First day attendance required; cross-listed with HIST 294-05 Since the nineteenth century, the struggles for racial equality and ethnic identity formation in the United States have been situated within formal and informal social movements. This course examines the central role of culture - including music, art, performance, literature, and media - in race-based activism. We will consider various aspects of the African American freedom struggle, Asian American and Latino/a activism, and the indigenous rights movement, paying particular attention to how culture functions as a tool for organizing, group cohesion, and outreach.

First day attendance required; cross-listed with EDUC 294-01 When we look at the shocking rates with which poor black and brown students are disproportionately punished, suspended and expelled from classrooms across the nation - and often, within a few months, drawn into the juvenile correctional system - we cannot help but wonder: What is going on, and what can we do to fix it? This lecture-based, introductory level course will focus on Zero Tolerance policies in the U.S. public schools and juvenile corrections as connected and overlapping sites of structural racism, social segregation, and potential violations of universal human rights. We will explore these concepts from a variety of inter/disciplinary and theoretical perspectives. The question of "civil rights and human rights" will provide a central frame for thinking about the fate of youth who are funneled into the pipeline. No prerequisites.
AMST 294-03	Mixed Race America: Identity, Culture, and Politics	M	07:00 pm-10:00 pm	HUM 215	SooJin Pate

ANTH 294-02	Museum Anthropology	TR	03:00 pm-04:30 pm	CARN 06A	Olga Gonzalez
This course introduces students to critical perspectives in museum studies. We will begin by examining the historical setting within which these institutions evolved, giving careful consideration to the relationship with anthropology and to how the discipline contributed to the construction of the "exotic" objects contained within the "cabinets of curiosities" that filled museums. In this course we will engage in both theoretical and practical terms with museums as public culture. Thus, we will pay close attention to the processes of collection, archives and exhibits in order to examine how curatorial practices and the gazes of visitors also contribute to make of museums sites for contestation, reconciliation, dialogue, fragmentation and community. The critical aspect of this course also includes perspectives of groups that are critical of museums but propose alternative "post-museum" experiences that enable multi-vocality and defy the monumentality of Western museum practice. Students are required to do two fieldsite visits for this course. Prerequisite: ANTH 111, Introduction to Cultural Anthropology.

ART 294-03	Art and Revolution in China	MWF	09:40 am-10:40 am	ART 113	Sonja Kelley
Cross-listed with ASIA 294-03 This course will focus on artistic development in China during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This has been a period of extensive political upheaval including the fall of imperial rule, the growth of warlordism, the war with Japan, a civil war, and the Communist rise to power. In addition, China has been transformed by rapid economic changes since the 1980s. In this course, we will explore the effect these changes have had on the visual arts in China, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, and film. This period provides an opportunity to examine how a country with long-standing artistic traditions can alter its visual language in response to great political, economic, and social change.
ART 294-05	Public Art	TR	01:20 pm-04:30 pm	ART 135	Stanton Sears
In this course, we will explore different forms of public art, and apply what we have learned to a number of studio projects. Beginning with an overview of public/civic artworks over a broad span of time, the course will include visits/guest lectures from regional artists working in the public realm, and will examine the following questions: What is public art? How does work created for a particular site or context differ from traditional studio practice? How are new technologies influencing the production of public artworks? What are the differences between officially sanctioned and "guerrilla" artworks? This is a studio course with a significant hands-on component. Students will develop their own temporary public artworks during the semester, with group discussions of their projects. Students will develop an awareness of the broad interdisciplinary approach this type of art-making demands.

CHIN 255-01	China on Screen	MWF	10:50 am-11:50 am	HUM 113	Xin Yang
Cross-listed with ASIA 255-01; first day attendance required; Monday evening screenings 7-10pm, Humanities 402. This course is an overview of China on the silver screen. Adopting the "nation" as its primary structuring device, the course examines how Chinese films represent the development and transformation of Chinese national identity. Topics under discussion include: how masculine and feminine virtues became emblems of a nation striving for modernity; how films were politically appropriated for socialist construction; how the revolutionary past has been cinematically framed, remembered and critiqued in the post-Mao era; and how China's deep tradition was consciously or unconsciously re-created and revised as a spectacle to engage the curious gaze of the global market. Coverage begins with silent film and extends to the fifth generation directors, underground filmmaking, and the revival of marital arts genre in greater China area. Feature films from mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong will be screened and discussed. Secondary articles will also be assigned in conjunction with the films. No prior knowledge of China or Chinese language is required.

