This course will deal with a variety of topics from Russian, European, and American history. One specific topic, e.g. the Russian Revolution, will be taught in any semester.

A critical analysis of selected topics or issues in European history which are not otherwise offered in the standard catalog courses.

A survey from the Roman era to the present with emphasis on the post-medieval period. Topics include the emergence of a unified state, dynastic rivalries, the economy, overseas expansion and empire, constitutional development, the 'New State' of Salazar, the revolution of 1974, and post-revolutionary Portugal.

Seminars will be offered variously in topics in non-European World History. The writing of a substantial paper will be required. Content will vary with instructor; may be repeated with change of content.
