Description
-
Instructor Brad Tolliver. Oregon’s fascinating history will be presented in a 2-part PowerPoint
presentation, loaded with pictures and maps over two classes. The nine basic divisions of
Oregon history will be discussed along with five different themes woven into the narrative: the
European/ Indigenous relationship; the urban/rural divide; progressivism vs conservatism; race
relations; and the transition from an extractive/natural resource based economy to the new
digital economy/high tech economy. Time will be allotted at the end of the classes for input and
discussion of the five themes. A handout will outline the five themes so the class members can
gather their thoughts about each theme. When the class is finished it is our hope and
expectation that you will have a greater appreciation for and have greater insight into how
Oregon became what it is today. Two class dates: April 16 & 23
