2757 AMST-202-01 Early America 1.00 LEC Wickman, Thomas MWF: 10:00AM-10:50AM TBA HUM  
  Enrollment limited to 25 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: HIST-201-01
  This course introduces students to major developments in the political, economic, and social history of North America from the sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. We will study indigenous sovereignty, encounters between Europeans and Native Americans, the founding of European colonies, the rise of the Atlantic slave trade, the Seven Years' War, the American Revolution, the spread of human enslavement, the War of 1812, Indian removal policy, U.S. wars with Native nations, westward expansion, the U.S.-Mexican War, abolitionism, and the Civil War. Students will be challenged to imagine American history within Atlantic and global contexts and to comprehend the expansiveness of Native American homelands and the shifting nature of North American borderlands.
2417 AMST-203-01 Conflcts & Cultures Am Society 1.00 LEC Nebolon, Juliet MW: 10:00AM-11:15AM TBA HUM  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  NOTE: 16 seats reserved for first year students, 3 for sophomores.
  NOTE: AMST majors: if you are a rising junior or senior and have not yet taken AMST 203, please contact the professor to be enrolled in this course.
  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.

  This seminar examines environmental thinking across histories and cultures in order to retrieve sources of hope and wisdom for a planetary future. Reading and discussion will foreground current humanity's vast inheritance when it comes to ways of existing in community with and knowing a living planet. Students will look critically at how texts, images, objects, and practices are historical evidence of the many ways humans have imagined natural communities and acted within them.
2743 AMST-285-01 Born in Blood 1.00 LEC Gac, Scott MW: 2:55PM-4:10PM TBA HUM  
  Enrollment limited to 49 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: HIST-285-01
  This course explores the formations and functions of violence in the United States from 1754 to 1900. It investigates government (federal, state, and local) and individuals-and the intersection of the government and the individual-regarding military bodies, access to weapons, and legal and extralegal violent activities. Using figures from the well-known (George Washington or Abraham Lincoln) to the lesser known (Hannah Dustan or Robert Smalls), the class questions the limits and boundaries of American violence according to race, class, and gender. In the end, students will debate whether violence belongs aside liberty, democracy, freedom, and equality in the pantheon of American political and cultural ideals.
2882 AMST-301-01 AmStud Seminar 1.00 SEM Heatherton, Christina R: 1:30PM-4:10PM TBA WEB  
  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person

2419 AMST-314-01 Global Radicalism 1.00 SEM Heatherton, Christina TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM TBA GLB2  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: HRST-314-01
  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.
2881 AMST-329-01 Civil War Literature 1.00 SEM Hager, Christopher TR: 9:25AM-10:40AM TBA HUM  
  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: ENGL-329-01
  In this course, we will learn about the literary culture of the Civil War era (by reading Louisa May Alcott, Rebecca Harding Davis, Herman Melville, and Walt Whitman, among others) and also consider broader questions about how we read, value, and remember literary works. What makes a text "Civil War literature"? Must it have been written during the U.S. Civil War, or about events of that war, or by a person who participated in the war? And do we understand literature differently when we organize it around a historical event rather than forms, genres, or authors? We will engage with the most recent scholarship on the subject and converse (in person or via Skype) with some of the nation's leading experts on Civil War literature.
2880 AMST-331-01 Lit of Native New England 1.00 SEM Wyss, Hilary TR: 1:30PM-2:45PM TBA HUM  
  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: ENGL-331-01
  Before it was New England, this was Native space. From the Wampanoags to the Mohegans, Narragansetts and Pequots, diverse Algonquian communities imbued their physical space with their own histories, traditions, and literatures. With the arrival of English settlers, Native Americans became active participants in a world deeply invested in writing and written traditions, and they marked their presence through English colonial written forms while maintaining a longstanding commitment to their own communities and lifeways. In this course we will explore the great variety of writing by and about Native Americans in this region: we will look at the long tradition of Native American literary presence in New England, from English language texts to other forms of cultural expression. The course is research intensive. Note: For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written between 1700-1900.
2909 AMST-332-01 Critical Studies in Higher Ed 1.00 SEM Baldwin, Davarian TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM TBA HUM  
  Enrollment limited to 22 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Also cross-referenced with EDUC Cross-listing: AMST-822-01
  Upon graduation you will be forever tied to Trinity College. Yet, during your time here, you have little opportunity to learn about higher education itself. This course will change that. While colleges and universities are often understood as "ivory towers," insulated from the "real world," institutions of higher education actually sit at the center of today's politics and economy. How did we get here? With a focus on Trinity, this class explores the impact of higher education on communities both on and off campus. Together we question whether higher education, in its current form, was inevitable. We also explore whether other paths are possible. Key themes include: land acknowledgments, academic freedom, the knowledge economy, sexual assault, student debt, academic labor, campus policing, and community engagement.
2667 AMST-335-01 Mapping American Masculinities 1.00 SEM Corber, Robert W: 1:30PM-4:10PM TBA HUM  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Also cross-referenced with ENGL Cross-listing: WMGS-335-01
  This course examines the construction of masculinity in American society starting with Theodore Roosevelt’s call at the turn of the twentieth century for men to revitalize the nation by pursuing the “strenuous life." Through close readings of literary and filmic texts, it considers why American manhood has so often been seen as in crisis. It pays particular attention to the formation of non-normative masculinities (African-American, female, and gay) in relation to entrenched racial, class, and sexual hierarchies, as well as the impact of the feminist, civil rights, and gay liberation movements on the shifting construction of male identity. In addition to critical essays, readings also include Tarzan of the Apes, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, The Great Gatsby, The Sun also Rises, Native Son, Another Country, and Kiss Me Deadly (Spillane). Film screenings include Kiss Me Deadly (Aldrich), Shaft, Magnum Force, Philadelphia, Brokeback Mountain, Cleopatra Jones, and Boys Don’t Cry.
2932 AMST-354-01 Black American Women's History 1.00 SEM Miller, Channon MW: 10:00AM-11:15AM TBA HUM  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: HIST-354-01
  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."

