FOCUS Report
 
 
AFAM302: Critical Race Theory Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This is an upper level African American Studies course that focuses on critical race theories and
empirical research on African Americans in the U.S. “Traditional” academic research on
African-Americans documents and explains how racialized systems of inequality operate. Critical
race theory is different because it also explicitly articulates the need for social justice.
Various theoretical approaches will be applied to specific historical developments in U.S.
racialized structures as they pertain to African Americans. This course investigates the myriad of
ways in which race and racism intersect with gender, class, sexuality, and nationality. Although
this class focuses primarily on African Americans, students will be exposed to critical race theory
from “whiteness studies” scholarship. Prerequisites: 100-level African American Studies or Sociology
course and 200-level social sciences course or Sophomore Seminar.
 
ANTH200: Introduction to Cultural Studies Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Cultural Studies analyzes how culture—the domain in which people search for meaning and construct
identity—is subject to politicization and commodification. This course introduces students to the
history, theories, and methods of cultural studies, exploring fundamental concepts such as culture,
power, ideology, and hegemony, and their relationships to the production of culture and identities.
Crucial to this project will be a critical analysis of contemporary media (such as TV, romance
novels, and advertisements). This course covers topics central to understanding our global society,
including: The ways fashion and shopping construct identities; the political and cultural dimensions
of global consumerism; the museum as a site for the making of elite culture; the functions served by
corporate philanthropy; and the social construction of select spaces as cultural arenas. Throughout
the course we consider the interplay of notions of race, class, and gender on national identities,
and the relationships between popular and “high” culture. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing or
permission of the instructor.
 
ANTH212: Anthropology Goes to the Movies Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course explores the ways that indigenous and non-Western peoples are portrayed in popular
commercial film. Through viewing films and texts about visual representation, we will consider
questions such as: From whose point of view is the story told? Whose voices dominate the film's
narrative and perspective? Are characters presented as multidimensional or stereotypical? The course
will also focus on the ways that social and political issues involving indigenous peoples are
presented. We will analyze the differences between films made with indigenous participation (as
writers or directors) and those with no significant non-Western influence. Prerequisite: One course
in Social Studies or Film.
 
ANTH232: CP City Life: Anthropology, People, and Place at Home and Abroad Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course examines cities and their inhabitants in a cross-cultural perspective as these dynamic
environments shape and are shaped by their diverse populations. Students will be introduced to the
development of Urban Studies from its late 19th century origins in the United States and Europe to
the current interdisciplinary focus on the various facets of city life today. We will explore those
social, economic, political, and religious forces that have contributed to the creation of varied
urban centers that operate as administrative and commercial headquarters, sacred sites, centers for
recreation and festival, and global metropolises with influence that extends beyond national
borders. Topics that will be discussed include migration and immigration; licit and illicit economic
activities; urban violence; the configuration of space with its links to power; expressive culture;
and the complex class, ethnic, gender, and racial dimensions found in cities. We address urban life
through ethnographic works centered on Ireland, Ghana, Nigeria, Thailand, Bolivia, Brazil, and the
United States. Prerequisite: one 100-level social studies course or permission of instructor.
 
 
ANTH328: Preternatural Predilections: Witchcraft, Sorcery, and Possession in Cross-Cultural Perspective Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
According to Evans-Pritchard, the Azande in Africa believed granaries collapsed, crushing their
victims, because they were directed to do so by a witch intent on harming the unsuspecting
individual seated nearby. Since Evans-Pritchard's pioneering work in the 1930s, a new generation of
scholars have emerged whose passions for the preternatural have led to the exploration of
witchcraft, sorcery, possession, divination, rumor and gossip as a means to explain the inexplicable
and restore equilibrium in an uncertain world. This course examines in a cross-cultural perspective
how people create meaning, form community, and devise interpretations of their everyday lives via
these diverse beliefs and practices. We will examine how witchcraft accusations are linked to ethnic
tensions within nation-states and the manner in which these indictments are commentary upon
indigenous societies' ambivalence toward modernity. Bewitchment, cannibalism, and zombification
index the unequal distribution of resources within families or regions where internal and
transnational migration are frequent and are modes of expression in religious conversion narratives
and highlight gender inequities. To further our exploration of these subjects we will look to our
own history and do so through a fieldtrip to Salem, Massachusetts to examine the social, economic,
and religious underpinnings the 17th century witchcraft trials. Whether these beliefs and practices
manifest in localized settings or envelop entire nations, recourse to the preternatural remains a
potent and persistent form of expression and interaction in the historic and contemporary world.
Prerequisites for this course are completion of one anthropology course and completion of Sophomore
Seminar. Students may also seek permission of instructor.
 
ARAB101: CP Accelerated Beginning Arabic II Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This is the second half of a year-long accelerated course that introduces the rudiments of written
and spoken Modern Standard Arabic. In addition to regular practice in writing the alphabet, word
formation, elementary calligraphy, and basic grammar, the course offers exercises in phonology,
morphology, and syntax. By the second semester, students can read and understand a variety of Arabic
texts about customs and institutions of the Middle East. The course also explores selected topics on
Arab culture and civilization, such as the role of classical Arabic in Muslim art and architecture
and the connections between the Arabic language and Islam. Successful completion of this year-long
course fulfills the general language requirement or the cultural perspectives requirement.
Prerequisite: Arabic 100.
 
ARTH112: History of Photography Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course is a chronological and thematic survey of the history of photography from the 1830s to
the present mainly in England, France, and the United States. We look carefully at the subject,
style, and techniques of representative photos and place them in their social and political
contexts. We analyze a range of photographs including early technical experiments, motion studies,
popular portraits, avant-garde photos, landscapes, and documentary photography. Some of the issues
we discuss include the status of photography as popular art and fine art; photography as a medium of
personal and political expression; the relationship of photos to specific historical events; and the
histories of women and black photographers. This course is one of a three semester series in the
history and analysis of photography. The courses can be taken independently of each other. No
prerequisites.
 
