H109 Dakota, Polish, Hmong: Cultures That Shaped Winona4 credit(s)
This course serves as an anchor for the First year Experience by welcoming you into the Saint Mary’s University community and providing an opportunity for development of academic skills in the discipline of history. Inquiry into the experience of immigrants coming to, and sometimes departing from, the land now called Winona will allow you to develop the academic habits and ways of thinking to take forward into an Interdisciplinary Minor of your choice. This course incorporates the common themes of Place, Purpose, and Well Being by examining the ways in which different cultures engaged in the process of place-making in Winona, the purposes that brought them here and that they developed here, and the cultural, political, and economic factors that contributed to their attempts to establish healthy communities in this place. It also considers the role of students as immigrants, of a sort, in the history of Winona and examines their evolving relationship to this Place, the Purpose that brought them here and that they develop here, and their role in contributing to the Well Being of this community.
