		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.

		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.

		Enrollment limited to 15		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		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.
1002	CLCV-113-90	Gods, Heroes, and Monsters	1.00	LEC	Tomasso, Vincent	MTWR: 10:00AM-11:50AM	N/A	GLB2	Q1
		Enrollment limited to 29		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		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.
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: In Person
		Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or drones have quickly emerged as a new way to explore the world around us. Emerging applications include mapping, photogrammetry, surveying, search and rescue, scientific research, and unmanned cargo delivery to name just a few. In this hands-on course all participants will pilot college owned drones to learn how to fly safely and responsibly to generate maps and 3D models utilizing ArcGIS and photogrammetry software. In addition to learning how to pilot the drones, students will explore the legal issues involved including: privacy and safety; FAA and other federal regulations; state and local laws; and current and future policy implications. The course will provide students with a solid basis for pursuing an FAA remote pilot certificate. Not open to students who have completed ENVS 281.
1017	POLS-221-90	Machiavelli: Beyond the Myth	1.00	SEM	Litvin, Boris	TR: 10:00AM-1:50PM	N/A	SOC	Q1
		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.

		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.
