of US foreign policy from the founding of the country to the present day. We will move
between broad historical developments and specific moments in US foreign policy with an eye
to pertinent films. The readings for the course reflect the three main interdisciplinary threads
of the course: political science, history, and film studies. Books such as Steven H. Hook’s US
Foreign Policy: The Paradoxes of World Power tackle political science theories around US
foreign policy while David Ryan’s US Foreign Policy in World History and Hook and Spanier’s
American Foreign Policy since World War II foreground a historical approach. Meanwhile,
other readings will highlight the relationship between film and foreign policy more directly,
such as selections from Melani McAlister’s Epic Encounters: Culture, Media, and US Interests
in the Middle East, 1945–2000. Drawing on the critical vocabulary of these readings, you
will practice close analysis—of both films and historical documents—and develop critical
citizenship skills related to your place as part of US democracy. This course fulfills HAP
General Education Requirement. Required textbooks: US Foreign Policy: The Paradoxes
of World Power, Steven H. Hook; US Foreign Policy in World History, David Ryan; and
American Foreign Policy since World War II, Steven W. Hook and John Spanier
