Professor  

Twentieth Century America in Film and History

Taught by Paul Spaeth and Phillip Payne

Several people have asked about the Tuesday film showings.  The class meets on Wednesday.  The films for the class will be shown on Tuesday in P. 305.  These showings are not mandatory.  You do have to watch the assigned films before class discussion, but if you wish to watch them on your own that is fine.
