HIS 202: U.S. History Since 1877 
M/W 1:00 鈥� 2:15 PM 
Dr. Kevin McQueeney 
In this course we will examine American history from the period after Reconstruction through the present. Instead of the typical approach of using a textbook to go chapter by chapter through each decade, we will focus instead on specific topics from each period. We will start by looking at the rise of Jim Crow and America鈥檚 ascent as an imperial power at the turn of the twentieth century, including acquisitions of Hawaii and the Philippines as well as the forced assimilation of Indigenous Americans. Next we will analyze the Influenza Pandemic of 1918-1919, civil liberties in World War I, and Women鈥檚 Suffrage in the 1910s. We will look at the Roaring Twenties through the lens of the Great Migration, the Tulsa Massacre, urbanization, eugenics, and immigration restriction. We will detail the everyday experiences of Americans during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl; American isolationism in the 1930s; and the changing American homefront, the Arsenal of Democracy, and Japanese interment in World War II. In the postwar period, we will explore the Red Scare in the Cold War, Lavendar Scare, the Space Race, and the suburbanization of America and rise of 1950s consumer culture. Finally, we will examine America in the tumultuous 1960s and 1970s, including the Civil Rights Movements and the Conservative backlash.  
 
 
HIS 300: Research Seminar 
T/Th 2:30 鈥� 3:45 PM 
Dr. Laura Mammina 
This course introduces history majors and minors to the discipline of history. The first third of the course is reading and discussion based: We will examine the nature of history, why it is important, and how it is practiced.  The rest of the course is spent learning research methodology, i.e. how historians choose research topics, conduct primary and secondary source research, outline and write a research paper, and present their research findings to colleagues.  
 
The major assignment in the course is an original, argumentative historical research paper of eight to ten pages. Smaller assignments along the way, including topic descriptions, bibliographies, outlines, and drafts, will guide students through this process. Ultimately, the goal of the class is to teach majors and minors primary source research skills and prepare them for upper division history courses. 
  
Please note that this course is a Writing Intensive (WI) course in which students must write 鈥渁 minimum of 5000 computer-generated words in a multiparagraph research paper.鈥�  Students must complete the course with a C or better in order to graduate.

HIS 375: Economic History of the U.S. 
T/Th 11:00 鈥� 12:15 PM 
Dr. Max Grivno 
This course offers a broad overview of American Economic History from the American Revolution to the twentieth century. Economic history is a broad, diverse, and vibrant field.  Its practitioners embrace political ideologies that range from socialist to libertarian, and they employ methodologies that include statistical analysis, environmental and social history, and cultural studies.  This diversity makes the field exciting, but it also means that no one course can cover the entire field.  I have structured this course to give you a sense鈥攁 taste鈥攐f the major changes that have occurred in the American economy over the past 250 years and to show you how those profound, often wrenching transformations changed the lives of American consumers and workers.  Understanding economic history allows you to understand the world around you.  Political revolutions and wars may capture the headlines, but the daily machinations of the economy are the engines that drive much historical change. 
 
 
HIS 400: Senior Capstone 
M/W 11:00 AM 鈥� 12:15 PM 
Dr. Kyle Zelner 
Topic: Communities in Crisis    
Communities throughout history have had to deal with different crises, be they natural disasters, pandemics, crime waves, wars, civil unrest, or countless other catastrophes.   
  
HIS 400 is the required senior capstone class for all history majors and as such, the class will include a mixture of discussion seminars and considerable independent research/writing time.  Along with a refresher on primary document research and historical writing, the first several weeks of the class will see students reading a number of articles and/or books about communities in crisis and discussing them in a seminar setting.   
  
For the remainder of the semester, students will research and write an original history of a community in crisis.  The research paper (18-20 pages) must make extensive use of primary documents (such as newspapers, oral histories, diaries, letters, and other accounts) as well as the secondary sources written on their topic.  The first draft of the paper will be evaluated by the professor and then redrafted to create a final manuscript.  In addition to the major research paper, students will be required to give two oral presentations in the class. 
  
Some possible research paper topics might include: 
  
鈥�What happened to New York City during the American Revolutionary War? 
鈥�What happened to the community in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina? 
鈥�How did the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918 change life in Chicago? 
鈥�What happened to London during the Blitz in World War II?  
鈥�How did the Civil War affect the town of Vicksburg?  
鈥�How did the community in Birmingham, Alabama experience the Civil Rights movement? 
  
The possibilities are almost endless . . .  
  
Required text: Kate L. Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 9th ed., Chicago: Chicago University Press, 2018.

M/W 2:30 鈥� 3:45 PM

This course examines the history of medicine in the United States from the pre-colonial and colonial period through the present.

We will also analyze how American medicine has both shaped and been shaped by diverse social and cultural attitudes toward race, gender, labor, and class. We will study the impact of and public reactions to epidemic diseases, including smallpox, tuberculosis, polio, and HIV; improvements in public health and sanitation; advances in medical science and technology; medical experimentation and ethics; exclusion, discrimination, and under-representation of women and people of color; changing ideas of mental health and illness; and the evolution of healthcare policy.  

 
HUM 402/502: Digital Humanities Practicum 
T/Th 11:00 AM 鈥� 12:15 PM 
Dr. Jennifer Andrella 
In this course, students will work collaboratively on a Digital Humanities project while learning digital methods, community-engaged best practices, and archival research. We will engage in the entire process of constructing a digital project, from idea to public launch. Through this course, students will gain valuable skills in web authoring, team-based learning, and project management. By working closely with local archives, special collections, and/or community partners, students will explore how the digital humanities can connect scholarship with public audiences in meaningful ways.
