In the course Sex, Love, Family: Relationships in American History from Birth To Death we explore how Americans’ most intimate bonds have and have not changed over the last two centuries, paying particular attention to romantic arrangements and family dynamics since the 1950s.
Students and instructors will use this online publishing tool to craft an essay that reveals the history of an everyday object, practice, or social type related to intimate American life. Each student has a dedicated page on which they will publish their essay and link to outside resources (images, video, music) as evidence and illustration for their argument. Instructors and students will provide feedback through online comments, and will also have the opportunity to learn from one another through the writing process.
