthaler 266	Spring 2025	You will learn about the efforts of ordinary, non-elite Muslims to shape the relation between their communities and the state as well as to (where applicable) the non-Muslim majority through collective organizing over the last forty years. We will read and discuss books by anthropologists, historians, and sociologists studying Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
AS.360.305 (01)	Introduction to Computational Methods for the Humanities	TTh 1:30PM - 2:45PM	Lippincott, Tom; Sirin Ryan, Hale	Krieger 304	Spring 2025	This course introduces basic computational techniques in the context of empirical humanistic scholarship. Topics covered include the command-line, basic Python programming, and experimental design. While illustrative examples are drawn from humanistic domains, the primary focus is on methods: those with specific domains in mind should be aware that such applied research is welcome and exciting, but will largely be their responsibility beyond the confines of the course. Students will come away with tangible understanding of how to cast simple humanistic questions as empirical hypotheses, ground and test these hypotheses computationally, and justify the choices made while doing so. No previous programming experience is required.
AS.360.306 (01)	Computational Intelligence for the Humanities	TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Backer, Samuel Ehrlich; Messner, Craig A	Maryland 114	Spring 2025	This course introduces substantial machine learning methods of particular relevance to humanistic scholarship. Areas covered include standard models for classification, regression, and topic modeling, before turning to the array of open-source pretrained deep neural models, and the common mechanisms for employing them. Students are expected to have a level of programming experience equivalent to that gained from AS.360.304, Gateway Computing, AS.250.205, or Harvard’s CS50 for Python. Students will come away with an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of different machine learning models, the ability to discuss them in relation to human intelligence and to make informed decisions of when and how to employ them, and an array of related technical knowledge.

AS.100.124 (82)	For My Ghosts: Haunting in Edwidge Danticat’s Worldmaking	MWF 9:00AM - 11:40AM	Webb, Nadejda Isha		Summer 2025	How has haunting, marked by presence and absence, shaped famed Haitian author Edwidge Danticat’s worldmaking? As we investigate texts including The Farming of Bones (1998), The Dew Breaker (2004), and Claire of the Sea Light (2013), we will dissect multivalent iterations of hauntings and their connections to other critical themes in Danticat’s oeuvre, including nation-building, diaspora, colonization and migration.
AS.100.385 (82)	Experiential Research Lab: Study Abroad		Maciejko, Pawel Tadeusz		Summer 2025	This course will explore the history of religious tolerance, conflict, and dissent in Poland, Bohemia, and Moravia. The Bohemian Reformation (1436) created an unprecedented environment for the flourishing of various religious groups in the Czech lands. The Polish General Charter of Jewish Liberties (1264) granted religious and legal autonomy to Jews, while the Warsaw Confederation (1573) guaranteed freedom of worship to all free persons within Poland-Lithuania. We will study the legislation that provided liberties and protection from persecution to members of different religious communities. We will also examine the relationships between these communities, investigating how their close proximity influenced shared or contested geographical spaces, such as places of worship and cemeteries, competition for resources, and efforts to establish religiously homogeneous “towns” or districts. Our study will include buildings, artworks, and artifacts created by these communities, tracing mutual influences and patterns of representation.
AS.001.120 (01)	FYS: U.S. History of the Present	TTh 4:30PM - 5:45PM	Brann, Allon Yagoda	Gilman 413	Fall 2025	Which ideas, movements, problems, and conflicts define the contemporary United States—and where did they come from? In this First-Year Seminar, we’ll study the history of this country since the turn of the 21st century to try to answer those questions. Using a range of texts and visual media, we’ll investigate the history behind concepts like "the War on Terror," “the free market,” “identity politics,” “culture wars,” and "populism," and discuss the causes and consequences of the debates they provoked in this period. We’ll also assess what’s appealing and challenging about studying the very recent past and using it to interpret our present.
AS.001.232 (01)	FYS: German Thought, German Theater: Reason, Capital, Sex and Science	W 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Jelavich, Peter	Jenkins 102	Fall 2025	Over the past 250 years, Germany has produced some of the most influential currents of theory as well as drama. In this course, we will read and view plays and films that address developments in German thought and society from the Enlightenment to the present. We will ask: How effective are performances at transmitting ideas and values? How do they balance emotional involvement with intellectual understanding? These issues will be examined with respect to four themes: reason and enlightenment; capitalism; sexualities; and moral dilemmas raised by scientific discoveries.
AS.001.256 (01)	FYS: Monuments and Memory in Asian History	Th 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Meyer-Fong, Tobie	Gilman 308	Fall 2025	Sites like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, and Angkor Wat conjure images that often have more to do with fantasy than fact. Modern monuments like Yasukuni Shrine and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial similarly evoke history, memory, and myth. Why (and how) were these monuments built? How have their meanings changed over time and why? What forces have transformed them into symbols of national identity and cultural otherness? This First-Year Seminar will explore the ritual, political, historical, and religious significance of monumental sites in Asia. We will also examine their more recent role as sites for political mobilization, as signifiers of cultural and national identities, and as commodities in global and local tourism.
AS.001.273 (01)	FYS: The Long Civil Rights Movement in 20th-Century America	W 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Wright Rigueur, Leah M	SNF Agora 107	Fall 2025	This First-Year Seminar traces the development of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States over the course of the 20th Century. By exploring some of the major sites of conflict, activism, protest, opposition, and resistance in modern African American History, we will begin to complicate traditional understandings of Black freedom struggles in the United States. Why and how did African Americans mobilize and organize for their rights? How did they imagine citizenship, Black freedom, and equality within the United States? How did these events impact public life and public policy? What are the legacies of the movement? Students will analyze a broad range of primary and secondary source materials, including the writings of W.E.B. DuBois, Booker T. Washington, Fannie Lou Hamer, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., and more. Additionally, students will watch a series of civil rights films related to the broad themes of the course and will visit local museums and archives as part of a larger experiential component, to better understand the significance of the modern Civil Rights Movement on contemporary American society and culture.
AS.001.276 (01)	FYS: Friends or Foes?

