  15. America in the 40s: culture and society
    Course start date:  Tue 6 May 2025

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Zoe Crombie, Pauline Greene, Mark Malcomson, Dale Mineshima-Lowe, Patricia Sweeney, Ian Tucknott
    The bombing of Pearl Harbor brought Americans into WW2, while the European need for goods pulled the USA out of the Depression of the 30s, providing new opportunities for women, African Americans and other people of colour.



    Post-War America saw a new energy, of hope but also despair. This online intertextual course explores the political, social and cultural context of 1940s America through a study of the literature, history, music, film and art of the period.



    With different tutors for each specialism, the course provides a 'taster' in each subject as a gateway to further study in understanding this fascinating period in American culture and society.
