This course journey tends to the making and meaning of Black people's lives in America upon seizing their freedom and breaking slavery's chains. It sojourns with them through Jim Crow – and its birth and re-birth through the generations. Further, the course follows the emergence and evolution of their freedom calls from Civil Rights and Black Power to Black Lives Matter. Under consideration here too, are Black people's forms of cultural expression, racial consciousness, spatial migrations, and community building. |

How does one sustain a life in the arts? How do artistic, curatorial, philanthropic, academic, and community practices relate to one another and to the organizational structures that support them? How is success defined? Where are the points of entry, and who are the gatekeepers? What is the role of place? Designed for practicing and aspiring artists, arts administrators, curators, cultural critics, and advocates, we employ ecological frameworks to consider the evolution of existing arts infrastructures and our place in their futures. Through readings, group discussions, off-campus engagement with industry practitioners, place-based research, and culminating project proposals, we imagine holistic and innovative approaches to sustained arts engagement that respond to social, cultural, and economic realities. |

In the early twentieth century, struggles against racism, capitalism, and colonialism, encircled the globe. From Irish republicanism in Dublin, Bolshevism in Moscow, revolution in Mexico City, to anti-lynching crusades in Birmingham, these movements represented the largest waves of rebellion sustained by the global economy. This seminar offers an overview of these struggles and spaces. Through examination of primary and secondary sources, students will consider radical social movements from distinct yet overlapping traditions. We will discuss how radicals confronted issues of racism, gender, and nationalism in their revolutionary theories. Taking a uniquely spatial approach, we will observe how geographies of accumulation emerged alongside sites of global resistance. Throughout we will consider these debates' contemporary relevance, observing how global radicalism might be charted in our present world. |

An island uniquely characterized by a liminal political status and a dominant stateside diaspora, the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has been the subject of renewed national attention in the wake of the devastating 2017 Hurricane María and the 2019 "Verano Boricua" which saw the ousting of the governor, Ricardo Rosselló. This course interrogates Puerto Rican culture on its own terms - shifting from traditional definitions of identity formation to contemporary critiques centering historically marginalized communities amidst ongoing climate and economic precarity. Students will work hands-on analyzing diverse (im)material cultural productions, originating from the island and stateside diasporas. Students will engage with Puerto Rican cultural workers as they develop new, critical understandings of the island's cultural legacy and its future. |

This course introduces students to critical theories of racial and class formation. Students will trace how modern racial and labor regimes came into being and how, in turn, they have impacted contemporary debates about capitalism, white nationalism, and populism. Through readings by key theorists in American Studies, students will interrogate new and evolving theories of racial capitalism. Course discussions will explore how critiques of racial capitalism have emerged out of Black freedom, anticolonial, labor, feminist, queer of color, and immigrant struggles. Throughout the course, we will screen films and engage primary sources that inform these debates. By the end of the course, students will be able to define and describe the relationships between racism, capitalism, accumulation, dispossession, and the state's regulation of gender and sexuality. |

With a focus on contemporary issues, this course will examine the complex legacies of colonialism, survival, and resistance in North American indigenous movements for sovereignty. We will analyze current discourses and practices of sovereignty in relation to land, citizenship, ecology, economic development, justice, and politics of gender and race. This analysis will also consider the ways in which indigenous communities in North America engage with indigenous movements globally under contemporary structures of international and transnational politics. Utilizing specific historical events, legal cases, and social movements of significance to contemporary politics of indigeneity and sovereignty, the course will critically examine how diverse forms of oppression, resistance, and transformation shape the struggles for self-governance. |

In this course, through lectures, readings, and discussion - we will follow the lives of Black women in America - a people enslaved by European powers - and then held in the bellies of ships that would sojourn through and across the Atlantic Ocean. Upon arrival to North American soil, their stationing as nonhumans would be solidified. We will trace how this intersectional, racial and gendered status, has followed them through the generations. Centrally, we will tend to the ways and means by which Black women have endeavored to live free and make a way of out of no way. We will unearth the ways in which the margins are, as scholar bell hooks states, "a position and place of resistance." |

This seminar examines people's working relationships with live plants in the early modern world, c. 1500-1800, including through their gardening, farming, foraging, and forest work. Readings will be situated within larger historiographies of Indigenous sovereignty, colonialism, capitalism, slavery, antislavery, and revolution. Plants to be studied in global context may include nutmeg, pepper, sugar, maize, sunflower, rice, coffee, tea, cacao, vanilla, potato, cassava, wheat, cotton, flax, mulberry, indigo, mahogany, maple, pine, oak, tobacco, sassafras, and cinchona. The class will engage with the interdisciplinary fields of health humanities; critical study of botany and natural history; theories and histories of bioprospecting, biopiracy, seed sovereignty, and Indigenous science; intellectual histories of the African diaspora; climate studies; historical political ecology; and environmental humanities. |

How long do the reverberations of slavery last, and how far do they travel? While debates on the memory and legacy of slavery take the national stage, colleges and universities are reckoning with how their own histories of slavery and exploitation may have shaped their pasts and presents. It is Trinity's turn for an honest accounting. Recent scholarship emphasizes slavery's many facets and its far-reaching tendrils. In this course, students will discover Trinity's and Hartford's place in slavery's vast social, cultural, economic, and political networks. Combining archival research and public humanities, we will create projects and archives commemorating Trinity's past, which our community will be able to use as we plot a course for a more equitable future. This course meets the Archival method requirement. |

Students will workshop drafts of their writing throughout the semester. With the guidance of the instructor, they will refine their argumentation within the parameters of their interdisciplinary method. We will balance the use of secondary research, theoretical framing, presentation of evidence, and textual analysis. We will support, think with, and learn from one another as each student completes their project. Approval of the instructor and project's advisor are required. Final grade will be determined by the advisor. |

Starting with the era of the Great Game in the late 19th century and ending with the current "war on terror," the course will explore the transformation and continuation of past social and political conditions, and their representations within the region. This will help illuminate some of the enduring themes in anthropological debates, such as culture contact; empires, territories, and resources; and human agency. |

Drawing upon diverse sources, including ethnography, fiction, biography and investigative journalism, it will examine the ways in which people labor to make a living and to sustain their households. Students will consider such key questions as: What makes work meaningful? How are occupational communities formed? How is work gendered? How have global forces reshaped the nature of work? How do people experience the lack of work? Examples will be drawn from different work environments, including mining, fishing, agriculture, industry, service work, domestic work and intellectual work. |

This course provides an anthropological lens into our individual, collective, and historical experiences of time. Through discussion and engagement with relevant literature, we will explore questions such as: how does culture shape our sense of time? What are the political, economic, and social implications of how time is structured in specific contexts? How are perceived differences in the experiencing of time used in understanding human diversity, and how have they been relevant to how anthropology constructs its “object” of study? As we tackle these questions, we will also take a reflective look at our own experiences of time in various aspects of our lives. |

This class will bring disability studies to bear on anthropological conversations about structural violence, processes of disablement, and the social construction of the body. We will explore disability as identity, condition, and position; the kinds of impairments that count as disabilities and according to what social, medical and political forces; the structural relations between race, gender, class, and disability; disability justice; and the politics of injury and illness. We will consider how disability might enable us to do anthropology differently through practice-based exercises, auto-ethnography, and collaborative and experimental research. Through these experiments, students will develop their own projects to construct the methods of a "crip" anthropology. |

This course explores the increasingly complex ways in which people in industrial and non-industrial societies locate themselves with respect to land and landscape. Contrary to some widespread assumptions regarding the fit between identity and place (i.e., ethnicity and nationalism), we study a range of settings in which people actively construct, contest, and reappropriate the spaces of modern life. Through texts, seminar discussions, films, and a field-based research project as the major exercise, students will explore a number of issues, including cultural persistence and the loss of place; the meaning of the frontier and indigenous land rights struggles; gender and public space; the deterritorialization of culture (i.e., McDonald’s in Hong Kong); and the cultural costs of an increasingly "fast" and high-tech world. |

Cultural neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field that melds neuroscience with cultural anthropology and cultural psychology. It asks: Is culture embodied in the brain? And what are the neurobiological correlates of cultural variation? This course examines how human evolutionary biology has influenced our tendency to socially aggregate and behave in ways that can be predicted based on affiliation with groups that have proscribed values, beliefs, and practices. It surveys the neurobiological markers of inter-group processes and cultural diversity in genes and behavior (e.g., personality, parenting strategies, lifestyle, religion, social rituals, language and material artifacts). Finally, it explores culturally relative definitions of the mind and considers the importance of biopsychosocial approaches for the study of neurodiversity and global mental health disparities. |

An island uniquely characterized by a liminal political status and a dominant stateside diaspora, the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has been the subject of renewed national attention in the wake of the devastating 2017 Hurricane María and the 2019 "Verano Boricua" which saw the ousting of the governor, Ricardo Rosselló. This course interrogates Puerto Rican culture on its own terms - shifting from traditional definitions of identity formation to contemporary critiques centering historically marginalized communities amidst ongoing climate and economic precarity. Students will work hands-on analyzing diverse (im)material cultural productions, originating from the island and stateside diasporas. Students will engage with Puerto Rican cultural workers as they develop new, critical understandings of the island's cultural legacy and its future. |

Because food is necessary to sustain biological life, its production and provision occupy humans everywhere. Due to this essential importance, food also operates to create and symbolize collective life. This seminar will examine the social and cultural significance of food. Topics to be discussed include the evolution of human food systems, the social and cultural relationships between food production and human reproduction, the development of women’s association with the domestic sphere, the meaning and experience of eating disorders, the connection between ethnic cuisines, nationalist movements and social classes, and the causes of famine. |

What if the world and all within it were aware, sentient, and conscious? What if mountains, rivers, forests, and unseen presences were not things, but beings with whom humans are always in relationship? This seminar explores practices from around the world that experience the universe as animate, ensouled, and alive. Students will trace the history of animism from its treatment as a marker of “primitive” religion to its revitalization in contemporary Indigenous thought. By joining ontological philosophy, theories of universal consciousness, and multispecies ethnography, the course reimagines animism as a theory of persons and interconnection. Together, these approaches raise urgent questions about what it means to live in a more-than-human community of relations and why animism matters today. |

Anthropologists are a contentious lot, often challenging the veracity and relevance of each other’s interpretations. In this seminar, students will examine recent manifestations of this vexatiousness. The seminar will consider such questions as: Can culture be regarded as collective and shared? What is the relationship between cultural ideas and practical action? How does one study culture in the postmodern world of "the celluloid, global ethnoscape"? Can the practice of anthropology be fully objective, or does it demand a politics—an understanding that ideas, ours and theirs, are historically situated, politicized realities? Is domination the same everywhere? |

The world is made up of atoms and molecules. This course will center on how chemists determine the structure of organic compounds - molecules that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, chlorine and bromine. The course will start by describing how these atoms can bond together. After this the course will focus on how various analytical methods (infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) can be used to determine how the atoms are joined together to make a certain molecule. No prior knowledge of chemistry is required, but some laboratory work will be done. |

To maintain its life, a living organism depends on thousands of discrete chemical reactions to take place. In this lecture and laboratory course the nature of these chemical reactions will be surveyed and explored. Since nearly all of these reactions are catalyzed using organic and inorganic molecules, an emphasis will be placed on using mechanistic organic and inorganic chemistry to explain how this chemistry occurs. The course will begin with a survey of the bonding and structures of the major biochemical macromolecules: proteins, DNA, RNA, carbohydrates and lipids. It will then explore how living organisms use small molecules to synthesize these larger molecules, followed by how these larger molecules are recycled when they are no longer needed. The course will also explore the chemical events associated with photosynthesis and the electron transport chain. The laboratory part of the course will give students experience in protein isolation and purification, the measurement of enzyme kinetics using instrumental methods of analysis, and the characterization of human DNA using the polymerase chain reaction. |

This course will introduce students to the theory of experimental games and the practice of experimental economics. Students will compare various game theoretical predictions with the actual behavior of players in the laboratory setting. Through experimentation, we will study the adaptation processes and learning that players exhibit in competitive strategic interactions, and the rationale behind traits such as reciprocity, fairness, trust, and altruism considered to be irrational by traditional theory.

How can we use charts and maps to tell meaningful stories in the social sciences? How can we identify when they instead mislead us? In this introductory hands-on course, we will create data visualizations in order to better understand visual design principles and develop critical analysis skills. Students will learn skills in both quantitative reasoning and digital storytelling as we advance from beginner tools to editing code templates. No coding experience is necessary, but curiosity is required. |

How do we learn things in social science? Where does the science come in? And what does this have to do with how we (and others) consume information in the real world? In this course, you will be introduced to the scientific method in the social science context, and you will study a variety of approaches to gathering data and testing hypotheses. Among both quantitative and qualitative research approaches, there are trade-offs, and some methods are better suited to answering a specific question than others. You will practice with both research approaches, as well as examining how misapplications of either approach can cause harm – both in academia and outside of it. |

In many contexts, environmental and social damages can be significantly reduced if consumers substitute towards a greener version of the given products, e.g. organic food, energy efficient appliances, and green diamonds. The course will investigate alternative methods to promote green goods markets. These methods range from regulation to purely voluntary approaches taken by a firm or an entire industry. In addition, the course investigates the role of market competition, technological advances, product labeling and firm image in the development of green markets. The analysis involves the use of microeconomic theory as well as several case studies. |

This course introduces students to the study of the psychological, cognitive, emotional, and social factors that influence, and sometimes bias, economic decision making. It will begin with an overview of what behavioral economics is and its historical origins. This discussion will be followed by a critique of the traditional economic models of decision-making and the development of alternative behavioral models rooted in the idea that human decision-making is not always fully rational. Because experiments are a valuable and often vital tool needed to answer questions raised by behavioral economists, students will be introduced to experimental methods and have the opportunity to review the empirical research conducted by behavioral economists. |

This course provides a comprehensive exploration of the national accounting system and its implications for macroeconomic analysis. The first part of the course introduces the System of National Accounts (SNA) and the main measures of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) using the production, income, and expenditure approaches. The analysis is then extended to a multi-sector economy through Input-Output Tables (IOT), enabling students to examine basic interindustry relationships and calculate production and employment multipliers. The second part of the course introduces stock-flow consistent (SFC) models, which emphasize the connections between the real and financial sectors of the economy within a coherent accounting framework. Throughout the course, a spreadsheet program will be used as the primary tool for exploring IOT and SFC models.