Topics include but are not limited to: NATO, arms limitations and reduction, the Polish Crisis, Chernobyl, Gorbachev, German unification, collapse of the Soviet Union, 9/11 and the GWOT, the financial crisis of 2008-2012, Ukraine, the EU, the rise of China and climate change. The seminar includes a visit to the Delegation of the European Union in DC and other conversations with experts.
AS.010.358 (01)	The Art of Celebration in Early Modern Northern Europe	TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Slater, Alexis Diane	Gilman 177	Fall 2025	The lavish feasts and dynamic jousts associated with medieval and Renaissance celebrations have long been subjects of fascination in popular culture and will be familiar to anyone who has watched House of the Dragon or attended a modern “Renaissance” fair. But what did these celebrations mean in their original context? This course aims to take “play” seriously by examining the wide-ranging material culture of courtly and civic festivities in Germany and the Netherlands from 1400 to 1600. The art created for festive events ranges from panel paintings and tapestries to table fountains and drinking vessels made of expensive and “exotic” materials. Artists were also responsible for the design and construction of ephemeral architecture for triumphal entries as well as the festival books that commemorated them. But these works did more than just facilitate fun; they were tools of communication that made arguments about issues such as social class, identity, and power. They also engaged with the geopolitical and intellectual developments of the period. There are drinking vessels, for instance, made of nautilus shells, Seychelles nuts, or bezoars, whose materials and construction offer insight into global exploration and European colonialism as well as medicinal practices. Automata, machines akin to premodern “robots,” frequently provided entertainment for guests at aristocratic banquets by showing off the latest technological developments. While the study of any historical event faces the daunting task of recuperating what has been lost to time, this rings especially true for the study of festivities. In this course, we turn to these celebrations’ artistic and material traces to illuminate the past. As object-based learning is an important component of this course, we will visit several local collections including the Walters Art Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the National Gallery in Washington, and Johns Hopkins’ Special Collections.
AS.010.431 (01)	Obsessed with the Past: the Art and Architecture of Medieval Rome	M 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Zchomelidse, Nino	Gilman 177	Fall 2025	In antiquity, Rome became the capital of an empire, its growing status reflected in its sophisticated urban planning, its architecture, and the arts. While an abundance of studies explores the revival of this glorious past in the Renaissance, this seminar discusses various ways of the reception of antiquity during the medieval period. We address the practice of using spolia in medieval architecture, the appropriation of ancient pagan buildings for the performance of Christian cult practices, the continuation of making (cult)images and their veneration, the meaning and specific visuality of Latin script (paleography and epigraphy) in later medieval art. We discuss the revival and systematic study of ancient knowledge (f. ex. medicine, astronomy, and the liberal arts), in complex allegorical murals. As we aim to reconstruct the art and architecture of medieval Rome, this course discusses ideas and concepts behind different forms of re-building and picturing the past, as they intersect with the self-referential character of a city that is obsessed with its own history.
AS.010.497 (01)	Reply-All: Letter-Writing in Art and History	W 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Brown, Rebecca Mary	Gilman 177	Fall 2025	From embellished silver pens and abolitionist secretary desks to contemporary artists manipulating historical postcards and making fax collages, this course will explore the materiality, technologies, and aesthetics of written communications from the 18th century to the present. This research-centered course will engage directly with objects in the Baltimore Museum of Art collection, in preparation for an upcoming exhibition. Topics include the development of specific decorative arts and designs in conjunction with eighteenth- and nineteenth-century postal and bureaucratic history, letter-writing as a mode of resistance, strategic illegibility and asemic writing as a form of critical artistic practice, and the importance of mail art as conceptual and institutional critique. Includes hands-on work in the museum and class visits with BMA curator Dr. Leslie Cozzi.

