EH 223 - America in the 1940’s (SR)

Credits: 4 credits

The 1940s was a unique decade in American history, and this is reflected in the literature and other arts of the time. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this course examines a number of American works (e.g. stories, poems, radio broadcasts, films) to help students come to an understanding of the singular nature of the American experience in the 1940s, particularly as articulated in the country’s literature. Students analyze works and their themes with particular attention to ethical and moral issues that are raised.

This is a Sustainability-Related (SR)  course.
