For over thirty years, the American Antiquarian Society has offered an annual honors seminar in American Studies to undergraduates from the five four-year colleges in Worcester. This year’s seminar, titled “The Nineteenth-Century Networked Nation: The Politics of American Technology, 1776-1876,” is being taught by Daniel Klinghard, Associate Professor of Political Science at the College of the Holy Cross. The four students from Assumption College who were selected to participate in the seminar—Maura Corbett, Jason Duke, Jennifer Gargan, and Erich Grosse—will be blogging about their experience in the seminar and discussing their research projects as they take shape. You can follow their seminar blog here.
