This course will explore the origins and development of our belief in the “American Dream.”

From Jefferson and de Tocqueville, through The Great Gatsby and into the age of Trump, we’ll examine different interpretations of the American Dream and address important questions. Does it still exist? Should it? If so, in what form? Is some version of an American Dream central to our democracy?
