HIST 314. Oregon Hidden Histories. 4 Credits.
Lane County, home of the University of Oregon, is not known for its racial, ethnic, and religious diversity. Yet indigenous inhabitants, white settlers, Black residents, Muslims and Jews, and immigrants and Americans with roots in every continent have made their homes here. This workshop-style class engages students in conducting original historical resources about local hidden histories, writing them into a narrative, and sharing them with the public. Students acquire research, writing, revision, and web design skills as they produce a polished web publication.
