Section Title: Conflict & Unity American Hist Section Info: Title: Conflict and Unity in American History Topic:This course will explore social conflict and division in American History through the Reacting to the Past program, in which students will enact roles as historical figures in week-long games designed to immerse students in the concerns of historical moments. We will be focusing on two historical moments: the trial an Anne Hutchinson in Puritan New England, and the bohemian enclave of Greenwich Village in 1913. Within these periods, issues of gender, religion, and ideology created dissension about priorities and self-definition as communities struggled for unity. In this course, students will determine which interests will carry the day in each and thereby define the community.
