FYS: Hamilton’s America: Beyond the Musical

Catalog description

Over the last few years, Hamilton: An American Musical has taken the world by storm. Taking the musical as a starting point, we will consider the real Alexander Hamilton’s life and times; the relationship between history, memory, storytelling, and art: and the newfound love of an historical figure who was, in his own time, less than universally popular. This course fulfills the First-Year Seminar (FYS) requirement of the 2015 University Studies Program. USP 2015 Code U5FY
