HIS 3260 - Violence in America
Credit(s): 3
This course introduces students to major themes and problems in the history of American violence. It approaches not only violence as a problem for its targets, but as a dynamic factor in everyday life that shaped everyone’s identity in multiple ways. This course will analyze the foundations of identity, such as gender, ethnicity, class, and regional identity. As we trace the evolution of American culture from pre-modern times to the present, we will examine how forms of, and attitudes toward, violence have shaped the process, and have been shaped by it. Violence will be framed in a context such as Native American history, organized crime, race relations, or politics, that can rotate in successive semesters.
Offering Location: Lyndon Campus
Repeatable for Credit: Once, with a change of context.
