HIST 320 - Diversity in American History

This course examines American history from the perspective of minority groups and other people too often ignored in traditional surveys. Rather than explore history from the top down, this class studies the interactions of Native Americans, women, African Americans, immigrants, rural laborers, industrial workers, homosexuals, and religious minorities to determine the impact these interactions have had upon American history. This course will bring to the fore the historical impact of these oft-overlooked social groups to broaden our understanding of the nation’s development.
