[HistoryUndergrads] W21 HIST 100W and 190 Courses

[Michelle Spivey]

Dear All,

I hope you are doing well! I just wanted to remind you to enroll in 100Ws and 190s today if you plan to take either course in the winter quarter. After the fee payment deadline, the 100Ws and 190s will not have major priorities. (Note: It is recommended that you don't take both in the same quarter.)

The following classes have quite a few seats available.

History   100W     GALILEO ON TRIAL      (Prerequisites<https://www.reg.uci.edu/cob/prrqcgi?term=202103&dept=HISTORY&action=view_by_term#100W>)

    Enrollment in History 100W will be restricted to History Majors until the fee deadline on December 15, 2020.

In 1633, Galileo was brought before the Inquisition in Rome.  He was forced to recant, his most recent publication was put on the Index of Forbidden Books, and he spent the rest of his life under house arrest.  Why was Galileo condemned?  We will answer this question by exploring the events leading up to and following Galileo's condemnation, as well as historians'' assessments of Galileo's encounters with the Inquisition.

History   190     WOMEN&GENDER CHINA      (Prerequisites<https://www.reg.uci.edu/cob/prrqcgi?term=202103&dept=HISTORY&action=view_by_term#190>)

    Enrollment in History 190 will be restricted to History Majors until the fee deadline on December 15, 2020.

This is reading seminar designed for upper-division students. It will focus on recent scholarship (mostly monographic writings) on the history of women and sexuality in late imperial/early modern China. The seminar participants will take turns in leading the class discussions. You are not expected to lead the entire session for three hours, but you should prepare a set of discussion questions related to the readings for the week you have chosen to lead. Starting from the second week, the discussion questions should be distributed via email to every seminar participant one day before the class meets.
Participants will write one book review (4-5 pages) and a term paper of roughly ten pages in length.
The term paper, due on the Wednesday of the finals week, should be a historiography essay on one of the topics covered in the seminar (or at least loosely related to the course). You may choose any topic you wish, but the essay should be a critically imaginative piece that reflects your own view of the topic you have decided to present, and of the historical scholarship—with its accomplishments and failings—so far devoted to that subject. Obviously, you need to go beyond the materials assigned in class in order to make such a scholarly assessment. I will be ready to discuss the selection of the topic beforehand with you, especially after the first book review is completed. In many cases, the topic will quite simply be one of those you have taken on as the discussant to report to the seminar.


Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck with your finals!

Best,
Michelle
