HIS3721 Cities at War


Cities at War explores the experiences and memories of the people and culture of urban centers during times of war. Students directly engage with the physical, social, cultural, and historical artifacts of the city under exploration, and thus, social and cultural, as well as military, histories are studied. Students explore the key historical and cultural features of the city under review, including the rise to power of the wartime government, the different groups of city inhabitants and their experiences during wartime, a critical examination of the process of reconstruction, and historical memory/memorializing in a post-war era. On-site and primary source analysis, as well as critical reading, writing and presentation are emphasized; upper division students also complete additional historical thinking components for each assessment that demonstrate appropriate depth and analysis. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, one of which must be in Humanities, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course. Students cannot receive credit for both HIS 2721  and HIS3721. Credits: 3.000
