4. Course description as it is to appear in the College bulletin:

(Write in complete sentences except for prerequisites, hours and credits.)

This course offers students an introduction to how Catholicism has shaped social identities and cultural practices across global cultures from the early 1500s to the present day. Starting with the Catholic response to the Reformation in 16th Century Europe, the course then traces the complex social and cultural formations generated by an expansive Catholicism in Asia, Latin America, and Africa, and the tension between Catholicism and American culture in the history of the United States. Key topics will include the history of Catholicism and culture, syncretism, ethnicity, race, gender, and social class.

7. Number of: class hours_3___ lab hours____ credits_3___

8. Brief rationale for the course:

The course offers students tools for understanding key aspects of the social history of Catholicism in Europe, Latin America, the United States, Asia, and Africa. The course is not concerned with the history of the institutional church, church leadership, or church doctrine, although those matters will be occasionally considered as background, but rather with how Catholicism has intersected with culture, ethnicity, race, gender, and social class over time in different parts of the world. The history of religious experience, including Catholicism, offers an important lens for understanding social life and cultural encounters and exchange in the global past and present. The study of the social history of Catholicism will help John Jay students understand the forces that have shaped diverse global cultures and the diverse cultures of New York City.

9a. Knowledge and performance objectives of this course:

(What knowledge will the student be expected to acquire and what conceptual and

applied skills will be learned in this course?)

*Students will acquire an understanding of the social history of Catholicism

across cultures as well as an appreciation of the relevance of this past for

understanding religiosity and social identities in the contemporary world.

*Students will acquire an understanding of the process of syncretism—of the mixing of the cultural values and practices of colonizers and Indigenous peoples within the context of power relations—in the formation of Catholic cultures.

*Students will acquire knowledge of how Catholicism has helped to shape religious cultures and social values in Europe, Latin America, the United States, Asia, and Africa. Specific topics will include the Protestant and Catholic Reformations; Jesuit Missions in Asia; Catholicism in Southwest Africa; Catholic Missions and Indigenous Peoples in Central and South America; the Church in Colonial Latin America; Catholicism and Popular Religiosity in Latin America; Catholicism and the Making of the Modern Caribbean; Liberation Theology and the Church in Post-Vatican II Latin America; the History of Catholicism in the United States; Catholicism and American Culture in the Post-Vatican II Era; and Catholicism, Religiosity, and the Global South in the Twenty-first Century.

*Students will learn to read and think critically and analytically about the

social history of Catholicism.

*Students will develop skills in historiographic analysis using primary and secondary sources through the composition of a major research paper (25 pages) on a topic in the global history of Catholicism. The composition of this paper will be scaffolded through successive assignments that include completion of an annotated bibliography, an outline,

an abstract, and drafts of statements on key topics in the paper.

*Students will refine oral presentation skills by making a presentation of their research to the class.

*Students will use primary sources available in library collections and databases, such as historical document collections, for example, Mark Massa and Catherine Osborne, American Catholic History: A Documentary Reader (New York University Press, 2008) and newspapers (the New York Times Historical File).

9b. Indicate learning objectives of this course related to information literacy.

Students will demonstrate critical interpretation of required readings; effective searching of appropriate discipline specific bibliographic databases such as America: History and Life; American Memory Historical Collections; Gale Virtual Reference Library; Historical Abstracts; History Cooperative; J-STOR; Humanities Full-Text; Philosopher’s Index; and Worldwide Political Science Abstracts; and data gathering and analysis of primary and secondary sources, such as historical newspapers and monographs and articles on historical topics.

10. Recommended writing assignments:

(Indicate types of writing assignments and number of pages of each type. Writing

assignments should satisfy the College’s requirements for writing across the curriculum.)

Students will compose a set of three questions and answers (1 page each) on each reading assignment; two short essays (4-5 pages) on major course topics; and a major research paper (25 pages) on a topic in the global history of Catholicism since 1500. The composition of the research paper will be scaffolded through successive assignments that include an annotated bibliography, an outline, an abstract, and draft statements on key topics.

11. Will this course be part of any major (s) or program (s)?

___No

_X__Yes. Major or program: Global History

What part of the major?

This course will be an elective for the proposed major in Global History, serving the second and third chronological tracks. It will use the knowledge students acquired in the required skills courses, Historiography and Research Methods, and allow them to think analytically about the cultural position of the Catholic Church in a nominally agnostic state.

