Humanities and Fine Arts 191HFA52 - FYS-Gender & Race in America

This seminar is an examination of gender and race as an introduction to History and its methods. It is intended to provide students with skills useful throughout their college career, particularly in an HFA (Humanities and Fine Arts) track. We will use gender and race as analytical frameworks to understand history and relate it to our present world. This will include topical discussions on feminism, masculinity and war, slavery and emancipation, and Civil Rights. Students will explore a relevant topic of their choosing throughout the semester to hone their research abilities and interests.

Open to first-year Humanities and Fine Arts Exploratory Track students and first-year HFA Majors.