How can we as a society meet the challenges of providing plentiful housing, green energy, and better public transportation? Some scholars and policy advocates have increasingly argued that to create the “abundant” future we desire, we need to rethink how government operates and under what constraints. Others argue that the problem lies not in government failures alone, but, more importantly, in the inability of private markets to provide this abundance. We will explore these ideas through readings, case studies, interviews with policy makers, and conducting our own research in collaboration with local community organizations interested in rethinking these policy challenges. |

The author of the most widely used macroeconomic textbook states that "There are two steps to learning macroeconomics. First, to see it as it is today. Second, to understand how it got there." This seminar tackles step two. It reviews macroeconomic thought of the last 100 years, from the Keynesian revolution in the 1930s to new macroeconomic directions in the wake of COVID-19 Students will learn how developments in macroeconomic thought and policies follow closely the social and political economy developments of the last century, including the great depression, decolonization of the Global South, stagflation of the 1970s, the rise of neoliberalism, and the technology boom of the late 20th and early 21st century. |

People in developing countries frequently encounter daily challenges, such as deciding whether to send children to school or to work, low immunization rates, and inadequate infrastructure. Governments of these countries and international organizations attempt to address the issues with various programs and policy interventions. In this seminar, students will critically examine empirical research in development economics exploring these challenges and learn some of the tools used by applied microeconomists to assess policy interventions. |

Since the end of the Second World War, education has emerged as simultaneously a right in and of itself, a crucial space that can either reproduce discriminatory practices or subvert and resist them, and a means through which knowledge of human rights can be promoted. But what do these developments in human rights and education mean in the everyday lives of formerly and currently colonized and oppressed peoples in the US and around the world? Who, if anyone, should have a right to education? If they have a right to education, do they have a right to a particular kind of education? Our course will explore these and other questions through readings, discussions, and a collaborative research project. |

In the United States, literary works have played crucial roles in public controversies and fueled social change. Wielding the written word and the printing press, among other media cultural producers have protested injustice and galvanized reform movements that continue to inform American voices today. Students in this course will explore how literature has responded to-and still refracts for us-the most consequential experiences of American generations past and present: Indian removal, the Civil War, and racial segregation; urbanization, mass immigration, and labor conflict; suffrage; Civil Rights, feminism, globalization, environmental devastation, and Black Lives Matter.

Why study literature? A practical reason: we live in a world of words and this course helps you master that world. But more importantly, literature immerses you in vast new worlds that become more meaningful as you become a better reader. Literature grapples with the fundamental problems of humanity; good, evil, pain, pleasure, love, death. We will read across centuries of English literature, in all genres, to see how great authors have addressed these problems. Through a sustained and rigorous attention to your own writing and interpretive skills, the course will leave you better prepared to explore and contribute to the written world. This course offers skills required for the English major, but welcomes anyone who wishes to become a better writer, reader, and thinker. |

Shakespeare was—and still is—an integral and interesting part of popular culture, particularly music, television, marketing and even fashion. However, people don't always catch the references. This course will introduce students to the playwright’s broad influence by tracing understudied, or less obvious, allusions to select plays such as Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Macbeth and Hamlet. For example, the late rapper Tupac Shakur has a song called “Something Wicked,” a Macbeth reference; Adele quotes Hamlet in a song on her album 25; Jordan Peele’s film Get Out has resonances of Othello; and the brand Yoshi has an entire leather goods collection devoted to “honoring” Shakespeare’s iconic plays. But that’s not all. Shakespeare’s seemingly boundless impact touches TV shows, news stories, ad campaigns and more. As such, this course will ask students to identify and investigate where, how and why Shakespeare shows up in our contemporary world as we think expansively about the playwright's influence and its cultural, historical transferability over the centuries. While interrogating allusions to the plays, we will consider the fandom phenomenon, reflecting on what it means to be or not to be a fan of the "great white poet." |

This course takes the Rom-Com more seriously, as a genre that reflects and critiques the conventions that govern gender, sexuality, and marriage. We will examine two pivotal periods in the development of the genre: the turn of the 17th century, focusing on William Shakespeare, and the turn of the 19th century, focusing on Jane Austen. Each author's works will be paired with film adaptations that, in reimagining their source material, challenge audiences to rethink the connections between gender, desire, race, class, and social convention. |

Readers of medieval literature (alongside its characters) often find themselves in fabulous but disorienting settings-from fairy "otherworlds" to the Kingdom of Heaven-where they encounter supernatural beings, unexplainable events, dazzling objects, magic, and the miraculous: in short, medieval texts challenge readers to take "the marvelous" seriously. This course will explore the concept of "the marvelous" in medieval literature, not only what it is, but what it does, what we as readers are invited to do when confronted with the logically or textually unexplainable. Considering such subjects as gender, sexuality, and race alongside accounts of fairies, mystical visions, and otherworlds, we will explore how the marvelous can provide the catalyst necessary for reimagining new possibilities in the "real" world. |

Indigenous writers have used fiction, autobiography, and poetry to explore what it means to be a Native person today, whether that is in an urban context or on a reservation. From poetry to historical fiction to dystopian futurist science fiction, Native writers celebrate the resistance and survival that has shaped their lives and communities despite a history of colonization. In this course we will examine a selection of works by Native American writers from across the United States and Canada, using these works to gain insight into the ongoing cultural experience of Native people. |

The 30-year period from 1950-1980 is often regarded as the golden age of European cinema and World Cinema. Launched by the post-war epiphanies of Italian Neorealism, a new cinematic language, modernism, was forged by movements of young radicals and older directors eager to transcend their past achievements. Embraced by an expanding audience of cinephiles (self-educated film-lovers), modernist cinema became one of the most dynamic and significant phenomena of 20th century culture. This course offers an introduction to this essential area of film history and will situate key directors and movements within the exciting political and cultural contexts of the times. |

“Postmodern” is the term used most often to describe the unique features of global culture (art, architecture, philosophy, cinema, literature) since the 1970s. And yet there is practically no agreement about what those features might be: is postmodernism ironic or serious, flat or deep, real or hyper-real, alive or defunct? In this course we will examine competing and often contradictory views of postmodernism, with the goal of developing a historical perspective on the contemporary world we live in now. Texts will be divided evenly between philosophy/theory (Lyotard, Baudrillard, Jameson, Fukuyama, Hutcheon), cinema (possible films: Bladerunner) and literature (possible authors: Borges, Pynchon, Barthelme, Murakami, Foster Wallace). The seminar will culminate with a field trip to New York City. English 425 and English 825 are the same course. |

Non-Mexican authors—and Mexicans who write in English—are rarely addressing a Mexican audience when they set novels or films in Mexico. Their intended readers are “us,” elsewhere in the world, perhaps especially those of us in the Colossus of the North. Some of the last century’s greatest English-language novels—by Malcolm Lowry, Katherine Anne Porter, D.H. Lawrence, and Cormac McCarthy—depict Mexico.
This course, however, turns to works created within the urgency of now, rejecting political simplifications in favor of exploring a culture more ancient than our own, with whom we share both a border and a fraught modernity. A recurring theme through Mexican history is the tension between the "Macho" and "La Malinche" (Malintzin), the Indigenous woman who translated for Cortés—long vilified as a traitor and seductress, now reclaimed as a feminist icon of resilience and intelligence.
We begin with Camilla Townsend’s groundbreaking Malintzin’s Choices, then examine works by Cristina Rivera Garza, Roberto Bolaño, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Valeria Luiselli, Jennifer Clement, and Óscar Martínez, among others. Readings and films will explore overlapping themes—violence (political, sexual, or narco), coming of age, immigration, identity, class, and the Borderland—through multiple genres and voices. |

Shakespeare has long been celebrated for his 'universality': for being "not of an age, but for all time"; for inventing "the human." In this course, we will study selected films adapted from Shakespeare plays as a way to think about this idea of Shakespeare's universality. We will begin by considering what we mean when we say he is universal, and what is at stake in describing Shakespeare as universal. We will then study a handful of Shakespeare plays and their adaptations, some of which translate Shakespeare's plays to different times, places, and sometimes languages. Plays may be selected from Taming of the Shrew, Much Ado About Nothing, Romeo and Juliet, 1 Henry IV, Hamlet, King Lear, Cymbeline, and The Tempest. |

Though a superstar during his early career, Herman Melville watched his reputation decline as his literary ambitions escalated. One review of his seventh novel bore the headline, "Herman Melville Crazy." Not until the 20th century did even his best-known work, Moby Dick, attract considerable attention, but it now stands at the center of the American literary pantheon. Melville's work merits intensive, semester-long study not only because he is a canonical author of diverse narratives—from maritime adventures to tortured romances to philosophical allegories—but also because his career and legacy themselves constitute a narrative of central concern to literary studies and American culture. Through reading and discussion of several of his major works, we will explore Melville's imagination, discover his work's historical context, and think critically about literary form. |

We are inundated with many forms of media in contemporary life: film, tv, movies, books, texts, tweets, Snapchats, dms, etc. While this might seem like a recent development, this class will argue that America has always been a multimedia culture. Returning to the 17th and 18th centuries, we will examine sermons, speeches, pamphlets, diaries, wampum, Bibles, primers and more to reveal the complex communication networks of early America. In particular, we will consider how Black and Indigenous authors brought their own media traditions to writing and printing in English. Authors may include William Bradford, Anne Bradstreet, Benjamin Franklin, Samson Occom, Phillis Wheatley Peters, and Charles Brockden Brown. |

NOTE: This course is open to senior English majors only. |

NOTE: This course fulfils the capstone requirement. |
| |
What is creativity? This capstone invites students to reflect on what they’ve learned about literary innovation as English majors and then consider how to deploy their insights after college. Which writers seem, to you, particularly creative? What makes a work, an artist, an era, creative? Are there particular character traits or circumstances that inspire creativity or can anyone, at any time, be creative? What’s the relationship between creativity and innovation; creativity and tradition; creativity and resistance? Reading a series of secondary works alongside primary texts (by, for instance, William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, William Wordsworth, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, James Baldwin, and Jericho Brown), we’ll debate these issues in class and in written work (analytic essays and "creative writing"). Trying out new forms, experimenting with structures, our final project will be a manifesto on creativity, a personal guide for each student to use as they work after Trinity to lead reflective, creative, generative lives. |

The course analyzes the domestic and global politics of how countries in the Global South are dealing/preparing to deal with climate change and its effects. We will discuss the particular challenges that climate change presents to countries across the Global South characterized by weaker institutions, lower state capacity, and scarce economic resources. Using countries and subnational units in the Global South as case studies, we will discuss issues: how interest groups shape mitigation and adaptation strategies, why citizens support climate denialists, and how different political regimes (autocracies vs. democracies) approach climate change. We will also study the global and domestic aspects of environmental injustices created by climate change and the world's current mitigation and adaptation strategies. |

The 30-year period from 1950-1980 is often regarded as the golden age of European cinema and World Cinema. Launched by the post-war epiphanies of Italian Neorealism, a new cinematic language, modernism, was forged by movements of young radicals and older directors eager to transcend their past achievements. Embraced by an expanding audience of cinephiles (self-educated film-lovers), modernist cinema became one of the most dynamic and significant phenomena of 20th century culture. This course offers an introduction to this essential area of film history and will situate key directors and movements within the exciting political and cultural contexts of the times. |

“Postmodern” is the term used most often to describe the unique features of global culture (art, architecture, philosophy, cinema, literature) since the 1970s. And yet there is practically no agreement about what those features might be: is postmodernism ironic or serious, flat or deep, real or hyper-real, alive or defunct? In this course we will examine competing and often contradictory views of postmodernism, with the goal of developing a historical perspective on the contemporary world we live in now. Texts will be divided evenly between philosophy/theory (Lyotard, Baudrillard, Jameson, Fukuyama, Hutcheon), cinema (possible films: Bladerunner) and literature (possible authors: Borges, Pynchon, Barthelme, Murakami, Foster Wallace). The seminar will culminate with a field trip to New York City. English 425 and English 825 are the same course. |

In this course we will compare and contrast positive and negative assessments of
organizations by outstanding social scientists. Students will analyze their field experiences in light of concepts from these studies. We will also consider how a liberal-arts education might prepare students to achieve ethical standards in
organizations. This seminar is designed for students enrolled in internships in a formal organization (public or private; for-profit or not-for-profit) to place experiences in an academic perspective. This seminar complements your internship by helping you analyze and ground what you have learned in the time in your organization. |

