Featured Course
(HIST 3910-002) Utah & the Pacific
Utah and the Pacific explores the role that Utahns have played in the development of Asia and various Pacific Islands, and the role that people from the Pacific have played in the development of Utah. In particular, the course discusses American colonialism in the Philippines and on islands including Guam and Samoa; World War; Japanese internment in Utah; conflicts like those in Korea and Vietnam and the role of Utahns in the US military; relations between the LDS Church (Mormons) and sites across the Pacific; and immigration from the Asia-Pacific to the United States. In all of this, we focus on the particular place that Utah has had in America’s Pacific relations. The course frequently includes trips off campus to Museums, memorials, or other sites around Salt Lake City.
