U16 Hist 3875Under an American Sun: The Cultural History of Summer in America, 1776 to the Present3.0 Units
Description:This course explores the cultural history and meaning of "summer" in America from 1776 to the present. How and why have the ways that Americans conceived of and spent "summertimes" changed? Is there anything about stereotypical "long, hot summers" that have historically altered political climates and possibilities as literal temperatures rose? How has the regularity and the irregularity of summer weather in America historically influenced environmental debates? Specific summers that this course will consider include: the summer of 1776 and the revolutionary separation from Britain; Summer 1787 and the Constitutional Convention; 1816, "the year without a summer;" 1863 and the radical transformation of public war via the Civil War; race riots in the "Red Summer" of 1919; the run-up to VJ Day in the summer of 1945; and the "Freedom Summer," of 1964. We explore related topics such as: how air conditioning and refrigeration have altered experiences and meanings of summer in America; association of summertime with urban and racial unrest; the rise of summer sports, camps, tourism, and "summer school;" the cultural history of swimming pools in America; the evolving music, poetry and popular literature of summer; and the evolution of the Fourth of July as a holiday--indeed, as a "holy day" of sorts--on the American civic calendar. This course is fully online. Students enrolled in day classes at Washington University should review the policies of their home division on credit earned for online courses.

U16 Hist 4638Research Seminar: Debating U.S. History: Museums, Monuments and Public Memory3.0 Units
Description:Americans have long been fascinated with physical markers of their history, and debates over the significance of past persons, places and artifacts have gained added weight in visions of the country's political, social and cultural future within the last 30 years. For example, when the New Orleans City Council sought to remove three Confederate monuments in 2017, it couldn't find contractors willing to risk public scorn. Two monuments were taken down in the middle of the night by masked workers, and the third removal was accompanied by a speech that earned Mayor Mitch Landrieu national attention (and gossip about his potential as a 2020 presidential candidate). This course looks at the ways in which public history as a field has developed in the United States, including how processes like collecting, cataloguing, researching, interpreting and teaching have an impact on popular interactions with past events. Students will assess key and heated reflective moments in American public history-like a 1994 slave auction at Colonial Williamsburg and the proposed 1995 Enola Gay exhibit at the Smithsonian-as well as consider how historical persons, places and events are represented in their communities. This Research Seminar course, ultimately, will reflect on the power and responsibility inherent in remembering the past. This course is fully online. Students enrolled in day classes at Washington University should review the policies of their home division on credit earned for online courses.

Label

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.