Why are some nations rich and some nations poor? Why are some brimming with entrepreneurship and economic activity and others are not? To what extent or when should markets be considered immoral or moral? Building off of the economic ideas of the first famous economist, Adam Smith, this course will discuss the potential importance, or pitfalls, of institutions, private property rights, and contracts for economic innovation.The course will focus on the formal and informal organizations that underpin and help support exchange. Students will also focus on writing a case study of a formal or informal organization designed to advance economic activity. The course will be reading-intensive and discussion-based. |

This seminar tackles two questions: Why do we outlaw some consensual
behaviors by adults? And should we? Our common work will focus on prohibitions against lifestyles, markets,international migration, and making and taking life. Topics in contested lifestyles are recreational drug use and free marriage.Topics in contested markets are sex, adoption, organs for transplantation, secrecy (blackmail), and wagering on political predictions. Topics in contested ways of making and taking life are genetic engineering, abortion, and assisted suicide. Students will conduct policy debates about various prohibitions. We will devote several weeks towards the end of the semester to individual (or small-group) research projects by students. The research projects may be about topics we have covered or about other prohibitions.
Note: Students who have completed FYSM 105, Prohibitions, may not enroll in this course. |

1776 was a year of wonders in the development of liberty. The Founders published The Declaration of Independence, inspiring the American Revolution. Adam Smith published his masterpiece, The Wealth of Nations, making the case for free markets. Prompted by the 250th anniversary of these watershed moments in liberty and social theory, this course examines the legacy of 1776 for private governance. We will focus on the roles of self-mastery, community, voluntary association, property, and the market in “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.” We will give due attention alike to brilliance and blind spots. We will study classic texts by Founders, Adam Smith, and Alexis de Tocqueville, and fresh appraisals by scholars in the humanities and social sciences.
The course has a seminar format. |

We will develop rhetorical analytical skills and examine case studies of health communication throughout the world. This work will prepare us to perform our own investigation of the rhetorics of health in Hartford. How are ideas about health communicated, to whom, and for what purposes? What perceptions or assumptions of the community are embedded in these messages? The course will include a community engagement component. |

This course explores Tokyo's history from its beginnings as a militarized shogunal city to the bustling capital of modern Japan. To understand this metropolis and its people, we encounter Tokyo and its predecessor Edo through specific spaces that constitute its sprawling landscape. We look at the shogun's castle and daimyo compounds, Japan's oldest zoo, revitalized neighborhoods, aging suburbs, nightclubs, and funeral parlors. You will learn about urban, cultural, and social history and acquire skills in analyzing politicized spaces across time. By the end of the course, you will not only have a better grasp of Tokyo's place in Japanese history, but also appreciate how cities emerge, grow, and decline, following a case study of one of the largest metropolitan areas on earth. |

After decades of political violence, Japan was unified under the hegemonic power of a single ruler, the shogun. During the Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1868), the country was closed to foreign contact, creating a period of stability away from the vicissitudes of the world-or so goes the conventional narrative. In this course, you will learn how economic, cultural, and intellectual connections were established across boundaries under a militarized regime. We look at evidence that challenges the notion of Tokugawa Japan as a "double-bolted land." We encounter Chinese and European vessels on the southern shores, embassies from Korea and Ryukyu, and indigenous Ainu populations in the north. You will understand Japan within broader transnational contexts, tracing parallels between early modern and contemporary patterns of global interconnectedness. |

This course journey tends to the making and meaning of Black people's lives in America upon seizing their freedom and breaking slavery's chains. It sojourns with them through Jim Crow – and its birth and re-birth through the generations. Further, the course follows the emergence and evolution of their freedom calls from Civil Rights and Black Power to Black Lives Matter. Under consideration here too, are Black people's forms of cultural expression, racial consciousness, spatial migrations, and community building. |

The astronomer Galileo Galilei’s trial before the Roman Inquisition nearly four centuries ago endures as a symbol of the clash between science and religion. Undoubtedly, the rise of early modern science in 17th-century Europe provoked its share of battles, but was this the whole story? This course will lead students to consider the origin and extent of the apparently irreconcilable differences between world views. How wide was the rift between science and religion, especially before the Enlightenment? Students will be encouraged to explore this complex relationship in historical context, by weighing the coexistence of scientific curiosity and intense faith, and also by considering the religious response to the expanding horizons of knowledge. The course will highlight investigations of the heavens and the earth, thus seeking instructive comparisons between disciplines such as astronomy, botany, and geology. A number of broad themes will be the focus. These include the understanding of God and nature, authority (classical and scriptural) versus observation, the wide range of knowledge-making practices, the place of magic, and finally the influence of power and patronage. The class seeks to present a rich and exciting picture, looking forward as well to the influence of rational thinking and scientific inquiry on the making of modernity. |

The creation of the apartheid state in South Africa gave birth to a litany of sociopolitical movements aimed at dismantling a system of white minority rule. In what ways can a digital archive open up a window onto this rich and dynamic history of the anti-antiapartheid movement in South Africa between 1948 and 1994? This course will seek to answer this question by primarily utilizing Aluka's "Struggles for Freedom in Southern Africa", a collection of over 190,000 primary and secondary sources that shed considerable light on how marginalized peoples and communities sought to realize a democratic alternative to settler colonialism during the era of decolonization in Africa. Topics such as political leadership, nonviolent civil disobedience, coalition building, state repression, armed guerilla resistance, nationalism, international solidarity and truth and reconciliation will inform the ways in which we search for sources of historical evidence contained in Aluka's digital archive. |

The location of the first encounter, conquest, and colonization of Native American peoples by Europeans, the Caribbean became a center of bitter rivalries between European imperial powers, and later in the 20th century a new, premiere location of the United States’ own imperial thrust. The Caribbean’s strategic location in relation to Atlantic Ocean trade routes and its tropical climate and fertile soils were key factors in shaping these imperial rivalries and the colonial and postcolonial societies that emerged in the region. The vast experience of African slavery, the later “indentured” migration of hundreds of thousands of Asians to some colonies, and the migration of similar numbers of Europeans (especially to the Hispanic Caribbean) have shaped deeply yet unevenly the nature of Caribbean societies since the 16th century, giving the Caribbean a complex multi-ethnic, yet also heavily “Western,” cultural landscape. This course will introduce students to these and other aspects of Caribbean history, from the pre-European era, through the epics of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) and the Cuban Revolution of 1959, to the present. |

From the early days of barter economies to the modern world of stocks, hedge funds and bitcoin, money (and merchants, bankers and consumers) has been a driving force in history. The course will explore the varied aspects of money's evolution: the political meaning of coins in the ancient world; the impact of traders and merchants on the expansion of early cities, states and empires; attitudes towards the rewards and dangers of money in Christianity; the rise of merchant bankers like the Medici of Florence, the crucial importance of merchants from Venice and Genoa to the Crusades; how great wealth creates standards of luxury in fashion, food, and design that shape aristocratic and popular values; and the quasi-religious beliefs about the free market in the modern world. |

The Pacific Ocean has historically been regarded as a vast and prohibitive void rather than an avenue for integration. Yet over the last five centuries motions of people, commodities, and capital have created important relationships between the diverse societies situated on the "Pacific Rim." This course examines the history of trans-Pacific interactions from 1500 to the present. It takes the ocean itself as the principal framework of analysis in order to bring into focus large-scale processes -- migration, imperial expansion, cross-cultural trade, transfers of technology, cultural and religious exchange, and warfare and diplomacy. This "oceans connect" approach to world history brings these processes into sharp relief while also allowing for attention to the extraordinary diversity of cultures located within and around the Pacific. |

How and why do we celebrate, memorialize, and preserve/conserve the “important stuff” of history? How have our methods of conserving and preserving the past changed over time and according to place, culture, and what history is being remembered? In this course we will examine various methods and theories for conservation and preservation of cultural heritage—writ large, and including archaeology, art, and history—as practiced both nationally and abroad. This course introduces students to a wide range of classic and contemporary readings, case studies, and real-world examples of the conservation and preservation of cultural heritage around the world and in the U.S. This course is separated into two parts: the theory of conservation and preservation, and the practice of conservation and preservation in action. |

The knight, a mounted warrior defined by his aristocratic lineage and prowess on the battlefield, was central to the society of medieval Europe. The knight began as a mounted servant in the retinue of a local strongman and evolved into the central figure of aristocratic society in the Middle Ages. The knight became the fulcrum of medieval chivalric culture, warfare, and politics. This seminar will study the changing role the knight played in medieval society by exploring a variety of primary sources, including literature, handbooks of knightly conduct, letters, sermons, chronicles and art. We will conclude by exploring how the image of the knight has survived in post-medieval culture. |

This seminar will explore the ways in which British culture and society have been shaped by its past global empire, from the mid-eighteenth century through the present day. Some of our discussions will center around consumables like sugar, silk and rubber, to investigate how the Empire influenced what people ate, drank and wore. We will consider how Empire shaped public spaces through monuments, zoos and exhibitions, and how it inspired public debates about race, women, Christianity and civic responsibility. We will conclude by analyzing the effects of migration from former colonies to Britain and considering the legacy of the Empire in contemporary British life. |

This discussion-based seminar delves into issues of preparedness, destruction, reconstruction, and resilience that emerge from calamities caused by human and non-human factors. Beginning with early modern conceptions of disasters, we make our way through moments of profound transformation in Japanese history. Notably, we explore the memories and representations of the 1855 Ansei Edo Earthquake and the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake that shook the country's capital, and conclude with the ongoing impact of the triple disaster (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown) that hit northeastern Japan on March 11, 2011. With a diversity of readings across disciplines, you will acquire new insights not only in cultural historical methods, but also anthropology, architecture, and media studies. |

West Africa is a vast region that stretches from the Sahara in the north, to the Atlantic in the south and west, to the Gulf of Guinea in the east. As a result of colonization, West Africa was bordered in such a way that split apart longstanding ethnic groups and historical states. West African societies have been shaped by trade, exchange, and contact from all directions. This diversity is reflected in the complex archaeological record of the region. This seminar course investigates the history and archaeology of West Africa from the paleolithic to the present, investigating topics from the Late Stone Age to the rise of powerful kingdoms like Mali, Ghana, and Songhai, to the transatlantic trade, colonization, and the postcolonial period. Students will engage with key archaeological sites, stories, objects, and debates in West African historiography. This course highlights how archaeology reshapes our understanding of Africa’s past beyond colonial narratives and offers a dynamic lens into one of the world’s most diverse and influential regions. |

In this course, through lectures, readings, and discussion - we will follow the lives of Black women in America - a people enslaved by European powers - and then held in the bellies of ships that would sojourn through and across the Atlantic Ocean. Upon arrival to North American soil, their stationing as nonhumans would be solidified. We will trace how this intersectional, racial and gendered status, has followed them through the generations. Centrally, we will tend to the ways and means by which Black women have endeavored to live free and make a way of out of no way. We will unearth the ways in which the margins are, as scholar bell hooks states, "a position and place of resistance." |

This seminar explores how women experienced and shaped China's transition from the early modern to the modern. What did it mean to be a woman with bound feet in the commercializing late Ming empire? How did class, ethnicity, and status shape a woman's experience in the multi-ethnic Qing empire? How did a woman negotiate questions and demands of modernity and revolution on their gender roles, bodies, and sexualities? How did Qing, Republican, and Communist regimes manage gender norms, sexualities, and deviances? How does a woman exercise agency in a patriarchal system? Students will read, discuss, and write about material (in translation) by women and about women such as novels, films, letters, and poetry. |

How long do the reverberations of slavery last, and how far do they travel? While debates on the memory and legacy of slavery take the national stage, colleges and universities are reckoning with how their own histories of slavery and exploitation may have shaped their pasts and presents. It is Trinity's turn for an honest accounting. Recent scholarship emphasizes slavery's many facets and its far-reaching tendrils. In this course, students will discover Trinity's and Hartford's place in slavery's vast social, cultural, economic, and political networks. Combining archival research and public humanities, we will create projects and archives commemorating Trinity's past, which our community will be able to use as we plot a course for a more equitable future. This course meets the Archival method requirement. |

In the early twentieth century, struggles against racism, capitalism, and colonialism, encircled the globe. From Irish republicanism in Dublin, Bolshevism in Moscow, revolution in Mexico City, to anti-lynching crusades in Birmingham, these movements represented the largest waves of rebellion sustained by the global economy. This seminar offers an overview of these struggles and spaces. Through examination of primary and secondary sources, students will consider radical social movements from distinct yet overlapping traditions. We will discuss how radicals confronted issues of racism, gender, and nationalism in their revolutionary theories. Taking a uniquely spatial approach, we will observe how geographies of accumulation emerged alongside sites of global resistance. Throughout we will consider these debates' contemporary relevance, observing how global radicalism might be charted in our present world. |

Which rights do individual human beings have vis-a-vis the modern state? What is the relationship between domestic and international legal processes? Are regional human rights mechanisms like the European system more influential than international ones? More generally, how effective is contemporary international human rights in securing accountability and justice? We use specific cases and contemporary debates to study a range of treaties and emerging institutions, including ad hoc war crimes tribunals and the International Criminal Court. |