12. Is this course related to other specific courses?

__X_No

___Yes. Indicate which course (s) and what the relationship will be (e.g., prerequisite,

sequel, etc.).

This course offers students an introduction to the social history of Catholicism from the early 1500s to the present day, with a particular focus on the intersection of Catholicism with culture, popular religiosity, ethnicity, race, gender, and social class over time in different parts of the world. The course is not concerned with the history of the institutional church, church leadership, or church doctrine, although those matters will be occasionally considered as background, but rather with how Catholicism has interacted with the evolution of social identities and cultural practices across global cultures. Starting with the Catholic response to the Reformation in 16th Century Europe, the course then traces the complex social formations generated by an expansive Catholicism in Asia, Latin America, and Africa, and the tension between Catholicism and American culture in the history of the United States. Students will acquire an understanding of the social history of Catholicism across cultures as well as an appreciation of the relevance of this past for understanding religiosity and social identities in the contemporary world. Students will also acquire an understanding of the process of syncretism—of the mixing of the cultural values and practices of colonizers and indigenous peoples within the context of power relations—in the formation of Catholic cultures. We will read extensively and think analytically about the history of religion and society.

Required Reading and Assignments

The following texts are available at the John Jay bookstore; copies are also on reserve at the John Jay library. Students are expected to master the assigned readings and will be tested thoroughly upon them. Students must bring three typed questions, and preliminary answers to those questions, composed in thoughtful response to the reading, to each class session in which reading is assigned. You must write original questions that ponder the significance of historical developments analyzed in the reading. These questions will serve as prompts to class discussion, as a measure of your comprehension of the reading, and as the beginning of your preparation for the exams. I will collect your questions and answers at the end of class sessions. This assignment is mandatory; if I receive questions and answers from you on less than 2/3 of the assigned readings, I will reduce your final grade by 10%, which would, for example, reduce a ‘B’ to a ‘C’ or a ‘C’ to a ‘D’.

Students will compose two short essays (4-5 pages) on major course topics; and a major research paper (25 pages) examining the primary sources and historiography concerning a major topic in the social history of Catholicism. The composition of this research paper will be scaffolded through successive assignments that include completion of an annotated bibliography, an outline, an abstract, and drafts of statements on key topics in the paper. In the major research paper, students will use primary sources available in library collections and databases, such as historical document collections, for example, Mark Massa and Catherine Osborne, American Catholic History: A Documentary Reader (New York University Press, 2008) and newspapers (the New York Times Historical File); and secondary sources that include articles and monographs (scholarly book-length studies) on the social history of Catholicism. Through these assignments, students will demonstrate critical interpretation of required readings; effective searching of historical databases such as America: History and Life; American Memory Historical Collections; Gale Virtual Reference Library; Historical Abstracts; History Cooperative; J-STOR; Humanities Full-Text; Philosopher’s Index; and Worldwide Political Science Abstracts; and data gathering and analysis of primary and secondary sources, such as historical newspapers and monographs and articles on historical topics. Students will refine oral presentation skills by making a presentation of their research paper to the class in the final weeks of the course.

I will post grades, the syllabus, and other important course documents on Blackboard.

Attendance and Classroom Protocol

Students are allowed four absences. If you miss in excess of four classes, I will reduce your discussion grade to 0%, as you need to be in class to participate in discussion. Be certain to come to class on time; each instance of tardiness will be marked as half of an absence. Coming and going during class and/or leaving class for extended periods of time will be counted as a half or whole absence. I expect you to participate regularly in class discussions. In order to receive a solid discussion grade, your participation must reveal thoughtful consideration of the reading and must be respectful of your classmates. Please keep your cellphone off when class is in session; text-messaging will not be permitted in class. Laptops will be allowed only for the purpose of taking notes; laptops will be prohibited if this is abused. Having side conversations during class is distracting to your professor and your classmates and will not be permitted. A repeated pattern of talking aside in class will result in a significant reduction of your discussion grade. Occasionally I will ask you to do some brief in-class writing on the day’s reading; you may then be asked to read your in-class writing to the class. While you may choose to pass on sharing your reflection on a particular reading, I expect that you will share your reflection on the reading multiple times during the semester. This exercise counts as part of your discussion grade.
