HIST 2765 The North American West (also AMST 2775) (HST-AS, SCD-AS) (HNA)
Tuesday and Thursday: 10:10-11:25 plus Independent Research
Professor Camille Suarez
In this course, we will learn about the history of the West. We will deconstruct popular myths about the West, as we engage with the major themes and significant debates that define the historical scholarship. This course will begin with Native origin stories and end with the 20th century. As a class, we will study the west from a multitude of perspectives, such as race, gender, and ethnicity, the environment, labor, politics and culture. This course is designed to increase our knowledge of the social, political and intellectual developments that have shaped our understanding of the West.