This course introduces students to the birth of global consumer culture in the period from the 1600s through to the American, French and Haitian revolutions. These revolutions were themselves sold to consumers through “revolutionary things”, and this period witnessed the first major consumer boycotts against slave-produced goods. Students will examine the histories of many key commodities involved in the “consumer revolution”, including fashion items such as shoes, wigs, clothing and accessories. A significant portion of the course will examine addictive stimulants like sugar, coffee, tea and tobacco, globalized and imperial goods which became common for the first time in this period. We shall see how production of these goods involved new forms of racialized exploitation; simultaneously, we shall explore the diversity of people involved in the consumer revolution, studying the consumption of important new goods by people living in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. By the end of the class, students will understand how the emergence of mass consumption affected the global politics of race, gender and class, with especially important consequences for women and non-elite men.

We shall begin by asking “What is history?” and explicate the basic concepts such as “fact”, “event”, “source”, narrative”, “evidence”, etc. We shall inquire if history can teach lessons for the future, or, for that matter, any lessons at all. We shall explore the interactions of history and collective memory and discuss various social, political, and psychological uses and abuses of historical writing.
AS.100.329 (01)	Animals in Chinese and Japanese History	TTh 3:00PM - 4:15PM	Sampias, Wesley Jordan	Gilman 75	Fall 2025	Everyday, we all have encounters with animals: the mosquito that bites our arm, the rat that runs in front of us on the sidewalk, the dog that greets us upon our return home. These interactions are quotidian, but rarely reflected in the histories that we read. In this class, we will bring the animal back into the narratives that we tell by considering history from a multispecies perspective. Taking the examples of China and Japan, we will see how animals, both real and metaphoric, played a critical role in the political, economic, religious, and social lives of our historical, human, actors. We will see how the inclusion of animals in history bolsters and challenges history as it has been written and gain a deeper understanding of how our current mores regarding animals came to be. Our class will begin with a discussion of Japan and China in the 17th century and end with contemporary controversies surrounding Japanese whaling and shark fin soup. Throughout the course we will consider the ethical and philosophical ramifications of our inquiries like the agency of non-human animals. Designed for upper-level undergraduate students interested in the history of East Asia, prior knowledge of the region will be useful but is not required.

