303WI Methods & Problems In American Studies (4)
This course examines four topics that are important in American culture; each
topic is approached from a different methodological perspective. The topics
(problems) are related to cultural resources in the Kansas City area and may
change from semester to semester. Methods of problem solving are determined by
the topic; however, students should expect to participate in oral history,
interpretation of material culture, and traditional archival research and
document analysis.
