at the University of Mary Washington
Thanks to Hurricane Irene, we’ll be moving our History and American Studies introductory meeting for 485 students from Monday, 8/29, to Wednesday, 8/31 at 5 pm in Monroe 346.
This meeting is for students in American Studies or History who are enrolled in a 485 senior thesis course for this current Fall semester.
All students who are doing a History or American Studies 485 (senior thesis) should plan on attending a mandatory meeting with Dr. Jeffrey McClurken on Monday, August 29th. The meeting will be held at 5 p.m. in Monroe 346, the new classroom on the 3rd floor of the renovated Monroe Hall.
Syllabi for both HIST485 and AMST485 are now available at the site here (see page links above.)
When the Civil War ended, Confederate veterans and their families were faced with rebuilding their lives while also coming to terms with defeat. Jeffrey McClurken will share his research on how Confederate veteran families adjusted to life in the postwar South during an interview on the “With Good Reason” public radio program beginning Saturday, August 20.
Author of a new book that’s being called the “most complete community-based study of how Confederate veteran families adjusted in the postwar South,” Jeffrey McClurken is Associate Professor and Chair of the History and American Studies Department at the University of Mary Washington.
The interview can be heard on August 20 at 4:30 p.m. on WCVE 88.9 FM and on Monday, August 22 at 12:30 a.m. on WAMU 88.5 FM. A podcast for online listening is also available here.
