HIST 311 - Immigration Nation*AEH
Credits: 5
This course investigates American history through the topic of immigration. It follows a chronological overview of American immigration history from the colonial period to the present and addresses salient historical issues such as migration, immigration law, deportation policy, nativism, xenophobia, and border policing. The United States has had a higher number of immigrants than any other nation in the history of the world. Millions of immigrants have come to America to seek religious freedom, political asylum, family reunification, and economic prosperity. Immigrants have long played a substantial role in enriching American culture and fueling economic growth. At the same time, they have often been regarded as an unsettling force, a burden on taxpayers and, curiously, as unassimilable and therefore a threat to American national and racial identity. HIST 311 seeks to provide much-needed historical context for ongoing debates over immigration, citizenship, Americanization, race, ethnicity, and national belonging. Focusing centrally on immigrant experiences and what migrating to America and/or becoming an American has meant historically, this course also grapples with a question older than the nation itself: can a large and growing democratic-republic accept a diversity of peoples brought within its borders?
Prerequisites: None, but WR 121 or its equivalent, and HIST 201 or HIST 202 are recommended.

Since sports have historically served as symbolic sites of exclusion, inclusion, protest, and power for women and minority groups, we will examine the impact of athletic competition on the development of race and gender relations.

HIST 319 - US History Through Film
Credits: 5
This course explores the ways in which US history has been represented through film. Our goal is not to critique films’ historical “accuracy”, but rather to examine the ways that popular, visual culture may operate to re-affirm or challenge widely held understandings of history-and of ourselves as Americans. Our viewing, discussion of and writing about films will often use the concepts of race, gender, and class as primary analytical lenses. Additionally, one central question will inform our exploration of film and history-to what extent does Hollywood function as a public historian? Other topics of exploration could include: why are some periods of history ignored in popular visual culture? Whose versions(s) of history are privileged in mainstream movies? How do films use history to speak of the times in which they are made? Is film a valid form of historical narrative? While this is not a class on film per se, we will also learn about filmic methods, practice writing film reviews, and consider ‘Hollywood’ as a hegemonic cultural industry.

What have Westerns told us about ourselves, our nation, and our society? How do Westerns reflect the ideas, values, and larger historical issues of the period in which they were created?

Through readings, field trips, and films, students will explore current world topics to gain a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and what it means to be culturally competent. Students collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds to compare and contrast social, educational, and workplace cultures. The four modes of language learning will be stressed -speaking, listening, reading, and writing- to help students better understand American University and Academic culture.
