251 Introduction To American Studies II (3)
This course is the second half of the year long, required introductory course
in American Studies. It is also open to all undergraduates. Students will be
expected to locate themselves within American Studies as an area of study and
will be pushed to think critically about the field by looking at the work of
scholars in Cultural History, Media Studies, Regional Studies, Black Studies,
Public History, Critical Legal Studies, Women's Studies and American Studies in
an international context. Students will also be encouraged to place this
scholarship in dialogue with that from the first semester in order to look at
the boundaries of a field that is constantly changing. Prerequisite: AS250
Offered: Winter Semester.
