2854 AMST-203-01 Conflcts & Cultures Am Society 1.00 LEC Hussain, Shaznene TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM TBA HUIP  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This course introduces the key questions, frameworks, and methodologies of American Studies through the lens of a specific decade in US history. How have dynamics of race, gender, and class formed in relation to one another, and how did they intersect during this decade? How have Black, Indigenous, and immigrant peoples in the United States negotiated and resisted these dynamics via social movements and cultural production? Topics of study may include: slavery, colonialism, immigration, gender and sexuality, capitalism, and war. Students explore these themes through primary and cultural texts such as literature, film, popular culture, and political documents. Together, we study this decade with the understanding that these histories did not begin or end during this period; rather, they continue to structure American society today.
2838 AMST-265-01 Thinking with Things 1.00 LEC Guzman, Amanda MW: 10:00AM-11:15AM TBA SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: ANTH-265-01
  Our relationship to and interaction with things is a defining feature of the human experience. To think with things is to use objects as the primary lens of analysis. This course explores a range of object case-studies and the unique questions they present for understanding American history and contemporary society. The course centers on close-looking or building interpretations from direct material observation. Students work hands-on with objects spanning from historical texts to folk art and souvenir material to contemporary art and digital media. Object case-studies draw from diverse representations including cultural heritage debates in museums and portrayals of cultural identity performance in popular media. Students will learn to critically examine and discuss the many materials that make up our world.

  Enrollment limited to 18 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: HRST-324-01
  This course will examine gender roles and relations of power in international and transnational politics. The course focuses on the constructions of gender difference, experiences of women and LGBTQ+ people, as well as efforts to transform uneven or unjust gendered relations of power in global politics. We will further consider how gender, in combination with constructs of race, class, sexuality, nationality, and citizenship, serves as a basis for political organization, the distribution of power and resources, and participation in global politics. Topics covered will include conflict, security, economic globalization, labor, migration, environment, human rights, humanitarian intervention, nation-building, and transnational justice.
2436 AMST-327-01 Racial Capitalism 1.00 LEC Camp, Jordan MW: 11:30AM-12:45PM TBA HUIP  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.

  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: HIST-397-01
  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.

  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: RELG-205-01
  This course is an exploration of the ways in which Africans make sense of their worlds through religion. By reading a wide range of ethnographic and historical texts, students will consider the challenges that post-colonial politics present to understanding religion in Africa and in the diaspora Students will examine a variety of African religious traditions ranging from indigenous practices to the ways in which Christianity and Islam have developed uniquely African beliefs. In so doing, students will frame African religions as global phenomena while considering the historical and contemporary salience of the many canonical themes found in African religion such as spirit possession, divination, healing, magic, witchcraft, sorcery, and animal sacrifice.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This course will examine how the northwestern and northern mountainous regions of South Asia have been constructed in the Western popular imagination, both in literary texts and in academic debates. 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.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This course takes a cross-cultural look at the ways in which people define work in daily life. 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.
2836 ANTH-261-01 Political Violence in SE Asia 1.00 LEC Conroe, Andrew TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM TBA GLB  
  Enrollment limited to 29 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Southeast Asia has been both a subject of anthropological fascination and the location of some of the worst mass political violence of the 20th century.

    Cross-listing: RELG-281-01
  NOTE: 10 seats reserved for first year students, 5 for sophomores, 5 for juniors.
  Introduction to the foundations of religion through an examination of religious phenomena prevalent in traditional cultures.

