Alan Brinkley
In The Age of Limits, the penultimate e-seminar in the series America Since 1945, Professor Alan Brinkley examines the shift in the prevailing outlook and worldview of Americans during the 1970s, as assumptions about economic abundance and American power gave way to a new awareness of scarcity and constraints. Enter.

America and the Muslim World—E-Seminar 1, Battles and Bibles: 1776-1913
Richard W. Bulliet
This e-seminar examines the history of America and its relation to the Muslim world.

America and the Muslim World—E-Seminar 2, Wars and Fantasies: 1914–1960
Richard W. Bulliet
In the second installment of this five-part series, Professor Richard W. Bulliet, a leading scholar of modern Islam, contrasts the period after World War I with the period immediately following World War II, in terms of real and imagined American engagement in the Muslim world. Although a major American role as protector of Kurds, Armenians, and Syrians was proposed after World War I, it never came to pass. Britain and France instead became the mandatory powers in the region. Enter.

America and the Muslim World—E-Seminar 3, Getting It Wrong: 1953–1979
Richard W. Bulliet
In the third e-seminar in this five-part series, Professor Bulliet analyzes the period when Americans began to pay attention to Islam. While American awareness of the Muslim world increased, crucial misperceptions about Islam persisted into the 1970s among American tourists, government officials, and scholars, so that all were caught off guard by the Iranian revolution in 1979. Enter.

America and the Muslim World—E-Seminar 4, The Voice of Islam: 1979–1991
Richard W. Bulliet
In the fourth e-seminar in this five-part series, Professor Richard W. Bulliet analyzes the period between the Iranian revolution and the Persian Gulf War. During those tumultuous 12 years, wars and political events in the Muslim world repeatedly appeared on the front pages of American newspapers, and the Black Muslim movement took root in the United States, leading to an increased awareness of Islam. Enter.

America and the Muslim World—E-Seminar 5, A Moment of Inclusion
Richard W. Bulliet
In this fifth and final e-seminar in the series America and the Muslim World, Professor Bulliet examines the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001.
