Oral Concurrent Session: History: World War I and “Ordinary” Americans. Chair: Dr. Maura Hametz

Personal lives and concerns are often at the core of popular interest in history. Students in the Senior Seminar in History in Spring 2018 explored perspectives on World War I through the lens of the experiences of participants at home and abroad. Students will present a snapshot of their research and the outlines of the overall research project, the use of archives, and the ways in which we remember and study the past will be explored in this panel.