In 1985, the South Commission reported that two-thirds of the world's people lived in distress. To rectify this, the Commission proposed a laundry list of reforms. At the same time, political and social movements in what had been the Third World grew apace. These movements and this report inaugurate the creation of the "Global South", which is both a place and a project. This course will investigate the contours of the Global South, the conferences held to alleviate its many problems (Beijing/Women, Johannesburg/Environment, Durban/Race), and the people who live in the "South". |

People have always traveled for many reasons. Over the last century, however, tourism has exploded into a multibillion-dollar global industry and has become a key component of international development strategies. In this course, we will use case studies from around the world to examine tourism from multiple perspectives. We will investigate questions such as: how is tourism connected to previous human movements (colonialism, scientific expeditions, diasporas, etc.)? Why do people engage in tourism today? How does identity impact travel destination choices and what are the power relations implied in these decisions? What are the economic, social, and ecological impacts of tourism in host communities? And, how do host communities respond to the influx of tourists? |

This course will introduce students to the ways in which diasporic Black subjects understand, interpret, and navigate gender and sexuality in what Saidiya Hartman calls the "afterlife of slavery." A core component of this course is arriving at a definition of Blackness that is diasporic, transnational, and always already inflected by gendered and sexual markers. Taking the transnationalism of Black feminist thinkers like M.Jacqui Alexander, Dora Santana, Matt Richardson, and Audre Lorde as a starting point, we will examine how Blackness reconfigures western liberal ideas of masculinity, femininity, and sexuality and, in so doing, shapes diasporic Black subjects' relationships to empire and citizenship. |

Hip-Hop is both music and culture with a global imprint that dates back to the 1980s. This course is a reading and writing intensive course that critically examines hip-hop cultural and political formations in Africa and the African Diaspora. We begin with canonical texts that contributed to the growth of an emergent interdisciplinary field called, 'Hip-Hop Studies' in order to familiarize ourselves with a set of core concepts, discourses and frameworks that will help us assess hip-hop's global emergence. What does the globalization of African-American music and culture tell us about the power and impact of neoliberalism on post-colonial identities, culture and nation-states in the
non-Western world? It is a question that will shape our discussions on race, youth, masculinity, and nationalism in contemporary urban societies. |

The course analyzes the domestic and global politics of how countries in the Global South are dealing/preparing to deal with climate change and its effects. We will discuss the particular challenges that climate change presents to countries across the Global South characterized by weaker institutions, lower state capacity, and scarce economic resources. Using countries and subnational units in the Global South as case studies, we will discuss issues: how interest groups shape mitigation and adaptation strategies, why citizens support climate denialists, and how different political regimes (autocracies vs. democracies) approach climate change. We will also study the global and domestic aspects of environmental injustices created by climate change and the world's current mitigation and adaptation strategies. |

"Cannibal" was one of the first words added to the European vocabulary after Christopher Columbus visited the "West Indies." Since then, the cannibal has been at the center of Latin American cultural and political projects, from early (and not so early) colonial anxieties about a continent populated by godless human-eating savages, to more recent poetic manifestos celebrating Latin America's cultural cannibalism as its main strength and path of resistance against colonial domination. After a brief introduction to the topic of cannibalism, this course explores the place of cannibalism in European fantasies about Amerindians, the role of cannibalism in Indigenous socialities and philosophies, and the ways in which recent artistic and political vanguard movements have reclaimed cannibalism as a cultural project. |

Natural protected areas are a central component of global climate change mitigation strategies, such as the 30x30 framework that seeks to designate 30% of the planet's surface as protected areas by 2030. This class offers a critical examination of the globalization of environmental conservation by centering the perspectives and experiences of local communities. We will study how environmental conservation has been, and often continues to be, intimately connected with issues of colonialism, land dispossession, Indigenous sovereignty, green capitalism, and militarization. As we study these complicated histories and experiences of parks and Peoples, we will bring into consideration alternative visions of how to care for land and nature with an emphasis on perspectives from Indigenous Peoples and the Peoples of the Global South. |

The course examines the processes of political, economic and social change that took place in Latin America in the XX and XIX Century. Topics include: the rise of populism and import-substituting industrialization, revolutions and revolutionary movements, the causes and consequences of military rule, the politics of economic reform, democratic transitions, the commodity boom, and the left turn. For each topic we will review classic political science theories and critically evaluate their applicability to Latin American countries. We will also discuss the lessons that can be drawn from Latin American cases for the study of these topics in the rest of the world. |

An exploration of the relationship between US Jewish identity and literary form, through the reading of major works in a range of genres such as prose fiction, lyric poetry, drama, graphic novels, and essays, from the late 19th century to the present. We may also view some films and TV episodes. Throughout, we will insistently pose the question of what makes a literary work count as "Jewish" or "American." Readings may address such topics as immigration, assimilation, nationalism, racialization, whiteness, ethnic identity, antisemitism, class and labor
politics, the Cold War and McCarthyism, the impact of the Holocaust, the memory of pre-WWII Europe, Zionism, gender and sexuality, HIV/AIDS, the politics of "Jewish languages," and religious vs. secular textual traditions. |

This seminar acquaints students with the range of Jewish philosophical responses to the social and political transformations and upheavals of modernity, with an emphasis on the twentieth century and post-Holocaust era. Discussions will consider how these thinkers developed Jewish ways of navigating modernity's tensions: continuity/change, revelation/reason, the identity-politics of community vs. the universal ethics of neighborliness. Together we will (try to) answer the question Jacques Derrida posed in 1998: "What must a Jewish thinker be...?" Authors may include Améry, Arendt, Benjamin, Buber, Butler, Derrida, Deutscher, Levinas, Mendelssohn, Rose, Scholem, Spinoza, others. |

The Silk Road was a series of routes from the Mediterranean to East Asia, operating from the Bronze Age through 1500 CE. These routes facilitated a dynamic exchange of goods, arts, culture, and ideas—arguably one of the earliest forms of globalization. Against a backdrop of geography, politics, and history, this course will examine the cultural transmission of religion, visual art, and music along the Silk Road. We will explore the vibrant traditions of Greece, Persia, Turkey, India, Central Asia, and East Asia (including Mongolia, China, Korea, and Japan), with a focus on their mutual influences and interactions. Emphasis will be placed on the social impact of music and other arts, and how cultural identity was shaped through these exchanges. |

In this course, we will explore how Irish traditional music and dance have maintained their “Irishness” over time. Our class will begin with an introduction to traditional vocal and instrumental genres. We’ll then explore the political and social history of Ireland viewed through the lens of traditional music, song and dance and in the process examine how music has been used a catalyst to promote nationalism and identity throughout the Irish diaspora. Finally, we’ll focus on the role of traditional Irish music today in terms of globalization, identity, gender and performance practice. This class will have an important hands-on component. Each student will have the opportunity to sing, dance (step dance and contra dance) and to learn to play the Irish tin whistle during the semester. All are welcome and no previous musical experience is necessary. |

Recent scientific research indicates that a worm has 302 neurons, snails have long-term memory, and elephants can hear through their feet. This course will draw on current research in neuroscience to explain why information about other animals is relevant to our lives. Selected readings, lectures and class discussions will provide a basic understanding of the human nervous system and how research on animal systems has yielded this knowledge. Laboratory exercises will introduce the students to nervous system anatomy and function through dissection and experimental techniques. A basic understanding of biology and chemistry will be helpful, but this course has no pre-requisites. First-year students are given preference. |

Cultural neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field that melds neuroscience with cultural anthropology and cultural psychology. It asks: Is culture embodied in the brain? And what are the neurobiological correlates of cultural variation? This course examines how human evolutionary biology has influenced our tendency to socially aggregate and behave in ways that can be predicted based on affiliation with groups that have proscribed values, beliefs, and practices. It surveys the neurobiological markers of inter-group processes and cultural diversity in genes and behavior (e.g., personality, parenting strategies, lifestyle, religion, social rituals, language and material artifacts). Finally, it explores culturally relative definitions of the mind and considers the importance of biopsychosocial approaches for the study of neurodiversity and global mental health disparities. |

Which policy interventions actually work and which fail to meet their goals? Answering this question is essential to improving public and non-profit services and securing further funding for worthwhile projects. This course aims to give students the ability to comprehend policy research and evaluation, as well as the tools to design and conduct basic qualitative and quantitative analysis. Students will apply these practical skills in assignments that ask them to design evaluations or analyze data to assess the effectiveness of policies. Topics will include data analysis using statistical software, but no previous programming experience is necessary.

Gun violence is a hallmark of American life, and few communities have been spared from its tragic effects. Efforts to mitigate gun violence remain inextricable from debates over the meaning of the Second Amendment. Students will study the histories of gun control and gun rights in America and analyze the competing interpretations of the Second Amendment that have emerged from landmark Supreme Court cases in recent decades. Then, students will examine the struggle between state level policymaking efforts and pro-gun constitutional challenges over policies including red flag laws, waiting periods, magazine capacity restrictions, and sensitive place laws. This class will offer students the chance to consider the complex interplay of history, law, and policymaking as it relates to gun control in the United States. |

What does political leadership entail in American governance and public policy? This course examines the kinds of leadership different political and policy contexts incentivize and how various leaders “meet their moment,” exploring the practical and ethical considerations guiding consequential decision-making in the policymaking process. Leadership has long been an all-or-nothing proposition. “The history of the world is but the biography of great men,” argued Thomas Carlyle, to which Herbert Spencer replied, “the genesis of societies by the actions of great men, may be comfortably believed so long as, resting in general notions, you do not ask for particulars.” In this course, we will resist both essentialism and existentialism, tending away from the biographic and toward an appreciation for leadership's distinct role in American institutions. |

Judges' decisions are consequential for many aspects of our daily lives. Yet, the precise mechanisms of how they reach their decisions are shrouded in mystery. This senior seminar explores the determinants of judicial behavior. We take as our starting point that jurists have multiple political, legal, and strategic goals. Along the way, they are also shaped by the actions of other legal actors such as organized interests and attorneys. With a heavy focus on the contemporary literature, we primarily examine the U.S. Supreme Court, but we also explore lower federal, state, and international courts. |

Today, immigrants and their children comprise a quarter of the US population. Thus, the presence of immigrants influences nearly all areas of US policymaking. This capstone senior seminar examines current issues in immigration and immigrant incorporation policies. Topics include US border security, the increased state and local regulation of immigration, and policies to address unauthorized immigrant status. Course assignments will emphasize persuasive writing and communication for a policymaking audience, including memos and briefings based on independent student research. Students will develop and present a final research paper drawing on analysis of federal administrative data. |

Lawyers, judges, politicians, and others often invoke history to support the arguments they wish to make. The use or misuse of history in constitutional interpretation can have significant consequences for the equality of all citizens, including women, African Americans, and Indigenous people, as well as for the future of our democracy. This senior seminar will study topics which lie at the intersection of law, history, and public policy, including the contested terrain of Second Amendment gun rights and gun control; the debate over whether our nation began with a proslavery or an antislavery Constitution, and why that question still matters today; and arguments over the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. |

State and local governments play a vital role in governing, policy innovation, and the delivery of services in the United States. Their importance has arguably increased in recent decades with the trend toward devolution of government to the state and local levels, the use of referenda, and the central role of states in battles over social issues. In this course we will review available social science research to consider the central issues and challenges of governance at the state and local levels. We will examine differences between states’ political cultures and their implications for public policy, compare federal versus state and local provision of social services, and consider the significance of the use of redistricting, recalls, referenda and initiatives in political struggles across the country. |

The Practicum is a semester-long opportunity for students to apply and expand their knowledge and technical skills by performing an actual consulting engagement for a public sector client organization. Practicum students will work in small teams to analyze and make recommendations with respect to issues of real significance faced by their clients. Each engagement will combine research, project planning, and problem-solving challenges, as well as substantial client contact. Client organizations are selected from across the policy spectrum to better enable students to pursue subject matters of particular relevance to their studies and career interests. Each engagement will culminate in a final report and formal presentation to the client organization. The Practicum instructor will provide careful guidance and participants will have opportunities to share ideas, experiences, and best practices. |

Who is the animal? In an effort to explore this and related questions this course will serve as a philosophical investigation into the essence of non-human animals. Major philosophical and political theories regarding the status, value, and autonomy of non-human animals will be explored. Additional efforts will be made to address the discourse of animal rights, animal husbandry, and animal suffering, as well as broader issues of human rights insofar as they relate to and affect the non-human animal. Through a philosophical inquiry into the nature of animality, we will see that our understanding of animals bears immediately upon our understanding of the human being and of human rights. Thus, the question ‘who is the animal’ will lead us directly into the most pressing of philosophical questions – who is the human being? |

What is cinema? Can cinema be a distinctive art? Does artistic achievement in film depend on making proper use of the distinct affordances of the medium? This course explores the nature and value of cinematic art and our engagement with it, including philosophical questions about understanding, appreciating and evaluating cinema: How do films create meaning and engage our desires and emotions? On what basis should we evaluate films? Is it OK to love bad movies? Why are we drawn to horror films and tragedies if they produce negative feelings like fear, disgust and sorrow? What are the ethics of spectatorship? We examine these issues through major texts in film theory and philosophy alongside concrete analyses of particular films. |

