<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif;color:#444444;background:white">This 2-credit, C/NC colloquium is designed to be taken in conjunction with the History Lecture Series for Winter of 2023, “Medieval Made Modern.”
Both the series and the colloquium are focused on the ongoing reinterpretation of characters from the European Middle Ages. “Medievalism,” as it is called in academic circles, is a hot topic nowadays. As a culture, we are literally surrounded by symbols and
images taken from the medieval period, as is evident from the multi-genre popularity of Tolkien’s <em><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif">Lord of the Rings</span></em> and Martin’s <em><span style="font-family:"Open Sans",sans-serif">Game of Thrones</span></em>.
However, we not alone in this. Theologians, politicians, artists and advertisers have been reimagining the Middle Ages ever since 1500 CE, when the medieval period is usually regarded as having ended. We are, in fact, the beneficiaries of literally centuries
of reinterpreting the period and its inhabitants—to such an extent indeed that the Middle Ages to which we are responding often bears little resemblance to what the medieval persons in question would recognize as their own experience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>HSTCMP 408/JSIS B 408 "Capitalist Crises in Historical Perspective." (5 cr., SSc, WF 1030AM-1220 PM) Taught by Prof. Mark Metzler.</b><br>
<br>
This course explores selected topics in the history of capitalism in a global, multi-century perspective.
<br>
<br>
<b><i> Winter 2023 Course Topic: Capitalist Crises in Historical Perspective</i></b><br>
<br>
We live in an age of colossal financial bubbles and crashes. History has tremendous power to clarify these events. <br>
This course begins by looking at the globalized economic crises in the late 19<sup><span style="font-size:9.0pt">th</span></sup> century and then surveys the world depression of the 1930s. The remainder of the course surveys the crises from the 1970s to the
present. Along the way, we also look at some classic theories of crisis. The course concludes with a fast-research project focused on an aspect of the current economic crisis or on a selected historical crisis. Graduate students will conclude with a longer
paper on an aspect of economic crisis that intersects with their own research program.<br>
<br>
The course follows an in-person format and is primarily seminar (discussion) based with some lecture material intermixed. Please be prepared to participate actively in presentation and discussion work. <br>
