We live in interesting times. This course invites you to explore an interesting moment either in the past or present in your home town (or wherever you are currently), and create a document that explores it from a local perspective. Using interviews, local newspapers and other available materials, you'll be constructing the story, rather than simply reporting it. The course will move you through each stage of the process, with the end product intended (if possible) to be a public, online document others can learn from. |

Through readings in various genres (fiction, essays, drama, poetry, memoir, etc.), this course examines how black women's literary production is informed by the experiences, conditions, identities, and histories of women of African descent in the U.S., including some who were born or have lived outside of the U.S. Among the recurring themes/issues we will discuss are the impact of class, gender, race, sexuality, ability, and geographical location on black women's writings, artistic visions, the politics and dynamics of black women's roles in families, communities, the nation, and across the globe. Writers vary each semester but may include: Maya Angelou, Octavia Butler, Roxanne Gay, Lorraine Hansberry, bell hooks, Nella Larsen, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison, Z.Z. Packer, Suzan-Lori Parks, Ann Petry, Tracy K. Smith, and Alice Walker. |

Using texts and films, this course will explore the nature of women’s lives in both the contemporary United States and a number of radically different societies around the world, including, for example, the !Kung San people of the Kalahari and the Mundurucù of Amazonian Brazil. As they examine the place of women in these societies, students will also be introduced to theoretical perspectives that help explain both variations in women’s status from society to society and "universal" aspects of their status. |

This course focuses on those religious traditions known collectively as “Voodoo.” By examining powerful displays of spirit possession, rituals in which the ancestors raise from their graves to dance, and secretive ceremonies from which social criminals become walking zombies, students will explore the lived experiences of Voodoo practitioners from around the world. We will juxtapose Western imaginations and fantasies of Voodoo to the real-lived experiences of practitioners. In so doing, students will learn how, despite racial stereotyping and anti-Africa sentiments around the globe, Voodoo has become one of the world’s fastest growing global religions. Along with rich ethnographic texts, throughout the course students will engage with critical-race theory, theories of globalization, transnationalism, diaspora, and urban religious expansion. |

Increasing use of computers in business, government, recreation, and almost all aspects of daily life has led to a proliferation of sensitive data that is collected, stored, and used by today's ubiquitous information systems. Consequently, concern about the ownership, control, privacy, and accuracy of these data has become a top priority. This course will explore the powers and the limitations of the existing privacy-enhancing technologies with a focus on the technical challenges of handling sensitive information as well as the corresponding legal, social, economic, and policy issues. Special attention will be paid to the recent advances and new perspectives on research in privacy technologies. |

With the rise of the internet, social media, and technology, there has been a shift in the availability and the power of data. Economists now have access to "big data" that can play a role in increasing economic activity and living standards. Examples include the development of new goods and services and faster innovation through a shorter research and development cycle, as a result of more and better data. Other benefits could affect our quality of life: fewer traffic jams and easier price comparisons. This course explores both the ways that "big data" has changed our understanding of the economy as well as the ethical issues related to the collection and use of these data. |

This course explores the problems that have faced macroeconomics specifically since the 2007-08 financial crisis. Some economists reacted to that crisis by calling for a complete overhaul of the discipline, while others were satisfied with more cosmetic changes. For this course we will use the book Evolution or Revolution? Rethinking Macroeconomic Policy after the Great Recession (Blanchard and Summers) as a baseline for analyzing in great depth how macroeconomic thinking and practice has changed over the past decade. This will include an analysis of how policy makers reacted to the crisis and how that in turn has impacted macroeconomic research. |

What was slavery's role in the development and evolution of our economy? We will explore how the system of slavery was central to the development of our own financial system, to our participation in the 19th century global economy, to the accumulation of enormous wealth in both the southern and the northern states and finally, how this history continues to play an important role in our modern day economy by examining the new scholarship on American economic development, primary materials from museums, libraries and newspaper archives, and first-person accounts. |

How have advanced economies, such as the U.S., Germany and Australia, responded to the economic shocks created by the coronavirus? Have some national policies proven to be more successful than others, and if so, why? The many "real-time" experiments in policy design and execution have sparked lively debates. For example, would consumer demand be better maintained by boosting workers' unemployment payments, or would paying businesses directly to maintain their payrolls be the best way to go? What happens when the Fed expands its loan policies to include not only banks, but also corporations, small businesses, and local government? This seminar will explore these questions and consider the pros and cons of macroeconomic policies engineered by Congress, the executive branch, and other governments around the world. |

