课程描述
本课程借助阅读材料和讨论，聚焦于一系列影响美国政治、文化及社会组织的短期事件。本课程致力于寻找方法去理解这些复杂、造成严重创伤的事件，以及利用这些事件去理解美国历史中更长远的变迁。本课程也通过学期论文的形式让学生体验主要第一手文献研究。
This course uses readings and discussions to focus on a series of short-term events that shed light on American politics, culture, and social organization. It emphasizes finding ways to make sense of these complicated, highly traumatic events, and on using them to understand larger processes of change in American history. The class also gives students experience with primary documentation research through a term paper assignment.