ARTH309: Lacan & Visual Pleasure Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
In this course we closely read texts by Jacques Lacan, a major contributor to the reformulation of
post-Freudian psychoanalysis, a mid 20th-century writer whose influence can be located in almost
every discipline of the humanities and social sciences today. Selections from Lacan are read deeply
and contextualized within the frameworks of intellectual and political/feminist thought of the last
 
30 years. We also watch film and look at visual images, and read theories influenced by Lacan about such texts. We investigate the process of looking as a site at which gender gets constructed. “The gaze” described by Lacan is a concept that registers sexual power relationships, anxieties, and fears. Given a Lacanian spin, visual texts such as painting or photographs take on a richness of interpretation that offers profound relevance to human experiences of self and other, looking and being seen, desire and lack. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor.
 
ARTS211: Interactive Arts Workshop Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
The theme for the workshop varies each time it is offered. In In 2010, the theme was “Transcending
the Timeline: Animation and Interactivity.” Beginning students will work with Flash as a primary
authoring tool to bring together graphics and sound, creating animations that will introduce
essential elements of interactivity - branching, control with mouse and/or keyboard, etc, forming
the building blocks of the more complex structures found in game development. Flash is the most
widespread tool used to bring dynamic, multi-sensory elements into otherwise static web sites.
Advanced students will be able to work in 3D using Blender, the premier “open source” modeling and
animation program, and Unity, which is used to create immersive interactive environments. Class
members, working as individuals and/or in small teams, will explore and create works that combine
traditional arts disciplines and media (including performing and studio arts) with human interaction
via the computer interface. In addition to becoming familiar with the technical aspects of
interactive multimedia, the class will explore the aesthetic and conceptual dimensions. Open to all
levels.

ASIA237: CP Unity of Buddhism and State in Japan Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
If a group of Japanese are asked their religion the most likely response is that they have none.
The reason is that the Japanese consider Shinto and Buddhism as part of their culture, not as a
religion in the western context. While a separation of "church and state" is written into the
Japanese constitution, in fact such a division does not exist in Japan, today, nor any time in the
past. Buddhism and Shinto totally interpenetrate social, political, economic and cultural life in a
way that eludes those who impose a religion category onto Buddhism and Shinto in Japan. In this
course we will examine the unity of Buddhism, and to a lesser extent Shinto, in the political,
cultural, social, and economic realms from the 5th century to the present. Starting before the
introduction of Buddhism to Japan we will examine how Buddhist philosophy, power and practices
formed and transformed Japanese life. At the end of the course the student will have a better
appreciation of Buddhism and its role in Asian social and cultural development.
 
BAS378: Exploring the New Seminar Sequence Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.

reflective examination of those discussions. By taking this course, upper-year students
participate in the process of developing the new Seminars. In doing so, they participate in the
campus discourse of the common intellectual experience. Note: The Spring 2011 offering of this BA
Seminar will cover the materials from the first two semesters of Seminar.
 
BAS384: Bridges: Art as Communication Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This team-taught seminar examines the origins and processes of artists in a variety of creative
modes who are working in the twenty-first century. Held in conjunction with the Arts Division’s
Bridges/Visiting Artists Program, we will focus on the work of four internationally known artists
who will engage in short residencies on campus: classical concert pianist Frederic Chiu at the end
of January, performance artist Tomas Kubinek in February, graphic novelist/cartoonist Alison Bechdel
in March, and filmmaker/special effects guru/inventor Douglas Trumbull in early April. Students
will be expected to attend the formal presentations, performances and receptions for these four
artists, which will usually occur on Saturdays and Sundays; the seminar is held on Monday
afternoons. Readings, presentations and discussions will introduce and respond to each artist’s
work, and students will write an essay on the work of each artist that focuses on an area of
interest as determined by the student in conference with the faculty. A final project or paper will
synthesize the semester's work.
 
BAS399: Eros and Thanatos: A Study of Sexuality in the West Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course focuses on the ways that human sexuality has been interpreted in the West. Situated at
the boundary between the biological and the social, human sexual connection has been feared for its
explosive potential to disrupt all other forms of human organization, and interrogated as the key to
understanding human nature and individual identity. Sexual behavior has long been the object of
religious and state proscription, and concerns about it arguably underlie most methods of state
control. Sigmund Freud, the quintessential theorist of modern sexuality, argued that Eros and
Thanatos (Love and Death) ruled the world--humans are perpetually caught between elemental drives
toward connection and reproduction on the one hand, and the destruction of all life on the other. In
Classical Greece, sexual practices were inextricably bound to the education of the male citizen, and
love was an aesthetic, spiritual, and corporal experience, which, in Plato's view was crucial to the
right and true order of the Polis. While medieval Christians emphasized the association of sex with
sin, and insisted on the linkage of true love with the divine, nineteenth century Victorians have
been accused of linking humans only by the callous “cash nexus.” Many contemporary scholars (e. g.
Michel Foucault) argue that sexuality itself is an historically contingent phenomenon enacting
shifting power relationships of all sorts, and question the privileged place it has been accorded in
the explanation of human affairs. This course features a close reading of texts (including films,
music, art) that have been considered classic expressions of Western understandings of sexuality.
Included will be works by authors such as Simone de Beauvoir, the Marquis de Sade, Freud, Foucault,
Mozart, Shakespeare, and Tolstoy. On occasion we will have guest faculty to provide perspectives
that will enrich our own. This course may be counted as a BA Seminar, or as a core course in the
Historical Studies, or Contemporary Critical Theory Concentrations. Prerequisite: Junior Standing or
permission of the instructor.

Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Meets the Science requirement. With rare exceptions, the only direct evidence we have pertaining to
the anatomy, health and evolution of past human populations must be derived from preserved skeletal
remains. Increasingly there is a need to identify and determine age, sex, ancestry and other
information from contemporary human remains. Detailed knowledge of the human skeleton is therefore
central to a broad range of functional, population and taxonomic studies in archaeology,
paleontology, forensic medicine, dental and medical research. Students will learn about the external
and internal structure and physiological properties of bone, how to interpret growth and development
of bone, how bone structure evolves given different environments, how various diseases and trauma
modify bone, and last but not least, students will learn how to recognize and identify every bone in
the human body, and many key muscles, and other structures, that are associated with the bones.
Classes will consist of a combination of lecture days and laboratory days.

they can be reconstructed later, will be utilized. The class will begin with an examination of the
formal components of dance -- the body, space, time and energy -- and move on to issues of content.
Throughout, aesthetic issues will be explored, such as: how can movement be discussed and analyzed?
How can improvisation and choreography be combined in a finished product? what is personal style and
how can it be expanded upon? Readings and watching DVDs will supplement movement homework
assignments. This course is open to any student interested in exploring the formal and expressive
potential of dance.

Moving Issues explores issue-based dance and choreography. The course investigates how personal and
cultural issues can be expressed through dance and, in turn, how dance can impact the experience of
those issues. Students learn to consider such issues and challenges from an artist's standpoint,
through the creation of both improvisational dance and set choreography. The course emphasizes
personal expression, the creative process, and the power of the arts to transform our experience of
the questions, challenges and concerns faced in our lives. The class includes warm-up exercises,
movement and choreography labs, performance opportunities, journaling, discussion, and the use of
other arts modalities. Readings and videos deepen the understanding and experience of class
material. Response journals, movement assignments and a final project/paper are required.
 
ECON100: Microeconomics Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
An introduction to economics as a social science for students with essentially no background in
economics, this course provides an overview of the tools that Neoclassical economists use to
investigate the behavior of consumers and firms in markets. The course starts with examining
consumer choice, production decisions, and income distribution, we then turn to an overview of the
economic landscape we have built. Along the way, we seek to examine what is at stake in our choice
of economic explanations by discussing various critiques and extensions of basic microeconomic
theory.
 
ECON101: Macroeconomics Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to macroeconomics. The course acquaints the
student with the prevailing economic theories used by today's policy makers. During the course, we
will consider all major economic perspectives, including the central view that markets are a good
way to organize the economy, but that markets generate certain significant flaws that need to be
fixed. In discussing a number of alternative economic theories and perspectives, the ultimate goal
is to increase students' awareness and understanding of economic issues, to improve their ability to
evaluate various policy options, and to help them decipher political-economic rhetoric. The course
 
starts with the evolution of societies in human history and the development of modern economic thought. The emphasis is on a conceptual understanding of topics such as economic growth, inflation, unemployment, the role of governments and fiscal and monetary policies. No prerequisites.
 
ECON210: Intermediate Macroeconomics Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
In this class, we develop theoretical models of the macroeconomy at an intermediate level. We begin
from a framework that connects individual action to aggregate outcomes. In this framework, we then
study the main theoretical approaches and schools of thought that have dominated research and
policymaking in recent decades. Topics covered in this approach will include: definitions of the
national accounts, recessions and depressions, long-run growth, consumption, unemployment, monetary
policy, prices and financial crises. The class is mathematical in nature but calculus is not
required. Students must have taken a social-science class at the 100 level or above.

FS101: First-Year Seminar II: The Examined Life Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
All first-year students are required to take the two-semester First-Year Seminar. It introduces
students to the close reading of texts and the writing of substantive analytical essays that are the
basis of much college work. Students examine differing treatments of common situations, emotions,
conflicts, and questions that have engaged great writers over the centuries. The seminar focuses on
the themes of self-discovery, the relationship of the individual and society, and the nature of
values and responsibility. It draws on and develops the methods introduced in the Writing and
Thinking Workshop, fostering critical thinking and the effective articulation of ideas. In the fall
 
semester, readings for the course include The Epic of Gilgamesh, Sophocles' The Oedipus Cycle, Plato's The Last Days of Socrates, Dante's Inferno, and a wide array of articles, essays, poems, and stories chosen to enhance discussion of the major texts and the issues they raise, and to provide a variety of topics for students to explore in writing. In the spring semester, students further develop their writing and thinking skills through reading, discussion, and expository writing using a variety of primary and supplementary texts, including Shakespeare's Hamlet, Mozart and Da Ponte's Don Giovanni, Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and Douglass' Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. The course continues to focus on values, self-discovery, cultural imperatives, freedom, and understanding. Most of the primary texts studied are derived from the Western canon and consequently an additional goal of the course is to train and encourage students to examine the Western tradition critically and to raise questions concerning the sexism, racism, chauvinism, and parochialism inherent in any given cultural tradition. Class sessions are supplemented by lectures and other activities that provide background and context for the texts, presented by faculty from all the divisions and by guest speakers.
 