2440 ANTH-306-01 Disruptive Bodies 1.00 SEM Eisenberg-Guyot, Nadja T: 1:30PM-4:10PM TBA SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.
2397 ANTH-308-01 Anthropology of Place 1.00 SEM Nadel-Klein, Jane M: 1:30PM-4:10PM TBA GLB5  
  Enrollment limited to 18 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.
2841 ANTH-318-01 Unsettling the White Gaze 1.00 SEM Eisenberg-Guyot, Nadja W: 6:30PM-9:00PM TBA SOIP  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  White supremacy and racial capitalism structure our world, setting in motion the systems of domination that Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly describes as a "racially hierarchical political economy constituting war and militarism, imperialist accumulation, expropriation by domination, and labor superexploitation." Within this formation, the violence of whiteness is occluded and concealed by treating whiteness and white people as normative, rational, and inevitable. In this class, we will turn our anthropological gaze upon whiteness itself, exposing its insidious modes of self-and-other construction, and destabilizing its ocular power to define others. We will pay special attention to how the white colonial gaze has operated in the liberal discipline of anthropology and explore ethnographic methods for studying whiteness and white supremacy.
2536 ANTH-330-01 Anthropology of Food 1.00 SEM Beebe, Rebecca M: 6:30PM-9:00PM TBA SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Seats Reserved for Anthropology majors.
  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?

  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.

  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.

  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 post WWII-1990 period is marked by some of the most remarkable economic growth in US history. During this period we also saw the growth of a strong middle class. It is often taken as a truism that a healthy society requires a healthy middle class. Currently there is a concern among social scientists that the middle income class is under attack and may be diminishing. As economists, we can ask questions about how the middle class came into existence and the role it has played in the performance of the macroeconomy. We will address these questions, along with exploring the reasons for and consequences of a declining middle class and the various policy proposals that have been put forward to address this problem.

  Experimental economics provides economists with an alternative to the traditional methods used in economic research. Researchers use experimental methods to answer questions when, for example, appropriate field data does not readily exists or data are highly incomplete. While a researcher is at the mercy of the coded dataset using traditional research methods, experimental economics provides researchers with the freedom and control to (at least in principle) determine each detail of the research design. Topics to be covered in this course include what constitutes a research question that requires and/or would benefit from the use of experimental methods, optimal experimental design choices, ethical considerations when collecting data from human subjects, and data collection and analysis. In this course, students will design, carry-out, and evaluate an experiment to answer a research question of their choosing.

  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.

  Schools and educational systems historically and continually are often spaces of exclusion and marginalization, built and maintained to serve the needs and desires of the privileged. But education also holds the possibility of being liberatory and transformative. This course will centrally explore the questions: What does it mean to educate for justice? How can education and/or schooling play a role in creating and working towards freedom, resistance, healing, respect, and sovereignty? We will examine theoretical approaches to critical and liberatory education, as well as how these theories take hold in practice, both in formal and informal schooling settings. Areas of study include multicultural education, culturally relevant pedagogy, critical pedagogy, social justice education, feminist pedagogy, anti-racist teaching, and abolitionist teaching.

  Fifteen hundred years ago, there was no such thing as English literature. The few examples of writing we have from that period are in a language that hardly anyone understands today. And yet, by the time of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, England had developed one of the great world literatures. How did this happen? Starting with early masterpieces like Beowulf (in translation), we will trace the emergence of "English literature," as we now know it. In addition to major figures like Chaucer, Milton, and Shakespeare, we'll consider authors who fill out the historical picture.

  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."

  Writing for the Middle Grade explores the rich traditions and contemporary practices of literature written for readers aged roughly 8--12. The course introduces students to key works and authors from the nineteenth century to the present day, examining how middle-grade writing has developed in response to changing ideas about childhood, education, family, and the imagination. Through close reading and discussion, students will consider questions of voice, perspective, narrative structure, and the ethical and emotional responsibilities (and possibilities) of writing for young readers. Alongside critical study, the course places strong emphasis on creative practice. Students will experiment with writing in a range of middle-grade genres, including the school story, fantasy, adventure, mystery, and historical literatures. Workshops and guided exercises will encourage students to experiment with age-appropriate characters and plots while reflecting on how genre conventions shape storytelling for this audience. By the end of the course, students will have a deeper understanding of middle-grade literature as both a literary tradition and a living, creative form -- and will have produced original work of their own.

  How does the printed page connect readers across space and time? In this course, students will read widely in the tradition of lyric poetry in English, locating their own individual points of connection with the assigned texts, and then devote particular attention to practices of close looking. How do elements of typographic and material design shape poetic meaning? What’s the difference/connection between seeing, reading, and knowing? How have poets productively blurred the relationship of the visual and the verbal, treating the page more like a canvas than as a mere container for words? As a culmination to the course, students will conduct interviews with Trinity English alumni/ae in order to understand contemporary poetry and publication practices from a variety of professional perspectives.

