20th Century US Culture Wars

Credit: 2 TO 4 hours.

What ideas does "American Culture" include? How does it incorporate diverse religious traditions as well as new scientific perspectives? How are ethnicity, gender and race important? Topics of current "cultural wars", these and other questions about cultural conflict in the US have been hotly debated for over a century. This course explores such culture wars in the 20th century US and helps students evaluate contested cultural concepts they have produced, including pragmatism, pluralism, religious diversity, scientific objectivity, economic equality, as well as "popular," "high" and "democratic" culture.

Same as RLST 479. 3 undergraduate hours. 2 or 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: One year of college history or consent of instructor.