  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.
2883 AMST-418-01 Change of Clothes 1.00 SEM Miller, Karen R: 6:30PM-9:30PM TBA HUM

    Cross-listing: AMST-818-01
  North American clothing and textile practices have long engaged in global networks. Our course will chart clothing’s centrality in the formation of American social, political, and economic identities and structures. By focusing on moments of change and crisis, we will explore the fashioning of transnational citizenship. Our topics will include: clothing as protest, transformable garments as humanitarian aid, wearable technology, fast fashion and global economies, and the (de)coding of race, gender, sexuality, class, and nation in clothes. This course fulfills transnational methods
2899 AMST-432-01 Toni Morrison's BELOVED 1.00 SEM Paulin, Diana T: 6:30PM-9:00PM TBA HUM  
  Enrollment limited to 5 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: AMST-832-01, ENGL-832-01
  NOTE: Permission required for sophomores and first-years.
  This seminar interrogates the text and contexts of Toni Morrison's powerful and challenging novel, Beloved, bringing historical, theoretical, and cultural analysis to bear on a single work of fiction. We will consider how Morrison crafted a story about the horrors of slavery, as well as the value of excavating stories deemed unspeakable or illegible. This course surveys critical responses to Morrison's work and considers how contemporary theories of racial formation and embodied blackness inform the novel. We will also address the novel's representation of themes that speak to Black racial formations not only in the wake of slavery, but also in the context of contemporary topics such as migration, trauma and healing, neurodiversity, radical self-love, and Afro-environmentalism.
2458 AMST-463-01 US Empire Asia/PacificWars 1.00 SEM Nebolon, Juliet W: 1:30PM-4:10PM TBA GLB2  
  Enrollment limited to 12 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: AMST-863-01
  U.S. military involvement in Asia and the Pacific Islands has impacted the experiences of Asian and Pacific Islander communities and their diaspora since the late nineteenth century. In this seminar, students study the history of the Asia/Pacific wars and investigate the consequences of U.S. militarism, empire, and settler colonialism in Asia and the Pacific Islands via individual research projects. Together we will examine historical narratives, government documents, and cultural texts (films, literature, musicals) to understand how U.S. wars in the Asia/Pacific region have informed notions of race, indigeneity, gender, and empire both at home and abroad. The course brings together scholarship from the fields of American Studies, Asian American Studies, Pacific Indigenous Studies, and East Asian Studies.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This course examines humor, satire, and parody across a broad range of cultural and historical settings. Our approach is historical and ethnographic, and rests on the idea that there exist various and diverse traditions of humor, each deeply embedded in its own social and political context. We will be exploring the ways in which specific cultural, historical, and social contexts shape how humor is created, interpreted, and responded to. At the same time, we will look at how humor can travel outside of its intended context in surprising and often-contentious ways, being revived or reinterpreted in places spatially or temporally quite distant from its context of creation.
2692 ANTH-304-01 Material Religion 1.00 SEM Landry, Timothy W: 1:30PM-4:10PM TBA HUM  
  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: RELG-304-01
  This course explores the ways in which individuals from a variety of religious traditions experience religious belief, enact religious practice, and relate to the so-called “Divine” through material culture. Students will examine themes such as relics, clothing, bodies, blood, architecture, shrines, and charms. By reading ethnographic and theoretical texts, this course helps students to consider the role that material religion plays in enhancing or complicating prayer, ritual, and everyday religious piety.
2822 ANTH-319-01 Understandings of Puerto Rico 1.00 LEC Guzman, Amanda TR: 1:30PM-2:45PM TBA GLB5  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.

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.

  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?

  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.

  NOTE: For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing critical reflection.
  This course looks at the most fundamental, but also the most difficult, questions about literature: what is literature, exactly? How does literature help us understand the wider world, and what life-long skills does the reading of literature help us develop? Although these questions animate every English course, we all -- professors, students -- answer those questions differently. In this course multiple members of the English Department faculty will visit class and discuss how they approach questions about literature and interpretation. Expect disagreements, and be prepared, in a highly collaborative environment, to express your own strong views. Each year, our readings will be organized around a common theme, which each faculty participant will address. For English majors, this course satisfies the critical reflection requirement.

  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. (This course is a continuation of ENGL 104, but students are welcome to enroll without taking ENGL 104.)

  Over the last three hundred years, the modern world has undergone a series of cataclysmic transformations: the rise of empires, the French revolution, the industrial revolution, the struggles of colonized peoples, and of women, for equality and dignity, the disaster of two World Wars. English literature has been centrally involved in these earth-shattering events: literature is a chronicle of change, and can itself be revolutionary, instigating major change all on its own. In this course, which begins with the rise of modern England, and then looks at major authors of the Romantic, Victorian, Modern and contemporary periods, we will consider what makes English a central world literature.

