Knox College Moodle: Courses

What were the 1960s all about? Why does the period continue to fascinate people today? Over the next ten weeks, we will immerse ourselves in the “sixties experience” – the events, ideas, values, sights and sounds of this exciting and important decade – and ask what this era reveals about America’s past, present and future. Utilizing the approaches of both history and American Studies, we will examine the changing American values and practices regarding sex and race, poverty and justice, apathy and activism, violence and peace, drugs, music, and other factors that define the period.
