HIST 382 - Remembering the Modern City

This class interrogates the role that memory and history have played in the formation of modern urban landscapes and identities during the 19th and 20th centuries. Besides introducing theoretical and global case studies, the course considers the layering of metahistorical significance upon sites in the Twin Cities and includes an archival research component. Meets the post-1800, and the global and/or comparative history requirements, and can count towards the Environment or Global/Comparative fields. Prerequisite(s): One 100- or 200- level history course or consent of instructor. Offered infrequently. (4 Credits)
