Course Description
This course explores United States history from 1877 to the present. Using the analytical lenses of race, class, gender, ethnicity and sexuality, students examine the major forces that shaped, and continue to shape, the political, social, cultural, religious, scientific, technological and environmental life of the nation. Specific attention is dedicated to examining the ways that the U.S. Constitution and government institutions evolved in response to the ever-changing social, economic, and political demands of its diverse inhabitants. Emphasis is given to the voices of marginalized communities traditionally excluded from the narratives of U.S. History.
