303PW 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 (such as a
museum exhibit or a library research collection) 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.
Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in American Studies 302P. Offered: On
demand.
