HIST 9021
Tutorial in the History of the Human Sciences
Course Description
This graduate-level tutorial introduces the history of the human sciences in Western Europe and the United States since around 1800. Emphasizing anthropology, sociology, and the mind sciences (psychology, psychoanalysis, and psychiatry), we consider the intellectual as well as the institutional dimensions of how disciplines emerged; how they created new forms of power; how they affected old forms of power; and how they changed everyday life.
