GPSP 377
Women of the Great Plains


Who is a woman of the Great Plains? Such a question frequently conjures up an inaccurately conventional image of a female with specific characteristics regarding her race, class, ethnicity, and religion as well as the place and time in which she lived. This 3-credit, on-line course examines gender throughout time and space in the American and Canadian Great Plains. Various disciplines—such as anthropology, geography, and history–inform explorations of gender in relation to topics such as the environment, popular culture, and violence.
 
GPSP 378
Cultural Encounters on the Great Plains


This is a 3-credit, upper-division interdisciplinary course focusing on the interaction of the diverse cultures that have immigrated and migrated to the Great Plains. We will study instances of first contact between Native people and European cultures, the movement west by Euro-American and non-European cultures, and post-settlement intercultural relations. Additionally, we will examine the impact of contemporary cultural contact among the diverse people of the Plains.