  What does it mean to write about a place? Our course will investigate this question by considering the literature of the state where we all live: Connecticut. Perhaps now known primarily as the epitome of New England small town life—think Stars Hollow in Gilmore Girls—Connecticut has appeared in literature in many ways: as the homeland of many Indigenous peoples, as a center of manufacturing and innovation, as an example of suburban ennui. Ranging from the 18th century to the present, the course readings will place particular emphasis on the relationships that people of color have developed with this place. Authors may include Samson Occom, William Grimes, Mark Twain, Ann Petry, Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel, and Ocean Vuong.

  The nineteenth century was a period of rapid social change. The industrial revolution fundamentally transformed how people lived and worked. To some it was an age of possibility, when social mobility was possible at last. To millions it was a period of suffering, when much was promised, but delivered to just a few. This course examines socially-engaged literatures. Some writers look to the past for solace; others hope for a better future. Some see the home as a site of comfort; others see it as a prison. Some celebrate the individual, while others argue that community forms the bedrock of a fairer world. As we gain a firm foothold in these conversations, we will debate the part literature can play in times of intense upheaval.

  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  NOTE: Fulfills Post-1800 and Additional Lit or Film course requirements.
  In this course we explore a literature that responds to the traumatic events that we experience collectively and individually, from the nightmare worlds of the great plagues, contemporary and past; to the mass cruelties of war, slavery, the violence, repression and terror of “power” (wars, genocides, femicides, "disappearances"); and to the experience of devastating personal loss that so many experience in their lives. This is both a heroic and an intimate literature, that answers at times overwhelming horror with our seemingly most humble yet enduring tool, words; sometimes of pain and grief, shared with others; also, variously, of resistance, memory, refuge, resilience and imaginative transformation. Note: This course fulfills the UVSJ requirement (Underrepresented Voices in Social Justice).

  This course, we will begin by reading, in English translation, the poetry of Homer; we will then consider how poets such as John Milton and William Blake (as well as later poets such as W.H. Auden, Derek Walcott, Alice Oswald, and/or A.E. Stallings) have absorbed, reworked, and subverted the conventions of an epic tradition. We will have a chance to explore how contributions to the epic genre – through translation, reimagination, illustration and erasure – have in an English language context reworked the connection of past, present and future; conveyed the costs of war; and celebrated the role of poetry in forging ever-evolving concepts of connection and community. This course is research-intensive, and fulfills the requirement of a pre-1800 course in the English major.

  In The History of Sexuality, vol. 1, Michel Foucault insisted that sexual identity is a modern phenomenon, coming into existence at the end of the nineteenth century. Four years later, John Boswell provocatively described a flourishing "gay" subculture in twelfth-century Europe. Rather than disprove Boswell's fantastic claim, Foucault seriously considered it, and he began his history of sexuality anew to inquire what a "premodern" sexuality might entail. In this course, we will develop our own theory of "premodern queerness" by considering the acts and identities of premodern subjects in medieval literature, read alongside historical documents, theology, and queer theory. Rather than simply contrast a premodern sexuality to (post)modern queerness, we will consider the ways the past can inspire new horizons of possibility for queer expression.

  This course explores the development of ideas about race through literary works from the long 18th century. Race today is commonly thought of as biological and immutable. But in the 18th century, race was understood as much more changeable, influenced by the environment and one’s circumstances. We will read some of the most important literary works from colonial America to consider questions such as: How do individuals and groups become racialized? How do authors of color reflect on changing ideas of race? Authors include Aphra Behn, Cotton Mather, Benjamin Franklin, Olaudah Equiano, Hendrick Aupaumut, and John Marrant.

