Description: Are you interested in American history from 1877 to the present? This course offers an overview of the political, economic, social, and cultural development of the United States from the Gilded Age to the present. Emphasizing the human experience through the use of primary sources, students will complete coursework and then work on a guided project focused on the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. They will use primary and secondary sources to conduct research on a topic of their choice related to Franklin D. Roosevelt or First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, which will be selected in consultation with Dr. Adele-Marie.

The class is in an online synchronous format with once weekly (Tuesdays, 6PM-9:20PM) format. Contact Dr. Adele-Marie for more information.
