| Description: | Populists & Progressives From 1890-1929, the United States experienced a groundswell of public participation in U.S. politics and social movements. In this course, we will study the "calamity howlers," social reformers, agitators, politicians, religious leaders, newspaper writers, and organizations that shaped public rhetoric and political action during this period. In surveying this era, the course will consider agrarianism, temperance and prohibition, suffrage, civil rights, political corruption, and consumer health and safety. The course will engage the rhetoric of national figures such as Theodore Roosevelt, William Jennings Bryan, Ida B. 皇冠足球比分_澳门皇冠体育-在线|平台@lls, and Francis Willard; as well as Hoosiers Eugene Debs, Thomas Marshall, John Hurty, and Naomi Anderson. Students will read primary texts and archival materials, as well as scholarly essays relevant to this period. This course can be applied to the Lit/Fine Arts distribution requirement as RHE-270, or to the HIS/PHI/REL distribution requirement as HIS-240. |
