History of Homesteading

Homesteading is often described as one of the most significant experiences in the history of westward expansion and European settler-states. This course's objective is to comparatively examine the history of homesteading in the United States, Canada and Australia and its far-reaching effects upon landscape and people. We will think critically about this history by studying secondary sources, historical novels and film. Students will be expected to participate in class discussions, write and present two shorts paper and complete two exams.
