Home on the range, home, sweet home, home is where the heart is, home is calling, bless our happy home, theres no place like home, my old Kentucky home, you cant go home again, Ill be home for Christmas, and Robert Frost’s claim that “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.”
As a metaphor for being and belonging, HOME is central to exploring American history, politics, literature, culture, architecture, race relations, economics, folklore, and popular culture. By focusing on the American home as a place, a theory, an experience, a fantasy, and a media construct, this course provides an introduction to the interdisciplinary study of America.
