Desc:RESEARCHING & WRITING DIFFICULT LOCAL HISTORIES - This course tackles the challenge of researching racial discrimination in suburbs and small towns in the twentieth century United States. This course will also equip students to research and write about difficult histories. While urban racial discrimination is better documented, Americans in smaller towns faced discrimination in more opaque ways ranging from real estate marketing, local tax schedules, and civic ordinances to visual and discursive forms of hate in posted materials, signage, and photographs. We will utilize primary source analysis including newspapers, local histories, and census materials alongside oral history accounts and visual materials. We will explore both the official record and the power of rumors and community stories. Each component of the course will prepare students to write a final report on a potential town with a history of racial discrimination which may be added to the National Sundown Towns digital project.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
