Now is the Time to Ask for Add Codes for Junior and Senior Seminars in Autumn 2026 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hello, Historians- Too many students wait until the last minute to ask for add codes for History Junior and Senior Seminars. The only way to get into the class is to get one of the limited number of add codes. Don't be left on the waiting list or having to stay an additional quarter before finishing your last requirements. Look through the descriptions and instructions below and ask for the add code for the Autumn 2026 required History Seminars! ***** If you intend to take a History Junior or Senior Seminar, now is the time to ask for an add code for the course you would like to take! I know that both Tracy and I have said to almost every new major that you need to plan ahead to get an add code for these class, since they fill up so quickly. Now is the time! Here are descriptions (below) from the faculty of each Junior and Senior Seminar offered in Autumn 2026 to help you make registration choices. The full Autumn Time Schedule has been released, but you should assume that there will be changes in the months before the quarter actually starts. We recommend students have completed at least two 300-400 level History courses before taking HSTRY 388. Students need to have taken HSTRY 388 before they are eligible to get an add code in HSTRY 494 or 498. If you want to add one of these courses, email the History Advising address (histadv@uw.edu) to be given an add code or to be put on the waiting list. Please remember to give clear information about which section you want to add, and also include your name and UW student number. These classes fill VERY quickly, so request your add codes sooner than later. Junior Seminars HSTRY 388 A Topic: "Stalin and Stalinism" SLN: 16238 TTh 330-520PM Prof. Glennys Young In this seminar, we will read, talk, and write about some of the major issues concerning Stalin's leadership of the Soviet Union (ca. 1927-1953) and the creation of a Stalinist society, viewing these phenomena neither as examples of Russia's uniqueness nor of the tragic aberration of Soviet communism but as part of European and indeed world history. After examining some of the major issues concerning Stalin's rise to power and his "building of socialism" in the first half of the 1930s, we will shift our focus to the implications of the Stalinist model for global history in the twentieth century. Stalin and the Stalinist system he helped to create had a profound influence not only upon society and politics in the Soviet Union, but upon the rest of the world. Stalinism was one of the most important political models--and anti-models!--of the twentieth century. It became a positive model to those modernizing politicians around the world who saluted a political movement that sought (but did not achieve) total control in order to transform a "backward" nation into a modern world power. It became a negative model to those who condemned the horrible acts the Stalinist regime perpetrated in the quest for progress, in the quest to "build socialism." Between 1929 and 1945, more than 35 million Soviet citizens died prematurely from the Soviet state's forced collectivization of agriculture, terror, and its engagement in World War II. As well, Stalinism continues to inform discussion about the history and nature of the "welfare state." This is a Writing Credit course. *** HSTRY 388 C Topic: "War and Civil War in the US/ Mexico Borderlands" SLN: 16240 TTh 1030-1220 Prof. Raymond Jonas This course brings the histories of the US and Mexico into dialogue, focusing on the period between independence and the US Civil War. Both Mexico and the US were post-colonial societies, yet deep differences turned on the issues of sovereignty, slavery, race, religion, and settler colonialism. The borderlands were where these nations and their differences collided with devastating consequences. This is a Writing (W) course. ************************** Seniors Seminars HSTRY 494 A Topic: "Gender, Empire, and colonialism in Latin America" SLN: 16243 W 1230-220PM Prof. Sebastian Blas Over the course of this historiographic survey on imperial expansion and colonial encounters in Latin America, students will read and review academic texts that demonstrate or interrogate the social construction of gender and race in modern history. We shall examine imperial power relations at the level of the intimate: the home, the family, the body itself. We will consider how colonized and colonizing subjectivities continuously forged and reimagined institutions of empire as social enterprises constantly negotiated within the particularities of Latin America from the fifteenth century to the present day. Please keep in mind, however, that the countless regions and peoples of 'Latin America' are far too diverse and complex to cover in our limited time together. While we might approach something approximate to a cohesive narrative, remember that we are only glimpsing fragments and should aspire to only retain a basic overview of the historiography. Each week of our course will highlight broad analytical themes presented in chronological order. We will pay particular attention to the ways in which racialized and gendered bodies became sites of violent contestation from the early modern period into the present day. This is a Writing (W) course. *** HSTRY 494 C Topic: "Gender and Power in America" SLN: 16245 T 130-320 Prof. Bianca Dang This colloquium traces how historians have used gender as a category of analysis in studies of early American history. Students will read prominent works produced from the 1970s to the present which have utilized this form of analysis to consider U.S. history from the nation's founding through the American Civil War. This will allow students to engage with the major historiographical debates about the production of gendered power in early America. In doing so, students will examine how historians' scholarship is shaped as much by the concerns and debates of their own time as by the archival evidence on which they rely. By exploring how historians of different eras have approached the relationship between gender and power in U.S. history, this seminar highlights how the concept of gender itself has constantly been reconsidered and reformulated. Students will leave this class with an understanding of the impact of gendered power on social, political, and economic relations in early American history. They will also practice identifying how historians' own positionality and social context influences the questions they ask, the sources they use, and the conclusions they come to. This is a Writing (W) course. *** HSTRY 498 B Topic: "Revolutions and Societies" SLN: 22751 M 1030-1220 Prof. Sue Zhou This seminar explores "revolution" as a historical concept and its relationship to the circumstances of life. The readings, viewings, and discussions address the phenomenon of revolutions in the Age of Revolutions from the eighteenth century to the nineteenth century, and the permutations of socialist revolution in the twentieth century. We will also investigate the impact of different revolutions on forming distinctive ways of historical writing and incorporate such insights into the design of original primary research projects that engage the theme of revolution. This is a Writing (W) course.

