    Primary Instructor - Spring 2018 / Spring 2019 / Spring 2020
    In the 21st century we see a widely divided U.S. society, with a privileged "one percent" on one end, and a striking pattern of poverty on the other. How did the U.S. get this way? This course shows students how to explore social change through the people of the 20th century, their experiences, and the words they left behind. Recommended prerequisite: HIST 1025.
