POL 355 - The Politics and Legacies of the Sixties

3 Credit(s) DIII V W

This course will discuss the politics of “The Sixties,” although it will use the concept of the “long sixties” covering the fifties through the seventies to allow a fuller understanding of the origins of and diffusion of “The Sixties.” As such it will analyze both key political issues and different political trends within “The Sixties” in order to challenge students to think about the influences and legacies of the political, economic, social and cultural movements and events of the sixties on contemporary society. Three lecture hours per week.