  This course focuses on four remarkable poems—Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, Cleanness, and Patience—written by the anonymous, fourteenth-century English poet known as the Pearl-Poet. A contemporary of Chaucer, the Pearl-Poet participates in the Ricardian period’s “Golden Age” of English literature, but the Pearl-Poet’s poetry offers a level of intricate sophistication unlike any of his peers, bringing together astonishing attention to literary form with deep consideration of the capaciousness of language. The poems are overloaded with significances that emerge only after multiple readings. Further, the poems exist in a single, remarkable manuscript, the earliest English manuscript to contain full-page images. In this course we will study the poems and their manuscript, carefully considering their multiplying meanings within their literary and social contexts.

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.

  Enrollment limited to 35 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Between 1914 and 1945, Europe was destroyed, rebuilt and destroyed once more. All aspects of society were affected and changed by the wars, including the gender order. This course will examine the breaks, as well as the continuities, in the relationship between men and women over the course of two devastating World Wars. The wars forced women to take on jobs previously restricted to men, as well as navigate the challenges of the Home Front; meanwhile, men were tasked with reintegrating into society after facing the horrors of war, often returning to a home that was much different than the one they had left. Through memoirs, scholarly texts, and film, we will explore how the wars affected conceptions of both femininity and masculinity in Europe.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.

  Enrollment limited to 35 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.

  Counts as one of the survey courses for the two-semester history sequence for the Asian Studies major. This course examines the social, economic, and cultural transformations that occurred in Japan from its initial encounter with Western modernity through its rise to military superpower status in the first half of the 20th century. Students will gain a greater understanding of the problems that have shaped Japan, by exploring the challenges, conflicts, triumphs, and tragedies of modernization, industrialization, and nation-building as the Japanese experienced them in the 19th and 20th centuries. The course concludes with a detailed exploration of the road to the Pacific War and the social, political, and cultural effects of mobilization for total war followed by total defeat.
2258 HIST-238-01 Caribbean History 1.00 LEC Euraque, Dario TR: 2:55PM-4:10PM TBA HUGI  
  Enrollment limited to 35 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.

  Enrollment limited to 35 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This first half of the Chinese history survey covers roughly the period between the appearance of the first ancient Shang city-states more than three thousand years ago until the Ming empire became a central hub in a truly global economy by 1600. As we go through millenia of Chinese history, we will consider several questions: What did it mean to be Chinese at different historical and spatial junctures? How much of Chinese history was shaped by what was happening outside of what we know today as China? How did the historical dynamics within China shape the world outside of it? In the process, we will look at the kinds of historiographical debates that have animated scholarship, primarily in English, about imperial China.

  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Humans are animals. Most histories are about us, the most prominent and impactful animals on this planet. But we have arrived at where we are today on the backs of other non-human animals whose histories are often taken for granted. This seminar puts the animal back into our histories. It looks at how humans have shaped the ecological and evolutionary paths of animals but also how animals have influenced the course of history as agents of empire, biotechnology, and culture. We will explore the interdisciplinary methods that scholars use to understand the complex interactions between human and non-human animals and students will have the opportunity to undertake a project in animal history.

    Cross-listing: AMST-406-01
  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.

  Only students in the Humanities Gateway Program are allowed to enroll in this course.
  This course explores a variety of Christian teachings on gender and sexuality, with a particular focus on women and queerness within the tradition. We will consider the way Christianity sought to normalize certain constructions of gender, the body, and sexuality, while also retrieving alternative Christian concepts and performances that complicate and challenge the norm. We will draw on classical/biblical, medieval, and modern sources from a variety of genres in our discussions: art, philosophical and theological treatises, legal manuals, prayers and hymns, hagiography, poetry, novels and film. Topics include the role of erotic desire and gender fluidity in Christian spirituality; asceticism and celibacy; martyrdom and self-sacrifice; grief, motherhood, and marriage; mystics and witches; and the battle to control reproduction.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Only students in the Humanities Gateway Program are allowed to enroll in this course.
  When was the idea of the individual born? When did we begin to think of ourselves as distinct individuals? How did men and women in the ancient, medieval and early modern worlds define the contours of their own identities? Our own sense of individuality is the product of many revolutions in religion, law, and science. This course will trace the evolution of the idea of the individual using great works of literature, art, memoirs, letters, and autobiographies. Beginning in the ancient near east and Mediterranean, we will trace the evolving nature of human individuality through the Middle Ages, the early modern period, and finally into our own world. Ultimately, the course seeks to consider the fundamental question: what does it mean to be human?