GEOG213: Global Political Ecologies: Resource Hegemony, Resistance, and Environmentality Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Political Ecology is the study of power in the web of human-environment relations. Scales of concern
range from the planetary to the bodily, and disciplinary origins in cultural ecology and neo-Marxist
political economy inform a focus on resource appropriation in both global "core" areas and
marginalized "peripheries." Immersion in classic social theory foundational to current PE (Antonio
Gramsci, Raymond Williams, Michel Foucault, and Eric Wolf) enlivens critique of contemporary work by
James C. Scott, Arturo Escobar, Dianne Rocheleau, Nancy Lee Peluso, Michael Watts, Richard Peet,
Arun Agrawal, Paul Robbins, Tim Ingold, and other practitioners whose work ties into
poststructuralism, postcolonialism, feminist theory, and urban studies. Case studies explore
contested terrains where industrialization, commoditization, and capitalism collide and articulate
with rural, preindustrial modes of resource management and indigenous systems of environmental
knowledge and innovation. Given the diversity of reconfigurations, resistances, and co-productions
arising in conjunction with resource imperialism and hegemonic environmental governance, we cannot
settle comfortably within a narrative of cascading cultural and ecological extinctions; through the
study of competing environmental ontologies, epistemologies, cosmologies, and practices, we consider
a range of alternative visions of “development,” “urban-rural,” “core-periphery,” “stewardship,”
“sustainability,” “modernity,” “globalization,” and “nationhood.”

GEOG330: Agon, Victus, Territorium: Spaces of Combat, War, and Territoriality Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
 
The English word, territory is probably derived from the Latin territorium – land around a town,
domain, or district – but does territorium itself come from terra (earth, land) and –orium (a suffix
denoting place), or was it derived from “terrere” (to frighten), indicating a place or area from
which outsiders are driven or repelled by fear. Linguists may fight over the origins of territory,
but all humans continue to inhabit a world in which the territorial precedes the terrestrial in the
ordering of everyday life and the common play of power. This course focuses upon the powers and
rituals that animate agon, the contests and struggles for victory over territory, and victus, the
multiform practices of living, providing, sustaining, conquering, subduing, and being subdued.
Following the linkages between institutional constructions of imagined communities, national
boundaries, and individuals willing to fight and die for them, we explore the spatiality of
territorial conflict known as war. By foregrounding spatial perspectives in social theory and
readily crossing disciplinary borders, we consider heroism, masculinity, aggression, the “nature” of
violence, wars and frontiers, the clash of civilizations, “wars on terror,” and the ties that bind
us to markets and techno-industrial production systems that raise specters of warfare as inevitable
competition for nonrenewable resources and combat as a game for warrior-androids. Is there an end
in sight, or will humans decide that a world without a cause for which to die is no world in which
to live? Prerequisites for this course are completion of at least one 200-level social science
course and completion of Sophomore Seminar or permission of instructor.

themselves in a simple fashion, orally and in writing. This course fulfills the general language
requirement in one year. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor or German 204.
 
HIST232: CP The Long Civil Rights Movement Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course examines the recent histiographical shift from “Classical Civil Rights Movement”
scholarship to what historians Singh and Hall have phrased the “Long Civil Rights Movement.”
Primarily, we will focus our attention on how Long Civil Rights scholars stretch the timeline and
re-orient the roots of Civil Rights struggles. Additionally, this course will shift away from the
black and white racial binary that dominates traditional Civil Rights scholarship by including works
analyzing the American Indian and Chicana/Chicano movements.Prerequisites for this course are
completion of one social studies class. For more advanced students, the course may be taken at the
300-level via permission of instructor. This course offers credit toward the College’s Cultural
Perspectives distribution requirement for the AA. Prerequisite: Completion of one 200-level social
studies class.
 
HIST330: Eros and Thanatos: A Study of Sexuality in the West Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course focuses on the ways that human sexuality has been interpreted in the West. Situated at
the boundary between the biological and the social, human sexual connection has been feared for its
 
explosive potential to disrupt all other forms of human organization, and interrogated as the key to understanding human nature and individual identity. Sexual behavior has long been the object of religious and state proscription, and concerns about it arguably underlie most methods of state control. Sigmund Freud, the quintessential theorist of modern sexuality, argued that Eros and Thanatos (Love and Death) ruled the world--humans are perpetually caught between elemental drives toward connection and reproduction on the one hand, and the destruction of all life on the other. In Classical Greece, sexual practices were inextricably bound to the education of the male citizen, and love was an aesthetic, spiritual, and corporal experience, which, in Plato's view was crucial to the right and true order of the Polis. While medieval Christians emphasized the association of sex with sin, and insisted on the linkage of true love with the divine, nineteenth century Victorians have been accused of linking humans only by the callous “cash nexus.” Many contemporary scholars (e. g. Michel Foucault) argue that sexuality itself is an historically contingent phenomenon enacting shifting power relationships of all sorts, and question the privileged place it has been accorded in the explanation of human affairs. This course features a close reading of texts (including films, music, art) that have been considered classic expressions of Western understandings of sexuality. Included will be works by authors such as Simone de Beauvoir, the Marquis de Sade, Freud, Foucault, Mozart, Shakespeare, and Tolstoy. On occasion we will have guest faculty to provide perspectives that will enrich our own. This course may be counted as a BA Seminar, or as a core course in the Historical Studies, or Contemporary Critical Theory Concentrations. Prerequisite: Junior Standing or permission of the instructor.
 
LATN101: Accelerated Beginning Latin II Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Latin is the language not only of Virgil, Cicero, Horace, Catullus and Tacitus, but also of poets,
historians, scientists, philosophers, and theologians through the time of St. Augustine down to the
Middle Ages and on into the Renaissance and even beyond. It is the language in which Western culture
was transmitted to Western Europe or first invented, besides being the source of a large
proportion of English vocabulary. In this two semester course, students with no (or relatively
little) previous experience of Latin acquire a working knowledge of the language. As far as
possible, Latin is learned as a language spoken and heard in the classroom. We speak, chant, sing,
and perform skits in Latin, in addition to reading. Explanations are, of course, given in English,
and we practice translating in both directions. By the end of the year, students are able to hold
their own in conversation and also, with the aid of a dictionary, to read most Latin authors.
Prerequisite: Latin 100.
 
