LIST GRADUATE COURSES
HIST 590 - ST: Native American History to Removal (3) (Boucher)
A chronological survey in Native American History north of Mexico to removal. Students will re-assess the role American Indians have played in the history of the region and question enduring Western myths and biases about the subject matter. This course will also introduce students to ethnohistory and provide them with a historiographical knowledge of the subject matter.

HIST 592 - ST: Colonialism and Nationalism in India (3) (Diamond)
From the development of the British Empire to the politics of Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian subcontinent has been an influential part of global history. This course examines the impact of colonialism, nationalism, and religious and social movements on the lives of women and men in the region since 1750. We will consider broader historical themes within the Indian context, such as gender, that have transnational significance. Readings of both primary and secondary materials and films will provide an introduction to the region and serve as the basis for thought provoking discussions.

592.090
History 592: Colonial Brazil
This course will introduce graduate students to the development of colonial Brazilian society, slavery, and race using principal works in English. The assignments do not assume a knowledge of Portuguese; however, Spanish and Portuguese are essential for further study of Latin America. Colonial Brazil was simultaneously connected with Europe, Africa, and to other parts of Latin America while it developed into a unique society in the Americas

Students will write weekly reviews of the readings and also write a 10-15 page research paper on an aspect of a movement.