  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  By examining the contributions of both ecofeminism and intersectional environmentalism this course highlights how the same ideologies and historical injustices against women, queer folk, and the environment are connected to Human Rights violations. This course is designed to provide theoretical, historical, and scientific paradigms to analyze and understand the ways in which women and queer folk are treated as inferior under Western heteronormative standards, as well as how the natural environment has been deemed inferior and separate from humans/men and culture (via capitalist ideals of progress/modernity). Using a feminist, queer, environmental justice lens, this course will further explore the connections between sexism, racism, gender and sexuality discrimination, class exploitation, and environmental destruction.

  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.

  Enrollment limited to 35 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  At the core of brain science is a tension between the immaterial mind, soul, or consciousness and the tangible body and nervous system. Similarly, compelling case studies from split-brain patients and evidence for the left-lateralization of language functions have encouraged dualistic notions of the "emotional, artistic, creative" right-brain and the "verbal, mathematical, logical" left-brain hemispheres. Following a brief introduction to neuroanatomy, this course explores the analogous "mind-body" and "left-right brain" problems by integrating evolutionary, biomedical, socio-cultural, and humanities perspectives on the intricate neurobiological bases and phenomenological aspects of human experience. We interrogate the hypothesis that human brain-culture coevolution has accelerated left-hemispheric dominance exacerbating challenges of the western world ranging from the increased prevalence of mental illness and political polarization to climate change.

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.

  What is "Leadership?" To what extent can it be defined and practiced according to fundamental general principles? How must the application of such principles be adapted to differing institutional, organizational, and community settings, and to varying situations? Can anyone lead effectively with sufficient opportunity and, if so, to what degree must leadership be "personalized" by each individual? This course will explore leadership principles through readings from a broad spectrum of fields and historical periods and seek to identify the key lessons to be applied to leadership in the current public policy sphere. Students will engage with the course material through a series of short essays and one independent research project focused on a leadership analysis of a contemporary public institution or not-for-profit organization.

  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 is a general survey of philosophy of medicine and epidemiology. After covering some preliminaries from medicine's history, we will ask: what is health? Is it an individual or collective good? What is disease? How does medicine demarcate healthy and diseased conditions? Are health and disease natural kinds or are they socially constructed? What is the relationship between medicine and biomedical science, and how do they explain? What is epidemiology, and how is it distinct from medicine? How are epidemiological models constructed, and what kind of information do they provide? Finally we will consider the role that values and socioeconomic forces play in medicine, epidemiology, and biomedical science, and how these fields might address social inequities in health outcomes.

  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. NOTE: Students may not earn credit for PBPL 220 and POLS 242.

  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.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This course will examine the consequences of partisan sorting and polarization on American democracy. We will first define polarization by considering competing definitions. We will then consider whether polarization is an elite phenomenon or a mass phenomenon. Throughout we will be attentive to the asymmetry of the two main parties. The Republican Party is a vehicle for a well financed extended party network on the right while the Democratic Party is a policy-making party that needs a wider base of support. Finally, we will examine how elite polarization has contributed to democratic backsliding the US.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  American politics at all levels and branches of government are full of competing interests based on business, religion, class, gender, race, sexuality, etc., vying to shape policies. Several political science theories exist on how these interests are represented in the American political system. Some argue that competing interests create a plural society where no one group can dominate our politics. Others say that certain groups hold more significant sway in our politics. Recognizing the importance of interest groups in government, this course will examine who interest groups are, where they fit in our politics, how they are organized, and what influence they have on policymaking. This course will focus on how weak, marginalized interests without substantial money or power compete against powerful groups like major corporations and elite interests. Students who receive credit for POLS 215 may not earn credit for POLS 315.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This course surveys American political thought from the colonial era to the present with a focus on how Americans have told and contested the story of America. We rely on primary source material ranging from political pamphlets and novels to architecture, art, and music to examine the diffusion of debates about American democracy into popular culture where subordinated groups have debated and contested the meaning of America. We explore the essentially contested nature of American identity to place broader contemporary debates about justice, liberty, equality, rights, democracy, nationalism, liberalism, and republicanism in a historical context.
2871 POLS-329-01 The Politics of China 1.00 SEM Thompson-Brusstar, Michael MW: 2:55PM-4:10PM TBA SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Chinese politics shapes the world within --and outside-- its borders. This course will provide an overview of politics in the People's Republic since its founding in 1949, with a special focus on the developments since Mao Zedong's death in 1978 and the policy challenges that confront China's current administration. Key topics will include: how the Chinese bureaucracy works; China's economic growth; the role of political elites; the making of Chinese foreign policy; legal reforms; the role of civil society organizations; and the politics of human rights. By reading original documents, consulting translated memoirs, and through in-class simulations, students will develop a hands-on understanding of power, politics, and development in the People's Republic.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  China's rise to global power status makes the relationship between the U.S. and China one of the most vital and complex bilateral relationships in the world. China may pose significant challenges to American power and interests, but many global challenges require US-China cooperation. This course will use both a historical and a contemporary perspective to see why this is the case and to examine how the relationship may be managed going forward. Key topics will include: US-China economic relations; people-to-people relations; the Taiwan question; regional security; climate change; the Belt and Road Initiative; and what China's rise means for global human rights. The course invites students to think about US-China relations from multiple perspectives and to form educated views of this critical international relationship.

