History of American Citizenship. HSTAA 110 examines how, when, and why different groups of people (e.g., white men, peoples of color, women, immigrants) became eligible for citizenship throughout American history. The course explores how and why for many peoples, at many times, citizenship did not confer equal rights to all. An independent research paper connects the student's family history (or some other family's history) to broader themes in U.S. history. (Students are welcome, but not required, to write the research paper about their own families. Thus students who come to UW from other countries will have the option of researching and writing about a family from the U.S., if they choose, and will be offered suggestions of texts or other materials on wh! ich to base their research.)
