HIST 20613 The American Mind since 1877 (Honors)

Prerequisites: Honors standing. HIST 20613 covers the same era as HIST 10613 but emphasizes interdisciplinary themes of American intellectual history developed in Honors Intellectual Traditions or Honors Western Civilization courses. The course will focus upon how various ideas and issues within the American experience following the Civil War and national westward expansion influenced U.S. history and helped create a distinctly American culture and intellectual tradition. Though a strong historical narrative will be evident, the course will include literature, politics, sociology, religious studies, demography, and philosophy. (US)