What is food and what does it mean to regard something as food? Our culinary choices, practices of production and consumption and habits of mind reflect a variety of values-moral, personal, cultural, aesthetic. This class examines the philosophical significance of food in each domain through questions about what we owe to animals, the relationship between food and environmental justice, the concept of sustainability, as well as how our personal and cultural identities intertwined with the way we cook and eat: What does the food we eat say about who we are? Is the desire for culinary authenticity morally suspect? What is cultural appropriation and why is it bad? What influences our judgments of some foods as delicious or disgusting? Is there an ethics of appreciation? |

This course will provide a survey of 18th century European philosophy; to be more precise, we will examine texts by representatives of both French and German Enlightenment thought. The first section of the course will focus on Rousseau's and Diderot's contributions to political and aesthetic thought; the second section will be concerned with Kant's epistemology and with some of his shorter texts on political and aesthetic thought. The goal of this course consists in both defining Enlightenment thought and unearthing the fateful dialectic at its very heart. Methodologically, this course will employ an approach owed to the tradition of Critical Theory. This course fulfills part two of the writing intensive (WI) requirement for the Philosophy major. |

The seventeenth- and eighteenth-centuries were an extraordinarily fruitful period in the development of modern ethics. As philosophy began to free itself from traditional religious belief, thinkers were led to pose such fundamental questions as what motivates human behavior? Are all of our actions ultimately selfish or do we have a natural concern for the well-being of others? Are there objective moral truths knowable by reason or do we judge human behavior based on feeling? What reason do we have to be moral even when doing so appears not to be in our own self-interest? Among the authors to be discussed are Hobbes, Mandeville, Hutcheson, Butler and Hume. |

This course focuses on mathematical methods essential to the expression and application of the laws of physics. It is designed to provide a mathematics background for other upper-level physics courses and for physics research, and thus ideally should be taken in the spring of the sophomore year. Topics to be discussed may vary somewhat from year to year depending on the emphasis of the instructor, but will ordinarily include elements of vector analysis, differential geometry, linear algebra, functions of a complex variable, Fourier analysis, and some of the special functions of mathematical physics. Additional topics, such as probability theory, the calculus of variations, or an introduction to group theory, may be taken up if time permits. |

The theories of special and general relativity describe space, time, mass, and the gravitational force. The standard model describes subatomic particles and their interactions via the strong nuclear, weak nuclear, and electromagnetic forces. Together, these theories embody all that is known today about matter and energy at the largest and smallest scales, and they form the basis of modern cosmology – the study of the history and structure of the universe. |

This course introduces the study of comparative politics which is a subfield of political science. More specifically, it introduces many of the key concepts and theoretical approaches that have been adopted in comparative politics and surveys the political institutions and politics of select foreign countries. Students of comparative politics primarily focus on the political processes and institutions within countries (whereas students of international relations primarily, but not exclusively, study interactions among countries). Inspired by current world events and puzzles, comparativists investigate such major questions as: Why are some countries or regions more democratic than others? How do different countries organize their politics, i.e., how and why do their political party systems, electoral rules, governmental institutions, etc. differ? |

Why do people participate in politics? Which government policies best serve the public good? What prevents wars between nations? Political scientists employ a toolbox of research methods to investigate these and other fundamental questions. By learning the strengths and weaknesses of various qualitative and quantitative methods, students in this course will identify how best to answer the political questions about which they feel most passionate. They will apply these practical skills in assignments that ask them observe, analyze, and report on political phenomena. Research skills will include field observation, interviewing, comparative case studies, and data analysis using statistical software. No previous statistical or programming experience is necessary.

How do democratic countries function across the globe and how does the United States compare to its peers? What are the causes and consequences of these differences and what does the future of democracy hold? This course will examine these and other questions on the state of democracy in the world by examining the social and institutional foundations of democratic regimes; legacies of colonialism; ethnic politics and conflict; political contestation and violence; and the causes of democratic deconsolidation and collapse. This course is part of the two-course foundational sequence in comparative politics (POLS 257 and POLS 258). Students may choose to take one or both courses in the sequence and in whichever order. Note: Students who have taken POLS 256 or POLS 320 may not enroll in this course. |

This course analyzes how politics affects the lives of citizens in cities and metropolitan areas of the developing world. We will focus on two conceptions of urban politics. The first is the specific benefits and problems of the city (as opposed to rural areas), from land use (and its environmental sustainability challenges) and public utilities to political incorporation and intermediation. The second sense is the local as opposed to national or state-level politics: i.e. decentralization, coordination between different government tiers and the specific dynamics of local governance. We will draw primarily on examples in Africa, Asia (especially India and China) and Latin America, focusing on past, present and future challenges for urban development. |

This course is an introduction to the work of one of the twentieth-century's most influential thinkers, French historian and philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-84). Foucault's historical analyses of madness, crime, and sexuality, and his conceptualizations of power, knowledge, and subjectivity have profoundly changed how political theorists and others understand the world we live in. We will read selections from his major books, including History of Madness, Discipline and Punish, and History of Sexuality Volume 1, alongside some of his best-known lectures and essays. The course will also explore how Foucault's ideas have been taken up, changed, and challenged by other scholars.
Students who have earned credit for PHIL 336 Foucault, may not earn credit for this course. |

This course examines two interrelated questions: What is conservatism as an ideology and how was the American conservative movement built? To answer these questions, we will examine the American conservative movement as an organized movement and as a set of ideological debates and commitments. We will first survey the origins of conservatism as an ideology before turning to the development of the different ideological strands of American conservativism The course then explores the building of the modern American conservative movement: postwar Goldwater Movement Conservativism, the New Right, and the contemporary conservative movement. The course will focus on the building of the conservative movement through its engagement with the Republican Party as well as the family as the site of cultural and economic intervention. |

Eugenics is an ideology that seeks to shape society by encouraging the reproduction of "desirable" citizens and limiting the population of "undesirables." From the early twentieth-century, when American eugenicists influenced Nazi sterilization policies, to contemporary debates over COVID-19 and public health, eugenics has played a significant but underexplored role in US politics. This course explores the often forgotten legacies of eugenics in the United States. We will discuss topics including: eugenics and environmentalism, the role of eugenics in debates on abortion, and how mass incarceration continues to create the conditions of possibility for eugenic practices. The class will look at primary sources, scholarly articles, and representations of eugenics in popular media to define what eugenics is and explain why it continues to this day. |

Policing and human rights are deeply intertwined. On the one hand, policing necessary involves limitations on fundamental individual rights. On the other hand, policing can also preserve rights such as life, liberty and property. This tension is evident not just in authoritarian regimes, but also in modern democracies, where police frequently commit human rights abuses such as torture, intimidation, and summary executions. Ultimately, the form policing takes, and its implications for human rights, are political decisions. This course adopts a comparative perspective to explain what police do, how they do it and why. We will discuss police organization and culture, linkages between police, politicians, and organized crime, and the movement to reform, defund or abolish the police. |

The course analyzes the domestic and global politics of how countries in the Global South are dealing/preparing to deal with climate change and its effects. We will discuss the particular challenges that climate change presents to countries across the Global South characterized by weaker institutions, lower state capacity, and scarce economic resources. Using countries and subnational units in the Global South as case studies, we will discuss issues: how interest groups shape mitigation and adaptation strategies, why citizens support climate denialists, and how different political regimes (autocracies vs. democracies) approach climate change. We will also study the global and domestic aspects of environmental injustices created by climate change and the world's current mitigation and adaptation strategies. |

This course investigates one of the twentieth century's most influential thinkers: Hannah Arendt. Her reflections on statelessness, totalitarianism, propaganda, revolution, cultural production, technology, and responsibility bear witness to critical upheavals that continue to haunt current-day politics. This course interrogates these topics through a detailed exploration of Arendt's central works, focusing on The Origins of Totalitarianism, The Human Condition, and Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil alongside Arendt's key influences and shorter commentaries. We will also consider how Arendt has been taken up by contemporary scholars especially in light of the recent rise of "post-truth" politics. |

This course offers a comprehensive survey of the evolution of international human rights law, focusing on the major actors and processes at work. Which rights do individual human beings have vis-a-vis the modern state? What is the relationship between domestic and international legal processes? Are regional human rights mechanisms like the European system more influential than international ones? More generally, how effective is contemporary international human rights in securing accountability and justice? We use specific cases and contemporary debates to study a range of treaties and emerging institutions, including ad hoc war crimes tribunals and the International Criminal Court. |

The course examines the processes of political, economic and social change that took place in Latin America in the XX and XIX Century. Topics include: the rise of populism and import-substituting industrialization, revolutions and revolutionary movements, the causes and consequences of military rule, the politics of economic reform, democratic transitions, the commodity boom, and the left turn. For each topic we will review classic political science theories and critically evaluate their applicability to Latin American countries. We will also discuss the lessons that can be drawn from Latin American cases for the study of these topics in the rest of the world. |

This course is about the interaction of politics, law, and legal practice with popular culture. It is perhaps banal to observe that popular culture distorts and misrepresents law and legal practice. However, the consequences of popular culture distortions of law remain a provocative area for scholarly inquiry. Furthermore, in a democracy, where citizens make demands on government, popular culture can influence perceptions, expectations, and demands citizens make on political and legal elites. Course media will rely on film, television, and scholarly readings and will examine mythical stories of the founding of political orders based on rule of law, legal education and inequality, trials in democratic and authoritarian regimes, law and political violence, and the possibility of justice outside the rule of law and the state. |

What does political leadership entail in American governance and public policy? This course examines the kinds of leadership different political and policy contexts incentivize and how various leaders “meet their moment,” exploring the practical and ethical considerations guiding consequential decision-making in the policymaking process. Leadership has long been an all-or-nothing proposition. “The history of the world is but the biography of great men,” argued Thomas Carlyle, to which Herbert Spencer replied, “the genesis of societies by the actions of great men, may be comfortably believed so long as, resting in general notions, you do not ask for particulars.” In this course, we will resist both essentialism and existentialism, tending away from the biographic and toward an appreciation for leadership's distinct role in American institutions. |

The Trinity College Legislative Internship is a special program designed for those students who want to observe politics and government firsthand. Student interns work full time for individual legislators and are eligible for up to four course credits, three for a letter grade and one pass/fail. One of the graded credits is a political science credit. In addition to working approximately 35 to 40 hours per week for a legislator, each intern participates in a seminar in which interns present papers and discuss issues related to the legislative process. Although there are no prerequisite courses for enrollment in this program, preference will be given to juniors and seniors. Students majoring in areas other than political science are encouraged to apply. Candidates for this program, which is limited to 14 students, should contact the Political Science Department in April or September. The program will accommodate some students who wish to work part time (20 hours per week) for two graded course credits. |

This senior seminar examines environmental justice movements in the United States, with particular attention to urban and rural communities. We analyze how Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized groups navigate political systems to address environmental inequities. Students will explore the socio-historical contexts that shape environmental burdens, studying both traditional political engagement and alternative strategies employed by communities. The course investigates political socialization, coalition-building, and conflict within environmental justice frameworks. Special emphasis is placed on Hartford through a community learning project, allowing students to engage with local environmental justice initiatives directly. We will critically examine the complex interactions between communities, government entities, and private sector interests in shaping environmental policy and outcomes. |

This course will examine developmental disabilities and their relationship to mental health processes. Students will be introduced to well-known disabilities (eg. Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy), as well as lesser-known disabilities (e.g. Rhett Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome) and discuss how these disabilities affect psychological outcomes. Common psychological comorbidities found with these disabilities will be discussed, and students will learn about the challenges associated with psychological treatments for individuals with disabilities. |

Is there a mental health crisis among adolescents and young adults? If so, what societal, familial, and individual forces account for this decline? If not, what accounts for the popular interpretation? Students will consider the influence of societal changes -- rapid rise in screen and social media use, emphasis on academic achievement, movement from free play to organized adult driven play, and the role of the pandemic-- on physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development, and peer and family relationships. Students will consider how societal pressures may have altered developmental processes, potentially contributing to rising rates of anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm, and suicide among adolescents. Using multiple forms of inquiry, and applying developmental theory, and psychological, neuroscientific and epidemiological research, we will investigate the correlates to the apparent decline in adolescent mental and physical health. Through discussion of peer reviewed literature, case studies, observation, and interviews, students will compare and contrast popular opinion to evidence-based data trends and consider the validity of causal explanations. Students will identify and propose points of intervention and policy reform.

