This course will integrate social, economic, political, and cultural history to explore the dramatic changes that have occurred in the United States since the Second World War.
Regular attendance is critical for success in the course.
This course emphasizes discussion of class materials and themes. The success of the class depends on the full participation of all members. We will strive to create an atmosphere of cooperation, respect, openness, and good humor. Lectures will provide historical and historiographical context, overviews and analyses of significant themes and events, and questions for further discussion. I strongly encourage the continuation of our discussions outside of the classroom via email.
