Adelphi University

Subject:

Description:

3 credits This seminar covers the Civil War to the present. It does not cover every topic, but is instead a thematic exploration of the most relevant historical problems during this era. The goal of this seminar is to introduce graduate students, prospective teachers, and educators, to a variety of problems and questions represented by contemporary writing on American history. By becoming familiar with these questions, students can separate one historical school from another, thus bringing more depth to their ability to prepare data-based questions and shape their own history courses. Students can choose from several topics discussed weekly during class and write papers, utilizing the suggested primary source material, interpretive essays, and texts, provided prior to each week’s session.
