HC 875 - Here, There, and Everywhere: The 1960s as Global History3 credits
This class, organized around the tumultuous year 1968, looks at the 1960s in international perspective, exploring the connections between events, social movements, key figures, and forms of cultural expression in disparate regions. It focuses on the dramatic challenges to entrenched forms of political, economic, and military power, as well as to hierarchies of race, gender, and class. It explores the meaning of the 1960s as “living history,” both by considering representations of the era within popular memory and by employing some of the experimental pedagogy of the 1960s. Key texts include works of history, memoirs, social theory, and literature, as well as films and popular music. Units will cover events in the United States, Europe, and Latin America; the international “language of dissent”; global countercultures; transformations of everyday life; and the question of legacies.
