PO 358 Seminar: American Culture War (Fall: 3)
By Instructor permission only; please email Prof. Wolfe at wolfe@bc.edu
for instructor permission.
Since at least the 1960s, pundits and social scientists have talked about
the existence of a profound culture war in the United States. On issues
ranging from abortion to immigration to homosexuality, we have been told,
America is divided into two major camps, one leaning to the left and the
other to the right. This course will examine the evidence behind such assertions,
concentrating on some of the key issues around which theories of America's
culture war are organized.
