This Website is the product of a Davis Honors Challenge section of American Studies 30 (Spring Quarter, 2007). The class, entitled “Images of America and Americans in Popular Culture,” explored the relationship between images and ideology, between social structure and representation.


As their inspiration, the DHC students took Chicago Public Radio’s award-winning program, This American Life. The students of the DHC section looked and listened at their own community and crafted, wrote, recorded, and edited the stories on this website.
