What was life like one hundred years ago? In 1905, Einstein published papers that revolutionized physics, and Freud published works that described his non-traditional approaches to psychology. It was the year that established Willa Cather as a great writer. It was a time when artists, architects and musicians were pushing the boundaries of what was "acceptable." It was the year that Mark Twain used a book to raise awareness of the abuses in the Belgian Congo and the year that Upton Sinclair worked to expose the abuses of the meat-packing industry in the United States. It was a time of tremendous change. It was a time in which amazing historical figures were alive. Join us as we attempt to transport ourselves back in time by reading the newspapers, books and magazines of the time and by getting to know the people and ideas that were alive in 1905. Help us reconstruct some of what life was like one hundred years ago. Students wishing to earn 12 credits should consider taking the 4-credit Paradoxical Physics course as a companion to this program.
