GEN 290-01 (Spring) - Women & Men Go to War: Warriors & Contemporary Conflict

In this course we will discuss the major U.S. military conflicts from the Vietnam War to the Wars on Terror and their impacts on American culture. In addition to reading firsthand accounts from women and men that served during these conflicts we will watch documentaries and films inspired by the wars. We will also hear frequently from local veterans that served in the conflicts as guest speakers about their experiences during and after their involvement in war.
