课程名称:罗斯福世纪 课程概述:本课程通过西奥多·罗斯福、富兰克林·罗斯福和埃莉诺·罗斯福的生平、理想和成就,构建了一个"罗斯福世纪"的概念。课程重点在于进行研究、分析原始资料,并将这些信息与连贯且合逻辑的解释相结合。它邀请学生进行批判性和历史性的思考,提供对历史学家的工作过程的洞察。我们相信三位罗斯福(以下称为3R)深刻塑造了二十世纪。本课程将展示为什么我们如此认为,并阐明我们所使用的范式、观点和资料。同时,课程也希望你表达自己的观点,并基于自己的研究成果进行论证。 课程结构简单明了: - 第一模块是简介,提供必要的传记信息,以便将3R的个人故事与二十世纪的重大事件联系起来; - 第二模块讨论安全的概念,说明3R如何重新定义了安全的意义,并重新配置政府在保障安全中的角色; - 第三模块聚焦于平等,展示3R如何改变了领导者与被领导者之间的关系,拒绝放任经济学,并支持通过干预政治来克服破坏社会凝聚力的不平等现象; - 第四模块描述3R如何促进和保护普通公民的自由,并将其作为中心政治目标之一进行传播; - 第五模块总结3R的持久遗产,并要求学生对罗斯福世纪提出自己的看法。你是否同意我们对近期历史和未来可能性的解读? 五个模块内包括测验以检验知识和理解,有创意的讨论提示,以及指导研究和作业的内容,以提升历史技能。 我们希望您享受这段智识旅程!
Part: 1
Title:Introduction
Description:This module focuses on the foundational elements of this course. It explores the biographies of the 3Rs, their public achievements, and what motivated them to become the major public figures that we recognise today. The overall learning goal is to make students aware of the connections between the bios of the 3Rs and the rise of the U.S. as a global power in the twentieth century.
Part: 2
Title:Security
Description:This module focuses on the concept of security and how each of the Roosevelts understood it and defined it in their own way. Students will learn the distinction between national, social, and human security and will assess the influence of the 3Rs in expanding the meaning of security and how we use the word today.
Part: 3
Title:Equality
Description:This module focuses on the concepts of equality and social justice. Students will learn to identify how the 3Rs contributed to the promotion of social, political and economic equality and will be able to recognize their most lasting achievements in securing equality and social justice in the United States and around the world.
Part: 4
Title:Freedom
Description:This module focuses on the ideas and ideals of freedom that the 3Rs promoted throughout their lives. Students will see how the 3Rs put forward a multi-dimensional understanding of freedom, covering many different rights and liberties.
Part: 5
Title:Legacies
Description:This module focuses on the Rooseveltian legacy. Students will learn to recognize the innovative elements that the 3Rs brought to modern-day politics, and how their legacies live on through their particular skills and achievements as political campaigners, administrative innovators, popular mobilisers, multi-media communicators, and wide-ranging reformers.
This course uses the lives, ideals and achievements of Theodore, Franklin, and Eleanor Roosevelt to create the idea of a Rooseveltian century. It is about doing research, analyzing primary sources, and connecting all this information with a coherent and logical interpretation. It is an invitation to think critically and historically, and it wants to give you a glimpse of what it means to be a historian at work. We are convinced that the three Roosevelts – the 3Rs, as we will refer to them throughout this course – profoundly shaped the twentieth century. This course shows you why we think so and which paradigms, ideas, and sources we use to uphold our claim. But this course also asks you to give your opinion, and ground it on your own research findings. The structure of the course is straightforward: - An introductory module gives you the biographical information you need to connect the personal stories of the 3Rs with the major events of the twentieth century; - Module 2 explains how the 3Rs reframed our thinking on security, broadening its meaning and reconfiguring the government’s role in providing it; - Module 3, focusing on equality, shows how the 3Rs changed the relationship between leaders and led, rejected laissez-faire economics, and supported a politics of intervention to overcome the inequalities that undermined social cohesion; - Module 4 describes how the 3Rs promoted and protected the freedom of ordinary citizens, and communicated that as one of their central political goals; - Module 5 summarizes the long-lasting legacies of the 3Rs, and asks for your opinion on the Rooseveltian century. Do you agree with this interpretation of our recent past – and our possible futures? The five modules contain quizzes to test your knowledge and understanding, discussion prompts to stimulate your creativity, and research guidance and assignments to sharpen up your historical skills. We hope you will enjoy this intellectual journey!
