Dear History majors,   I wrote this morning about Ambassador Tsilas’s section of Hist 392W.  There are some other excellent new courses this fall that I wanted to tell you about.   New to our faculty this year is Prof. Deirdre Cooper Owens.  She earned her Ph.D. at UCLA, specializing in the history of slavery and early immigration in the U.S.  Her new course, Hist 200: Slavery in the U.S., will build on her original research.  Professor Cooper Owens is also teaching 277 and 278 this year – the two-part sequence on African-American history.  All of the above would satisfy the US concentration.  Check em out!   Also, Prof. Sergei Antonov will return to teach a section of Hist 200: Introduction to Legal History.  This is an ideal course for those of you who are interested in law school – it will satisfy the European history concentration.   Finally, Myles Mcdonnell will be teaching the two-semester sequence in ancient Roman history next year – Hist 206 in the fall and Hist 208 in the spring.  Prof. Mcdonnell (Ph.D. Columbia) is a distinguished scholar of ancient history – the author of _Roman Manliness_ (Cambridge Univ Press).  He’s also a QC alumnus who was instrumental in the student occupation of Kiely Hall in the 60s – so he should have lots of great stories to tell in the course of his courses!  Highly recommended!   Best, Prof. Allen     Joel Allen Associate Professor and Chair History Department, Queens College Flushing, NY 11367 office: 718-997-5350 fax: 718-997-5359
