HIST 410: Topics - Religion, Politics, Modern America
Mondays 4:15 pm - 6:45 pm

This course will explore how religion and politics shaped the modern United States. In addition to exploring the political preferences of major religious communities or leaders, the course will also consider how politics has defined the contours of religion. To do this, students will read important works in the field of American religious history, as well as canonical pieces from the field of religious studies.

HIST 410: Topics - Writing as Public History
Wednesdays 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Historians are writers, yet many seem to be unaware of that fact.  We'll break away from those staples of graduate school education--university press books and journal articles--to explore alternative forms of writing history, such as magazine articles, podcasts, and screenwriting.  A recurring question—how to write good history and reach audiences beyond the academy?
