Section Information for Fall 2015

In the 1960s, Americans trusted their government and stopped trusting their government. They protested nonviolently and rioted in the streets. They experimented with sex, reaffirmed gender roles, built marvelous machines, put their bodies upon the gears, sent troops to Vietnam, called troops home from Vietnam, smoked dope, demanded law and order, invented new music, and shouted at their children to turn it down. In this course, students will explore the collision of liberal, radical, and conservative Americans in this storied decade. They will look beyond the stereotypes to understand the period in its full complexity and its resonance for today.
