Description:	Since 1945 Americans have been buffeted by a series of contrapuntal extremities: 1950s conformity, 1960s liberation; triumph of the New Deal, return of the Gilded Age; religious revivals, secular desires, cold wars/hot wars. This course studies what may and may not be paradoxical about all this. (Distribution Reqs:Humanities)
Learning Goals:	Students will demonstrate knowledge of the basic narrative of American history since 1945, including the major political, social, economic, and cultural trends that have shaped American society. Students will demonstrate an understanding of the methods historians use to explore and depict the complexity of the human experience through time and find historical evidence, interpret primary and secondary sources, and craft historical narratives and arguments. Students will demonstrate knowledge of the major historical concepts and historiographical debates currently guiding the field of history. Students will be able to analyze critically primary and secondary historical sources and to craft their own historical narratives and interpretations. This will be done in conjunction with class discussion, examinations, written assignments, and a formal paper. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only.
