Historical Trauma and Transformation Minor

The Historical Trauma and Transformation (H2T) Minor uses place-based learning to cultivate a deep understanding of Tulsa, American, and world history by exploring how collective trauma and responses to it have shaped society and culture. H2T will engage students in meaningful class discussions, hands-on research with archival materials, and excursions to museums and historic sites. Courses will examine contemporary social structures and belief systems within the context of their historical roots that may include a history of racism, colonization, forced migration, and/or genocide. Students will learn how people and cultures survive, thrive, and transform trauma as they shape societal change. 

The minor consists of twelve hours, at least six of which must be taken at the 3000 level or above.
