	HIST148 PO - The Middle East in Europe and Europe in the Middle East: 1798-2017 When Offered: Last offered spring 2018. Instructor(s): H. Rezai Credit: 1 In public discourse in Europe and the US, centuries of social, political, and cultural encounters between diverse Middle Eastern societies and the West are often reduced to interactions between the so-called homogenous religious culture of Islam and heterogeneous secular cultures of the West. At the same time, in some countries of the Middle East the West is reduced to its colonial past and to its military and technological superiority. The aim of this course is to examine the multiple historical aspects of encounters and exchanges between these regions since the late 18th century. Our journey will start with foundational works that mark the beginning of the era of enlightenment, which is characterized by rationalism, secularism, and individualism and which transformed Europe and the world. We will investigate how this progress, alongside the technological revolution, led to the gradual domination of the West across the globe, including in the Middle East. This course will explore a range of conceptual models to investigate how Middle Eastern intellectuals and societies have responded to colonialism, nationalism, socialism, democracy, freedom, and citizenship. Furthermore, we will examine the implications of these historical debates for countries like Sudan, Egypt, Iran, and Turkey in the present. Letter grade only.

We will pay particular attention to how scholars of history employ evidence and structure their narratives. Furthermore, we will explore how in their construction of historical narratives they borrow from other disciplines, such as philosophy, sociology, critical theory, and anthropology. Alongside our theoretical and methodological journey, we will also travel intellectually to a variety of regions like Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, investigating different historiographies to learn how scholars across regions inform each other’s works.

	HIST189E PO - Muslims in Europe When Offered: One-time only; spring 2019. Instructor(s): H. Rezai Credit: 1 Although the encounter between Europe and Muslims has a relatively long history, the settlement of the vast majority of Middle Eastern Muslims in Europe started in the era after World War II. Today Muslims from different ethnic, political, and social backgrounds constitute over 4 percent of the population of the European Union. The nearly century-long migration of an increasing number of guest workers, professionals, and asylum seekers to countries like Germany, France, Sweden, and Great Britain has established Muslims as a large minority in several EU countries. Yet the growing presence of Muslims in European societies in recent years due to escalating violent conflicts, imperialist intervention, sectarian rifts, and terrorist attacks, triggered heated debates about citizenship, racism, integration and the place of Islam and Muslims in Europe. It also gave rise to a growing right-wing mobilization and anti-Muslim animosity, with surprising similarities to the anti-Semitic propaganda of the past. In this course we will examine questions like this: What are the historical, economic, and political reasons for the migration of the Muslims to Europe? Why are some groups of Muslims in the EU integrated, while others are marginalized? Are Muslims equally represented in European democracies? If not, what are the obstacles that prevent Muslim minorities from participation and institutional access? Letter grade only.

Offered upon request; permission of instructor required.
	ID199P1PO - Independent Study: Persian 1 When Offered: Fall 2018. Instructor(s): Staff Credit: 0.5 Pomona’s Self Instructional Language Program (SILP) provides students with an opportunity to study less-commonly taught languages via a program that combines independent study of selected texts and audio-visual materials with conversation and drill sessions with a native speaker “coach.” An instructor with a terminal degree in the language or a related field and who is engaged in teaching the language at an accredited college or university both designs the course and undertakes student assessment. Students then spend two contact hours per week in class sessions with a native speaker “coach.” Courses are 0.5 credit, P/NC. Attendance is mandatory and the course includes a midterm, final and oral exam. Attendance at Oldenborg language tables is required. For more information, consult the SILP page on the Oldenborg website: here.
