In this course students learn to study the United States from multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary angles.

Yet it also covers the development of American culture in a chronological way. Students learn how to close read a monument by paying attention to its physical features, but also how to read a monument symbolically, and how its meaning may shift over time.