  This creative nonfiction course considers social justice issues, including those tied to the Black Lives Matter Movement and the global pandemic. Through reading, writing, and discussions, we will ask: How can we courageously speak to the moment or reframe the past? How do we confront contemporary and historical injustices through acts of the imagination? What methods help us transform political and social matters into compelling and intimate stories? Can practicing writers embrace joy in the service of justice and healing? You will pursue your most pressing concerns and experiment with forms of writing from the personal essay to the open letter. The final assignment is a public-facing project that may involve teaching anthologies, public events, websites, manifestos, and podcasts.

  In this course, we will learn about the literary culture of the Civil War era (by reading Louisa May Alcott, Rebecca Harding Davis, Herman Melville, and Walt Whitman, among others) and also consider broader questions about how we read, value, and remember literary works. What makes a text "Civil War literature"? Must it have been written during the U.S. Civil War, or about events of that war, or by a person who participated in the war? And do we understand literature differently when we organize it around a historical event rather than forms, genres, or authors? We will engage with the most recent scholarship on the subject and converse (in person or via Skype) with some of the nation's leading experts on Civil War literature.

  Before it was New England, this was Native space. From the Wampanoags to the Mohegans, Narragansetts and Pequots, diverse Algonquian communities imbued their physical space with their own histories, traditions, and literatures. With the arrival of English settlers, Native Americans became active participants in a world deeply invested in writing and written traditions, and they marked their presence through English colonial written forms while maintaining a longstanding commitment to their own communities and lifeways. In this course we will explore the great variety of writing by and about Native Americans in this region: we will look at the long tradition of Native American literary presence in New England, from English language texts to other forms of cultural expression. The course is research intensive. Note: For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written between 1700-1900.

  This seminar interrogates the text and contexts of Toni Morrison's powerful and challenging novel, Beloved, bringing historical, theoretical, and cultural analysis to bear on a single work of fiction. We will consider how Morrison crafted a story about the horrors of slavery, as well as the value of excavating stories deemed unspeakable or illegible. This course surveys critical responses to Morrison's work and considers how contemporary theories of racial formation and embodied blackness inform the novel. We will also address the novel's representation of themes that speak to Black racial formations not only in the wake of slavery, but also in the context of contemporary topics such as migration, trauma and healing, neurodiversity, radical self-love, and Afro-environmentalism.

  Jane Austen is unique in the pantheon of British writers: her novels remain among the most studied and the most beloved by both popular and academic readers across the globe. Why? How does she bridge these very different audiences? In this course, we will answer these questions by reading her complete opus, plus critical and biographical studies of her life and fiction. Students will explore her unique style, her blend of romance and cultural criticism, of feminism and conventionality, and the divergent (sometimes vehement) interpretations of her ideas, beliefs and aims through class discussion and research. This course satisfies the requirement of a Research Seminar and an upper-level course covering literature from 1700-1900 for the English major.

  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.

  Coming of age in the ruins of Reconstruction, the encroachment of Jim Crow laws, and waves of great migration, African American writers of the early 20th century shaped American literature in powerful and often-forgotten ways. Their texts, published in the decades before the Harlem Renaissance, offer an opportunity to consider how people produce literature under the pressures of structural racism; how art might respond to the terrorism of state sanctioned violence; how genres might stretch to articulate the psychological complexities of social and self identities; and how writers appeal to audiences, construct communities, forge friendships, and speak truth to power, despite institutional ambivalence and resistance to their voices. Course readings will come from Charles Chesnutt, Pauline Hopkins, Alice Dunbar Nelson, WEB Du Bois and others. For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written post-1900.

  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 is a course in Early modern English drama and African-American literature. The plays and prose pieces produced during these disparate literary periods share many thematic-and some conventional-points of contact that are often overlooked and consequently not fully explored. Both early modern English and African-American authors addressed several critical issues such as miscegenation, power (political, parental, social), class, sexuality, lineage, death, identity, passing, homosexuality/homosociality and race. These common preoccupations will enable our productive crossing of various boundaries, most notably, the historical boundary between the texts. Authors will likely include W. E. B. Du Bois, Suzan-Lori Parks, William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, James Baldwin, Nella Larsen and Harriet Jacobs. Format: discussion; mini-lectures; in-class presentations; and writing assignments.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  In the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of people were “disappeared,” tortured and murdered in Latin America and the Caribbean, mostly by military regimes and by para-military death-squads. The period is often characterized as perhaps the lowest point in the modern abuse of “Human Rights” in the region. This course explores how these central notions, the human and rights, have evolved in theory and in practice in the history of the Americas. The course begins with the 16th-century debates among the Spaniards over the “humanity” of Indians and enslaved Africans; it then covers distinguishing elements of the human and rights within the legal structures of the nations created after independence from Spain in the 1820s and before the more contemporary conceptions of human rights in the aftermath of the Holocaust and the crimes against humanity during WWII. Finally, the modern conception and practice of human rights defense and legal monitoring are explored in case studies in the region from the late 1940s to the 1980s.