LATN205: CP Intermediate Latin II: Roman Civilization and Comedy Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Designed for students who have completed Latin 204 or have had, either in high school or college,
the equivalent of one semester’s experience in reading extended Latin texts. The reading for this
course consists of at least one Roman comedy, either of Plautus or Terence. Most of the comedies of
Plautus and Terence are read in English translation during the semester, and discussion, in class
and in short papers, of Roman culture, the literary genre and its techniques and conventions is an
integral part of the course. Short sections of the Latin play are usually performed by the students
during the second half of the semester. Prerequisite: Latin 204 or its equivalent (see instructor
for placement).
 
LING304: CP Native American Languages Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.

each of the language families indigenous to North America. Prerequisite: Linguistics 100 or
equivalent.
 
LIT101: Nature Writing/ Writing Nature Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
 
This course offers students the opportunity to write personal essays about the natural world while
also studying some classic and contemporary nature writers. Regular writing assignments and
activities will be complemented by discussion of selected readings by classic and contemporary
nature writers. In the tradition of many nature writers, we will occasionally make use of our own
“backyard” (in this case, the College campus) as a source for observation, writing, and reflection.
At the end of the module students will submit a portfolio of their work that includes both the
informal and formal writing done during the course, a nature journal, a major revision of an earlier
piece, and a substantial selfevaluation. Students interested in the sciences as well as the
humanities are encouraged to enroll. No prerequisites.
 
LIT106: Creative Nonfiction Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Creative nonfiction is sometimes called “the fourth genre,” or the literature of reality. It
includes various forms of writing based upon personal experience, including personal narratives,
personal essays, memoirs, literary journalism, and more experimental lyric or hybrid essays. During
the term, students write a series of working drafts, which are then read and discussed in class. In
addition, students read and discuss the work of published authors in the field and engage in
informal exercises that help to expand their awareness of style, content, structure, and point of
view. At the end of the module students submit a portfolio of their work that includes all of the
working drafts, a major revision of one of these drafts, a write-up of an oral presentation on at
least one of the assigned writers, a writer’s journal, and a substantial self-evaluation. No
prerequisites.

LIT266: CP Francophone and Anglophone Africa : A Tale of Two Literatures Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Even though both modern African literatures in French and English started in the middle of the 20th
century, their beginnings could not have been more different. Francophone literature originated in
France from theoretical and philosophical debates led by students from Africa and the Caribbean
 
(Antilles), about colonialism and the place of the « Black man » in the world. Anglophone literature, on the contrary, started in Africa, « from the ground up » so to speak, with no preconceived ideology and with novels instead of poetry. In this course, we will look in detail at the history of these two literatures. We will discuss the notion of « négritude » and the controversies surrounding it. We will also discuss the impact of the Harlem Renaissance and the sometimes heated debates between Francophone and Anglophone writers about what « African » literature should be. No prerequisites.
 
LIT268: Postwar German Literature in Translation Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course will examine developments in German literature following World War II. Topics to be
considered will include the various ways that writers of the period dealt with the historical
atrocities of the war itself, the issues attached to both the guilt and suffering of the Holocaust,
the increased industrialization brought on by the German “economic miracle” of the 1950s, the
separation and reunification of the two Germanys, and the forwarding of philosophical and aesthetic
approaches to poetry and the novel in the contemporary work of West Germany, East Germany, Austria,
and Switzerland. Writers discussed will include Günther Grass, Heinrich Böll, Ingeborg Bachmann,
Paul Celan, Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Wolfgang Koeppen, Max Frisch, Thomas Bernhard, Christa Wolf, and
Peter Handke.

focus on psychoanalytic theories of the expression of the human condition and apply those theories
to such literary masters as Goethe, Shakespeare, Proust, Plath, Dostoevsky, Kafka, and Nabokov. We
will also consider a variety of other art forms which represent psychological reality including
film, sculpture, music and dance.
 
LIT288: Fiction Workshop Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
For students who have some experience in writing short fiction and want to give and receive helpful
criticism in a workshop atmosphere, this course combines structure and freedom: structure in the
form of assigned exercises drawing attention to the elements and techniques of fiction and freedom
in the form of longer, independently conceived stories. Some time is spent each week discussing
short fiction by contemporary writers as well as that of students in the workshop, with the goal of
sharpening our abilities as writers, editors, and critics. Admission to the course is selective;
candidates must submit samples of their writing to the instructor before registration. Prerequisite:
Literature 150 or permission of the instructor.
 
LIT289: Poetry Workshop Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
The workshop is intended for students willing to make their own writing a means of learning about
poetry, poetic devices, and techniques, and the discipline of making and revising works of art.
Class time is divided between a consideration of the students' work and the work of modern British
and American poets, but the central concern of the course is the students' own writing, along with
the articulation, both private and shared, of response to it. Prerequisite: Literature 150 or 151.
 
LIT303: Dante and the Secular Sublime Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
After a discussion of Dante’s documented love for Beatrice in the Vita Nuova and a brief re-reading
of Inferno, we will follow Dante’s journey through the twilit realms of Purgatory, followed by his
arduous ascent to the ecstatic incandescence of Paradise as set down in The Divine Comedy. Along
with the philosophical and religious consequences of the poem, we will also explore the political
and historical realities that helped inform its conception and composition, in addition to
 
considering its merits as a literary work. Through critical and biographical readings, we will seek to paint a larger and more detailed picture of Dante the poet and his times in order to think more deeply about what led Dante to compose this most fantastical of poems. Comparative readings of scholarly and poetic translations will also help us to get closer to the original poem, as well as the reasons for its enduring appeal among writers and scholars, and both believers and nonbelievers alike, to this day. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing and a 200-level literature course or permission of instructor.
 
