HIST 206H - THE 1950’S AND 60’S: HONORS SEMINAR Credits: Four Prerequisite: Membership in Bascom Honors Program This seminar will integrate social, economic, political, and
cultural history to explore the dramatic changes that occurred in
the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. We will study a
variety of events and people, but we will focus particular
attention on two major themes of the period: the Cold War (both
foreign and domestic) and the activities of various social
movements (Civil Rights, Peace/Anti-war, Women). We will attempt to
understand how Americans viewed their times by examining a variety
of primary and secondary sources and popular culture examples such
as magazines, movies, television, and music.
