G210 Atlantic Revolutions 4 SH
In this class we will study the earliest revolutions of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries in order to better understand how revolutions
became an integral part of modern consciousness and ideology. Beginning
in England, the early revolutions flared on both sides of the Atlantic,
moving from England to the Thirteen Colonies, to France and to Haiti.
We will examine the way in which these early revolutions influenced and
cross-fertilized each other, extending their implications to the political,
social and cultural spheres. Like ships, goods, diseases and human beings,
ideologies flowed through the ocean, changing human consciousness in the
process. With the development of revolutionary philosophies, radical participatory
politics had become an integral part of modernity. In this course, we
will read selections from a number of works that discuss these early revolutions
and their implications. Students will write a research paper to be turned

G238 Managing Non-Profit Organization 4 SH
This course will examine the management of non-profit organizations which
include historical agencies, museums, archives, historic houses, and various
special historical collections. The literature on historical administration,
however, is lacking in sufficient conceptual rigor for us to generalize
about the inner and outer workings of a complex management organization.
Since historical agencies and museums are most definitely complex organizations
with missions and goals, and with policies and procedures for involving
various "publics" in their activities, we should study them as part of
the changing and evolving organizational structure of a modern society.
So, this course is about public management with all of its institutional
components and human complexities. In this regard, we will study planning
in the public sector, budgeting, fund-raising, conflict resolution and
the human relations literature as it relates to becoming a functional
and successful manager.

because they present a narrative that may in the end run counter to that