At the bottom of this email are three different opportunities they?ve suggested for consideration, based on what your undergraduate and graduate students might be interested in. They are also open to engaging with faculty who would like to connect with the institute. (They did acknowledge that their visit falls outside the academic term, so they don?t expect high turnout.) If you are interested in any of these three event opportunities, please let me know, and I will put you in touch with my contact at the Roosevelt Institute. Also, please don't hesitate to pass this message along to anyone else who should be aware of these opportunities. In addition to the engagement events, they also have fellowship and internship opportunities that they want to ensure we?re aware of for our students. Please feel free to pass these along as you see fit: * Undergraduate fellowships: The Roosevelt Network develops and supports undergraduate college students and early career professionals to be the next generation of leaders in the progressive policy ecosystem. * Graduate Humanities Internship: This paid, remote, two-semester internship offers current graduate students in the humanities hands-on experience in key areas such as policy research, grant writing, and communications to create clear professional pathways for humanities students to launch meaningful future careers in public service. ENGAGEMENT EVENT OPTIONS Option 1: A Good Life Agenda Town Hall At the Roosevelt Institute, we believe that young people should play an important role in building a government that works for everyone: where prosperity and power are shared, security is guaranteed, and everyone has the agency to shape their own lives. Today, at this crucial inflection point for the future of our country, our Roosevelt on the Road program brings us into conversation with young people across the country whose futures are on the line. Connected to Roosevelt's upcoming Good Life Agenda report, this event will be a meaningful two-way conversation between students and Roosevelt Institute leadership about the experiences young people are having in the economy and with our democratic institutions, the kind of life they want to lead, and the ideas that a national organization like Roosevelt can champion in this moment. Option 2: Roundtable Conversation with Student Leaders (Undergraduate or Graduate Students) We haven't actually written up a formal description for one of these, but here are the kinds of conversation questions we've used in the past. Let me know if this is enough! These have been fairly small, like ~10 person discussions, with real back-and-forth and open conversation once we moved past some of these opening/framing questions. Questions for Roosevelt staff: ? Can you tell us a little bit about your background and career trajectory? How did you know you wanted to pursue a career in public service? * How do you think about leadership? What kind of leadership do you think is needed in government and the public service sector right now? * What made you take on the responsibility of organizational leadership? What have you liked about it? What do you struggle with? * What do you hope to accomplish during your time with the Roosevelt Institute? Or, more broadly, what is the Roosevelt Institute hoping to accomplish in the near future? Questions for the student leaders: ? What made you take on the responsibility of organizational leadership? What have you liked about it? What do you struggle with? * What do you think older generations generally need to understand better about your generation? What do you think older folks with access to policymakers need to understand about your generation? * What would make an intergenerational community feel powerful and supportive for you? Option 3: Careers in Law & Public Policy (for law students or pre-law students) The promotion for these in the past has mostly just included Elizabeth's bio, but here are the kinds of questions that she's talked through: ? Your public policy career started before law school, when you worked as a policy advisor in the White House Domestic Policy Council and as a political organizer for the Service Employees International Union 32BJ in New York City. How did those experiences inform your decision to go to law school and the career choices you made after? * There seems to be a perception among law students that you can pivot into policy roles/broader public service roles later in your career, after doing traditional legal work. Do you have advice for students interested in policy/public service and thinking about when to actually make the pivot? * What kinds of experiences, whether in the classroom, extracurriculars, or internships do you think are important for law students? * How have you used your law degree and legal education in the policy roles in which you?ve served? How has it helped you get those positions? * Can you tell us about your clerkship experiences with Justice Kagan and with Merrick Garland on the D.C. Circuit? o How did those experiences shape your career path? Would you recommend clerking for those who want to go into a policy-oriented career? * Can you tell us a little bit more about the Roosevelt Institute and your work there? Thank you!

