1029	CCUR-203-01	Hacking College	0.50	SEM	Cancelled				WELL
		Enrollment limited to 15		Waitlist available: Y		Mode of Instruction: In Person
		What is the purpose of a college education? What if you could develop skills and strategies in college that would help you solve complex problems and design your own future? Through the Trinity Plus curriculum, students gain access to a world-class liberal arts education and career-defining co-curricular opportunities. But what does that mean? And what is the best way for YOU to make use of all Trinity has to offer? Finding your path requires innovative, creative thinking, with you at the driver's seat. Using research on design thinking, information hacking, and self-branding, students in this course will critically engage with these questions and learn to chart out multiple life and career paths. Assignments include reflective writing and fast-paced, interactive exercises intended to reinforce the fundamental principles, methods, and applications of design thinking. By the end, students will take away the narrative tools and planning skills to brand their academic and professional identities at Trinity by making use of the innovative resources at their disposal, including but not limited to, the Trinity Plus.

		The horror genre is having a terrible renaissance. With filmmakers like James Wan and Jordan Peele, film studios like Blumhouse and A24, international streaming sensations like Squid Games, and television writers like Mike Flanagan, horror has moved into the mainstream as a litmus test for dangerous emotions and energies. This course will consider horror in our contemporary moment through questions of its production history, its unsettling politics, its brutal aesthetics, and its enduring power as a form of cultural storytelling. Exemplary topics will include the neo-uncanny of psychological terror (The Babadook & Hereditary), the compelling dread of the historical imagination (The Witch & Candyman), and the fresh energies of sociological critique (Get Out & Barbarian).

Through contemplative practice, writing prompts, and movement-based activities, we will explore the dynamic interplay between language and the body. How do words frame motion? When can words capture or fail to capture motion? How can movement be shaped, enhanced, or undermined by language? Writing assignments will span multiple genres inviting students to articulate diverse relationships to the moving body. Participatory exercises will be accompanied by reading from fiction, creative non-fiction, and dance studies, offering critical and imaginative perspectives on the boundaries and possibilities of embodiment.

1009	URST-308-90	Olmsted's Evolving Legacy	0.50	SEM	Cancelled				SOCW
		Enrollment limited to 15		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		Identifying the characteristics of past, present, and future parks, the legacy of Hartford native, Frederick Law Olmsted, who designed the Trinity College campus, will reveal the fundamental value of nature in cities. Historic benefits of Olmsted's design influence will be studied as students prepare proposals that can strengthen local community resilience. This course will combine exploration of landscapes near students who are participating remotely with seminar readings of Olmsted's letters/design proposals. Students will develop proposals for conservation of nature as new parks or expanded park systems. Interdisciplinary research will be encouraged. Individual analysis of distinct features, such as recreational trail networks, educational programs, picturesque pathways, riparian connectivity, historic narratives, conservation finance, or ecosystem vitality, will layer our understanding of how landscapes function within urban design.
1002	CLCV-215-90	Legal & Scientific Terminology	0.50	LEC	Tomasso, Vincent	MTWRF: 10:00AM-12:00PM	N/A		GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 29		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		This Legal & Scientific Terminology course provides students with the tools to understand the immense amount of technical vocabulary derived from Greek and Latin languages in legal and scientific fields such as law and medicine. Much of the legal and scientific terminology in the English language still today are words that were formed or borrowed from Greek and Latin such as habeas corpus, affidavit, appendectomy, nephrology, etc. In this course, students will learn how to decipher complex vocabulary including patterns in prefixes, suffixes, roots, and stems. Students will also gain a deeper understanding of the history and meaning of the terminology they will likely encounter in their careers and future. No prior knowledge of Greek or Latin is required.

1023	FREN-265-90	What Can Literature Do?	0.50	SEM	Bouchakour, Walid	MTWR: 9:00AM-11:30AM	N/A		GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 14		Waitlist available: Y		Mode of Instruction: Remote
						Cross-listing: LACS-265-90
		In this course, we will explore the revolutionary potential of literature and art. Our examples will come from the struggles for decolonization, anti-racism, and democracy. How can the written word effect social change or even transform the world? We will read poetry, fictions, songs, manifestos, and essays to examine the various forms and strategies writers use to be “political.” The course will also consider how film and other artistic media document and inspire major social transformations. Students will contribute their own examples of politically engaged works to class discussions. For the final project, they may either write a 3–5-page reflection on a cultural work or create an original piece that engages with a social issue of their choice.

1008	ROME-105-01	Exploring Awe	0.50	SEM	Grubb, Michael Martin, Simon	TBA	TBA	Y	WELL
		Enrollment limited to 12		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: In Person
		NOTE: This course is on site at the Rome campus.
		The psychological literature defines awe as an emotional response to physical or conceptual vastness. It's an expansive feeling that challenges you to see the world differently and to connect with something larger than yourself. In this course, we will build a theoretical understanding of awe, as conceptualized in the psychological, neuroscientific, and philosophical literature, while using Rome-a city rich with history, art, and human achievement-as a natural laboratory for finding and exploring the phenomenology of awe.
1030	ROME-123-01	Italy and Travel	0.50	SEM	Elukin, Jonathan Martin, Simon	MTWR: 10:00AM-12:30PM	TBA	Y	HUGI
		Enrollment limited to 14		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: In Person
		NOTE: This course is on site at the Rome campus.
		Rome and Italy have always been important tourist destinations since the days when Rome was the center of an empire. In the Middle Ages, pilgrims flocked to Rome for its churches and shrines. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Rome and Italy attracted elite travelers on the Grand Tour who were searching for classical art, education, and adventure. Mass tourism in the 19th century soon followed, and now Italy is overrun with tourists looking for la dolce vita. The students in the JTERM course will visit sites associated with the history of travel to Rome, and through readings, discussion, and written reflections we will consider how travel changes the self-understanding of the traveler and what can we now learn from travel to Rome in the age of Instagram.
1025	ROME-235-01	Food and Culture	0.50	SEM	Dorato, Valentina Martin, Simon	TBA	TBA	Y
		Enrollment limited to 13		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: In Person
		NOTE: This course is on site at the Rome campus.
		The saying, “A tavola non s’invecchia” (“One doesn’t age at the supper table”) expresses the importance of food and eating for Italians. In this course, we will examine the relationship between food and culture in Italy, from the ancient world to the present, through a variety of readings, class discussion and some personal and practical experience. Because the study of food culture in Italy invites comparison with your own alimentary habits, we will examine the culture and meaning of food in Italy and in your own country. If “we are what we eat”, then “what” we choose to eat affects many aspects of our lives. The study of food culture is an interdisciplinary study. Even though the historical point of view will be the main one, during our reading, class discussion and lecture we will touch upon a lot of different fields: anthropology, sociology, literature, art, philosophy. Besides studying food culture through readings, written assignments, and class discussion, students will undertake a group-learning project around Rome that will enhance their classroom experience.
