Senior Seminar; Telling War Stories: Using Oral History to Write Military History
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg, P-F
GenEd: DSSP
Studies of war often focus on great generals, weapons technology, and battlefield maneuvers. This course instead concentrates on the "war stories" of ordinary people. Using first-person oral histories, students will research and write an original historical research paper focused on the "human side" of war.