Hodson 313	Fall 2025	This course explores the development of English law and the English legal tradition from the Norman Conquest through the English Revolution (ca. 1066-1688). We will begin by tracing the impact of the Norman Conquest of England and examine the origins and development of English legal and political institutions such as kingship, the common law, the evolution of legal procedure, and the court and jury system, ideas of franchise, treason and the emergence of Parliament. We will also consider how English law constructs legal categories including aliens, women, heirs, traitors as well as the legal framework for the emergence of the English Church under the Tudors. When applicable the implications of these institutions for developments in the contemporary American and British legal systems will be addressed.
AS.100.395 (01)	History of Global Development	T 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Lurtz, Casey Marina	Smokler Center 213	Fall 2025	This course explores development as an ideology and a practice. From colonialism to the Cold War to contemporary NGOs, we will interrogate the history of our attempts to improve the world. This iteration of the course will have a particular focus on the intersections between development and the environment. Graduate students welcome.
AS.100.407 (01)	Freedom and Unfreedom in the Premodern World, 500BCE-1000CE (Part 1)	Th 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Lester, Anne E.		Fall 2025	What did it mean to be free in the premodern world? What did it mean to be a serf or enslaved? How was freedom and unfreedom experienced differently based on gender, geography, religion and space? This two-semester course will explore the social history of slavery, freedom, and ‘unfreedom,’ that is, constraints placed on individuals and groups and the structuring role of such constraints. We will consider together an array of source materials spanning law codes, personal narratives, manumission cases, chronicles, histories, and hagiography, but also including a close examination of non-written sources. How did practices of slavery and unfreedom during the Greek and Roman periods come to shape an understanding of those categories in Europe and the Islamic world by ca. 1000CE? What role did trade and the movement of people play in this transition? Are slavery and empire intimately connected? An emphasis is also given to how scholars have written about slavery, manumission, and freedom in the past and how power, difference, and ideals of freedom have been theorized over time. This seminar meets once a week. Students should be prepared to discuss course materials and will be asked to keep a reading journal as well as notes from class discussion. This is the first of a two-semester sequence. Part I: the Ancient and Medieval Period (ca. 500BCE-1000CE); Part II (to be taught in the spring of 2026): the Medieval and Early Modern World (ca. 1000-1500CE)

AS.213.364 (01)	Truth and Lies in the Languages of Politics	TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Frey, Christiane	Gilman 479	Fall 2025	Fake facts, conspiracy theories, outright lies: have we entered a new era of “post-truth”? Some claim that deception has always been a part of political processes, that objectivity is an illusion, that every “fact” is made, formed, fashioned, constructed (“fact” comes from the same Latin root as “fiction”). Others insist that without a distinction between truth and lie, all politics is a farce, and look to fact-checking and evidence for guidance. Who is right? And what assumptions are at the basis of this perhaps overly-simple binarism? In order to get a grasp on these questions, we will explore the theme and the concept of lying in literature, philosophy, and current media, with an emphasis on political language. We will read literary texts by Heinrich von Kleist, Herman Melville, Thomas Mann, the much-discussed GDR novel “Jacob the Liar,” political philosophy by Plato, Machiavelli, Kant, Nietzsche (“On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense”), Simone Weil, Hannah Arendt, and Nina Schick’s 2020 exposé “Deep Fakes: The Coming Infocalypse.” We will apply what we learn from these readings to fake news and social media in order to develop new skills of dealing with manipulative language. Taught in English (with the option of a section in German).
AS.213.364 (02)	Truth and Lies in the Languages of Politics	TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Frey, Christiane	Gilman 479	Fall 2025	(German language section of this course.) Fake facts, conspiracy theories, outright lies: have we entered a new era of “post-truth”?

AS.214.479 (01)	Dante Visits the Afterlife	MW 1:30PM - 2:45PM	Saiber, Arielle	Gilman 119	Fall 2025	One of the greatest works of literature of all times, the Divine Comedy leads us down into the torture-pits of Hell, up the steep mountain terrain of Purgatory, through the “virtual” space of Paradise, and then back to where we began: our own earthly lives. We accompany Dante on his journey, building along the way knowledge of medieval Italian history, literature, philosophy, politics, and religion. The course also focuses on the arts of reading deeply, asking questions of a text, and interpreting literary and scholarly works through discussion and critical writing. Conducted in English. For undergraduate students only.

