  • HIST 220: Philadelphia Story:The City as Text

    3.00 Credits
    Ursinus College

    Dr. Hemphill This course uses the city of Philadelphia as a laboratory for examining the American experience. Among other issues, it considers Philadelphia as the locus for the founding of the American political system, as a primary destination for European and African-American migrants, and as a place to examine the urban challenges of poverty, crime, epidemics, and racial or ethnic conflict. In addition to discussing a variety of primary and secondary source readings, we will attempt to read the city itself- its buildings, murals, market-stalls and neighborhoods- for clues to the American urban experience. Three hours per week, plus field trips. Four semester hours. (H, D.)
