Course A
Ordinary People:
Putting a Face on Historic Times
Multi-professor course
Tuesdays, 9:30 – 11:00 a.m.
This course will look at specific places and moments in history as seen through the lens of little-known voices and often forgotten lives from those times. It’s a way of humanizing history through various personal documents and secondary source material that tell of the thoughts, achievements, and intriguing stories of ordinary people. What was their reality? How do these personal narratives reflect on the broader historical landscape?
