1044 AMST-839-90 Evolution of the Western Film 1.00 LEC Younger, James TR: 6:00PM-9:15PM N/A HUM Q2
  Enrollment limited to 3 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: Remote  
    Cross-listing: ENGL-439-90, ENGL-839-90
  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.

  Enrollment limited to 3 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: Remote  
  Also cross-referenced with WMGS Cross-listing: ENGL-433-90
  Anne Boleyn. Queen Elizabeth. Mary Queen of Scots. Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke. Penelope Rich. Lucy Russell, Countess of Bedford. These Renaissance women were important leaders, writers, patrons of the arts. There also exists a rich and long tradition of representing them in history, literature, and film. What does this sustained fascination reveal about the continual process of historical revision, and ultimately about our own cultural preoccupations? This course will examine a range of texts: biographies, early modern texts by and about these figures, and more contemporary representations (in popular histories, plays, and films) of their lives and times. For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written before 1700. It is a research-intensive seminar.

  Enrollment limited to 9 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: Remote  
    Cross-listing: POLS-304-90
  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.
1010 PBPL-850-90 Wmn, Ldrshp, & Pub Pol 1.00 LEC Cancelled Q1
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: Remote  
  Women have made significant progress over the course of history in achieving greater equity in the public and private sectors. However, a number of barriers still exist that prevent women from fully reaching their potential. This course examines challenges and opportunities related to women's leadership development through discussion of course texts, business cases, guest speakers, and reflection. This course will also examine the current research on whether women's policy and leadership interests are freely expressed, and whether women's policy and leadership interests differ from men's (e.g., the gender gap in public opinion, educational status, justice system, and political involvement.).
1041 PBPL-855-90 Urban Politics 1.00 LEC Chambers, Stefanie MW: 6:00PM-9:15PM N/A SOC Q2
  Enrollment limited to 5 Waitlist available: Y Mode of Instruction: Remote  
  Also cross-referenced with AMST, CLIC Cross-listing: URST-355-90, POLS-355-90
  This course will use the issues, institutions, and personalities of the metropolitan area of Hartford to study political power, who has it, and who wants it. Particular attention will be given to the forms of local government, types of communities, and the policies of urban institutions. Guest speakers will be used to assist each student in preparing a monograph on a local political system.
1042 PBPL-870-90 Polarization and Policy-Making 1.00 LEC Dudas, Mary TR: 6:00PM-9:15PM N/A SOC Q2
  Enrollment limited to 19 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: Remote  
    Cross-listing: POLS-311-90
  This course will examine the interaction between policy and polarization. We will first survey the contours and history of polarization in America with a focus on the development of the national political parties. We will then examine the interaction of policy making and polarization at the national and state levels: how does polarization affect policy making at the national and state levels; how does policy affect polarization; why have some states become more polarized than others; and how does that polarization affect policy making at the state level? Finally, we will assess the relationship between policy making and polarization at the national and state levels using the case studies of health care and abortion.
