HS 145History of Postwar America3
This course examines the ways life changed in the period from the end of World War II in 1945 through the end of the 20th century, with particular focus on culture and civil rights. We will look at developments in music, film, the arts, and other humanities disciplines as well as developments in politics, civics, and jurisprudence. Our goal is to develop an understanding of how this 55-year period has influenced our present lives, and connections will be drawn between things we experience in the 2020s and their roots in this period.

HS 218Irish American History3
Why did some seven million people leave Ireland for North America from the 17th through the 20th centuries? What did this migration mean for the country they left and more especially, the country that received them? How did the United States transform the immigrant Irish and their children, and how did the Irish transform the United States? This course will seek to understand the dynamic, ongoing impact of this mass migration on the economic, political, and cultural development of the United States, where 45 million people today claim some ancestral connection to Ireland. 3 credits HS 219 (WS 219) Boy Cultures The course is designed to invite male and female students who have a scholarly and/or personal interest in both understanding the complexity of the subject and considering implications for positive changes in areas where males struggle. The class explores constructs of masculinity in the U.S. using an intersectional approach, which assumes that there are multiple masculinities that intersect with race, class, ableism, sexuality, and gender identity. Masculinity is a powerful vehicle that motivates the behavior of boys and men, and if it is redefined and constructed as responsibility for others (and not domination) the impacts can be tremendous.

HS 304Popular Culture3
An exploration of critical approaches to popular culture. The course examines popular music, film, literature, and television, as well as investigates subcultures and other forms of cultural mediation in U.S., European, and non-Western history. This course locates popular culture in its social, cultural, and intellectual context. 3 credits HS 325I (WS 325I) Girl Cultures The course draws on the methods and materials of history, women’s studies, and cultural critique to introduce students to the fields of girl studies and third wave feminist theory. Using a framework that emphasizes the intersections of gender, race, class, sexuality, and nationality in cultures, theories, and activism that girls and women create and navigate, students gain a deeper understanding of the formation of girl cultures from a theoretical and empirical perspective. Girlhood does not simply reflect society; it foreshadows new social and cultural practices, temporary as they may be, in a prophetic and annunciatory way. Students will be expected to treat girlhood as constituted through experience, a careful analysis of which should lead to the historicization of that process. 3 credits HS 351 (WS 351) Women and American Labor History Contributions of women to the American labor movement; past and current issues in female participation in workers’ movements in the United States.
