HTY 202 - Medieval Civilization
What were the Middle Ages in the middle of? How did “medieval” become synonymous with “ignorant” and “barbaric”? These questions will be on our minds as we survey European history from the late Roman Empire through the fifteenth century, examining developments in political, religious, and cultural fields. Even as we aspire to cover huge swaths of geography and history, we will also pause to investigate individual case studies and telling details. Eschewing caricature and conventional wisdom, we will explore the many varieties of medieval civilization, emphasizing the complex lessons and legacies that this period offers for the modern world.

While it is impossible to cover the whole of the discipline of history, students will be introduced to a wide and varied selection of subject matter, including politics and political discourse, armed conflicts and mass atrocities, nature and the environment, race and ethnicity, Indigenous peoples, labor and the working class, and gender.

HTY 251 - Technology and Society from Ancient Times till the Present
A survey of the history of Western technology and, to a lesser extent, non-Western technology from ancient times till the present. The course covers major developments both ‘internally” – as tools and machines” – and “externally” as related to the societies which have produced them and upon they in turn have had impact. Thus HTY 251 is not an old-fashioned and one-sided “nuts and bolts” course. Instead HTY 251 examines the complex relationship between (1) technological change and (2) social, cultural, economic, and political change as each has affected the other over. Old-fashioned “nuts and bolts” history of technology courses invariably assume that virtually all technological developments constitute “progress” and often make technological “progress” the measure of all things. By contrast, HTY 251 repeatedly asks if that traditional simplistic equation between technological advances and social, cultural, economic, and political advances is accurate or if it might be rethought in various instances over the course of history.

HTY 261 - New England and Eastern Canada Since 1815: A Transnational Region
This course examines the historical development of the geographical areas now referred to as New England and Eastern Canada from 1815, the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812, the last major Anglo-American conflict, to the present. An emphasis will be placed on exploring New England and Eastern Canada as a transnational region in the making, where there have been more historical similarities than differences in spite of the gradual hardening of borders between countries, states, and provinces. The course will follow a rough chronology, and cover topics such as building borders, political institutions, and identities, economic pursuits like agriculture, forestry, and fishing, sporting cultures, women’s suffrage, civil rights, environmental movements, and indigenous resurgences.

HTY 265 - The Power of Maps
Humans have been making maps for thousands of years, but never before were maps as present in everyday life as they are today. Just think of the GPS in cars and the locator apps on our phones. It is more important than ever that we understand maps, how they are made, and how they have shaped society, from guiding imperial expansion to influencing urban development, land use, tourism, and surveillance. This course teaches students the history of maps and map-making from the first rock carvings of ancient cities to Google Earth and smart bombs. Major topics will include how maps have been essential tools for government, warfare, territorial control, social and economic planning, and artistic expression. We will explore how map-making technology has changed over time, the drive for increasing accuracy, and how the design of maps reflects the cultures that produce them. Students will also learn how to make their own maps to tell a spatial historical narrative. Most broadly, this course will teach students how to read maps as rich documents that are fascinating windows on the past. If this course was taken under as a topics course in HTY 398, it cannot be repeated for credit.
