What’s In It For Me: US Cultural History

  • Builds off the base knowledge gained in US History Survey
  • A new avenue to explore history (culture)
  • Knowledge for more advanced US History and Cultural History Classes
  • A more critical lens for understanding the culture we consume daily
  • Understanding the roots of modern popular culture
  • Explore the overlapping themes in US History
  • Gain skills in primary research, report writing

I have paired this with the image of the book I would use for this portion of the course- What is American Cultural History? While tackling something like what is our topic of study, I think it would be useful to cover the What’s in it for me?
