HIS 372 American Dreams
Students will examine the ways in which different groups have articulated, embraced, and critiqued the American Dream. Since the very concept of the American Dream has been linked to liberty and the pursuit of happiness, this course will explore the political articulations of economically marginalized citizens as they struggled to survive de-industrialization, income inequality, and globalization. Open to majors and non-majors. Fulfills U.S. geographic requirement and L13 Further Disciplinary Study. Fulfills writing-intensive and diversity requirement.
