This website serves as the hub for Tona Hangen’s section of US History II US Since 1877 (HI 112-03) in the Spring 2017 semester at Worcester State University. The class meets Mon/Wed 3:30 – 4:15 in Sullivan 314.

You will need your own copies of these books. Please purchase/rent them from the college bookstore or online (paper or e-book, your choice) during the first week of class.

PLEASE NOTE: You may wonder whether you need the textbook’s online access code which may not come with rented textbooks. The answer is NO. Feel free to rent or buy used, we will *not* need any online access to the publisher’s materials.

From this website, you can download the syllabus or access it online, stay up to date with course news and any changes, see the guidelines for the course papers and projects, and follow links to my recommended history and writing resources on the web.