LIT306: Poe, Hawthorne & Melville Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Edgar Allen Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville emerged as distinctive and influential
voices in American poetry and prose between 1827 and the mid-1850s. This course examines some of
their major works: Poe’s poetry, fiction, and literary theory; Hawthorne’s tales and romances;
Melville’s short stories and novels. In different ways, all three writers engage in a critique of
American life and character that is sharply at odds with the more optimistic attitudes expressed by
such contemporaries as Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing and a
200-level literature course or permission of instructor.

MUS207: Theory II: Tonal Harmony Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
 
Theory I introduces the tonal system through the composition and analysis of simple melodies. The
course gradually builds the picture of harmonized melody by developing bass-lines and inner voices
utilizing triads in all inversions. It also builds basic musical skills, emphasizing interval
identification and minimal keyboard familiarity. Theory II introduces the use of dissonance in the
form of suspension and seventh chords, and chromaticism in the form of secondary harmonies and
modulatory progressions. Chromatic harmonies (Neapolitan and augmented sixth chords) and enharmonic
relations complete the tonal picture. Short whole pieces from the Baroque period are used as first
examples of whole-piece analysis. Prerequisites: Intermediate music-reading ability and permission
of the instructor.

of musical gestures, while considering the views of such writers as Adorno, Benjamin, McLeary,
Nattiez, and Attali. The class focuses especially on the "loose canon" of early 20th-century
masters, particularly exploring the values influencing the continual reassessment of the works of
Schoenberg. The issue of relationship to audience is investigated. The class views videos of modern
operas and attends a concert in New York or Boston. Students do listening/reading assignments and
three self-generated investigations (paper/projects). Some music-reading ability is recommended.

MUS226: Opera & Musical Theater in Con Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course offers students the opportunity to improve their performance skills in opera, operetta,
and musical theater in a music-focused environment. Each year, one work by a significant composer
will be selected for intensive study, leading to a concert-style production at the end of the
module. Each student will prepare one or more roles in the production as his or her primary
performance xperience. Beyond the single work chosen for performance, students will study other
works by that composer, as well as those by related composers whose work emerges out of a similar
musical and cultural milieu. In addition, students will explore the relationship between drama and
music inherent in all of the music drama genres, and they will develop their skills in realizing
dramatic situations through musical choices. This course is intended for experienced singers who are
capable of learning music independently, and who are strong in both solo and harmony singing.
Prerequisite: Theater 115, a 200-level theater course, and an audition.

PHIL203: Philosophy of Religion Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course focuses on doctrines common to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: that there is one,
powerful, just God who created the universe, who has revealed himself to his creatures, and who
requires certain conduct of them. We explore various questions raised by these doctrines, including:
Can God's existence be reconciled with the existence of evil? Is there compelling evidence for God's
existence? Should the believer in God have evidence for the existence of God? Should the believer in
God not have evidence for the existence of God? What is the connection between religion and
morality? Religion and science? Do we, or could we, have any evidence for the existence of miracles?
Is there an afterlife? Is an afterlife desirable?
 
PHIL207: Daoism through Texts, Talks, and Taijiquan Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Daoism has had a major impact on Chinese intellectual and spiritual life for over two millennia. A
philosophy that emphasizes individual development, immersion in nature, the rejection of societal
convention, and the cultivation of natural virtue, it has been embraced by scholars, painters,
poets, and political thinkers. A religion derived from classical philosophy, folk practices,
Buddhism, and Yogic techniques, it perseveres in village rituals, global popular culture, and
dissident sects like China’s Falungong. Taijiquan is a Daoist system of moving meditation and a
martial art based on slowly flowing and subtly configured motions. Practiced worldwide, it is “the
dance of Daoism,” providing insight and personal experience of Daoist principles found in major
texts like the Dao De Jing, Zhuangzi, and Liezi. This course provides students with the opportunity
to read classical texts on Daoism and Taijiquan and to study the Thirteen Postures, a Yang style
form of Taijiquan. We also read Daoist nature poetry, Tang dynasty Daoist short stories, and an
account of the life of Guan Saihong, a Daoist master (and if possible, we will have Guan visit the
class). Our practice of Taijiquan and work on textual interpretation is supplemented with
free-ranging discussions (talks) on Daoism in the spirit of the School of Pure Conversation, a
Daoist group of the first millennium that emphasized free expression and a sharpening of the
imagination. No prerequisites.
 
PHIL213: Formal Logic Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Formal logic, also known as symbolic logic, involves the formalization of the logical rules implicit
in human reasoning. Its goal is to determine which forms of argument must produce true conclusions
when applied to true premises. Studying formal logic is a good way to become familiar with the
logical structure of sentences and arguments in natural languages. This in turn is useful in many
contexts. We will study the translation of sentences from natural languages into formal languages
and vice versa; the truth-functional operators (`and', `or', `not'), the conditional
(`if...then...'), and the biconditional (`if and only if'); propositional logic, which evaluates
arguments containing the truth-functional operators; predicate logic, which adds to propositional
logic rules concerning the quantifiers `all' and `some'; proofs of the consistency and completeness
of propositional and predicate logic; and modal logic (the logic of possibility and necessity).
Grades will be assigned on the basis of exams, quizzes, and homework assignments. Background in
logic or mathematics is helpful but not required.

Statistical thermodynamics connects the microscopic world with the macroscopic. The concepts of
microscopic states (configuration space) and equilibrium are introduced, from which follow
macroscopic quantities such as heat, work, temperature, and entropy. The partition function is
derived and used as a tool to study ideal gases and spin systems. Other topics include free energy,
phase transformations, chemical equilibrium, and quantum statistics and their application to
blackbody radiation, conduction electrons, and Bose-Einstein condensates. This course is recommended
for those with an interest in physical chemistry. Prerequisite: Physics 220; no previous course in
statistics necessary.
 
