Graduate Seminar: U.S. since 1900

This seminar will explore selected topics in the political, social, and cultural history of the United States in the twentieth century. We will also investigate the types of sources, archives, and methodologies employed by twentieth century historians. Over the course of the semester, students will pursue in-depth research projects on a topic of their choosing using extensive primary and secondary source materials. The final product should be a substantial scholarly paper suitable for presentation at a professional conference or submission for publication in a scholarly journal.
