This course is a research seminar based on the history of the eugenics movement and other forms of racial pseudo-science in the United States.  After completing some general readings on the history of American eugenics, students will develop individual research projects based on the rise, decline and lingering impacts of the movement.  The focus in developing these projects will be on materials stored in the Smith College Archives, which range from the papers of  Harris Hawthorne Wilder, Morris Steggerda and other faculty who were involved in eugenics research to ephemeral materials that document the participation of Smith students in this research from the 1910s to the late 1930s. Enrollment limited to 12. Juniors and seniors only. Instructor permission required.

[CE] JR/SR only

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
