Topic: Power, Inequality, and Writing Description: More than thirty years ago, the historian Thomas Bender published a programmatic essay, “Wholes and Parts: Toward A Synthesis,” that lamented the crisis of fragmentation in the field of U.S. history. This course revisits the questions of disciplinary cohesion, objectives, and methodology in terms of our own radically different times. Discussions begin with the classic debate over the utility of race versus class for analyzing power, but acknowledges that the question itself has become complicated by the incorporation of many other categories, concerns, and constraints. This course therefore surveys some of the most imaginative interventions in recent times: Queer Studies, Prison Studies, Consumption and Media, the state, Space and Shelter, the Urban Crisis, as well as related mobilizations: Long Civil Rights, immigration, intersectional feminism, New Social Movements, and the Rightward Turn. The format is structured around rotating facilitation, incorporation of “outside” materials, and short writing assignments and collaborative exercises. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
