Anthropology as a field asks what it means to be human: how do we know what is universal to human existence? What is natural and what is cultural? How can the strange become familiar and the familiar strange? This course introduces the theory and method of cultural anthropology as applied to case studies from different geographic and ethnographic areas. Topics to be considered include family and kinship, inequality and hierarchy, race and ethnicity, ritual and symbol systems, gender and sexuality, reciprocity and exchange, globalization and social change. |

Students will travel to a "galaxy far, far away" to explore the Star Wars universe and its relation to our own. In this course, students will examine the politics, philosophies, and histories that gave birth to Star Wars. We will be using the major films in the Star Wars franchise to unpack the many themes present. Core concepts in cultural anthropology will be used to introduce and frame our discussions. Students will consider the role that Buddhism played in the way George Lucas imaged the Jedi; they will contemplate the Empire as an allegory for fascism; and even think about what Star Wars might reveal about the major social issues for our time including racism, white nationalism, colonization, and religious war. |

This course will focus on basic human physiology and nutrition related to human health. We will examine organ systems, such as cardiovascular, kidney and liver, and explore how diet influences their function, susceptibility to chronic disease and longevity. We will discuss the standard American diet, other dietary philosophies and diet fads and explore the scientific literature to determine their effects on long term health. Throughout the course, we will explore food through in-class discussions, demonstrations and experiments, tastings, examination of menus and recipes, and cooking, and students will develop personal dietary strategies for better body function and long-term health. All levels of college science background are welcome. Not creditable to the Biology major. |

In this course, students will learn about myth traditions around the world, from Europe's ancient Greece to south America's Mayans. Throughout, we will use various critical lenses to make sense of these various myths and to compare them. We will examine creation and destruction myths, myths about trickster figures, and the relationship between myths and rituals. Mythologies to be examined include those on the continents of North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Along the way, we will also discuss re-figurations of myths by modern artists and their relevance to us now. |

What do films and television programs set in ancient Greece say about us and our identities now? This course explores the relationship modern artists have constructed with ancient Greece in the cinema and on the television screen. The main focus will be on how contemporary Americans view, depict, and change ancient experiences based on differing circumstances of time and place. Topics for discussion include the distinction between “myth” and “history”, the depiction of gender, the representation of the divine, considerations of the audience, and the mechanics of adaptation. Films may include Disney’s Hercules (1997), O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), Troy (2004), and 300 (2007). Television programs may include Xena: Warrior Princess (1995-2001) and Wishbone (1995-1999). |

The Roman poet Ovid (43 BCE – 17/18 CE) wrote in a time of great upheaval, and was eventually banished by Rome's first emperor, Augustus. In this course, students will critically engage with selections from Ovid's most famous work, the Metamorphoses. By considering Ovid's use of Greek myth, his approaches to gender and erotics, and his representations of the natural world, students will be invited to reflect on nature, change, and the power of poetry in the context of early imperial Rome. |

What do we know about the material culture of early medieval, medieval and early Renaissance Italian cities? What can we learn about the City as an important agent for economic and cultural development by studying these Italian cities? We explore these questions through case studies of urban development in early medieval Venice, medieval Siena and early Renaissance Florence. This comparative study emphasizes the urban nature of economic and cultural development in three distinct historical periods and thereby offers students a framework for understanding the contributions cities make in general to economic growth and development. It will build on theory and concepts from ECON 101 when analyzing and applying the course readings. This course will be taught in Italy.

This course will examine the boom in American cinematic horror in the late 20th century. In an era of political assassinations and scandals, economic depressions, unpopular imperial wars, and civil strife, filmmakers turned inward, locating threats within the American experiment itself. Through the work of outsiders like Romero and Cronenberg and auteurs like Kubrick and Friedkin, horror matured into a subtle form of social commentary smuggled under buckets of blood. Their uncanny iterations on body horror, occult nightmares, and alien predators bent American cinematic history towards an indelible darkness. In turn, they shaped an unparalleled art form for registering social fears. Alongside a diet of 2-3 major genre films per week, students will read the deep contextual criticism that followed in this film cycle’s wake. |