This seminar will take on clinical psychology from a public health, global, and multicultural perspective. Over the course of this seminar, class meetings and materials address macro level factors that impact the mental health of groups and individuals. Class discussions and readings will focus on social determinants of mental health, the role of cultures and identities in clinical psychology more broadly and community-based interventions and global mental health perspectives. On an individual level, how do these and other macro factors impact psychological assessment and therapy? How can therapy be culturally adapted for specific groups and people? How can mental health be improved by focusing on these "upstream" variables? The study materials are varied, and this seminar is discussion and process focused. |

This course will provide students with a basic understanding of the psychological study of intergroup relations—how people of different groups relate to one another. The area of intergroup relations focuses on the psychological processes involved with how individuals perceive, judge, reason about, feel, and behave toward people in other groups. Social groups can take many forms, ranging from classic social groups (e.g., race, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, class, sexual orientation), not so classic social groups (e.g., weight, mental ability, physical ability, physical attractiveness) to minimal groups. We will examine some of the causes and consequences of intergroup inequality, and explore ways in which the psychological study of intergroup relations can inform attempts at social change. |

Our species has evolved an ability to appreciate the beauty of the world, and this unites us in ways that are uniquely human. In this course we will explore how and why we can be moved emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally by art and nature. Through this, you will gain a deeper appreciation not only for the natural and creative beauty of the world, but also for the top-down processes that guide our perceptual experiences. In certain instances, some individuals even experience a crossover of sensory modalities, known as synesthesia. Hearing colors, tasting words, touching a sound, are just a few of the many variations of this perceptual phenomenon. We will delve into the neural underpinnings of this curious ability, and the research that attempts to understand those mechanisms. |

Communication changed radically in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic limited ways to interact, the national US election raised the stakes on what people say and how, and the racial justice movement following the killing of George Floyd pushed us to take greater steps as a society to recognize systemic racism and act to counter it. In this class, we will examine the research behind these changes and conduct novel research of our own to address questions like: How does video conferencing change the way we talk or listen? What is the importance of changing names of buildings or institutions? How does racist (or sexist) language contribute to creating inequalities rather than just reflecting them? And how can language persuade, connect ideas, and campaign for candidates? |

Natural systems are complex and resilient: the natural world around us, and our own bodies and brains. Can a deeper appreciation for nature's complexity help us navigate an uncertain future? Can a deeper connection with nature improve our health? These are old questions with new urgency: a changing climate, ongoing loss and degradation of natural systems, and a world that is more interconnected than ever. Healthy brains and a sufficient network self-sustaining, climate-regulating ecosystems are needed for our long-term survival and for individual and community wellbeing. This course will review and discuss recent international interdisciplinary research and conference proceedings and discuss practical implications for individual and community wellbeing. |

An examination of the New Testament in the context of the first century C.E. to study the formation and themes of these early Christian writings. The course will stress the analysis of texts and discussion of their possible interpretations. How did the earliest writings about Jesus present him? Who was Paul? Is it more accurate to call him the founder of Christianity instead of Jesus? How do we understand Gospels that are not in the New Testament? We will attend to these and other social, political, and historical issues for studying the New Testament and Early Christianity. |

Although David is often lauded as ancient Israel’s greatest king, his character is one of deep flaws. By exploring the many and often conflicting depictions of the founder of the ancient Israelite monarch, this course will probe this most important moment in biblical history: What are the theological implications of David’s divine election? How do the king’s painful missteps ricochet forward and influence later events? By focusing mainly on the Old Testament story, we will examine the historical institution David initiated and the religious problems it engendered. |

An exploration of the relationship between US Jewish identity and literary form, through the reading of major works in a range of genres such as prose fiction, lyric poetry, drama, graphic novels, and essays, from the late 19th century to the present. We may also view some films and TV episodes. Throughout, we will insistently pose the question of what makes a literary work count as "Jewish" or "American." Readings may address such topics as immigration, assimilation, nationalism, racialization, whiteness, ethnic identity, antisemitism, class and labor
politics, the Cold War and McCarthyism, the impact of the Holocaust, the memory of pre-WWII Europe, Zionism, gender and sexuality, HIV/AIDS, the politics of "Jewish languages," and religious vs. secular textual traditions. |

Race and religion shape the identity of the individual and its surrounding society. But how do they do that? How do race and religion intersect? What role have they played in shaping our politics, cultures, and values? Do race and religion still matter today? This course looks at the ways race and religion have impacted the U.S. Among the many topics we will cover are the role race and religion impact immigration policy and ultimately U.S. demographics; the role religion played in justifying and objecting to slavery and the treatment of Native Americans; the emergence of black religious movements and the Civil Rights Movement; and contemporary issues. Students who have taken FYSM 187 may not receive credit for this course. |

If Buddhism preaches non-attachment, what is “Buddhist materiality”? Shouldn’t Buddhists be free of material things? Or, rather, who says they should be?In this course, we take Buddhist “stuff” seriously. Students are encouraged to look beyond modernist ideals of Buddhism as a “rational tradition” of only monks, manuscripts, and mindfulness. To do this, we must decolonialize Buddhism. Then, we consider the agency of nonhumans, not just of humans (i.e., we cover theories of Material Religion). Students will engage in object analysis and close-looking of Buddhist art objects and spirits. Things act upon us, and we(re)act upon them. They shape identity, create meaning, and maintain relationships. Things are never just things. They help us understand what people do in Buddhism, not just what they believe. |

This seminar acquaints students with the range of Jewish philosophical responses to the social and political transformations and upheavals of modernity, with an emphasis on the twentieth century and post-Holocaust era. Discussions will consider how these thinkers developed Jewish ways of navigating modernity's tensions: continuity/change, revelation/reason, the identity-politics of community vs. the universal ethics of neighborliness. Together we will (try to) answer the question Jacques Derrida posed in 1998: "What must a Jewish thinker be...?" Authors may include Améry, Arendt, Benjamin, Buber, Butler, Derrida, Deutscher, Levinas, Mendelssohn, Rose, Scholem, Spinoza, others. |

What if the world and all within it were aware, sentient, and conscious? What if mountains, rivers, forests, and unseen presences were not things, but beings with whom humans are always in relationship? This seminar explores practices from around the world that experience the universe as animate, ensouled, and alive. Students will trace the history of animism from its treatment as a marker of “primitive” religion to its revitalization in contemporary Indigenous thought. By joining ontological philosophy, theories of universal consciousness, and multispecies ethnography, the course reimagines animism as a theory of persons and interconnection. Together, these approaches raise urgent questions about what it means to live in a more-than-human community of relations and why animism matters today. |

How do human beings effectively communicate with one another? What strategies do we use to speak and write persuasively? What are the best ways to learn to write? How do social, cultural, political, linguistic, and other elements of human life impact the ways we write, speak, and learn to write? How do visual and textual literacies relate to questions of race, gender, and power? These are the central questions of Rhetoric and Composition – a field that stretches from the ancient world to the 21st century college writing classroom and continues to pursue these questions in our ever-changing world. In this course, we will explore how scholars in Rhetoric and Composition have approached, answered, and complicated these questions. |

From a rhetorical standpoint, what does it mean to argue there are multiple models of masculinity? Using rhetorical methodologies, where could we locate these masculinities: in bodies, social interactions, or culture? This course focuses on the relationship between rhetoric and masculinities. After delving into rhetoric's gendered history, we will investigate how scholars in different disciplines rhetorically construct men and masculinities through their writing and research practices. We will never lose track of how rhetoric also shapes our daily lives. In particular, we will explore how our experiences on campus connect to global discussions about masculinity. Students from any discipline will find productive opportunities to apply the study the rhetoric and masculinity to work in their majors, while learning how research is conducted in other disciplines. |

This course examines sexual assault and harassment through data, theory and praxis. First, students examine empirical evidence regarding the scope of sexual assault (including on college campuses), and how to address claims which challenge the prevalence of sexual violation. In particular, how social scientists measure sexual violence and sexual consent will be illustrated. Second, this course addresses micro- and macro-level 'powerscapes' surrounding sexualized interactions. For example, the interactional study of deference and demeanor between social unequals helped crystallize the term, sexual harassment. Additionally, an intersectional perspective tells us how sexual violation is shaped by interlocking systems of oppressions. Finally, linking theory with praxis, students explore prevention strategies like bystander intervention programs. Classes will include historical and contemporary legal cases discussion, and documentary films. |

This course offers an introductory exploration of the field of social psychology, the study of human interaction. Humans are social beings who thrive on healthy connections with others. Studying these connections, interactions, and their resulting impacts on individuals' mindsets and behaviors provides us with a deeper and more nuanced comprehension of ourselves both as individuals and as a collective society. This course approaches its content through the lens of sociological theory and includes non-traditional concepts, and includes the significance of status, power in relationships, labelling theory, affect and behavior, symbolic interactionism, ethnomethodology, and group dynamics (such as leadership and group evaluation). |

This course examines the city as a central object of inquiry in classical and contemporary social thought. How did the city come to be considered the cradle of civilizations, cultures, and imagined communities? Why is the city often at the center of narratives about the transition to modernity? What is the relationship between capitalist development, global trade networks, and urban life? How does the city figure in addressing the biggest issues facing human societies today – from living with climate change, migration, and rural-urban inequalities to the role of urban environments in generating both alienation and social solidarity? The course guides students towards developing a historical, comparative, and theoretically grounded perspective on the city in contemporary social life. |

The 21st century is truly a global urban age characterized by the simultaneous decline and revival of post-industrial cities in the United States and the co-existence of boom and poverty in the rapidly industrializing cities in developing countries, as well as by how globalization is exerting a growing impact on urban places and processes everywhere. This course adopts an integrated and comparative approach to studying the local and global characteristics, conditions, and consequences of the growth and transformation of cities and communities. Using Hartford—Trinity's hometown—as a point or place of departure, the course takes students to a set of world or global cities outside the United States, especially a few dynamic mega-cities in developing countries to explore the differences and surprising similarities among them. |

This course will enhance your ability to think critically about the problems we face in society from a sociological perspective, analyze social movements that have developed in response, and examine specific groups working for change. In our investigation of social movements, we will utilize various theoretical perspectives, including theories of collective behavior, resource mobilization, political opportunity/process, network/media/alternative globalization, and new social movement theory for the digital age. We will be concerned with not only how social problems come to be defined as such, but also with who is affected by these problems and how, and with what people are doing, have done, and might continue to do to address unequal distributions of power, money, protection, and other resources -- in the face of efforts from state and global actors to stifle movements. We will examine how individuals have come together to change society through protest, revolution, and other forms of resistance in U.S.-based and international movements historically, and we will also discuss responses to inequalities and oppression as they characterize the national and global climate today. Finally, we will consider possibilities for social change in the future and examine the landscape of current social movements, comparing outcomes. Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to research issues they deem worthy of collective response and envision their own social movements. |

Sociology of Hip Hop exposes students to a decade-based approach to the origins and development of the popular music and cultural genre, beginning with its predecessors and the initial pillars of hip hop. We assess the significant technological developments of each era that pushed artistic expression and production to new levels, and students utilize weekly “song of the week” breakdowns to highlight an artist or style that resonates with them and is emblematic of key evolutions in the genre. Students will complete a final project that demonstrates budding mastery of one component of music creation or appreciation; show how broader sociological debates surrounding race, class, gender, sexuality and other social variables are taken up in lyrics, videos, and associated media; and consider how both fans and critics respond to, embody, and in some cases co-opt the imagery, affect, and political messages of hip hop. We will also consider what the future holds for the medium. |

This course provides a capstone to the sociology major by guiding students through the various stages of the research process. Students develop a research topic, situate that topic in the relevant substantive areas of the discipline, refocus that topic in light of past research and theoretical thinking on the topic, develop a research design best suited to the questions to be addressed, and collect and analyze data to answer those questions. In the process of this guided research, students review and assess the state of the discipline as it pertains to their particular interests, conduct literature reviews before the data collection process to focus their questions and after the data collection process to situate their specific findings in the discipline. In conjunction with the social science data specialist, students explore different methodologies to address their questions and analyze the data. |

This course is a terrific gateway into the Department of Theater and Dance. We will investigate how movement, voice, ritual, physical space and design are basic elements of performance. By examining a number of different traditions and modes of practice we can deepen our knowledge of the performing arts as human expression and meaning making. Celebrating our individual and shared stories we will play with new contexts and intentions to develop artistic potential. Through practice, reading, writing and viewing we will engage with a combination of historical, theoretical and experiential perspectives that prepare us for further creative study. |

Why are we profoundly moved by a particular performance we see? Why are we perplexed? Or disturbed? What is going on in a performance that we should understand in order to come to terms with our own values about art and life? And how have others come to such terms? These are the questions that students will consider as they examine a broad array of critical perspectives on performances both present and past as a means to developing their own criteria for critical elevation. |

How does one sustain a life in the arts? How do artistic, curatorial, philanthropic, academic, and community practices relate to one another and to the organizational structures that support them? How is success defined? Where are the points of entry, and who are the gatekeepers? What is the role of place? Designed for practicing and aspiring artists, arts administrators, curators, cultural critics, and advocates, we employ ecological frameworks to consider the evolution of existing arts infrastructures and our place in their futures. Through readings, group discussions, off-campus engagement with industry practitioners, place-based research, and culminating project proposals, we imagine holistic and innovative approaches to sustained arts engagement that respond to social, cultural, and economic realities. |

The 21st century is truly a global urban age characterized by the simultaneous decline and revival of post-industrial cities in the United States and the co-existence of boom and poverty in the rapidly industrializing cities in developing countries, as well as by how globalization is exerting a growing impact on urban places and processes everywhere. This course adopts an integrated and comparative approach to studying the local and global characteristics, conditions, and consequences of the growth and transformation of cities and communities. Using Hartford—Trinity's hometown—as a point or place of departure, the course takes students to a set of world or global cities outside the United States, especially a few dynamic mega-cities in developing countries to explore the differences and surprising similarities among them. |

With the era in which city dwellers comprise a majority of the world's population has come a new urgency for understanding the balance between urban development and the environment. This course introduces students to the sub-field of urban studies which deals with sustainable development, including exploration of the debates on the meanings of sustainability and development in cities. Taking a comparative approach and a global perspective, topics to be examined may include the ecological footprint of cities, urban programs for sustainable urban planning, urban transportation and service delivery, energy issues, and the critical geopolitics of urban sustainability around the world. May be counted toward INTS major requirements. |