For centuries, fairy tales have brought comfort, connection, and solace. At once magical and escapist, they offer avenues for self-reflection and practical lessons in managing life's challenges. This course examines both fairy tales and the scholarship devoted to understanding the genre. We will read tales written hundreds of years ago, from all over the world, together with contemporary rewritings, revisions, and repurposings in film, fiction, and poetry. We will read scholarly works that, using a range of critical methodologies, seek to identify what fairy tales offer and how they are structured. And we will work to produce both analytical essays and a creative intervention in the tradition: students will have the opportunity, at the end of the course, to write their own fairy tale. |

The Romantic era accounts for little over forty years of British literary history (roughly 1789-1832). Yet in spite of its short duration, it has had an out-sized effect on conceptions of what makes good and important literature. This course explores the distinctive genres, contentious relationships, and political obsessions of the Romantic period. From newly self-interrogating poetry to the rise of the Gothic novel, from the fight to end slavery to battles over the place of women and the poor, Romantic-era writers fanned the flames of change. We will explore what parts of their aesthetic and political legacy we want to embrace, and what parts we want to remember but rebuff. Authors include Jane Austen, Olaudah Equiano, Mary Prince, Mary Shelley, and William Wordsworth, among others. |

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. |

This course is designed to teach senior English majors concentrating in Creative Writing the techniques to successfully undertake a semester-long creative project in the genre of their choice. It is intended to help the students develop the habits-of-arts required to write such theses and to provide a forum for feedback during the early stages of composition. In this course we will address issues of drafting and revision, developing a booklist, the use of research in creative work, and, finally, establishing structural and thematic coherence in a novel excerpt, poetry collection, suite of stories, one-act play, and/or screenplay. This course is required of all senior English majors who are planning to write one-semester, creative writing theses. |

The Godfather and The Godfather Part II films are narrative masterpieces that provide many insights into the interplay of character and culture in decision-making in high-stakes situations outside the law. We will interpret the films as illustrations of strategic interaction in stylized mafia settings. We will focus on the psychology of motivations: rationality, interest, emotion, justice, and the mafia’s code of honor (vendetta, omertà, and gender norms). And we will discuss narrative techniques and the relationship between art and life (fiction and reality). |

We live in interesting times. This course invites you to explore an interesting moment either in the past or present in your home town (or wherever you are currently), and create a document that explores it from a local perspective. Using interviews, local newspapers and other available materials, you'll be constructing the story, rather than simply reporting it. The course will move you through each stage of the process, with the end product intended (if possible) to be a public, online document others can learn from. |

This course attempts to guide students to think about how the existence of people of African descent is determined by the particularities involved in the process of enslavement, immigration, and in the construction of racial thought globally, which directly affects the formation of black identity and the black population’s tools of resistance. It additionally promotes a series of debates that will approach themes such as the participation of people of African descent in the construction of societies, demythologizing racist theories, and understanding aspects of these dynamics that make contemporary discussions around race peculiar. Also, the course intends to prepare students to denude the concepts they have about the diasporic process in the United States and understand processes that differ from it in several ways. |

This course uses the city and polity of Zanzibar as a model and laboratory for understanding the architectural history, geography and planning of Swahili Coast urbanism in East Africa. For more than a thousand years, cities along the East African coastal strip have been major entrepôts linking the African interior with trade networks across the Indian Ocean and beyond. Zanzibar was at the center of this urban region economically and politically especially in the 18thand 19th centuries. After gaining independence in 1963, Zanzibar experienced a socialist revolution and union with Tanganyika during a brief stretch in early 1964, after which it became a partner state in the United Republic of Tanzania. After a period of stasis and even decline, the city's population exploded after 1964. From a town of less than 50,000 people, it has grown to a metropolitan area of more than a half million in just over 55 years. Zanzibar's society and culture are heavily cosmopolitan. Over 90% of the population is Muslim and African-Swahili in ethnic terms, yet the influences (and minority cultures) of Christians, Hindus, Arabs, South Asians, and others abound. This is especially the case in the city's architecture and built environment. All of this makes Zanzibar a spectacular context in which to explore the challenges of balancing historic preservation and urban development in architecture and urban planning. This online course will enable students to investigate Zanzibar's historic importance, architectural significance, and contemporary urban planning and urban environmental challenges. Students will have readings, lectures and virtual visits and case analyses to/for specific important sites and urban planning projects. |

