Description

What does The Cat in the Hat have to do with the Cold War? How do I find peer-reviewed articles on the library website? Can a doll be a historical source? What on earth is historiography? We will explore these questions and more in History 195, Kids in America: Childhood in the Postwar United States. This course uses the history of childhood in the post-World War II era as an entry point into the complicated, messy, and exciting practice of academic writing. As a First-Year Writing Course, History 195 will introduce you to critical thinking skills, multi-modal writing, rhetorical context awareness, and revision processes. You will develop your writing and editing skills while you work with sources from children’s books and music videos to academic articles and op-eds. This course is an opportunity to use writing to think through the ways the state, the family, race, gender, and popular culture shape how Americans think about and talk about childhood.
