HIS 3570 - History, Memory and War

3 cr
This course focuses on three of America’s wars with Asia (World War II in the Pacific; the Korean War, and the Vietnam War), and provides an opportunity for each student to undertake a research project on a war of his or her choosing. The course takes a cultural and comparative approach to history and memory. We examine the public history controversies surrounding the representation and interpretation of wars, and we analyze the social, political, and personal interplay of history, collective memory, and national consciousness by comparing Asian, European, and American experiences.