  This course explores the great variety of cities founded, claimed, and inhabited by Muslims from the beginnings of Islam to the present day. While there is no such thing as a prototypical "Islamic city," this course grapples with questions of change and continuity in the organization of urban life among Muslims globally. Through a combination of lectures and discussions, we will situate cities in their historical contexts, examine their built environments, and consider the ways in which exchange, mobility, empire, revolution, and globalization have shaped urban space.
2770 HIST-272-01 Pacific World 1.00 LEC Alejandrino, Clark MWF: 11:00AM-11:50AM TBA GLB2  
  Enrollment limited to 35 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.

  This course explores the formations and functions of violence in the United States from 1754 to 1900. It investigates government (federal, state, and local) and individuals-and the intersection of the government and the individual-regarding military bodies, access to weapons, and legal and extralegal violent activities. Using figures from the well-known (George Washington or Abraham Lincoln) to the lesser known (Hannah Dustan or Robert Smalls), the class questions the limits and boundaries of American violence according to race, class, and gender. In the end, students will debate whether violence belongs aside liberty, democracy, freedom, and equality in the pantheon of American political and cultural ideals.

  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.

  This seminar explores the history and global dissemination of the fantasy story collection known as the 1001 Nights. The recent success of movie adaptations of Aladdin is just one of the many waves of popularity that these stories have enjoyed over the centuries. We will begin with medieval story-telling and the circulation of the Nights in Arabic. We will then discuss its transformation into an international best-seller in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the context of British and French colonialism. Finally we will map its more recent reinventions in literature, film, and art across the globe. Key topics will include magic, gender, sexuality, race, empire, and orientalism. Students will undertake a final research project.

  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."

  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  The samurai were as important for Japan’s historical and cultural transformation as they are misunderstood. This course aims at separating the myth from the reality of the samurai by examining the history of Japanese warriors and the culture they created, from their lowly origins in antiquity through their rise to hegemony during the 13th through 18th centuries, to their eventual disappearance as a distinct class in the 19th century. We will also examine the evolving image of the samurai warrior and his supposedly rigid moral code of conduct, as it appears in literature and film, from some of the earliest appearances of such images right up to today. Our purpose in examining these images of the samurai is not only to distinguish myth from reality, but also to explore the political purposes such images have been put to in legitimating samurai rule prior to the 20th century, and in informing Japanese views of themselves and non-Japanese views of Japan in the years since.

  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 traces the valorization of reason, science, and progress that occurs in European literature from the 18th century into the modern era. Some questions that will guide our engagement will be: what understanding of the human does such a vaunting of reason imply? What happens to religion and faith in the 'Age of Reason' and the modern era it helped shape? How can competing ethical, moral, or truth claims be understood if there is, indeed, a common, rational framework of understanding? What is lost, perhaps, when reason, science and progress reign unchallenged? Texts will include works from JW Goethe, Mary Shelley, Dostoevsky, Thomas Mann, Woolf, Elie Wiesel, and others.

  Beginning with certain ancient Greek and Roman texts, the role of reason as a tool by which to rid the human mind of its epistemological prejudices, and its political bondage, will be explored. We will then examine certain texts from the pre-modern and modern periods in which the power of reason is hypertrophied. Then, we will turn to certain post-modern thinkers who call into question the power and legitimacy of reason.

Course materials, discussions, and assignments will provide an intersectional perspective on the interlocking nature of gender, race, class, nationality, sexuality, and other identity categories. The course will highlight specific legal cases of historical and contemporary importance in North America to explore the connections between gender, law, and empire. Students will learn about how oppression, expressions of agency, and transformation are made possible. Topics include historical and contemporary legal debates over the regulation of citizenship, indigeneity, land, violence against women, sexuality, reproduction, and gendered work. This course is taught at the York Correctional Institution in Niantic, CT. Only open to members of the York program.

  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.

  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.

  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".

  This course examines major works of Japanese crime literature and film from the works of Edogawa Rampo, known as the father of crime fiction in Japan, to those of contemporary writers to explore social and moral issues reflected in them. While Japanese writers and filmmakers of this genre readily acknowledge Western influences, the literary and cinematic explorations of crime in Japan have also developed ona trajectory of their own, producing works that are easily distinguishable from those of other cultures. The course will also consider the mixing of the crime genre with others, such as ghost and science fiction genres. Works studied in this course include those of Edogawa Rampo, Akira Kurosawa, Miyuki Miyabe, Seicho Matsumoto, and Kobo Abe, as well as yakuza movies. Readings and discussion in English.

  In the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of people were “disappeared,” tortured and murdered in Latin America and the Caribbean, mostly by military regimes and by para-military death-squads. The period is often characterized as perhaps the lowest point in the modern abuse of “Human Rights” in the region. This course explores how these central notions, the human and rights, have evolved in theory and in practice in the history of the Americas. The course begins with the 16th-century debates among the Spaniards over the “humanity” of Indians and enslaved Africans; it then covers distinguishing elements of the human and rights within the legal structures of the nations created after independence from Spain in the 1820s and before the more contemporary conceptions of human rights in the aftermath of the Holocaust and the crimes against humanity during WWII. Finally, the modern conception and practice of human rights defense and legal monitoring are explored in case studies in the region from the late 1940s to the 1980s.

