Students will investigate, for example, how Sputnik, McCarthyism, I Love Lucy, the Civil Rights movement, the Beatles, the atomic bomb, interstate highways, and Elvis converged in the formation of post-war American culture and society.

Students will become modest experts on a literary text or cultural phenomena or critical event or new movement that surfaced during this decade. Invited speakers will offer their expertise about one aspect of this anything-but-dull decade.
