HIST 231420th Century American History3
Arts & Sciences This course looks at the most tumultuous century in the nation’s history, our country’s rise to world prominence, and its great successes and failures. The multifarious nature of America, the joys and plights of the American people, and the “experiment in democracy” are examined from the perspective of the American people-especially those who have been “forgotten” in history-through texts, films, lectures and, when applicable, field trips. credit(s): 3
Arts & Sciences In this course, students explore the geopolitical issues shaping their future as global citizens. Topics include emergent phenomena likely to define near and long-term experience including environmental crisis, weapons of mass destruction, artificial intelligence, the extraction economy, viral pandemic, genetic manipulation, and the growth of stateless corporate entities of massive influence. The course will help students understand the role both state and non-state actors will play in managing these forces and will anticipate the ways current technologies and social norms will evolve into a radically new world order. credit(s): 3