  What is your understanding of passing? What is the relationship between passing and identity? Under what circumstances do people pass out of what considerations? This course explores these questions through reading and contextualizing feminist writer Susan Faludi's biography In the Darkroom (2016), following Faludi's inquiry into her father's life, from her sex reassignment surgery in Thailand at her seventies to his youth as a Jew in Hungary during WWII; from his sojourn in Brazil to his married life in the U.S during the Cold War era. We will be engaging with materials that include documentary films, podcasts, autobiographies, and academic texts across disciplines, to examine the diverse ways in which gender, sexuality, race, class, religion, and geopolitics intersect.

  This course aims to provide an extensive and in-depth understanding of China's prominent and powerful role in shaping a new and significant era of global urbanization. Having urbanized at the fastest pace, on the largest scale, and in the shortest time period in human history, China has been "building out" by constructing transport infrastructure, industrial zones, and municipal facilities in many countries. The course first assesses the Chinese mode of urban development focused on its beneficial and problematic social and spatial consequences. In the following segments, the course examines China's varied approach to and experience in city-building and infrastructure construction in Southeast Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe. The course concludes on the theoretical and policy implications of "China-fueled" global urbanization, especially for developing countries.

2908 INTS-359-01 Cannibalia 1.00 SEM Rolando, Giancarlo TBA TBA GLB  
  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  "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.

    Cross-listing: RELG-215-01
  The aim of this course is to introduce students to the foundational texts of Jewish feminism in the United States from the early 1970s through the present. By "Jewish feminism," I refer specifically to the movement by Jewish women to name and theorize injustice toward women in the Jewish tradition. This course will also address the wider historical developments that informed the intellectual trends, including Christian feminist influences. Students will emerge from the course with an appreciation of the vocabulary of Jewish feminism, its central questions, and its historic evolution. Attention will also be paid to LGBT Jewish ideas and activism and the extent to which they relate to, and are influenced by, Jewish feminist concerns.

    Cross-listing: RELG-224-01
  This course begins with a question: How would one characterize or define the tradition of American Jewish literature since 1865 – the period following the Civil War that also necessarily accounts for the first and second world wars, the polio and AIDS crises in America, U.S. responses to the Holocaust, and ongoing questions about how to balance assimilation with maintaining one’s ethnic identity in U.S. cities large and small. Through close reading of the works of eight canonical American Jewish writers (two poets, two short story writers, two dramatist, and two novelists), we will consider such questions as: What makes these works Jewish? What makes these works American? What makes these works literary?

    Cross-listing: RELG-308-01
  This class examines Jewish spiritual expression across the ages. Special attention will be paid to the relationship between Jewish mysticism and spiritual expression. The goal is not to be exhaustive but rather to engage with important themes and ideas, and to provide a foundation and the keys for further study. Questions we will consider include: How has Jewish spirituality evolved over time? How have historical developments and the wider culture in which Jews lived informed this evolution? How has modernity shaped Jewish spirituality? How have women historically related differently to Jewish spirituality than men? In what ways is Jewish spirituality as manifested in America continuous and discontinuous of its manifestations elsewhere? This course has no prerequisites, so don't worry if you have little or no prior knowledge of Judaism.

    Cross-listing: RELG-326-01
  Protestant reformers started American prisons as a benevolent alternative to torture. Christian morality still underlies American laws of repentance-even the name penitentiary comes from religion. Yet, in our era of mass incarceration, America incarcerates more people than any other country, disproportionately imprisoning people of color. This course conceives of incarceration broadly to ask: whom do we punish and why? Whom does the American state consider worth saving and how? And, what can religion nevertheless offer people who are incarcerated? Sources include a court case against evangelical reform programs, poetry from the Japanese American incarceration, and visionary fiction for prison abolition.

  How do politics shape the development of education policy-making at all levels of government in the United States? What roles do the public, interest groups, community groups, and elected officials play in the creation of education policy? These questions will guide this course as we examine the highly political environment of education policy and the simultaneously diffuse nature of power. We will begin by studying the history and federalist structure of education in the United States. We will then explore the influence of politics on some longstanding education policy debates. These issues will guide our inquiries as we turn to an exploration of the modern era and consider some of the major policy debates of today.

  Why are religion and race perennial issues in public schools when the U.S. Supreme Court declared school segregation and school prayer unconstitutional over half a century ago? And, how are religion and race connected in educational history? In this course, we explore these questions by studying court cases, policies, and grassroots campaigns on topics such as public school Bible-reading, book banning, and holiday celebrations. In doing so, we evaluate how the intersecting colonial histories of American religion, race, and education have made public schools key sites for the moral formation of American children, and therefore, of negotiating American identity.

  Enrollment limited to 29 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Early analytic philosophers were frustrated by philosophical disputes that they perceived as hopelessly obscure and unclear. They aimed to radically reshape philosophy by grounding it in science, logic, or ordinary language. We will aim to understand these attempts by thinking through the following questions. Are you ever justified in believing a philosophical claim that contradicts common sense? Is Sherlock Holmes "real"? Are numbers real? Where are they? What is truth? How should we evaluate claims - like those of math, logic, or ethics - that don't seem to depend on science for their truth? Are all philosophical disputes ultimately just linguistic disagreements? As we think through these questions, we will come to understand the driving forces that shaped analytic philosophy as we understand it today.

