Re-Envisioning Modern America

Re-Envisioning Modern America This panel gathers historical research capstones by undergraduate seniors that interrogate identities and ideologies in the U.S. from the late 19th century through the 1960s. How did cultural expectations shape the way Americans thought about work and leisure, health and sexuality, in the modern era? Using diverse sources and methodologies, these place-conscious projects examine how gender and class played out across wild, rural, suburban, and urban geographies.