The course examines how the Western genre emerged from global popular culture at the end of the 19th century to become one of the most powerful and complex forms for expressing the experience of Modernity. After a careful consideration of the political and philosophical implications of the Western, we will track the development of the genre as it responds to the ideological contradictions and cultural tensions of 20th-century American history, focusing on broad trends within the mainstream, the contributions of individual directors, and the global dissemination of generic elements. |

This course will serve as an introduction to some major philosophical texts and questions that have constituted the western philosophical tradition. Such questions may include: What is the nature of the human? What does it mean to be a self? To what extent does the nature of the self depend upon encounters with others and what are the ethical perimeters of those encounters? What is the nature of human freedom? How should we live? How should we approach death? |

This class will explore two social forces that shape our everyday lives: gender and religion. We will ask: How do gender and religion intersect, especially in contemporary American society? Some view religion as stifling; others view it as enlightening. Similarly, some find gender restrictive, while others find it empowering. In what ways can intersections of religion and gender oppress and liberate, often simultaneously? How have people of various genders and religious backgrounds both resisted norms they find limiting and created new spaces for themselves? Can religion and gender ever be considered in isolation from each other or do they always intersect? We will look at examples such as the Trad Wife phenomenon, religion and gender in social movements, and veiling in Islam. |

An experiential course immersing students in creative problem solving, and awareness of historical and socio-political contexts, that gave rise to Hip Hop. While utilizing its core elements - the arts of *emceein', DJing, graffiti writing and breakin' - to foster critical discussions about managing stress and resolving conflicts with nonviolence, we'll explore the restorative power of respect, community, and dialogue for people recovering from trauma, or simply dealing with everyday stressors. In providing an in-depth understanding of Hip Hop as a multifaceted cultural movement and a medium for competitive creative expression, students will engage in assigned readings, active learning workshops, and practical sessions to encourage their own problem-solving skills. Course requires participation rather than experience, and personal reflection rather than referring to popular narratives about Hip Hop. |

This course is designed to introduce students to urban educational policy, with particular focus on the major issues and challenges facing urban and suburban policymakers. After a brief overview of the shape and history of the American school system, we will move toward considering a variety of different perspectives on why it has proven so difficult to improve America's schools. We will examine standards-based, market-driven, professionally-led and networked models of reform, looking at their theories of change, implementation challenges, and the critiques leveled against these approaches. We will examine a variety of recent reform efforts at both the federal and state levels. Special attention will be paid to the ways in which immigration and educational policy interact. |

We will then consider whether polarization is an elite phenomenon or a mass phenomenon. Throughout we will be attentive to the asymmetry of the two main parties. The Republican Party is a vehicle for a well financed extended party network on the right while the Democratic Party is a policy-making party that needs a wider base of support. Finally, we will examine how elite polarization has contributed to democratic backsliding the US. |

The course will deal with questions such as these: What are the underlying causes of our major social problems? Are inequality and the exercise of power by some over others inevitable in all social life? How important in human life are cultural and social factors compared to the influence of biological inheritance, personality and economic constraints? What are the origins of, prospects for, and results of attempts at deliberate social change? To what extent can we realistically expect to achieve our democratic ideals of freedom and equality in contemporary societies? The course addresses the basic concerns, ideas and methods of sociology both as a scientific and a humanistic discipline. |

"Dopesick," an eight-episode 2021 TV miniseries based on a bestselling book, depicts the Opioid overdose crisis over the past twenty-five years. Through low- and mid-stakes written work (i.e., freewriting techniques) with analytical essay revision, students will observe and then analyze central scenes/episodes by applying sociological, historical, anthropological, public health scientific literature, plus engage with hands-on digital research experience using The Opioid Industry Documents Archive. While Dopesick presents a multifaceted narrative, it tells a limiting good/bad-guy cultural story. Whereas a sociological ‘quality of mind’ (Mills, 1959) asks, if systems rather than individuals are failing us, then we must look beyond bad actors to analyze the rules and logics of interlocking social/economic decline, medicalization, health care landscapes, criminalization, and racialized, sexualized, and class-based conceptions on pain/suffering. |
