Section Information for Summer 2023

This course examines changes that have occurred in the United States since the end of Civil War Reconstruction. Over the course of the semester, we will address three prominent themes in American history: changes in the role of the federal government in everyday life, the emergence of the United States as a world power, and changes in social relations that gave working people, women, and people of color a voice in public life. While we will be studying the past, this course will help you to understand the world we live in today. Our synchronous online course will be a mix of lecture and conversation. Assessment will be based on homework exercises, exams & quizzes, and in-class participation, which is required in order to do well. Let me know who you are and what you think! Skills developed in the course include analyzing sources, framing questions, critical thinking, formal and informal writing, and oral communication.

HIST 122 B01 is a synchronous online section that has some asynchronous work. Students should plan to meet on the days and time scheduled.