  The rapid development of neuroscience as a discipline has resurrected many longstanding philosophical problems and has raised new ones. In this course we will consider foundational issues within the neurosciences, the application of neuroscientific methods to traditional philosophical problems, and the special problems raised by psychiatry and its relationship to neuroscience. What, if anything, distinguishes explanation in neuroscience from explanation in other sciences? What is the relationship between neuroscience, psychology, and psychiatry? What can neuroscience tell us about the nature of consciousness? Do various neurological or psychiatric syndromes tell us anything about the nature of the self? Are psychiatric disorders "real", or are they cultural constructs? We will consider all of these questions and more.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  In this course, we will think critically about the meaning of academic decolonization and various strategies for reforming the philosophical canon with decolonial aims in view. Some of the questions that will guide us include: what does it mean to decolonize philosophy, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of remaining in dialogue with the Western canon? Does the philosophical tradition present openings to decolonial thought? What are the various decolonizing strategies, and what aims do they enact? The course then sets into action one such strategy, which involves re-reading the "canon" of European philosophical through the perspective of decolonial philosophies.

  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.

  Machiavelli is among the most famous-and misunderstood-political theorists. His very name has become synonymous with deceit and self-interest, but is this an accurate representation of his thought? Scholars have long debated whether Machiavelli should be considered a cunning "teacher of evil" or whether he was a committed defender of republican virtues. In this course we will read a broad selection of Machiavelli's works, including The Prince, Discourses on Livy, and Florentine Histories. We will also engage with how Machiavelli has been interpreted and appropriated by various traditions within political theory, such as republicanism, radical democracy, and Marxism.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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 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.
2695 POLS-319-01 Foucault 1.00 SEM Terwiel, Anna MW: 1:30PM-2:45PM TBA SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.

2934 POLS-327-01 International Law 1.00 SEM Hamidi, Sidra TR: 1:30PM-2:45PM TBA SOC  
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  What is the impact of international law on international politics? Can the law constrain state behavior? Starting from the landmark Lotusprinciple, which established that sovereign states are allowed to conduct any behavior that is not explicitly prohibited by international law, to the contemporary legal challenges surrounding war crimes and genocide, this course explores how the international legal system works. We will begin with a foundational discussion of treaties and customary international law along with jurisdiction and compliance issues and then cover two arbiters of international law: the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court. We will then move to specific legal regimes that govern warmaking, nuclear weapons, the oceans, the environment, trade, and human rights.

2729 POLS-341-01 Policing and Human Rights 1.00 LEC Flom, Hernan MW: 10:00AM-11:15AM 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.

  This course is only open to sophomores and juniors.
  NOTE: Strongly recommended to take course POLS 376 prior to taking this course.
  This course focuses on the major concepts which have shaped dominant understandings of race in Latin America throughout the 20th century: mestizaje, the interpretation of Latin American racial identity as one of mixture; indigenismo, the emphasis on indigeneity as constitutive of racial identity in Latin America; and racial democracy, the argument that higher rates of miscegenation in Latin America (particularly Brazil) reflected a history of harmonious race relations. In addition to these three concepts, we will survey current issues related to race in the region such as the production of new sets of rights for Indigenous peoples and movements for the recognition of Afro-Latin American peoples.

  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.

    Cross-listing: HRST-369-01
  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.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  This course examines the perspectives, problems, and disagreements that occupied Athenian democracy as it changed from the 6th to 4th centuries BCE. Doing so, this course proposes that current-day students of politics benefit from critically reassessing questions examined by ancient Athenian thinkers. These include the following: how do we distinguish public and private life? What makes a community powerful? What is the place of discord in political life? What is the nature of justice, and what is its relationship to democracy? Interrogating these questions, we focus on close readings of Sophocles, Thucydides, Plato, and Aristotle in conversation with contemporary commentaries.

  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.

We study each group and their roles as voters, party activists, candidates and public officials. By exploring the socio-historical context within which each group acts, we will also consider the non-traditional forms of political participation embraced by some of these groups and the reasons that minority groups have resorted to such strategies. The process of political socialization will also be considered, as will the political behavior, attitudes, and public policy opinions of these groups. Finally, we will also explore theories of racial and ethnic political coalitions and conflict.

It is the taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thought.” And while James’ conception of attention resonates with a colloquial understanding of the term that’s still in use today, empirical treatment of attention in the psychological and neuroscientific literature suggests that consensus on what attention is and what attention does has not yet been reached. Using primary sources, scholarly reviews, and popular science pieces, we will work toward a more nuanced understanding of what attention is and delve deeply into what it means to selectively focus the mind in a world full of distraction.

  For centuries philosophers and scientists have been fascinated by people's ability to make moral judgments. This course will examine psychological processes that shape humans' moral judgments and decision-making. We will integrate research from social, political, cognitive and developmental psychology, as well as neuroscience, sociology and philosophy. In this class we will attempt to address questions like: What motivates us to be moral? Why do we sometimes fail to act morally? Under what conditions are we morally responsible for our actions? Do emotions help or hinder us from acting morally? Some topics include character, taboos, moral reasoning, the attribution of moral responsibility, social dilemmas, lying, cheating and altruism. We will also discuss morality as it relates to religion, politics, intergroup conflict, health, and the legal system.

  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.

    Cross-listing: JWST-215-01
  The aim of this course is to introduce students to the foundational texts of Jewish feminism in the United States from the early 1970s through the present. By "Jewish feminism," I refer specifically to the movement by Jewish women to name and theorize injustice toward women in the Jewish tradition. This course will also address the wider historical developments that informed the intellectual trends, including Christian feminist influences. Students will emerge from the course with an appreciation of the vocabulary of Jewish feminism, its central questions, and its historic evolution. Attention will also be paid to LGBT Jewish ideas and activism and the extent to which they relate to, and are influenced by, Jewish feminist concerns.

