Abstract
“The Social History of Queens and Brooklyn Research Project” is a research assignment that culminates in an original research paper. Students will research a topic of their interest related to 20th century social history in two of the city's outer boroughs, Queens and/or Brooklyn. The goal is to explore everyday histories of regular people, including how ordinary people experienced major events (political, social), the institutions that shape peoples’ lives, cultural practices, and family and community dynamics in New York City in the 20th and 21st centuries.