For centuries, scientists have explored how we learn, memorize, and forget items and for the last several decades have tried to determine where in the brain memories are encoded and stored. Recent developments in neuroscience are helping us understand how we learn, remember, forget, and relearn, including the structures, chemicals, and networks in the brain that are involved in these processes. Through enjoyable readings, discussions, guest lectures, films, and demonstrations, we will explore the foundations of this field, as well as recent discoveries and common misconceptions about it. The overall objective of this course is to provide students with a basic understanding of the neuroscience of learning and memory, enabling them to separate scientific fact from fiction in popular media and beyond. |

Neurolaw is an emerging field that investigates the application of neuroscience principles and technologies to the legal context. Relying on an evolutionary framework for understanding functional neuroanatomy, this course begins with a detailed overview of how the brain works. It then explores basic scientific findings in affective and cognitive neuroscience and their relevance for substantive laws and procedural rules. In the process, students will learn about the structure of the American legal system and growing opportunities therein for the integration of neuroscientific evidence. Special attention will be paid to the role of structural inequalities and early adverse experiences on brain development, and the use of neuroscience in juvenile justice and in death penalty litigation. |

This course uses the city and polity of Zanzibar as a model and laboratory for understanding the architectural history, geography and planning of Swahili Coast urbanism in East Africa. For more than a thousand years, cities along the East African coastal strip have been major entrepôts linking the African interior with trade networks across the Indian Ocean and beyond. Zanzibar was at the center of this urban region economically and politically especially in the 18thand 19th centuries. After gaining independence in 1963, Zanzibar experienced a socialist revolution and union with Tanganyika during a brief stretch in early 1964, after which it became a partner state in the United Republic of Tanzania. After a period of stasis and even decline, the city's population exploded after 1964. From a town of less than 50,000 people, it has grown to a metropolitan area of more than a half million in just over 55 years. Zanzibar's society and culture are heavily cosmopolitan. Over 90% of the population is Muslim and African-Swahili in ethnic terms, yet the influences (and minority cultures) of Christians, Hindus, Arabs, South Asians, and others abound. This is especially the case in the city's architecture and built environment. All of this makes Zanzibar a spectacular context in which to explore the challenges of balancing historic preservation and urban development in architecture and urban planning. This online course will enable students to investigate Zanzibar's historic importance, architectural significance, and contemporary urban planning and urban environmental challenges. Students will have readings, lectures and virtual visits and case analyses to/for specific important sites and urban planning projects. |

This course utilizes economic reasoning to examine both the proper scope of public policy and the impact of policy decisions. Through economic analysis we will explore how market systems can be used to achieve policy goals and determine most effective government interventions when market failures occur. We examine the effects of policy alternatives including equity, efficiency, and effectiveness on a variety of policy areas such as taxation, education, social insurance, government debt, and healthcare. |

How do the institutions of American national government shape our politics and policies? This introductory course examines the nation’s founding documents (including the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Federalist Papers), the goals they sought to achieve, and the institutional framework they established (including Congress, the Presidency, and the courts). It then evaluates the extent to which these institutions achieve their intended aims of representing interests and producing public goods, taking into account the role of parties, interests groups, and the media. Throughout the course, we will attend to the relevance of race, class, religion, and gender. We will draw on the example of the 2012 presidential election and other current events to illustrate the functioning of American government and politics. |

This course offers a thematic introduction to international relations by way of a series of feature films. We combine a definitional study of concepts like anarchy, state power, norms, and institutions with a broader analysis of core issues in international politics, including the problems of war and peace, crisis decision-making, revolution, nationalist conflict, sectarianism, human rights, and globalization. To bring these concepts and issues to life and provide empirical focus, we discuss their treatment in classic and contemporary international films by Lean, Kubrick, Pontecorvo, Tamahori, Caro, Kassovitz, Weir, Villeneuve, Spielberg, Greengrass, Meirelles, and Iñárritu. |

We will begin with an examination of the role of women and men in fighting for and against women's suffrage and the subsequent movement to achieve gender equality. We will consider the many ways men's inclusion and women's exclusion from our political system continues to shape contemporary politics and the distribution of power in American society. We will then examine a series of important questions such as: Why are women less likely than men to run for political office? Is America ready for a woman president? Once in office, do male and female politicians govern differently? The last third of the course examines a series of policy areas with respect to gender. |

