Course Description
This is a hands-on course for learning how to “see” and analyze visual sources as historians do. The course works with a variety of historical sources such as photos, comics, maps, and movies; considers theories about visuality, reads successful examples of visual history, learns methods for engaging with visual material (including how to apply lenses of gender, race/ethnicity, and class), and analyzes visual sources that students themselves select. By the end of the course, students will be able to see the world anew. Students learn the theory and methods for analyzing visual sources for work in history; develop “lenses” on gender/sexuality, race, class, and colonialism; and gain exposure to a more general skill of information literacy.

Course Description
This course examines the complex social, economic, and political forces that have shaped American immigration over the past 400 years, with a particular emphasis on the immigrant experience since 1870. The course explores how immigrants and their descendants have shaped, and been shaped by, American political and economic conditions and have contributed to evolving notions of democratic citizenship and American national identity. Topics include patterns of adjustment (and resistance) to American capitalist and democratic culture; debates over immigration policy and immigration restriction; the racialization of immigrants and the overall impact of race, gender, and ethnicity on the immigrant experience; the role of immigrants in labor organizations and radical politics; tensions around marriage, the family, and children; intergenerational conflict within immigrant families; the contemporary “crisis” around immigration and border security; and the immigrant experience as expressed in popular culture. In the second half of the course literary works by immigrant authors from a variety of backgrounds are analyzed.
