IDEAS IN ACTION: U.S. INTELLECTUAL HISTORY

Catalog description

The idea forms the root of what is intellectual history. The unfolding and discussion of ideas and their application within society outline their path of study. Once the preserve of the thoughts of a select few white men, the field has broadened significantly with the cultural turn in the latter years of the twentieth century to include a more diverse number of voices and issues. Blending these ideas into practice allows us to better witness how history operates both within and outside the confines of the linear structure of time and place.