  Enrollment limited to 35 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
    Cross-listing: JWST-223-01
  This course begins with a question: How would one characterize or define the tradition of American Jewish literature since 1865 – the period following the Civil War that also necessarily accounts for the first and second world wars, the polio and AIDS crises in America, U.S. responses to the Holocaust, and ongoing questions about how to balance assimilation with maintaining one’s ethnic identity in U.S. cities large and small. Through close reading of the works of eight canonical American Jewish writers (two poets, two short story writers, two dramatist, and two novelists), we will consider such questions as: What makes these works Jewish? What makes these works American? What makes these works literary?

    Cross-listing: JWST-308-01
  This class examines Jewish spiritual expression across the ages. Special attention will be paid to the relationship between Jewish mysticism and spiritual expression. The goal is not to be exhaustive but rather to engage with important themes and ideas, and to provide a foundation and the keys for further study. Questions we will consider include: How has Jewish spirituality evolved over time? How have historical developments and the wider culture in which Jews lived informed this evolution? How has modernity shaped Jewish spirituality? How have women historically related differently to Jewish spirituality than men? In what ways is Jewish spirituality as manifested in America continuous and discontinuous of its manifestations elsewhere? This course has no prerequisites, so don't worry if you have little or no prior knowledge of Judaism.

  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.

  Protestant reformers started American prisons as a benevolent alternative to torture. Christian morality still underlies American laws of repentance-even the name penitentiary comes from religion. Yet, in our era of mass incarceration, America incarcerates more people than any other country, disproportionately imprisoning people of color. This course conceives of incarceration broadly to ask: whom do we punish and why? Whom does the American state consider worth saving and how? And, what can religion nevertheless offer people who are incarcerated? Sources include a court case against evangelical reform programs, poetry from the Japanese American incarceration, and visionary fiction for prison abolition.

  Why are religion and race perennial issues in public schools when the U.S. Supreme Court declared school segregation and school prayer unconstitutional over half a century ago? And, how are religion and race connected in educational history? In this course, we explore these questions by studying court cases, policies, and grassroots campaigns on topics such as public school Bible-reading, book banning, and holiday celebrations. In doing so, we evaluate how the intersecting colonial histories of American religion, race, and education have made public schools key sites for the moral formation of American children, and therefore, of negotiating American identity.

  Why is our mental health system so fragmented? Are prisons the new carceral asylums? What might a people's psychology look like? Sociologists counter the medical model by examining mental health institutions through structural relations and also understand the concept of mental illness as culture-bound. From state-run asylums, community-based care, and the post-deinstitutionalization era, this course traces shifts in our mental health policies. In particular, this course addresses how power interacts with institutions, mental health policy, the logics of the criminal legal system, and medical debates and expertise which medicalize and control people, especially those marginalized by anti-blackness and ableism.

  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Prerequisite: C- or better in Sociology 101
  European colonialism caused catastrophic societal transformations in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and activists have identified U.S. settler colonialism as an ongoing structure that continues to dispossess Indigenous nations of their land and sovereignty. In this course we will explore the origins of colonialism and its relationship to capitalism, the social changes brought about by colonialism, colonialism's enduring impact of social life, as well as anti-colonial thought and action from the 20th century to the present. We will also take a critical look at sociology's relationship to colonialism and the current movement towards a "post-" or "de-colonial" sociology.

  Enrollment limited to 15 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Prerequisite: C- or better in Sociology 101
  This course is designed to explore various efforts to reconcile ideals of equality with persistent and perpetual forms of racial oppression. By examining the history and culture of the U.S. and other democratic societies, this course analyzes the central paradox that emerges when societies maintain racial inequality but articulate principles of equality, freedom, and justice for all. Hence we will examine the differences between what people say and what they actually do, and how congruencies and incongruencies between the structure of institutions and culture force one to distinguish myth from reality. This is done so that students can better understand how the structure and process of politics govern the everyday lives of oppressed racial groups in capitalist democracies.

  This course examines the construction of masculinity in American society starting with Theodore Roosevelt’s call at the turn of the twentieth century for men to revitalize the nation by pursuing the “strenuous life." Through close readings of literary and filmic texts, it considers why American manhood has so often been seen as in crisis. It pays particular attention to the formation of non-normative masculinities (African-American, female, and gay) in relation to entrenched racial, class, and sexual hierarchies, as well as the impact of the feminist, civil rights, and gay liberation movements on the shifting construction of male identity. In addition to critical essays, readings also include Tarzan of the Apes, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, The Great Gatsby, The Sun also Rises, Native Son, Another Country, and Kiss Me Deadly (Spillane).

  Enrollment limited to 25 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  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.

  Prerequisite: C- or better in Art History 102.
  This course will explore the complex relationships between art, architecture, politics, and theater in seventeenth-century Europe. During this period, Europe's civil, religious, and economic upheavals provoked increasingly elaborate and inflexible ideologies among its secular and religious rulers, yet the art and architecture of this period is among the most innovative and varied in Western culture. By combining politics and art, baroque festivals explored--and frequently altered--the seemingly opposed conventions of each. Students are encouraged to pursue class presentations and final projects that address a similarly broad range of related themes.

