		Enrollment limited to 29		Waitlist available: Y		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		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.

		Enrollment limited to 19		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		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.
1016	ENGL-219-90	The Modern Horror Film	1.00	SEM	Mrozowski, Daniel	TR: 10:00AM-1:50PM	N/A		HUM	Q1
		Enrollment limited to 19		Waitlist available: Y		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		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.
1011	ENVS-282-01	Drone Flight School	1.00	LEC	Tatem, David	TR: 2:00PM-5:50PM	TBA			Q2

		Enrollment limited to 12		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		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.

1023	SOCL-254-90	Hulu’s Dopesick:TV vs. Reality	1.00	LEC	Andersson, Tanetta	MW: 2:00PM-5:50PM	N/A		SOIP	Q2
		Enrollment limited to 15		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		"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.

		Enrollment limited to 19		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		We live in a world of games: they pervade our leisure, but also our work, fitness, learning, and social interactions. It should be no surprise that theater and performance makers have begun to create gameful theater—performances the audience not only witnesses but plays. This course introduces students to gameful theater and gives them a chance to explore it as players, critics, and creators. We will examine art that reveals the ways playing and performing coincide and consider what new tools the practices of theater and game design offer one another. Students will engage with critical writing around performance, play, and games; experiment in dedicated class play sessions with different game forms; and develop a proposal for an original, interactive performance piece using gameful dramaturgy.
