AMST 350 Critical Decades The 1960's 3 credits
| Few decades in recent American history have generated more controversy than the 1960s. An era once memorably described by the expression, "if you can remember the sixties you weren’t really there," this was an age of remarkable political and social upheaval. Beginning with a brief look at the allegedly conformist 1950s and ending in the 1970s with Watergate and the resignation of Richard Nixon, this course will examine the political, cultural, and social aspects of that turbulent decade -- the 1960s. Note: Course may be repeated for credit for a maximum of six credits when topic varies, with permission of the department. For more information contact campbe@umbc.edu. |
