Public History, Theory & Practice

Catalog description

This course will offer students the opportunity to both study and shape the ways in which US public culture attempts to both remember and forget some of the most contentious aspects of US history topics: the role of the police over time, and the way charges of police brutality and violence have organized US history and shaped how we remember (or forget) it. Radicalized slavery, Black resistance to it, and the legacy of both. And additional topics. (HIST-HNA)
