This course focuses on the major themes and frameworks employed by historians who write on African American Women's History. Topics we will explore include: African American women in Slavery; Black Feminist Theory; African American women and Black Power; violence against African American women; and African American women in the Era of Black Lives Matter. Prior enrollment in History, African American Studies and/or Women and Gender Studies courses are encouraged. History 100W fulfills the upper-division writing requirement for UCI and the historical writing requirement for the History Major. The requirements, set by the school and the department, are absolute.  Our goal in this class is to analyze how historians approach a topic, examine evidence, and create arguments. This means that we will be doing several short assignments, each of which will employ a different form of historical writing.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Good luck with the new quarter!

Best,
Michelle