This course will examine the cognitive processes that make up executive functioning, which enables us to plan, focus, remember, and multi-task. We will discuss the physiology and brain functioning that is required in the use of these skills, as well as the development of these skills throughout childhood and adolescence. There are three specific processes that make up executive functioning, which include working memory, mental/cognitive flexibility, and self-regulation/inhibitory control, that will be examined throughout the course in depth. We will examine specific tasks used to measure each of these processes and discuss the relationships between these cognitive skills to other areas, such as learning, achievement, substance use, and clinical diagnoses. |

Psychoactive substances like LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin exert strong effects on the central nervous system, inducing altered states of conscious experience. In this seminar, we will explore psychedelics from a number of different psychological perspectives. We will examine their mechanisms of action in the brain, probe the resultant impact on perception and cognition, assess the social impact of psychedelics, and discuss their use at different developmental stages of the human lifespan. We will also pay particular attention to a renewed clinical interest in using psychedelics to treat psychological disorders. In addition to writings, podcasts, and multimedia created for a general audience, course content will be heavily drawn from the relevant neuroscience and psychological literatures. |

This course will examine how we construct a sense of self as a social being. We will integrate research from various areas of psychology to address the following questions (among others): How did you, as a baby, learn that you were separate from your mother? Who is in charge of your actions and how do we figure that out? To what extent are you shaped by your circumstances and the way others view you? What happens when there is a breakdown of boundaries between the self and others, and what does this tell us about conditions such as autism and psychopathy? |

This course focuses on those religious traditions known collectively as “Voodoo.” By examining powerful displays of spirit possession, rituals in which the ancestors raise from their graves to dance, and secretive ceremonies from which social criminals become walking zombies, students will explore the lived experiences of Voodoo practitioners from around the world. We will juxtapose Western imaginations and fantasies of Voodoo to the real-lived experiences of practitioners. In so doing, students will learn how, despite racial stereotyping and anti-Africa sentiments around the globe, Voodoo has become one of the world’s fastest growing global religions. Along with rich ethnographic texts, throughout the course students will engage with critical-race theory, theories of globalization, transnationalism, diaspora, and urban religious expansion. |

Race and religion shape the identity of the individual and its surrounding society. But how do they do that? How do race and religion intersect? What role have they played in shaping our politics, cultures, and values? Do race and religion still matter today? This course looks at the ways race and religion have impacted the U.S. Among the many topics we will cover are the founding fathers' understanding of religious freedom and its race-related limits; the role religion played in justifying and objecting to slavery; the emergence of black religious movements; the Civil Rights Movement; and liberation theologies. Students who have taken FYSM 187 may not receive credit for this course. |

Sex and gender are used as principles of social organization in all known societies. This course surveys research in the sociological study of gender with the goal of providing students with a theoretical grounding for analyzing gender from a sociological perspective. We will explore how our lives and the world around us are shaped by gender and how gender has been constructed over time. We will further examine how sociological research on gender helps us to understand power and inequality at various levels – institutional, organizational, and interactional—by examining various topics such as gender socialization, reproduction, education, work, and violence. We will also pay attention to how gender reinforces and builds upon other areas of inequality such as social class, race, ethnicity, and age. |

This course broadly addresses women’s low status and power worldwide. Topics include issues such as son preference, gendered violence, maternal health and reproductive rights, sexual rights, work and household labor, globalization, politics, human rights, and women’s global activism. Utilizing a transnational sociological feminist perspective, students learn how gender inequality intersects with not only culture but also nationalism, racism, and economic injustice in various countries and regions of the world (Southeast Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South America). At several key points, students engage in critical comparison between examples of gender oppression and exploitation observed in both the United States and other societies (i.e., gendered violence), which reveal a false binary in the discourse of progress often drawn between “us” and “them.” |

This online course offers a hands-on investigation of creative filmmaking in the spaces we inhabit. Taking the Wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities, as a point of departure and embracing a relatively low-tech approach to examining compositional tools and strategies, each student will conceive and develop a series of personalized short videos focusing on playful and dynamic involvement of the body, objects, setting, and the eye of the camera. Physical explorations, readings, video viewings, online discussion forums, and other assignments augment how we interrogate the nature of interaction and creative process toward reimagining the ways we frame motion. The course culminates in a mini online festival showcasing student work. No prerequisite and open to all, regardless of experience. |