It focuses on the historical experience, intellectual ideas, theories, and cultural production of African-descended people. We will consider how people of the black diaspora remember and encounter Africa. We will explore, too, how such people have lived, spoken, written, and produced art about colonialism and enslavement, gender and mobility, violence and pleasure. This course will be thematically organized and invite you to center your own stories about black people within your understanding of the modern world and its making.
AS.363.201 (01)	Introduction to the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality	T 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Hindmarch-Watson, Katherine Anne	Gilman 400	Fall 2025	This course will serve as an intensive introduction to contemporary approaches to theories of gender and sexuality, and their relationship to cultural production and politics. Students will develop a historically situated knowledge of the development of feminist and queer scholarship in the 20th and 21st centuries, and consider the multiply intersecting forces which shape understandings of sexual and gender identity. We will consider both foundational questions (What is gender? Who is the subject of feminism? What defines queerness?) and questions of aesthetic and political strategy, and spend substantial time engaging with feminist and queer scholarship in comparative contexts. Students will be introduced to debates in Black feminism, intersectionality theory, third world feminism, socialist feminism, queer of colour critique, and trans* theory. We will read both canonical texts and recent works of scholarship, and the final weeks of the course will be devoted to thinking with our theoretical and historical readings against a selection of feminist and queer literature and cinema. No prior familiarity with the study of gender and sexuality is necessary.
AS.363.201 (02)	Introduction to the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality		Gill Peterson, Jules		Fall 2025	This course will serve as an intensive introduction to contemporary approaches to theories of gender and sexuality, and their relationship to cultural production and politics.

AS.363.333 (01)	Poetics and Politics of Sex: The Queer/Trans Underground ?	Th 2:30PM - 5:00PM	Amin, Kadji		Fall 2025	What does it mean that until relatively recently, the center of queer/trans culture was the underground – a metaphorical space of illegality – and what are the political possibilities of such illegality? This seminar will consider how Black/trans fugitivity and interracial sex, trans identity theft and forgery, black market hormones and silicone injections, sex work, and mood-altering drugs defined same-sex desiring and gender-variant cultures during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Far from being a lawless place, we will analyze how life in the underground, including stints in prison, concretely shaped gender and sexual possibilities, subcultural codes of conduct, and practices of community-making.
AS.389.140 (01)	Antiquity and Its Afterlives: Books, Art, and Culture from Ancient Greece and Rome to the Modern Era	W 3:00PM - 5:30PM	Havens, Earle A; Michalek, Martin William	BLC 2043	Fall 2025	This course explores the surviving “objects” of the ancient Greco-Roman world, and the histories of their excavation, organization, and preservation in museum and library collections. From ancient objects and sculptures, ancient Greek papyri, scrolls, and late-antique and medieval books, to the revival of Greek and Roman traditions in the Renaissance and Enlightenment, we will learn how these objects help shape and transform our understanding of the ancient world over two millennia, up to the formation of the great antiquities museums of the modern era. This hands-on course will take advantage of ancient objects and texts in Baltimore, at the Walters Art Museum, the Baltimore Museum of Art, as well as the Archaeology Museum at JHU and the rare book and manuscript collections of the Sheridan Libraries at JHU.
AS.389.201 (01)	Introduction to the Museum: Past and Present	TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Kingsley, Jennifer P	Gilman 17	Fall 2025	This course surveys museums, from their origins to their most contemporary forms, in the context of broader historical, intellectual, and cultural trends including the social movements of the 20th century. Anthropology, art, history, and science museums are considered.
AS.389.313 (01)	Data and the Digital in Museums	TTh 9:00AM - 10:15AM	McGinn, Emily	BLC 4040	Fall 2025	Digital media play an increasingly significant role in museums from how museums share and narrate their collections online to the use of AI to catalog things and create metadata about them. This class explores critically how digital tools work to tell stories and invites students to unpack the resulting museum narratives. Students will learn by doing, creating a digital exhibit of five museum objects using Omeka and later transforming their exhibits by creating data of their own design to tell a new story about their objects. This new narrative will apply critical perspectives considered in the course such as, but not limited to, repatriation, critical cataloging, and geo-politics.
