=== History 207 ===
History of the Modern Middle East: Blows a lot of your preconceived notions about the middle east out of the water. Adds levels of complexity to issues you thought you understood, but probably didn't. A lot of reading. Most people end this course by falling madly in love with Magnus Bernhardsson who, despite being completely oblivious of it, is extremely funny.
=== Art History 266 ===
20th century Russian art and the birth of abstraction. Definitely the best class I've taken at Williams so far. Taught by Darra Goldstein, who's a reasonable grader, very effective lecturer, and truly delightful person. She does a great job contextualizing the art in Russian history, language, and culture; one comes out of this course feeling like they've learned something about Russian life rather than just the art. No prerequisites, a great class for non-majors, seniors, and senior non-majors.