We will examine the emergence and evolution of urban political activism by Latinas and Latinos in the United States from the early 1900s to the present. We will begin with the impact of U.S. imperial expansion and colonialism (1848-present), and then track the emergence of Pan-Latinx identities and political coalitions between Latinx, African Americans, and other ethnic groups. Topics include urban political manifestations of the following: civil rights movements, labor and student movements, struggles for gender and sexual liberation, immigration policies, citizenship, voting rights, electoral representation, cultural citizenship, urban renewal, gentrification, and "the right to the city." |

This course uses the city and polity of Zanzibar as a model and laboratory for understanding the architectural history, geography and planning of Swahili Coast urbanism in East Africa. For more than a thousand years, cities along the East African coastal strip have been major entrepôts linking the African interior with trade networks across the Indian Ocean and beyond. Zanzibar was at the center of this urban region economically and politically especially in the 18thand 19th centuries. After gaining independence in 1963, Zanzibar experienced a socialist revolution and union with Tanganyika during a brief stretch in early 1964, after which it became a partner state in the United Republic of Tanzania. After a period of stasis and even decline, the city's population exploded after 1964. From a town of less than 50,000 people, it has grown to a metropolitan area of more than a half million in just over 55 years. Zanzibar's society and culture are heavily cosmopolitan. Over 90% of the population is Muslim and African-Swahili in ethnic terms, yet the influences (and minority cultures) of Christians, Hindus, Arabs, South Asians, and others abound. This is especially the case in the city's architecture and built environment. All of this makes Zanzibar a spectacular context in which to explore the challenges of balancing historic preservation and urban development in architecture and urban planning. This online course will enable students to investigate Zanzibar's historic importance, architectural significance, and contemporary urban planning and urban environmental challenges. Students will have readings, lectures and virtual visits and case analyses to/for specific important sites and urban planning projects. |

Examine the roots of modern beauty standards by digging into the history of the “classical ideal”, down to its origins in Greek and Roman representations of the human body. Social status and beauty seem always to have been correlated; how are nudity and clothing, the athletic ideal, gender and sexuality, and racialized ideals of beauty implicated in portrayals of the bodies of social actors and symbolic bodies? Even character and emotion were portrayed as physically embodied. We’ll analyze classical sculpture, painting, and other arts, supported by readings from studies in the history of art, critical approaches to conceptions of the human form, ancient medical texts, and Greek and Roman poetry. |

Is there a difference between a tour and a journey? Or between a hike and a pilgrimage? Many people believe so, and that the difference lies in the traveler’s openness to internal transformations. Spain has long been a land of travelers that, in more recent times, has also become a magnet for visitors from around world. Why has it inspired so many people go “on the move”? In this class, we will explore this rich history of comings and goings, and the ways filmmakers and writers have portrayed the mysteries of travel over time, with an eye toward helping our internal sojourner challenge the often facile “truths” of its neighbor the tourist. Taught in English (HISP credit available if written work done in Spanish). |

In this course, students will engage critically with the Japanese culture.
Through animation films directed by Miyazaki Hayao, Kon Satoshi,
and others, and modern Japanese short stories, we will examine the
ideas of "basic" and perhaps "typical" Japanese cultural aspects and
elements, as defined in Roger J. Davies and Osamu Ikeno's The
Japanese Mind: Understanding Contemporary Japanese Culture.
Students are expected to think about these aspects and elements,
watching animation films and reading short stories. Most importantly,
however, students are required to analyze the Japanese works from a
critical perspective and to write "argumentative essays" on them. By
close-reading the texts (both films and literary works), students will
develop sensitivities toward what flows underneath cultural
representations The coursework includes multiple drafts of term papers. |

We live in a bordered world. While some national borders may seem invisible, allowing for easy crossing, others are heavily guarded-stern markers of state sovereignty and protectionism. In this course we will examine the broad political and cultural implications of borders, from the 20th century into the present. Our main focus will be on the lived experience of-and on-the border, with special attention given to transnational travel, migration (increasingly climate related), exile, and the unique cultures that emerge in borderlands. Aside from reading essential texts within the field of Border Studies, we will explore several novels, short stories and films from different parts of the world-from the Berlin Wall to the US-Mexico Border |

The Godfather and The Godfather Part II films are narrative masterpieces that provide many insights into the interplay of character and culture in decision-making in high-stakes situations outside the law. We will interpret the films as illustrations of strategic interaction in stylized mafia settings. We will focus on the psychology of motivations: rationality, interest, emotion, justice, and the mafia’s code of honor (vendetta, omertà, and gender norms). And we will discuss narrative techniques and the relationship between art and life (fiction and reality). |

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