HIST 707

The United States and the Second World War

HIST 707 is a graduate research seminar that treats America's road into and through World War II as a problem in interpretation rather than a fixed narrative, asking why an isolationist republic became a global belligerent and what that transformation cost and produced at home and abroad. You'll work through a dense reading list spanning classics like Taylor and Beevor alongside home-front accounts from Blum and Terkel, deliver a verbal presentation, draft a paper proposal, write a term essay, and sit a take-home final. Expect to spend most of your time locating sources, weighing competing historiographical arguments, and defending your own reading in seminar discussion.