Coming at an already troubling time, when many in our trans community are already feeling unsafe, it is important to know what resources might be available. Let's extend our care, sympathy, and solidarity with our trans community. Our colleagues at GWSS have shared a very useful set of resources that I am forwarding and sharing with all of you, please scroll down. Consider circulating widely, particularly with students, and do reach out if you think the diversity committee can help support you or assist in any other way.

This is a profound loss, and we stand against the violence that cut such a young life short. Many of us are carrying shock, anger, and fear in the wake of this tragedy. Please take gentle care of yourselves and one another in the days ahead. Reach out if you need support, whether from colleagues, friends, or campus resources. No one should move through this alone. A range of resources are available for you: * UW Safe Escort Services provides support for moving around campus, including Husky SafeTrip available at 206-685-9255 and NightRide shuttles at 206-685-3146. * UW Counseling Center provides a variety of options for support, including drop-in resources and the 24/7 Husky HelpLine. * Let's Talk at the Q Center is run by the Counseling Center on Wednesdays 2:30-4:00 this week and every week. * Support teams will be at Nordheim Court and in the affected student's classes beginning today, May 11th. * SafeCampus specialists are available to anonymously discuss safety and well-being concerns for yourself or others at 206-685-7233, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. You can also reach out via email at safecampus@uw.edu, * Husky Assist is the UW mobile response team that provides on-site and urgent support for students, faculty and staff in crisis on the UW campus. Husky Assist team members are trained mental health professionals who can respond compassionately to a variety of situations. Call 206-543-9331 or 911. * Faculty and staff can also access the Washington State Employee Assistance Program (WA EAP). This moment comes with a particular weight for our trans community, and I want to speak directly to our trans community members: we see you, we mourn with you, and we stand with you in care and with firm resolve. We don't yet know the circumstances of this tragedy, but the GWSS Department redoubles our commitment to building a world where trans lives are not only protected but valued and celebrated. Please connect with each other in the days ahead and know we are here and in solidarity. Yours, Amanda __________________________ Amanda L.

Please see course options below. For this summer only, if you would like to take HSTRY 498, a great opportunity to dig into environmental history, you may do so without previously taking HSTRY 388. Please email histadv@uw.edu for an add code for the course. *** "Bodies, Commodities, and Global Environments": Dr. Nathan Roberts HSTRY 498 A; a Summer Full-Term, in-person class: Fridays 940-1150am in Thomson 215 This conceptually-rich seminar explores the interplay between physical bodies (human and non-human), commodification, and specific places and environments. Far from being discrete entities, each of these permeates the others in ways that challenge our understanding of the world we live in. Drawing on literature especially from environmental history, the class investigates histories of enslavement and wage labor, public health, consumer trends, and environmental change. The course calls into question the agency of non-human parts of environments, examines the social histories of consumer goods, and illuminates how our bodies are both in and of markets and ecologies. Students will read and discuss common literature, create an original online glossary, and produce an historiographical essay. This is a Writing (W) course.

The club will be meeting biweekly next year, and we are considering changing up from our usual format. Currently, it is that we read an Ancient Greek or Roman play every meeting/over several meeting, but next year we will probably expand into UW Classical Studies Club, with more varied activities. New officers are encouraged to apply if they have a passion for classics and want to bring new ideas to the table for the club?s future.
