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