2497 POLS-341-01 Policing and Human Rights 1.00 SEM Flom, Hernan TR: 2:55PM-4:10PM TBA SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.
2874 POLS-349-01 Black & Indigenous Pol Thought 1.00 SEM Salgado, Gabriel M: 1:30PM-4:10PM TBA SOIP  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  How have various traditions of Black and Indigenous Political Thought theorized race and its effects on the world? How can centering Blackness push us to rethink how colonization operates, and how can centering Indigeneity do the same for thinking about slavery? In this course, we will explore both Black and Indigenous Political Thought. We will particularly focus on areas in which they converge, as well as where they stand in productive tension with each other. Readings will include works by Patrick Wolfe, Tiffany Lethabo King, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, and Denise Ferreira da Silva.

Readings will draw from an array of academic disciplines, including political science, history, philosophy, and sociology.
2381 POLS-357-01 Hannah Arendt 1.00 SEM Litvin, Boris TR: 9:25AM-10:40AM TBA SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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 an examination of postwar American foreign policy. After reviewing the major theoretical and interpretive perspectives, we examine the policymaking process, focused on the main actors in the executive and legislative branches, as well as interest groups, public opinion, and the media. We then turn to contemporary issues: 9/11 and the “war on terror,” Iraq and Afghanistan, nuclear proliferation, U.S. relations with Russia, China, and Europe, and the future American role in the world.
2876 POLS-384-01 Democracy on Stage 1.00 SEM Litvin, Boris TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM TBA SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This course investigates the relationship between stagecraft, representation, and collective agency in democratic life. Insofar as democracy aspires to maintain vibrant public conversations, this course considers how citizens are shaped by communal performances of myths, stories, and other manifestations of theater. How does theater cultivate democratic practices-and how might it perpetuate marginalization? Is there something theatrical at the core of democratic belonging? Investigating these questions, we turn to ancient Greek dramas, then place them into conversation with modern political theoretic debates about art and politics, and then consider recent transformations in stagecraft, focusing especially on social media and populism.
2877 POLS-390-01 Theor Internat Political Econ 1.00 SEM Kamola, Isaac MW: 11:30AM-12:45PM TBA GLB5  
  Enrollment limited to 18 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This course asks a number of core questions concerning international political economy: What explains inequality between nations? How do countries develop? What can states, international institutions, and other political actors do to advance economic prosperity? How one answers these questions, however, depends upon where one stands regarding various fundamental principles of political economy. We start the class with the work of Adam Smith and Karl Marx. We then examine how this debate plays out in the work of early twentieth century thinkers debating the cause of the Great Depression and the two world wars (including Polanyi, Schumpeter, Keynes, Hayek, and Friedman). We conclude by examining various contemporary economic issues.

  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.