By putting excerpts of novels, memoirs, films, and other media in conversation with the popular press, this course will encourage students to reflect upon contemporary social issues between France and North Africa from the 1960s to the present. As we learn about race, religion, colonization, and immigration, a particular emphasis will be placed upon how issues of sex and gender impact cultural and literary representations. Topics may include the headscarf debates, family structure, and sexuality. Possible authors and filmmakers may include Leïla Sebbar, Abdellah Taïa, Nina Bouraoui, Farid Boudjellal, and Abdellatif Kechiche. Course conducted in French.

  For centuries fairytales have served as powerful cultural currency, transmitting ideas about morality, gender, identity, nationalism, and childhood. Running the risk that it will ruin fairytales by vivisection, this course will approach the genre of German-language fairytales from a critical perspective, taking into account their historical context, psychological and philosophical interpretations, and how certain fairytales have changed over time into their contemporary iterations. Special attention will be paid to the fairytales collected by the Brothers Grimm, while also exploring their intersections with fairytales in other cultural and historical contexts. The goal of this course is for students to explore texts with whose content they may be familiar, in order to then gain a deeper understanding of their cultural, historical, and psychological dimensions.

  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Prerequisite: Japanese 101 and 102
  This course offers a guide to the Japanese script system (kana and kanji) for intermediate-level students and beyond. We will mainly focus on kanji and consider their history, orthography, and analysis, but students will also consider kanji-learning strategies and commit to learning a particular set of kanji over the course of the semester. In a few classes we will study chirography and calligraphy by practicing them. Students are expected to review kanji they have learned while learning new kanji. The course work includes reading articles about Japanese aesthetics and calligraphy. The course is thus intended to support and supplement Intermediate and Advanced Japanese classes. As a supplementary course, this course does not fulfill any Japanese major or minor requirements. This course is repeatable for credit.

    Cross-listing: LACS-230-01
  This course examines how Japanese manga was formed and developed from ukiyo-e paintings while receiving and giving influences from/to various art forms in foreign countries. Starting with the Japanese old scrolls and ukiyo-e paintings in the Edo period, students will learn about important Japanese ukiyo-e and manga artists and their works. Students are required to think about how manga, as a subcultural form, responds to the "mainstream" society of Japan and elsewhere and what messages they send to the reading public. While learning the history of manga, students will also analyze specific aspects of some Japanese manga works. Course work includes short responses, small quizzes, final projects, and occasional practice of drawing manga characters.

  This course examines major works of Japanese crime literature and film from the works of Edogawa Rampo, known as the father of crime fiction in Japan, to those of contemporary writers to explore social and moral issues reflected in them. While Japanese writers and filmmakers of this genre readily acknowledge Western influences, the literary and cinematic explorations of crime in Japan have also developed ona trajectory of their own, producing works that are easily distinguishable from those of other cultures. The course will also consider the mixing of the crime genre with others, such as ghost and science fiction genres. Works studied in this course include those of Edogawa Rampo, Akira Kurosawa, Miyuki Miyabe, Seicho Matsumoto, and Kobo Abe, as well as yakuza movies. Readings and discussion in English.

  For centuries fairytales have served as powerful cultural currency, transmitting ideas about morality, gender, identity, nationalism, and childhood. Running the risk that it will ruin fairytales by vivisection, this course will approach the genre of German-language fairytales from a critical perspective, taking into account their historical context, psychological and philosophical interpretations, and how certain fairytales have changed over time into their contemporary iterations. Special attention will be paid to the fairytales collected by the Brothers Grimm, while also exploring their intersections with fairytales in other cultural and historical contexts. The goal of this course is for students to explore texts with whose content they may be familiar, in order to then gain a deeper understanding of their cultural, historical, and psychological dimensions.

We will supplement these readings with opinion pieces from the current press on issues of ethnic, racial, religious, and gender identity. Students will consider their own experience of how they "fit" into various social configurations, including family, clubs, and the larger American society. This course seeks to equip students with tools to explore their selves, achieve personal growth and self-knowledge, and better understand and take charge of their interaction with social and political forces.

  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 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.

  How many identities do you have? To what extent do you create your own identity? To what extent is identity imposed on you? This course draws upon four disciplines to explore personal identity, group dynamics, and systemic power structures. Our core readings will come from philosophy, psychology, literature, and biblical studies. We will supplement these readings with opinion pieces from the current press on issues of ethnic, racial, religious, and gender identity. Students will consider their own experience of how they "fit" into various social configurations, including family, clubs, and the larger American society. This course seeks to equip students with tools to explore their selves, achieve personal growth and self-knowledge, and better understand and take charge of their interaction with social and political forces.

  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.

  Enrollment limited to 12 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Drawing has long been held to be the direct expression of an idea that originates in the mind of the artist. In this class, each student will seek to develop their own individual expression of a private inner reality. We will explore drawing both as invention - the first idea and intellectual scheme of a work - and as graphic disclosure. Students will be led to mine memory, both personal and collective; to employ reason, in the form of measurement and descriptive geometry; and, through exploration and play, to exercise imagination as a means of reconciling what might be perceived as competing qualities. Students will be asked to pursue the ineffable, as well as to explore the most concrete qualities of the surrounding world.
