HIS124

The present is a result of the past. Apropos, students in this course will consider, analyze and gain insight into past events, people and trends that have contributed to the constitution of America's present. An accumulation of a body of knowledge, both necessary and useful, and including U.S. foreign policy from Western settlement through globalization, and domestic changes from urbanization and industrialization, racial and gender questions to enduring debates over political economy, will serve to supplement and support the intellectual skills on which this course will focus.