    Cross-listing: PBPL-288-01
  The old saying goes, "Never discuss religion and politics in polite company." Yet, from theological views on abortion to the Black liberation struggle, it is hard to avoid intersections of religion and politics, especially as they relate to gender and race. In this course, we examine these examples and more to ask why religion and politics are so intertwined and pervasive in our global society, and what they have to do with racial and gendered power. We focus on the United States and consider religious studies and public policy perspectives. We conclude by examining our local context.

  Prerequisite: C- or better in Sociology 101
  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.

  Sexuality has often been considered to be a natural, biological instinct-a drive that is fueled by hormones, genes or deep psychic impulses. During the last twenty years, however, scholars (including sociologists) have challenged this view of sexuality. Instead, they argue that how we organize our sexuality-our desires, ideas, value systems, practices and identities-are profoundly shaped by social and cultural influences. Although this course focuses on the social construction of homosexuality, we will also examine the many ways that normative as well as nonnormative sexualities are socially constructed. We will also examine the many ways that the social construction of sexuality is informed by class, gender, race and ethnicity. Using materials from sociology and from the many other disciplines that are working in the areas of lesbian and gay studies and queer theory, we will explore the impact that history, economics, social structure and cultural logics have had on sexual behaviors, identities, and belief systems. Enrollment limited.

  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.

  Enrollment limited to 25 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: SOCL-221-01
  Prerequisite: Urban Studies 101 or permission of instructor.
  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.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.

  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.

    Cross-listing: SOCL-260-01
  Sexuality has often been considered to be a natural, biological instinct-a drive that is fueled by hormones, genes or deep psychic impulses. During the last twenty years, however, scholars (including sociologists) have challenged this view of sexuality. Instead, they argue that how we organize our sexuality-our desires, ideas, value systems, practices and identities-are profoundly shaped by social and cultural influences. Although this course focuses on the social construction of homosexuality, we will also examine the many ways that normative as well as nonnormative sexualities are socially constructed. We will also examine the many ways that the social construction of sexuality is informed by class, gender, race and ethnicity. Using materials from sociology and from the many other disciplines that are working in the areas of lesbian and gay studies and queer theory, we will explore the impact that history, economics, social structure and cultural logics have had on sexual behaviors, identities, and belief systems. Enrollment limited.

  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.

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.

  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This seminar takes a global and cross-cultural view of landscape art in the early modern through contemporary periods. Landscapes often appear to be politically neutral. They offer us escapes to unspoiled places where nature is celebrated- sublime wildernesses, pastoral pasts, and Edenic gardens. Yet in many parts of the world, the rise of landscape art coincided with and contributed to ideologies of expansionism, colonialism, industrialism, and resource extraction. In this class, we wrestle with these contradictions as we consider the global history of landscape art.

  For more than 135 years, films have shaped information, interpretation, and understanding. Like any other cultural product, cinema is able to convey the spirit of the time and location. Therefore, it is necessary to examine its viewpoints, interpretive decisions, and biases. This course looks at Hispanophone motion pictures as primary historical sources and as metaphors of sociopolitical, historical, and cultural change. Films from Spain, the Americas, Africa, and the Pacific will be examined to analyze them as representations of cultural change. We will study how these films react to and are influenced by political and sociocultural contexts, how filmmakers use film to represent their experiences and history, how cinema frames the fears and concerns at a period in time, and how viewers reinterpret their meaning. This course will be taught in Spanish.

  Prerequisite: HISP 260 or higher, 270 recommended
  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.

  All cultures are rooted in geography. Using literary works, images, cartography, and digital mapping technology we will ask how the relationship between culture and geography in Italy has changed over time. Italians have adapted to living in a fragile landscape, prone to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and floods. Two world wars and industrialization have also left their mark. How, for example, have extreme weather and the climate change crisis in the Mediterranean region impacted the country? Analogous to how we will interpret the Italian landscape students will be encouraged to interpret the challenges and opportunities of their own landscapes that are like open books that tell complex tales.

  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.

  NOTE: This course is open only to students studying away at the Rome campus.
  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.

  NOTE: This course is for Trinity in Rome study away students only.
  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.