This course examines the city as a central object of inquiry in classical and contemporary social thought. How did the city come to be considered the cradle of civilizations, cultures, and imagined communities? Why is the city often at the center of narratives about the transition to modernity? What is the relationship between capitalist development, global trade networks, and urban life? How does the city figure in addressing the biggest issues facing human societies today – from living with climate change, migration, and rural-urban inequalities to the role of urban environments in generating both alienation and social solidarity? The course guides students towards developing a historical, comparative, and theoretically grounded perspective on the city in contemporary social life. |

This course traces ancient urbanism from the development of Neolithic sedentism to the massive cities of the Hellenistic kingdoms and the Roman Empire. We will examine both primary and secondary texts, together with evidence from art and archaeology, to assemble a composite view of urban life and the environmental, topographical, political, cultural, and economic factors that shaped some of the most impressive cities ever built, many of which remain major metropolitan centers today. |

This course critically examines employment relationships and power structures in contemporary cities. Using case studies from the United States and across the globe, we will explore debates on how globalization and the rise of informal urban labor markets, the gig economy and other precarious forms of work are transforming the nature of urban employment. We will also analyze the effects of de-industrialization on urban job markets, the challenges faced by immigrant workers, and the evolving role of sanctuary cities. Additionally, the course investigates collective efforts to secure health, environmental, and labor protections in urban employment settings. Students will gain a crucial understanding of how cities are reshaping the nature of work, labor rights movements, and urban citizenship in an era of rapid economic and social change. |

This course aims to provide an extensive and in-depth understanding of how Asian and other non-Western countries are reshaping global urbanization. Having urbanized at the fastest pace, on the largest scale, and in the shortest time in human history, countries such as China and India have been “building out” by constructing transport infrastructure, industrial zones, and municipal facilities at home and across the Global South. The course assesses these modes of urban development, focused on their beneficial and problematic social and spatial consequences. It then examines how Asian and Global South actors engage in city-building and infrastructure construction in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Europe, concluding with the policy implications of “South-led” global urbanization. |

Ethnography is a qualitative research method commonly used in the humanistic social sciences that involves naturalistic observation/interaction. Its goal is to produce richer understandings of people, practice, culture, and place by textualizing the kinetic motion of everyday life. This course introduces students to urban ethnographic research methods and their intrinsic value to the field of Urban Studies. By reading and analyzing a broad array of urban ethnographic work from across the globe, students will gain a better understanding of ethnographic writing and the practice of urban ethnography and what it has to offer. This course aims to expose you to a variety of urban contexts beyond EuroAmerica and in doing so build your reading, writing, interpretation, and analytical skills. |

This course serves as a capstone seminar with two purposes. First, it provides a comparative and integrated treatment of the urban scholarship through an intensive and interdisciplinary reading of advanced books and articles, rigorous discussions, and in-depth writing. This course allows students to widen and deepen the cumulative content and experience they have gained from previous urban courses, study abroad programs, and urban engagement and internship projects. Secondly, by connecting and even tailoring some of the seminar’s content to individual students, the course prepares and guides students to undertake and successfully complete a senior thesis for the Urban Studies major. |

The Practicum is a semester-long opportunity for students to apply and expand their knowledge and technical skills by performing an actual consulting engagement for a public sector client organization. Practicum students will work in small teams to analyze and make recommendations with respect to issues of real significance faced by their clients. Each engagement will combine research, project planning, and problem-solving challenges, as well as substantial client contact. Client organizations are selected from across the policy spectrum to better enable students to pursue subject matters of particular relevance to their studies and career interests. Each engagement will culminate in a final report and formal presentation to the client organization. The Practicum instructor will provide careful guidance and participants will have opportunities to share ideas, experiences, and best practices. |

This course will examine the impact of (Central) European critical theory on American thought. Major emphasis will be put first on the specific historical, political, and social contexts out of which European critical theory emerged. This means that we will also familiarize ourselves with particular Central European philosophical, literary, and artistic traditions. Before this very background, we will then study some American theoreticians to see how the work of European critical theory has been taken up and transformed and modified in the U.S. context. The primary goal of this course will be to familiarize the students both with the European tradition of philosophical thought and its reception in the US. |

At Trinfo.Cafe, participants in our Student Leadership Initiative work as team project leaders across Trinfo’s three program areas - Events, Youth Programming, and Social Media. Participants will learn and apply project management techniques, work collaboratively with other Trinity students to develop content for publication online, write curricula for after-school and summer youth programs, plan and execute events, and create training materials and instruction for new and existing student staff. Admission to the Trinfo.Cafe’s Student Leadership Initiative is only available for students who have served on Trinfo’s staff for at least one full academic year (or summer) and are in their sophomore, junior, or senior years. Students will work closely with the program manager 4 to 6 hours per week for the duration of the semester as the team leader for their respective program unit. Completion of the wellness credit will be based on an individual assessment conducted by the Program Manager at the end of the semester. Interested students who meet this prerequisite should contact the Program Manager. The following is a short description of each leadership role available to students: The Event Coordinator can choose from either a one-semester or full-year appointment and will be involved in the proposal, planning, promotion, and final preparation of Trinfo events. The Afterschool Coordinator is a one-semester appointment and will partner with the Program Manager in overseeing after school programming at Trinfo (COMPASS, JZ-AMP) and offsite (OPMAD). The Afterschool Coordinator will also be involved in creating curricula and lesson plans, as well as instruction. The Social Media Coordinator will manage and contribute visual and written content to Trinfo’s Facebook and Instagram page, as well as to partner platforms at the Center for Hartford Engagement and Research and the College’s Communications Office.

Community service and civic engagement are important aspects of life at Trinity as well as to the proper functioning of our democracy. We desire and expect our graduates to be future civic leaders--engaged and active members of their community, wherever they may land in life. Students may meet the wellness requirement through being involved with our community of Hartford and/or working on bigger picture civic issues, which will prepare them for the post-graduation world by engaging them in addressing real life topics, working with community leaders, and taking actions that have a positive impact.
Students shall document at least 8 hours of service/civic engagement work or participation in 4 community service/civic engagement events over the course of one semester. Students will need to provide evidence of their participation. Students who participate in Office of Community Service and Civic Engagement (OCSCE) organizations and events will record their participation on a form, which will be cross-checked against OCSCE data. Students who participate outside of OCSCE will submit a description of their volunteering or engagement with signed verification from a staff supervisor." |

This course will introduce students to the ways in which diasporic Black subjects understand, interpret, and navigate gender and sexuality in what Saidiya Hartman calls the "afterlife of slavery." A core component of this course is arriving at a definition of Blackness that is diasporic, transnational, and always already inflected by gendered and sexual markers. Taking the transnationalism of Black feminist thinkers like M.Jacqui Alexander, Dora Santana, Matt Richardson, and Audre Lorde as a starting point, we will examine how Blackness reconfigures western liberal ideas of masculinity, femininity, and sexuality and, in so doing, shapes diasporic Black subjects' relationships to empire and citizenship. |

By putting films, memoirs, novels, and graphic novels in conversation with history and sociology, we will consider the ways in which bodies are regulated by political, legal, and economic forces as they come to occupy and invent new spaces for themselves Topics include the metaphor of "border crossing" in narratives of gender transition, interactions between global gender identities and local cultures, neoliberalism and the so-called "migrant crisis," transgender asylum seekers and sexual rights discourse, and representations of sex work. |

This course surveys 5,000 years of East Asian history and culture through the close analysis of 40 primary artworks. Classes are generally presented in chronological order, and provide a selection of major and minor artistic traditions from China, Korea, and Japan from pre-history to the 21st century. Each class focuses on two objects, and will emphasize the connection between close looking and big ideas, including transcultural exchange, religion, materiality, empire, class, and globalism. As such, this course addresses the basic contribution of art history to the humanities by demonstrating how individual art objects provide evidence for arguments about the cultures of the past. |

The sale of artwork, both contemporary and classical, comprises one of the most fascinating luxury markets in today's economy. It behaves more unpredictably than almost any other market. Many of its goods are non-fungible, and it often requires academic expertise. In this class, students approach art history from a market perspective, addressing topics such as patronage, market diversification, looting, NFTs, and the historical development of the auction house, museum, and gallery systems. Examples are taken from global sources. Students will visit auctions and galleries in New York and will write proposals for the acquisition of actual artworks to nearby museums. As such, this course offers a chance for students to build practical experience with galleries, auction houses, and museums. |

Renaissance depictions of the body range from idealized nudes to decaying, and sometimes ambulatory, corpses. In Europe, artists dissected human cadavers and, for the first time since antiquity, reflected the use of living models in their workshops and studios. In this course, we examine works that embodied early modern ideas about power and dependence, race and class, gender and sexuality, death and disease, the marginalized and the fantastic. Focusing on the artist's studio and early modern practice, we consider a diverse set of bodies as they were represented in paintings, sculpture, drawings, decorative arts, books and prints in relation to contemporary spiritual, political, and social concerns. We also consider ways that artists today incorporate Renaissance models and methods into their studio practice and work. |

This course introduces a range of approaches to understand architecture in an historical perspective. Focusing on European and American architecture from 1400 to the present, lectures and discussions will consider how architects have approached the built environment at various times in both urban and rural settings. Lectures and class discussions will discuss ways that buildings, gardens, landscapes, and urban plans have been shaped by cultural values, social beliefs, political and technological developments, rubrics of art, and responses to nature. In addition to situating architecture within historical perspectives, this class provides students with the tools to begin analyzing, understanding, and decoding the landscapes and environments that we inhabit today. |

This course explores the art and architecture of Northern Europe from the 12th-16th centuries, a period marked by dramatic cultural, religious, and social change. Beginning with the rise of Gothic cathedrals and the flourishing of manuscript illumination, stained glass, and sculpture, the course examines how artistic practices shaped and reflected spiritual devotion, civic identity, and political authority. We consider innovations in painting, printmaking, and domestic architecture over time, to flesh out the impact of a shifting art market, changes in patronage and the Protestant Reformation. Students will engage with a wide range of media and materials-from monumental architecture to intimate devotional objects and the emerging technology of print-in order to understand how artists responded to a changing world. |

Following the overthrow of the Aztec and Incan Empires, the Spanish Empire instituted programs of political, religious, and social control throughout Central and South America that permanently altered the cultural and artistic landscape of this region. Beginning with the foundation of the city of Santo Domingo in 1502 and ending with the "mission trail" of churches established by Junipero Serra in 18th-century Spanish California, this course will examine the art, architecture, and urbanism that projected the image of Spain onto the "New World." Other issues to be discussed include the interaction between Spanish and local traditions, symbolic map-making, the emergence of a "Spanish Colonial" sensibility, and the transformations of form and meaning at individual sites over time. |

During the seventeenth century, Europe underwent a series of civil, religious, and economic upheavals which paradoxically resulted in a period of extraordinarily innovative art. This course begins with the rise of the Roman Baroque, from the disturbing realism of Caravaggio to the multi-media theatricality of Bernini, examining artistic patronage and production in the highly charged political, social, and cultural contexts of Europe during and after the Thirty Years' War. It continues with a study of the broad range of artistic response to these developments in both Southern and Northern Europe, from the elaborate state pageantry of Rubens to the intensely personal portraiture of Rembrandt. Other artists to be studied include Poussin, Le Brun, Zurbaran, Velazquez, Van Dyck, and Vermeer. |

The course examines major trends in American painting, sculpture, architecture, and decorative arts from pre-colonial times to the early 20th century. Lectures and discussions consider artistic production and meaning, and situate artworks, objects, and buildings within social and cultural frameworks. Topics include Native American arts and material culture, colonial portraiture and architecture, and the development of American artistic output in the Federal period. Themes of politics, race, and understandings of the American landscape will be discussed alongside paintings, material culture, and architecture of the 19th century. This class will situate artworks, buildings, and objects within discussions of class, social hierarchies, and disenfranchisement, and will also consider the interpretation and presentation of these items in public settings like museums and exhibitions. |

Following the Second World War, artists transformed the avant-garde tradition of their European predecessors to establish a dialogue with the mass media and consumer culture that has resulted in a wide array of artistic movements. Issues ranging from multiculturalism and gender to modernism and postmodernism will be addressed through the movements of abstract expressionism, pop, minimalism, neo-expressionism and appropriation in the diverse media of video, performance, and photography, as well as painting and sculpture. Current exhibitions and criticism are integral to the course. |

Echoing the curriculum in Architecture Schools but tailored for liberal arts students in a studio setting, this class teaches the basics of architectural design and language. Through sketches, hardline drawings, and model-making, students explore the fundamental principles of hierarchy, proportion, space, light, surface, order, rhythm, contrast, tectonics, craftsmanship and technique. This course includes a series of pedagogically stepped abstract projects, adding complexity and dimensions, understanding and building upon what is successful in each project, culminating with a project exploring and adding the critical concepts of site, context and program. This class is recommended for those who might consider graduate study in architecture. |

War was a constant for every member of ancient Greek society, whether they were fighting in it, reveling in conquest, or lamenting the aftermath. In this course we will investigate diverse ancient Greek viewpoints on war, which may include techniques of warfare, discussions of Homer’s epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey, and plays by Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes. We will also consider how modern thinkers have used these visions to interpret our experiences of war, as in therapist Jonathan Shay's Achilles in Vietnam and Odysseus in America and the Theater of War project. |

