This course explores how America’s involvement in wars during the 20th and early 21st centuries has profoundly transformed society, politics, law, and culture on the American home front.
Topics include changes in such home-front issues as race, gender, and class relations, citizenship, rights, labor, welfare, government-economic relations, youth culture, family, and political conformity and dissent.
All 4000-level courses must culminate in a significant historical research paper (at least 12 pages, no more than 15 pages), including primary and secondary sources. Assignments leading to the final product must include a primary source analysis and either an annotated research bibliography or a historiographical essay.
Prerequisite: To take this course, students must earn a C or higher in Hist3000.
