Description:

How has the ethnic borderland of the American West been remembered in visual culture? How have innovations in online archiving and access influenced collective memory? This course considers how different people clashed and coexisted in the nineteenth century American West. By placing the experiences of diverse ethnic groups in dialogue, the course provides both an understanding and a challenge to the ways in which scholars think and write about the American West. The final project will be an online exhibit featuring images, documents and video from online archives. Enrollment limited to 17 freshmen and sophomores. WRIT
