Chicago: The Life and History of the Western Metropolis - 4307
Description
This course is for registered Fenwick students.

Noted historians William Cronin and Donald Miller have labeled Chicago, respectively, “Nature’s Metropolis” and the “City of the Century”. Whatever one’s preferred moniker may be, Chicago clearly emerged as the dominant city of the Midwest - one that would celebrate and reflect the traditions, ideas, culture, and major themes of Western Civilization. This summer school course explores the ecological conditions and economic origins of Chicago in the 19th and 20th centuries. Particular emphasis is placed on the influence of Western ideas and architecture as it can be found in the city. Students explore, on-site, the historical movements that have had the most profound influence on the city to this day. This course is reserved to those entering their junior or senior years of study at Fenwick.

Please note: The school will be closed on Wednesday, June 19th in observance of Juneteenth and Thursday, July 4th AND Friday, July 5th in observance of Independence Day.
