Election Studies
Election Studies is a one-trimester deep dive into the 2026 midterm elections in the United States and maybe some around the world. Our class will engage with diverse perspectives surrounding public policy and the future of American politics. Further, we will also look at the history of elections in the United States as a lens to see into the present. This class is about engagement, if you do not like politics or history it is not recommended for you. Be prepared for intense discussion, hard questions, and be open to different perspectives.
Native American History
This elective course provides a general introductory overview of Native Americans within the fields of history, anthropology, literature, and political science. This course introduces students to the diverse perspectives concerning Native Americans and promotes a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding indigenous rights, culture, and histories.
Revealing Lies in History
This elective course explores the relationship between the creation of personal and collective memory and the production of history. The seminar will examine the tensions between memory and history, using some of the most acclaimed recent history books. Students will think critically about memoirs and autobiographies, oral histories and personal reminiscences, festivities and holidays of commemoration, historical memory in popular culture, and family lore and stories. What receives the privilege of being remembered and what gets deliberately forgotten constitutes the essence of what we know as history.
World History
The purpose of this course is to give the student a better understanding of the complex global community that we live and participate in on a daily basis. Throughout this two trimester course, students will be looking at many aspects of our global community as they relate to political, economic, historical, geographical, religious, and cultural themes as they relate to global studies.