In this course, students will analyze approaches to nature, ecology, and the environment within the cultural contexts of ancient Rome. The natural world—the realm of plants, animals, weather, and geological phenomena—was of great interest to Roman artists and authors. Variously depicted as dangerous and antagonistic to humanity and civilization or as an idealized space of comfort and cultural production, the natural world held an ambivalent position in Roman thought, considered both sharply differentiated from and yet vital to human life. As such, nature was central to a number of different realms of Roman culture, which we will analyze in this course: scientific inquiry, sacrificial/religious spaces, philosophical discourses, hunting, dining, and political and dynastic messaging. In addition, student will compare ancient approaches to modern conversations on nature and ecology, including climate and conservation. |

This course explores language's dynamic and multifaceted connections to social practices and power relations through literary texts, linguistic research, press articles, and other forms of cultural production in French. In what ways does language facilitate self-expression and interpersonal communication or, conversely, limit and restrict meaning? How have different individuals and groups responded to such constraints? Possible topics will include current and historical developments in French, tensions between national and regional languages (both in and outside of Europe), expressions of gender inclusivity, and language's relationship to power structures and institutions. Course conducted in French. |

How are cultural creations affected by the different social and historical contexts in which they were made? This class will employ the lens of cultural studies to explore a range of Francophone works, dating from the medieval to the contemporary, centering around a specific theme—like love, rebellion, coming of age, women’s writing, or family, for example—to examine how this theme evolves and is portrayed over time and in different contexts. Through a creative-critical approach, students will engage with the works both in academic and creative fashions. Sample reading list includes Marie de France, Montaigne, Molière, Voltaire, Théophile Gautier, Guy de Maupassant, Maurice Leblanc, Maryse Condé, Annie Ernaux, and Faïza Guène. |

Propaganda is everywhere. We see it in politics, in consumer culture, and in entertainment we consume. This course explores the use of cinema as a medium in service of political objectives. Taking a chronological approach, this course will explore the origins of propaganda and film in the early twentieth century up to the present day. Students will be introduced to theoretical models of propaganda and various methods and forms in visual culture. With a primary emphasis on the American and European context, this course will examine how film was weaponized during critical moments in the twentieth century as in World War I and II, during the Cold War, as well as how it is used today. All coursework in English. Films will have English subtitles. |

A society can perhaps best be understood through an examination of those who are excluded from it. This course will examine figures of deviancy in German literature, by way of texts that take up the notion of the outcast, misfit and outsider. Over the course of the semester we will read about witches, heretics, criminals and fanatics, in order to trace out the social, moral and philosophical implications of the tension between an individual deemed to not fit in with mainstream society. Readings will include Goethe, Grimms, Hauptmann, Dröste-Hülshoff, Kafka, Jelinek and Schlink. |

This course introduces students to the tragic imagination in 20th-century Hispanic literature through the theater of Federico García Lorca. The course will focus on close readings of Lorca’s major plays—such as Blood Wedding, Yerma, and The House of Bernarda Alba—to explore how his dramatic works engage with themes of tyranny, oppression, freedom, love, and identity.A central concern of the course will be understanding the concept of tragedy: how it functions as a literary form, how Lorca reimagines it within a modern Spanish context, and how it becomes a vehicle for political and emotional expression. Students will learn to analyze dramatic structure, character, imagery, and symbolism while situating Lorca’s theater within broader cultural and historical frameworks, including the lead-up to the Spanish Civil War.Throughout the semester, we will also consider Lorca’s influence on later Hispanic writers and artists and how tragedy continues to shape questions of justice, freedom, and human dignity in literature. |

This interdisciplinary seminar explores the body as a site of inscription and a medium of expression, engaging choreography as a mode of writing that moves across languages, cultures, and disciplines. We will focus on Latin America as a dynamic locus where literature, performance, and theory intersect to interrogate how bodies articulate histories of colonialism, resistance, and migration. In the study of works of writers who dance, and dancers who write—ranging from experimental poetry and narrative to contemporary dance, theater, and performance art—we will examine how movement generates meaning and how writing itself may be thought of as a form of corporeal practice. Students will engage with theoretical and creative works, experiment with interdisciplinary methodologies, and reflect on how embodied practices reshape the borders between literature, performance, and cultural critique. Works studied include those of Severo Sarduy, José Limón, Alma Guillermoprieto, Alicia Alonso, and Florencia Werchowsky.

Translation is one of the most critical skills for navigating our globalized world. Whether we are reading news stories from across the globe, watching Netflix shows from other languages and cultures, or studying abroad, we confront situations in which translation matters. In this course, students will develop practical skills in the art of translation, while also studying some of the crucial theories and questions that inform the field of Translation Studies. From infamous translation controversies to contemporary debates around translation and identity, our readings and discussions will analyze the political, ethical, and cultural stakes of translating. Given the practical component of the course, in which students workshop their own translations-in-progress, an intermediate-level knowledge of any language besides English is required (completion of 202 level or equivalent). |

This course (taught in English) starts from the dual premise that culture is largely a product of communication and that, in turn, communication is a basis and record of culture. Therefore, some of the questions central to this course will be: What is language? How do the many texts around us mediate our understanding of culture? And what happens when ideas and concepts are translated from one language and one cultural context to another? Students will be able to explore these and other questions within the context of their own experience of language and communication. Given the cross-cultural nature of this course, there will be regular guest lectures by faculty from a range of other fields. |

The course will survey the art and architecture of Rome from antiquity to contemporary times, with on-site examination of masterpieces of painting, sculpture, architecture, and urbanism with careful attention to their specific historical contexts and interrelated meanings. The evolving urbanism of the city and the development of an architectural vocabulary, of codes of representation and self-representation, of visual narrative strategies, and the survival of the classical tradition will be the focus of the course. The essential contribution of the art and architecture of Rome to the development of western art and architecture will thus be thoroughly investigated. |

The course will provide a parallel approach to photography which will alternate the analysis of important photographic works with a technical, practical introduction to the medium through a variety of photographic projects and activities aimed at engaging students with the various faces and identities of the urban and rural landscapes of Rome and Italy more generally. Students will come away from the course with an improved technical knowledge of the medium of photography and a heightened sensibility to the photographic image, a keener capacity to "see" and produce images.

An introduction to the history, theory, techniques, institutions and policies of art conservation. Students will deepen their understanding and appreciation of art by viewing masterpieces as complex, vulnerable materials that require our involvement in conservation if we are to grasp and preserve the artists’ message. We will examine firsthand outstanding examples of art conservation in several media and from different periods in history. Works may include ancient Etruscan tombs in Tarquinia, Egyptian paintings of the 3rd century, the huge Montelparo polyptych of the 15th century, Michelangelo’s frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, the Casina Pio IV (a beautiful 16th-century structure in the Vatican Gardens that has been comprehensively restored) and its stucco decorations, and gypsum casts of sculptures by Canova. We will discuss criteria and policies for selecting particular works of art for conservation (and necessarily neglecting others) when resources are scarce. We will also discuss preventive conservation, particularly the importance of environment and the ideal parameters for temperature humidity, air quality, and lighting. Slide lectures in the classroom alternate with on-site instruction at museums, monuments, and conservation workshops. |

This course will take a detailed look at the Holocaust principally from an Italian perspective. Through a combination of class lectures and discussions, film screenings and readings, students will be able to connect decisions taken in Fascist Italy with the end result of forced labour and mechanised killing. In doing so they will gain knowledge of pre-Fascist and Fascist Italy’s relationship with its Jewish population, the repressive nature of the dictatorship, its involvement in the Second World War and its alliance with Nazi Germany to gain a thorough grounding in how scholars have sought to explain Italy’s Holocaust. Having established the processes and practicalities by which Jews in Italy were rounded-up and deported from occupied Italy, students will reflect upon debates surrounding guilt and how this has been used to excuse or deflect responsibility for the deportation and murder of religious and political prisoners. Instruction will consist of a series of online lectures and class debates around assigned readings, film and literature. Throughout the duration of course we shall be reading and discussing Primo Levi’s account of his experience of surviving Auschwitz in If this is a Man. Providing a solid grounding in Italy’s role in the Holocaust, the course will also introduce students to how memory of this particular event has been/is constructed, used and abused for political means. |

This course intends to study and reconstruct the history of Rome from its origins to the present day. You will explore the city not as a showplace of famous monuments but as a complex system of historical, political, religious, and social elements that century after century shaped its distinctive urban character. Special topics will be: Rome as the capital of the Roman Empire, the transformation of the city in the Middle Ages, the impact of the popes of the Renaissance and Baroque age on the city’s urban development, and Rome as capital of Italy from 1870 onwards. Lectures will try in part to recreate an onsite experience typical of the course when offered in Rome through visual content and assignments. |

Through an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach, the course will engage with different strategies and forms of countervisuality and protest in art from the early twentieth century up through contemporary examples of "artivist" actions. Through examples of artistic activism, the course will explore themes such as social justice, racial justice, decolonization, gender equality, immigration, climate change, and LGBTQIA+ visibility. The course will have a robust field component, including meetings and conversations with Italy-based artists and art workers, visits to local art projects, associations, artist-run spaces, contemporary art institutions and local festivals. |

The course covers major artistic periods from the point of view of women’s presence as artists, patrons, and subjects of the art of Rome. It takes advantage of the richness of monuments and works of art for direct analysis and discussion in the light of women’s studies. Special importance will be given to the reading of primary sources as well as to feminist art historical scholarship, with related discussions in class. The last part of the course will study the Roman-born Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. The course considers not only the life and career of this woman artist in its historical context, but also the impulse the study of her experience has given to women’s studies in the field of the history of art. |

This course is organized around a series of controversies regarding the European Union. The EU has become the world's largest market, with over 500 million people. It is unique in world history in creating a form of government across 27 nation states without military conquest or force. It has become an economic, diplomatic and arguably a political actor at a superpower level, though militarily it remains less important. What is Europe exactly? How far can it or should it expand? Is Europe Christian, Secular, Liberal, Socialist? Who else should join - Turkey, Russia, Israel, North African countries? Is the European Social Model an alternative to American Free Market policies? Can it Survive Globalization? Can Europe replace the US a leader of the West? How does the EU work-is it really democratic? If so, how do the citizens of 27 countries influence their continental governmental bodies? Who is in charge and how do the institutions of Europe work? Is the Euro the future reserve money for the world economy, replacing the dollar? Students who complete ROME 327 may not earn credit for POLS 337. |

Students will investigate the artistic evolution of the sculptor/architect, the influence he exerted on his contemporaries, the legacy he left to posterity, as well as the literary and biographical texts that shaped the image of the artist as we have come to know him. The weekly lectures will be complemented by weekly on-site visits to museums (such as the Borghese Gallery and the Palazzo Barberini), churches (such as Sant' Andrea al Quirinale and St. Peter's Basilica) and sites usually inaccessible to general visitor (such as the Oratorio del Gonfalone, the Casino Rospigliosi and the archives of the Accademia di San Luca)/ The seminar component of the course consists of reports and on-site presentations by the students. |

This course will investigate the migratory experience in Italy. In addition to more recent attention to the so called "migration crisis" in Italy, which has represented a unique and unprecedented case, Italy has had an important historical relationship with migration and issues related to migration (mobility, citizenship rights, border crossing). The course will explore the historical background of Italy as a country of emigration and will end with an analysis of the current condition of Italy as a country of immigration. This journey will be conducted through the narration of different experiences that characterize the complex contemporary identity of Italy and its inhabitants: Italians abroad, Roma and Sinti, postcolonial citizens, historical migrant enclaves, the presence of refugees, asylum seekers, and irregular migrants. |

This is an interdisciplinary course that draws on perspectives from anthropology, sociology, political science, geography, economy and other relevant disciplines. It offers the students local perspectives on globalization as it allows global perspectives on the city of Rome. The intertwined processes of globalization and localization ("glocalization") will be addressed via an in-depth study of the city and the social, cultural, political, demographic and economic transformations Rome is currently going through. Virtual on-site visits will enable students to experience alternative settings of the "Eternal City" and give them direct contact with local inhabitants and representatives of religious/ethnic minority groups. |

This course is an introduction to the fundamental problems involved in drawing from observation. We will develop the skill to “see” freshly and purposefully, and the ability to interpret that perception onto paper. We will learn to transform a flat piece of paper into a container of light and air, in which can be created the illusion of space and 3-dimensional form. The course identifies and explores the full vocabulary of visual thinking through drawing, utilizing a variety of observational subjects. The goal is to help you develop a personal commitment to drawing—to your own way of seeing—and to help you express it with control and authenticity. Expect to spend around six hours each week on assigned work between classes. |

Art Studio: Projects in Painting, is the follow-up course to STAR 235 Oil Painting for Today. It will serve the needs of students who wish to continue the study of painting at the intermediate and advanced levels. While the main content of the course centers on a few studio projects over the semester (Intermediate level), or a semester-long project (Advanced level), there is also content shared by all students enrolled in the class. The shared content consists of reports on research in support of the projects, lectures and demonstrations by the professor, guest lecturers and visiting artists, and most important, regularly scheduled group critiques on studio projects. While oil paints will be the medium of focus, particularly at the intermediate level, other painting media will be introduced especially as appropriate to address needs presented by individual student projects. |
