History: United States History

  
  • HIST 337: Environmental History


    (1 Unit)
    Focus on the historical roots of contemporary environmental problems. Analysis of both the destructive and the conservation sides of the American experience. Native American perspectives, women and nature, technology, Thoreau, John Muir, energy crisis, ecology as the subversive science, a land ethic, Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, and environmental impacts (DDT, Love Canal, atomic testing, PBB, dioxin, acid rain) are stressed. Concentration on America, but within a global frame of reference.

  • HIST 340: History of Women in the U.S., 1877-Present


    (1 Unit)
    Prerequisite: Previous course work in women’s studies or history.
    Does some shared history link American Indian girls sent to BIA boarding schools at the turn of the century with the immigrant girls who labored for the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory? How is “women’s” history different? What difference does women’s history make to U.S. history? This course considers such questions by examining the situations of women in the U.S. from 1877 forward. It introduces students to the theories and methods of women’s history that scholars have developed over the last quarter century. Central to this course is the recognition that women’s experiences are not simple parallels to men’s, and involve differences among women such as those based on sexuality, class, race and regional factors. Franzen.
  
  • HIST 347: Race and Sports in America


    (1 Unit)
    Sport has long occupied a place at the heart of American culture and society. Organized athletics have also served as symbolic sites of protest, power and inclusion for the nation’s racial minorities.

    Prerequisites: At least sophomore standing and one prior history course.
    This course will explore the causes, course, and consequences of the American Civil War, from the 1840s to 1877. The primary goal of the course is to understand the multiple meanings of a transforming event in American history. Those meanings may be defined in many ways: national, sectional, racial, constitutional, individual, social, intellectual, or moral.  We will especially examine three broad themes: the crisis of union and disunion in an expanding republic; slavery, race, and emancipation as national problem, personal experience, and social process; and the political and social challenges of Reconstruction. The course attempts to understand the interrelationships between regional, national, and African-American history. Sacks
  
  • HIST 381: U.S. Immigration History


    (1 Unit)
    The story of uprooted ethnic, religious and racial groups from the first arrival in North America of Europeans through the age of American imperialism in the early twentieth century.

    Explores the basic issues of law’s relationship to contemporary society. Topics include the nature as well as historical and social functions of law; the culture and role of major legal actors in the legal system (e.g., lawyers, judges, juries, police, technology); the tension between ideals and realities in law; and the role of law in addressing contemporary social problems. Fosters analytical and critical skills. Serves as the gateway class to the concentration in law, justice, and society; however, registration is open to all interested students. Rose.
