This course investigates economic and ecological dynamics in the international arena, involving distinct political communities (i.e. nation-states) or other human groups (e.g. corporations, lobby groups, militias, etc.). Ecology is the study of living systems in interaction with physical resources; economics is the study of human activities organized around money; and the concept of “sustainability” in the former is analogous to the concept of “budget” in the latter. We will learn how these two fields overlap and how they affect the global distribution of power.

This course is an introduction to how race and gender interact with and shape politics around the world, relying on multiple critical approaches to politics that are relevant to the modern world. This course will emphasize a number of perspectives, including those of Black folks, Post-colonial scholars, Black feminists, Indigenous scholars, and other historically excluded peoples. We will also examine relationships with subjects such as political behavior, colonialism, incarceration, development, justice, human rights, and environmental concerns. Despite this diverse list of topics, not every possible facet of race, gender, and politics can be covered in a single semester. However, through our discussions, analyses, and syntheses, a central goal will be to help students understand broader political situations through the frameworks we examine.

The year 1922 saw the publication of two landmark literary works: James Joyce's Ulysses and T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land. While the two publications caused a stir, other noteworthy creative works came to light that year, as well, with artists and writers attempting to address the Great War, the 1918 pandemic, and, at least, in the U.S., racial inequality.
Now, a hundred years later, this class will treat 1922 as a Time Capsule of literary and artistic achievement and struggle. We’ll read texts, consider Modernist paintings, listen to Jazz tunes, and view a famous “silent” film--all from the year 1922.

Our Mission Possible is to explore engaging new apps for learning provided by the Microsoft Office 365 suite of apps. Over the past several semesters, we have learned much about engaging our digital native students, but we need to continue to increase our pedagogical toolkit. These exciting apps for learning engage students both inside and outside of the classroom in multi-faceted ways. Through our work together, we will use an inquiry model to experiment with various apps, including FlipGrid, NearPod, and other Office 365 apps of our choosing. Through our experiences and support of each other, our goal will be to grow in our pedagogical knowledge to choose and apply technology to increase student engagement and success. Mission Possible will meet monthly or more as a whole group, but will also work in smaller partner groups as a way to give feedback and support our learning. Your Mission Possible is to accept this challenge and join an engaging and enjoyable community of tech explorers.

Romantic and passionate love is mostly a cultural phenomenon that has been constructed over centuries of civilization and has become a subject of universal fascination. Love is a magnetic topic to investigate in a Humanities classroom as it addresses a web of other related issues and calls in numerous disciplines such as psychology, psychoanalysis, history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, literature, fine arts, music, and hard science such as biology and medicine. This course will focus mainly on the unmatched contribution by French culture to the shaping of love throughout the Western world, as French have “invented” love according to American scholar Marylin Yalom (2012), but it will also explore love in many other cultures including the USA, the Middle East and Asia. Students will discover the most famous love stories of all times that have inspired literary masterpieces and fairy tales as well as art works, musicians, and filmmakers. They will also get a better understanding of how this powerful feeling contributed to enduring myths that permeate contemporary culture and became among the greatest seminal ideas of the world. Past students wrote this on this class in their evaluation: "The most amazing course I've ever taken in my life," "a mind-altering experience," "captivating," "Surveys love throughout 2000 years," "truly exceptional," "a most memorable experience," "I'd take it again!," "by far the best course I have taken during my entire college experience," "moving", "engaging," "enriching," "crucial," "helped me understand other materials in my other classes," "I applied every lesson to my real life," "phenomenal," "It changed my life."

How do we understand the objects, buildings, and the ideas that we associate with design? What does it mean to be a designer and, as designers, how do we craft artifacts that exemplify Vitruvius’ call for utility, durability, and beauty? In this course, students will explore the reasons why some objects and buildings have had a lasting impact through readings and discussions of some of the most significant writings on craft and its relationship to design. Because the buildings and objects of design are best experienced in person, our discussions will take place in the buildings, museums, and workshops that best illustrate the ideas from our readings; the Galleria dell’Accademia, the Uffizi Gallery, the Museo Galileo, Brunelleschi’s Duomo, the Vespa Museum, and several others. This is a companion course to DSGN 471G – Field Analysis and it is strongly recommended that the two courses be taken together.
