Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to:
understand and articulate the importance of historical inquiry and its connection to personal and group identities;
describe the process of social development and the motivation for pioneering;
articulate and connect the elements of social transformation to several human contexts;
write about and present particular aspects of change and conflict stimulated by the awareness of oppression and justice;
articulate an awareness of one's personal cultural context;
develop networks among and between persons of different culture and/or class;
identify and articulate several socioeconomic factors that describe socio-ethnic contexts; and
identify and make connections among the relationships that connect one's own socio-ethnic heritage and background to the socio-ethnic heritages and backgrounds of others.
Students may engage the content in a wide range of possibilities in and out of class. Where appropriate, students will receive individual and group guidance for their choices. All learners will travel to Jacksonville, IL, and experience the land, the people, the institutions, the homes and the culture first-hand. A variety of resources are available for anyone who wants to choose a group option. There will be two trips to Jacksonville for research, tours, conversations, and interaction with local historians and residents.
