The Making of Modern America: The United States since 1920 Affiliate (AMER0051)

This module offers a critical introduction to United States history from the end of World War I to the present day. It is made up of four thematic sections which focus on: the state and political development; gender and sexuality; the US and the world; and race and ethnicity. Throughout, we will focus on historiographical questions that occupy scholars and interrogate change and continuity in political and social ideology during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As the module progresses you will develop a keen understanding of the interconnected nature of these overarching themes in American life and use this to assess particular events or thematic issues in their broader context. By the end of the module you will have a solid factual understanding of the United States since 1920, a critical understanding of the historical processes that have shaped the country over the past hundred years, and the ability to construct more nuanced analyses of the US past and present.
