HIST 335 The History of an Institution: (subtitle)
This course focuses on the micro-history of an influential institution and how it led and responded to larger political, economic, and cultural changes over time. The course may be organized around a business or corporation (the Dutch East India Company, the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, the United Fruit Company); a university, school, hospital, museum; a state or federal agency; or an international or non-governmental agency (the United Nations, the Red Cross, Amnesty International). Students study the origins and evolution of this particular institution or organization, its goals, policies, practices, relationships, and changes over time. Students also develop their own projects on an institution of their choice. This course is repeatable with different institutions as subjects.
