According to Wendell Berry, regionalism is simply "local life
aware of itself." In this course we will explore the political
and social history of the area most of us call "home": Oregon
Country, Oregon Territory, and the state of Oregon. Through lectures,
readings, film and discussion we will examine the connections between
the local, national and international as they pertain to this place.
Professor Katy Barber will be teaching Oregon History
again during Winter term 2004.
