		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.

1012	ENGL-245-90	Modern Horror Films	0.50	LEC	Mrozowski, Daniel	MTWRF: 9:00AM-11:00AM	N/A		HUM
		Enrollment limited to 39		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. Students may not take ENGL 245 and ENGL 219 due to the overlapping course material.
1009	ENVS-307-01	New England in Winter	0.50	SEM	Geiss, Christoph	TBA	TBA		WELL
		Enrollment limited to 11		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: In Person
		Also cross-referenced with WELL
		NOTE: Course will run Jan 4 - 8.
		This week-long course explores the winter environments of New England through a number of day-long and half-day hikes, readings, and discussion. We will explore Connecticut's famous traprock ridges, eastern hardwood forests, the glaciated Riga Plateau and Long Island Sound. Students are expected to participate in four of five hikes, participate in class discussions and investigate one of these environments in greater depth. This course includes a significant outdoor component and will expose you to wintry, possibly cold and/or wet environments. It requires adequate clothing and footwear as the hikes will be rain (snow) or shine. Additional equipment (e.g., snow shoes, microspikes) is available through Trinity's outdoor program. Students are strongly encouraged to check the course syllabus and contact the instructor with any questions prior to registering for the course.

1002	PBPL-206-90	Birthright Citizenship	0.50	LEC	Turiano, Evan	TWR: 1:00PM-4:20PM	N/A		SOC
		Enrollment limited to 25		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		This course will examine the past, present, and future of American national citizenship’s most foundational and contested principle. Students will consider the philosophical underpinnings of citizenship and its alternatives alongside the complex history of citizenship in the United States before the Civil War. Students will conduct close readings of the Fourteenth Amendment and will learn about how contests over the exclusion of Chinese immigrants, the sovereignty of Indigenous people, women’s rights, and the fragile equality of African Americans under the law have each shaped the meaning of birthright citizenship. Finally, students will examine how immigration patterns have transformed the national debate over birthright citizenship and how it has come to face its biggest challenge in over a century.
1003	POLS-342-90	Gender and Politics	0.50	SEM	Chambers, Stefanie	MTWR: 10:00AM-12:30PM	N/A		SOIP
		Enrollment limited to 12		Waitlist available: Y		Mode of Instruction: Remote
		This course explores the role of gender in American politics. 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? Do male and female politicians govern differently? Throughout the course we will consider how race and ethnicity intersect with gender in the US political system. Note: Students may not earn credit for POLS 342 and POLS 326
1006	POLS-350-90	International Organizations	0.50	SEM	Hamidi, Sidra	MTWR: 10:00AM-12:30PM	N/A		GLB5

		This course explores the dynamics of international organizations, with a focus on the United Nations. In particular, we draw on a variety of perspectives—from mainstream International Relations theory to organizational analysis—to understand questions of institutional emergence, design, and effectiveness. Using case studies and simulations, students are encouraged to think concretely about the challenges facing international organizations. Note: Students may not earn credit for POLS 350 and POLS 305

1014	FREN-222-90	No Text Is an Island	0.50	SEM	Buzay, Elisabeth	MTWR: 10:00AM-12:30PM	N/A		GLB2
		Enrollment limited to 14		Waitlist available: N		Mode of Instruction: Remote
						Cross-listing: LACS-222-90
		In this course, we will explore a text both as a standalone work and as the center of a network of literary and cultural references. Branching out from this central node, we will then go on to look at the works and topics (literary texts, news articles, films, videos, songs, pop culture, food, etc.) the text touches upon, thus creating a map of the literary and cultural networks centered around this work. In addition to raising questions of genre, literary and critical analysis, and culture, students will engage with digital technologies and use digital humanities techniques to create visualizations of these networks. The course will conclude with students analyzing and presenting their own mapped networks of a text of their choosing.

1007	ROME-105-01	Exploring Awe	0.50	SEM	Grubb, Michael Martin, Simon	MTWR: 1:00PM-3:30PM	TBA	Y	WELL
		Enrollment limited to 14		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.
1008	ROME-235-01	Food and Culture	0.50	SEM	Dorato, Valentina Martin, Simon	MTWR: 10:00AM-12:30PM	TBA	Y

		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.
