by Joel Allen 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Dear History majors, I wanted to let you know that three 700-level History courses for this coming spring semester will be open to qualified undergraduates. If you are interested in any of these courses, let me know, and I can review your transcript to see if you qualify. (In most cases, permission to take these courses will require a 3.0 GPA in undergraduate History courses, plus either Hist 101 or 102.) If approved, you can come into the department to register. The courses are as follows: Hist 710: Alexander the Great, Prof. O'Brien, Mondays, 4:30-6:10, RZ 109. Concentration: ancient and premodern history. Hist 795: Five Crises in European History, Prof. Pine, Wednesdays, 6:30-8:10, PH 156. Concentration: European history. (The "five crises" in question would be the French Revolution; the revolutions of 1848; Bismarck and the unification of Germany; the origins of WWI; and Hitler and the Holocaust.) Hist 799: Europe since 1945, Prof. Alteras, Mondays, 4:30-6:10, PH 157. Concentration: European history. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, Prof. Allen Joel Allen Associate Professor and Chair History Department, Queens College Flushing, NY 11367 office: 718-997-5383 fax: 718-997-5359

by Joel Allen 10 Dec '12

Dear History Majors, Read on for an advertisement from the college for a Winter study abroad course -- Doing Business in India. This would not be for History credit (rather, it's either BALA or Economics), but it sounds like a wonderful opportunity, nonetheless. Perhaps it would work for some of you.

[History undergraduates] reminder (yet again) about pre-registration for 392W
by Joel Allen 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Dear Students, You're probably tired of receiving these emails from me, but I wanted to remind you one last time that pre-registration for 392W begins on Monday, Oct 29, at 9am. If you're a junior or senior, give serious consideration to whether or not you'd like to complete this requirement in Spring, 2013, or later down the road. If you want it next semester, be sure to take advantage of the pre-registration period. Best, Prof. Allen Joel Allen Associate Professor and Chair History Department, Queens College Flushing, NY 11367 office: 718-997-5383 fax: 718-997-5359

[History undergraduates] upper division non-western courses for Spring, 2013
by Joel Allen 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Dear History majors, As you know, if you declared the History major after Fall, 2010, then included among your requirements is an upper division course in non-western history. We have a new information sheet in the department that lists all courses that satisfy that requirement in Spring, 2013, but I wanted to give you the list here as well. 1) Hist 166: Truth Commissions in Comparative Perspective. Prof. Davie. W, 1:40-4:30, in KY 417. NOTE: The dept has decided to allow Hist 166 for this requirement, even though the number is below 200. In general, we're working to change the requirement so that any non-western course at or over Hist 160 would count. 2) Hist 200.03: Inside Arab-Israeli Relations. Prof. Rosenblum. Tues, 3:05-5:45, in PH 156 3) Hist 200.05: The Mongols and Global History. Prof. Rossabi. Thurs, 2:50-5:00, in the Rubin Museum of Art. Note that this class is in Manhattan and will make use of the museum collections -- it's a wonderful opportunity if you can fit it into your schedule. 4) Hist 200.06: The Decolonization of Africa. Prof. County. Tues-Thurs, 1:40-2:55, in RZ 109. 5) Hist 200w.02: The History of the Bukharian Jews. Prof. Rybakov. Wed, 6:30-9:20, in KY 417. 6) Hist 294: The History of Brazil. Prof. Chazkel. Tues, 6:30-9:20, PH 156. Any of the above would satisfy the requirement for upper division non-western. Best, Prof. Allen Joel Allen Associate Professor and Chair History Department, Queens College Flushing, NY 11367 office: 718-997-5383 fax: 718-997-5359
