TF NEEDED FOR COURSE:

General Education 1073 / Guns in the U.S., A Love Story, with Instructor Caroline E. Light

Fall 2024, T & Th 9:00-10:15am

 

Course description:

The U.S. comprises 5% of the world’s population but holds approximately 40% of the world’s guns. We also experience more gun-related deaths than any economically comparable nation. How did the nation become a “gun culture,” and whose rights and interests does widespread armament serve? Who is included in the Second Amendment’s appeal to “the right of the people to have and bear arms,” and how have notions of race, gender, class, and sexuality framed popular understandings of “good guys” and “good women” whose armed citizenship is required for the nation’s security? We’ll read analyses from public health, history, literary/cultural studies, political science, and gender/ethnic studies to help unpack collective assumptions and historical blind spots about the purposes and effects of contemporary gun ownership.

 

NoteTwice weekly lecture plus an additional one-hour section TBA. Synchronous attendance is required. Class meetings will not be recorded.

 

Preferred skills: experience teaching controversial topics, including gender/sexuality and race/ethnicity; basic knowledge of U.S. culture and history. 

To apply: please send your CV and teaching evaluations (if available) to clight@fas.harvard.edu
