ENVS 29903 - Urban Environments in Comparative Contex Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(PSCI)
URBAN ENVIRONMENTS IN COMPARATIVE CONTEX Most of the world’s poor live in cities, yet much of what we know about the politics of developing countries comes from villages and towns. Coincidentally, most of what we know about urban politics comes from American sociology. Is there - and should there be - a politics of the global urban south? This course is developed as an elective for junior and senior undergraduates across disciplines in the social sciences. It draws on theoretical texts from American urban politics and sociology, focusing on the creation of an urban “class” and the challenges of state services, public goods and policing in American cities. This outline provides four broad thematic areas: (1) How is infrastructure considered “ontologically prior” to politics?; (2) How are cities linked to and separated from rural areas?; (3) How does the female, black and queer experience in urban space inform urban politics?; (4) Urban and electoral politics - using cases from North America, Pakistan and India, one of the major modules of this course will examine the role of cities in setting the agenda for national politics. This course is being offered with the support of the Political Science department as a Comparative Politics offering. [HSS]

ENVS 39902 - Perspectives on Invasive Species Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
Perspectives on Invasive Species In this course, we will explore the concept of invasive species through a wide variety of fields, including ecology, history, sociology, and poetry. We will consider the definitions of native, alien, and invasive, asking what conditions lead to biological “invasions” across local, regional, and global scales. We will examine these ideas in relation to the complex history of human movement and changing relationship to the land. Focusing primarily on the U.S. (including Hawai?i) and the Caribbean, we will consider how invasion biology relates to the history of colonialism, immigration policy, and land management practices on those places.

GRMN 22809 - Hygiene: Bodies, Bacteria, and Moral Pan Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
Hygiene: Bodies, Bacteria, and Moral Panic in Germany, 1900-1945 In this course, students study the rise of the modern social hygiene movement in Germany from the turn of the 19thcentury through the Nazi period. Broadly defined as the health and wellness of the individual, hygiene was embraced by doctors, politicians, and everyday citizens to improve the individual for the benefit of the state. Hygiene not only encompassed modern living conditions-the management of sewage and clean water, the cleanliness of city streets and living quarters-but also daily concerns, from personal nutrition and clothing, to sport and the risk of disease, to more intimate issues of sex, marriage, and child-rearing. Analyzing medical treatises, popular literature, and films for “public hygiene enlightenment,” students will assess hygiene’s biopolitical implications. We explore how proponents of the social hygiene movement championed nudism, espoused “racial hygiene,” condemned prostitution, launched smoking-cessation campaigns, and backed the budding science of sexology, using hygiene to lay claims to the body for the supposed benefit of society. We will also consider hygiene’s manifestations in contemporary Germany, using the lens of hygiene to explore discussions surrounding immigration, sexuality, body optimization, and medical surveillance.

GRMN 34009 - German Comics & Social Justice Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
GERMAN COMICS & SOCIAL JUSTICE The multiple dimensions of comics make it a unique medium through which to discuss social justice issues. Unlike traditional texts, spatial and temporal fragmentation of social justice themes and visual cues on race, gender, class and ability asks readers to question assumptions, stereotypes and the impact of specific narrative strategies on social justice issues. This course looks at the case of German-language comics, with a primary focus on how comics fundamentally demonstrate the importance of representation, and how they communicate experiences that are often difficult to translate into words alone, such as depression, oppression, trauma and silence. Taught in German. [AH, GE, SJ]

GMDS 19901 - Digital Media in Everyday Lives Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
DIGIAL MEDIA IN EVERYDAY LIVES Why is the study of “everyday life” important, and how has digital media become an integral part of our everyday lives and identities? Everyday life is thus an important topic of study because it is the small, seemingly inconsequential actions that chisel out the ultimate shape that our lives take. Increasingly, digital media, social networks, and quick media applications have become an essential element of those day-to-day actions. In this course, we will situate digital media among our everyday lives and examine the shifts that these technologies have brought about in our daily routines. This class will offer insights into the ways we interact with media, including an investigation into how media become immersive and intimate. We will also focus extensively on the shift taking place around us right now: technology and the Internet is with us at all times due to the pervasiveness of mobile media in our lives. Finally, this course offers “an examination of how digital communication technologies create and promote digital identities and digital social spaces, as well as interpersonal and communal interactions.” [D]

GMDS 35101 - Horror and Mystery Film Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
HORROR AND MYSTERY FILM This course traces the development and popularity of two popular film genres, horror and mystery. While horror film explores our deepest personal anxieties and our most profound social fears, mystery films offer to escape to the world of crime and murder. As a result, while horror film tells us more about ourselves and our society than any other film genre, mystery films intrigue us with human psychology. This course is designed to provide a survey of horror and mystery films. This course applies the language of film analysis, and we will examine the social and cultural dimensions of the “fear” and “crime” response that horror and mystery films represent.

HIST 10102 - African Religions Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
African Religions This course is designed to provide students with an integrated and general understanding of the history of African religions by focusing on three religious traditions of Africa, namely, Primal (African Traditional Religion, ATR), Christianity and Islam. In so doing, we intend to look at the dynamics undergirding the three religious traditions and broadly probe the contours of negotiated spaces in changing historical contexts. The presentation of the course is premised on the fact that the study of religion in Africa is vitally essential to the understanding of the manifold features of the African experiences. A prominent theme of the course is: continuity and change in Africa’s religious traditions. We view religion as a system meaning formations (valuations) about the cosmos and the place of human life in it. This kind of approach provides the lens through which we can examine African religions in their diversities and complexities. [HSS]

HIST 10103 - Intro: History of African-American Educ Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(GLIS)
INTRO: HISTORY OF AFRICAN AMERICAN EDUCATION AND THE STRUGGLE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE From clandestine education during the Antebellum era to the student movement for black studies programs in the 1960s and 1970s, education has been at the center of social and political reform in the United States, particularly in the African American community. However, the structure of African American education has been influenced and shaped by several debates: public vs. private, masculine vs. feminine, secular vs. non-secular, and liberal arts vs. industrial, which has, for better or worse, shaped the black experience. The goal of the seminar is to introduce the history of African American education and unpack various events and perspectives in the community to show not only how education influenced their lives, but how African Americans used their institutions as workshops for economic, political and social equity. A variety of topics will be covered including gender, education, race, religion, social movements, policies, and politics. Primary and secondary sources, as well as movies, images, and short films, will be discussed in this course. Students are expected to complete an independent project in this course. [C, HSS]

HIST 10132 - Crime & Punishment in Historical, Perspective Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
(GLIS)
10132. CRIME & PUNISHMENT IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Our subject is the history of crime and punishment in broad perspective, centering our attention on crimes of violence and state punishments in early modern and modern Europe, with occasional comparative looks to the contemporary United States. The course is structured around a series of questions. How have levels of violence changed from the early modern to the modern period? How have changes in violence been explained? How have particular crimes been understood in particular places at particular times? How has the apparatus of justice functioned? What have been the forms and the meanings of judicial punishments? How shall we interpret representations of crime and justice in literature and the press? In pursuing these questions, we will examine the analysis and debates of prominent historians together with accessible primary sources. Readings will include: Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish, Peter Spierenburg, The Spectacle of Suffering, Eric Johnson, Urbanization and Crime in Germany, Emile Zola, Therese Raquin, and much more.

Students will explore not only how freedom expanded and contracted for African Americans across time and place, but the various strategies of protest and self-expression they used to gain equality and justice.
