HIS 157 - AMERICAN POPULATION HISTORY

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

History

Description:

This course traces how the size of population of the territory that now constitutes the United States has changed from the pre-colonial era to contemporary times. Population size reflects migrations, births and deaths. To investigate those three factors, the course explores topics such as the slave trade, war, disease, patterns of economic and sexual behavior and the ways in which gender, ethnicity/race and class are embedded in America's population dynamics. The course utilizes quantitative information as well as other types of evidence. Students need only basic math skills to master the course's quantitative content.