POLS100: Introduction to Politics Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course explores the concept, domain, and discipline of politics. We engage with various
attempts to define and determine the nature, form, content and extent of “the political.” In doing
so, we try to access the tense and conflicting sources of our own current understandings of
politics, its subjects and its objects. Working with and through texts over the course of the
semester, we come up with our own speculations about what constitutes the political; when, where,
and how politics happens; what it means to think, ask, and act politically; and what being a student
of politics may entail. This introductory course errs more on the side of questions rather than
answers, even if only to show that studying and thinking politics requires an ability to submit to
the fullness of a situation, to ask good questions, and to be patient and humble in the absence of
clear-cut answers. In this way, we equip ourselves with some of the conceptual, experiential, and
analytical tools to be put to use in our subsequent engagements with the study, activity, and
experience of politics. No prerequisites.
 
POLS210: Seminar in Global Politics Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course approaches global politics through some fundamental questions pertaining to our everyday
lives as citizens of this world, and the lenses used are multiple and integrated into a rigorous
grounding on questions of power, inequality, boundaries, justice, war, immigration, terrorism, as
well as other essential issues unspoken of within the grand worries of our times. It is designed as
a multi-perspectival introduction to what might seem like questions we have always thought about,
and what we already have opinions on. The course pushes us to acknowledge the premises of our
opinions, our minds already made, and our pathos already bought and sold! In order to confront
current problems, the course maintains, we must step assess, improve, and build the edifices and the
scaffoldings of both our thought and action. Our manner of approach is inseparable from the nature
and demands objects we encounter, so our relations to them are essential as we decide how to play a
 
role in the world, which we each do in our own way. The prerequisite for this course at the 200 level is completion of one social studies course. Prerequisites for this course at the 300 level are Completion of at least one 200-level social studies class and Completion of Sophomore Seminar or permission of instructor.

POLS330: Rousseau and Friends: Politics versus Antipolitics in Modernity Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course will involve close readings of the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau as an exemplary
purveyor of a form of political philosophy that makes a turn to the common, the ordinary, the
spontaneous, the accidental, the necessary, the bound, the free, the imaginary, the imaginable, the
whimsical, the paranoid, the sentimental, the beloved, and the unlovable in us, and tries to
conserve a notion of politics as a vital and human in response to forces of antipolitics. In doing
so, he certainly inherits a struggle that dates back to the earliest known western political
philosophy, but the mode in which he encounters and embodies this struggle contains clues to forces
and dynamics beyond him, as he becomes a veritable symptom--as both captive and critic--of
modernity. His life and his relations to others and to a society coming to understand itself as
modern are a significant part of the picture, thus there is no way to fully appreciate him without
attending to the circumstances and the incorporations that made Rousseau possible. Thus, the course
will also involve explicit attention to the predecessors, contemporaries, and successors of
Rousseau--he thus invites, even necessitates, a close analysis of the full scope of the modern and
its politics, by appreciating and assessing the trends that he instantiates, institutes, and reacts
to. Issues ranging from morality, religion, the human, language, self, identity, narrative,
performance, science, and aesthetics, to to the promise of freedom, community, transformation, and
revolution become etched within a philosophy that heralds the political and the social as its only
worthy site and destiny. Other options are not available, thus the urgency to turn to Rousseau in
what often feels like an infantilising and farcical political climate of tragic impossibility. His
untimely work and its genealogy, without merely requiring affirmation and agreement, affords us many
inlets into understanding the conditions in which we find ourselves. The fact that he is often
ostensibly misunderstood, even by those who bear great resemblance to him in many ways (like Marx
and Nietzsche) puts even more onus on us as readers, friends, and political beings! Students
interested in and prepared to read Rousseau in its original French, may be able to combine this with
a tutorial in French literature. POLS 100, POLS 225, or a 200-level course in any other social
science, literature, or art theory. Please consult with instructor if you are not sure.

SOC115: CP Race, Ethnicity, Class, and Gender Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course examines the "socially-constructed" nature of race, ethnicity and gender by focusing on
historical and contemporary articulations of race, ethnicity, class, and gender as they relate to
social outcomes. Students will explore the evolution of these categories, namely how and why they
were created, and how they have changed over time. Also, students will learn about racial and
ethnic discrimination in housing, employment, banking, the criminal justice system, and other
institutions. Students will also examine the history of gender inequality in American society.
Contemporary articulations of gender inequality will be examined in the labor market, unpaid labor
in the home, U.S. childcare policy, popular culture, and in interpersonal relationships.
Additionally, this course also examines the structural causes of class inequality. Students will be
exposed to the various competing theoretical perspectives regarding why we have poverty in the U.S.
and explore how changes in the structure of the nation's political-economy have increased class
inequality while creating the "middle class squeeze". The class will also discuss the "financial
elite" and their role in shaping policies that exacerbate class inequality. No prerequisites.
 
SOCS224: Globalization Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This is an intermediate level social sciences course. Globalization is one of the defining features
of the contemporary world, but there is considerable controversy regarding its nature, impact, and
future trends. The goal of this course is to clarify what globalization is and how it is affecting
communities around the world. This course draws upon various theoretical approaches from sociology
and related disciplines to explore various issues pertaining to globalization. Is globalization
really a new phenomena or have we seen this before? Does globalization ameliorate or increase race
and gender inequality? How has globalization impacted Third World countries? Is economic
globalization a naturally unfolding process or are there specific groups of people directing the
global economy? What impact has globalization had on workers and organized labor? Does the West
engage in cultural imperialism? This course examines these questions and more. Specifically, it
looks at how globalization has developed recently and how it has impacted economies, nation-states,
workers, gender relations, class inequality, culture, and other aspects of society. Prerequisites:
100-level Social Sciences Course
 
SOCS309: Quantitative Research Methods in the Social Sciences Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.

focus on quantitative methods. Students read about and practice designing, implementing, and
presenting findings from various types of research methodologies, including survey, experiment, and
observation. In addition, this course covers some general issues related to social science research,
 
including forming a hypothesis, ethics, and sampling. This course is heavily weighted toward a hands-on approach. The readings for the course are important and are required; however, it is assumed that a great deal of the learning takes place in actually attempting to design the studies. Prerequisite: Sophomore Seminar or permission of the instructor.
 
