HIST 012 - Political & Social History of the United States II
SP23/Section 26739
Spring 23 Syllabus
|
This course surveys the political, social, and economic history of the United States from 1876 to the present. The course meets the California State University requirements for United States History. We will pay specific attention to the development of the concept of freedom, politically and materially, within different subsets of populations in the United States, and how this concept changes over time. We will also examine the idea that land is freedom, and what this looks like. You will be required to work in assigned groups on a regular schedule, participate in presentations and discussions, and be an active learner in this class. Some assignments, mostly writing, will be ungraded, but are still required. Being able to convey your thoughts verbally and in essay format is a skill that takes time and practice thus you will have ample opportunity to practice. Come prepared to participate: we all need to be mentally present!
