QSS 30.05 Topics in Digital History: U.S. History Through Census Data
This course focuses on using data from historical censuses (1850-2000) to examine U.S. history. We will discuss what the census tells us about the past, the role of the census in policy-making, and the history of the census. The course comprises four units: race, (im)migration, work, and family. For each, you will learn how to find, analyze, and visualize census data using R and how to write about quantitative historical analysis in a digital medium.