SOCS322: Proseminar II Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
Did God will the world into existence, and must it end with the Second Coming of Christ? Is the
class struggle the motor of history, and must the end of history (sometimes Marx called it
"pre-history") be Communism? Is competition the motor of evolution, making the fiercely competitive
civilization of late nineteenth century Europe the benchmark of human development? If we might balk
at the assumption that the sole purpose of our parents' lives has been to produce us, what has led
us so often, in our theologies, histories, and philosophies, to posit teleological explanations such
as the preceding for other human lives and events? It may be, in other words, that there was only
chaos "in the beginning;" that it heralds no destiny for humanity, divine, natural, or rational; and
that the attempt to discover the origins of things is the pursuit of a "chimera" (something hoped
for, but impossible to achieve). In order better to understand our persistent fascination with
beginnings and the ends they may (or may not) reveal to us, this course proposes a critical analysis
of creation stories we have told ourselves in the west, from the ancient Greeks and Hebrews to the
early decades of the twentieth century. We will study venerable tales of the dawn of time, modern
tales of founding fathers (or Bands of Brothers, in Freud's case), and meta-narratives of
biological, psychological, social, political and cultural development. Included will be texts such
as The biblical book of Genesis; Hesiod's Theogony; Rousseau's Discourse on Inequality; Darwin's
Origin of Species; Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals; Engels' Origin of the Family, Private Property
and the State; Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God; Lemaitre's A Homogeneous Universe of Constant
Mass and Growing Radius; "The Declaration of Independence;" and Freud's Totem and Taboo. These we
will read in conjunction with the works of contemporary thinkers (e.g. Michel Foucault, Stephen J.
Gould, E. O. Wilson, Julia Kristeva, Donna Haraway, Francis Fukuyama, Gayle Rubin, etc.) who extend
and/or critique the positions they take or imply, in an effort to appreciate how these stories of
creation can inform our contemporary understandings of the human condition and its prospects.

All first-semester sophomores are required to take Sophomore Seminar. This seminar explores the
development of some of the ideas central to our definition of the modern world. Its focus is on how
19th- and 20th-century thinkers confronted the accepted order of things, how they challenged
accepted ideas, and how they constructed the radically different conceptions of the world that we
have inherited. Texts include Darwin's The Descent of Man, Marx and Engels' The Communist
Manifesto, Nietzsche's The Genealogy of Morals, Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents, Tagore's
The Home and the World, DuBois' The Souls of Black Folk, Woolf's To the Lighthouse, and Kafka's The

THEA107: Studies in Production: Performance Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This module is concerned with the faculty-supervised, student-generated, dramatic endeavor. This
project is realized with limited technical support and is intended to be an intensive interface
between the student director, the student performers, and the faculty supervisor. The student actors
and stage managers involved are introduced to the principles and elements of performance without the
rigors of the faculty-directed, semester-long project. Generally, the content of the performance is
equivalent to a one-act play. This course includes some basic research and readings pertaining to
acting/directing theory and texts related to the performance material(s) themselves. A paper is due
at the end of the module and all students are expected to fulfill their assigned duties and adhere
to the rehearsal schedule. Almost all rehearsal occurs during class time, with the direct
supervision of the faculty instructor. This module is intended as an introductory course in the
theater program. It has no prerequisites for any participating student, except for the student
director. The student director must have the instructor's permission.

This is a hands on course where students will learn the process and general skills needed for
theatrical costume and prop execution from inception to finished product. They will learn to assess
a play for its needs; research time periods and places, and adapt them to a play. Strong emphasis
will be placed on planning effectively in order to produce real costumes and props for a given play,
as envisioned by a director, within a budget and a proscribed period of time. Some time will be
spent on getting input from a director, actors and other designers, using that information in a
design concept and getting final approval before starting. Along with methods of effective research
and planning, students will be exposed to the rudimentary skills needed to find, purchase, adapt
and/or construct costumes and props.

on a seminar and/or laboratory environment to foster greater understanding and comprehension of the
theories of theatrical production that then culminate in the mounting of a fully staged production.
Not a lecture course by any means, students would gain valuable experience in problem solving,
initiation of ideas and concepts and the development of these ideas and concepts through "hands on"
experiences. Integrally involved in the construction of scenery, acquisition and building of
 
properties, hanging/focusing of lighting fixtures and costuming, the student will gain valuable knowledge as to the actual implementation of these aspects of a production.

WS213: CP Women Write the World Home
Please note: Clicking the View Book Information button will open the bookstore website in a new window.
This course will introduce students to a series of contemporary women writers, some famous Nobel
prizewinners, others less well-known, all of whom have used writing as a means of “righting” the
world—working to strengthen and manifest their political ideals. Drawn from different countries,
cultural backgrounds, and languages; representing various facets of the interconnected global
struggles for social justice, environmental sustainability, anti-militarism and human rights; and
working in a range of literary genres (poetry, fiction, essay, journalism), these writers provide
inspirational models of the ways in which women activists have melded together their art and their
politics into effective rhetorical strategies. In addition to the primary texts, we will also
consider other media women have used as activist "texts" (for example, music, art, film, and
theater). Required coursework will include a project in which students will develop and undertake
their own approach to writing/righting the world, based on their own areas of interest and passion.
