Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of Oregon/HIST 463 Consumerism in Modern America (Fall)

In this class, we will dive into the history of American consumerism by studying advertising, commodities, popular culture, and economic systems. We will focus especially on the mid-twentieth century, a period of massive growth and consolidation of the consumer economy. Students will be working to edit and/or write articles related to the history of consumerism in the mid-20th-century United States, from the Depression through the 1970s.
