HST 106S: Disasters in North America (new course)
Professor Elizabeth Fenn
301 Carr Building (East Campus)
919-684-2192
email: efenn@duke.edu
Course Description:
This course will explore the history of disasters in North America, from
the arrival of the Europeans to the collapse of the twin towers. Disasters
are catalytic events in which nature and societies reveal themselves. Our
central theme will be the ways in which disasters (and our perceptions of
them) both shape and reflect the societies in which they occur. With this
in mind, we will examine events in Canada and Mexico as well as the United
States. The very nature of disasters makes this a cross-disciplinary
course. You will be encouraged to think broadly and to develop links not
just to the natural sciences, but to sociology, economics, religion, and
other disciplines as well.

PS 199B-52: Mexican Politics (new course
Elizabeth Zechmeister
Dept. of Political Science
326 Perkins Library
919-660-4300
email: elizabeth.zechmeister@duke.edu
Course Description:
This course offers an overview of the history and politics of contemporary Mexico. Throughout the course we will examine the interaction among social, political and economic change in an effort to understand the challenges of state-building and democratization in Mexico. In addition to covering the historical evolution of Mexico's political economy and institutions, the course will examine the US-Mexican relations, the Zapatista movement, economic liberalization (NAFTA), democratization, and the recent presidential defeat of the dominant party, the PRI, after more than 70 years in office. In examining these issues, the course will weave together historical and contemporary sources in order to examine both the origins/causes of these events and their implications for Mexico's future.
