PRESS RELEASE
Modern Armenian History Course at UC Irvine
The University of California at Irvine has scheduled a course in modern
Armenian history for this spring quarter. The 4-unit class was offered
for the first time last spring and it will be taught again this year by
Dr. Levon Marashlian, professor of history at Glendale Community College.
History 183, Modern Armenian History, is a survey of major developments
from 1800 to the present. Topics that the course covers include
Armenians in the Ottoman and Russian empires, the Armenian Question, the
Armenian Genocide and its consequences, the first Republic of Armenia,
the treaties of Sèvres and Lausanne, Soviet Armenia, the Karabakh
conflict, re-establishment of Armenia's independence in 1991 and its
relations with the Diaspora, Turkey, and the United States up to 2010.
The class is centered on extensive use of specially compiled video
material, including rare material from years and decades ago. Using
the video screen as a sort of interactive blackboard to augment the
lectures and reading assignments, the instructor moves from one
segment to another, pausing frequently to provide further explanation
and spark discussion with students. Professor Marashlian explains that
"the learning experience is enhanced by the real footage of people and
events in documentaries and television news reports that not only
provide historical information, but themselves become part of the
historical record because they reflect the contrasting ways a
particular event or issue was interpreted at a particular time."
The course is scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 to 6:20 pm,
beginning March 30. For more information, please contact the UCI
Department of History at 949-824-6521 or the instructor directly at
818-240-1000 ext. 5463.