Cross-listed with LING 494-02; How and why did the first translators who began to translate English into Chinese and Chinese into English, choose the texts they translated? What problems, both linguistically and culturally, did (and do) they encounter? Did the same issues arise when translating into Chinese and English, and how were they respectively addressed? Who did the translating? This course approaches the topic of Chinese translation simultaneously from a socio-historical, empirical, & theoretical perspective. At the same time, we will study and back-translate existing translations, and attempt our own translations; Prerequisite: 2 Years of Chinese

What characterizes literary responses to collective or individual crises? This course will lead us down a path of investigation of ancient literature, primarily poetic, generated out of national or private catastrophe. We start in the east, the Mesopotamian civilization of the 3rd millennium B.C.E. and move through time and space, culminating in classical Arabic elegy and lament. This course will be framed by a variety of questions, foremost of which is what is crisis literature. Other questions of import focus on stylistic features of the genres, nature of the intended audience, the topoi of sorrow, gendered rhetoric, portrayal of the enemy/source of crisis, ritual function of the literature, concepts of self/group, intertextuality and referential language, to name but a few. We will use as our primary sources English translations of the Akkadian, Sumerian, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin and Arabic texts. Prerequisite: One of the following or permission of the instructor: CLAS 121 Greek World, 122 Roman World, 127 Women, Gender and Sexuality in Ancient Greece and Rome, 129 Greek Myths, 145 Pagans, Christians and Jews, 135 India and Rome; RELI 100 Introduction to Islam, 120 Hebrew Bible, 121 New Testament.

This is a unique class. Nearly all classes are taught by former Macalester students, most of whom graduated with an Economics major. These guest professors generally will share their post-Macalester career and educational journey with you, then spend more time talking about their current or most recent business venture (some might be nonprofit), and then focus on a particular transaction or "deal" that they were part of. Most of the presentations probably will be finance oriented. Students in the class are evaluated four ways: The first is class participation - they are expected to be excited about not only being in the class, but meeting some of the guest professors either over lunch or dinner with a few other students from the class. Students will work in 2-person teams to daily write up a short overview of what they heard and learned from each guest speaker. That is due prior to the next class. Again working in 2-person teams students will research and write a term paper whose theme is triggered by one of the guest speaker's lectures. Finally, there will be an all-inclusive final exam based on the speakers' remarks. It is important to the professors that there be some juniors and sophomores in the class. To the extent there is an excess demand to get into it by seniors (we hope the total enrollment is not over 25), we will hold back senior enrollment to between 15 and 20. Prerequisite: minimum requirement to take the class is Economics 113 (Financial Accounting), 119 (Principles of Economics), and one other course in Economics.

The goal of the course is to understand and apply dynamic general equilibrium models to analyze a variety of macroeconomic issues. With the help of a computer, we will “replicate” a number of key journal articles published in the last 20 years; emphasis will be given to New Keynesian and financial frictions models. The course puts equal weight in theory and applications: by the end of the course, students should be able to construct and solve dynamic models for use in their own projects. MATLAB will be used extensively yet no prior knowledge is assumed. Prerequisites: Econ 371, 381, and Math 237. Math 236 recommended but not required. Lacking these prerequisites, permission of instructor required.

ENGL 105-01	American Voices	TR	09:40 am-11:10 am	MAIN 001	Daylanne English
First day attendance required In this introductory English course, we will listen to a range of voices in U.S. and will read a rich variety of experiences and imaginings of what it means to be American in the contemporary United States. We will organize our readings according to themes about time: 1) coming to terms with an often traumatic collective or individual past, 2) imagining the future, and 3) representing an "ethnic" American self in the present. In the first section of the course, we will read short stories and novels by Sherman Alexie, Louise Erdrich, Lan Cao, Tim O'Brien, and Edwidge Danticat. In the second section, we will read speculative fiction by African American authors, including Octavia Butler, Samuel Delany, and Colson Whitehead. In the last section of the course, we will read short stories and novels about contemporary Chicana and Latin American identities, by authors such as Sandra Cisneros and Junot Diaz. Course requirements include three 5-7 page essays, an in-class presentation, and participation in discussion. This course fulfills the literature by U.S. writers of color/diasporic/postcolonial literature requirement for English majors.
ENGL 135-01	Poetry	MWF	09:40 am-10:40 am	CARN 05	Neil Chudgar
This course is an introduction to poetry. This is its grand question: By what specific means can language make meaning? To find answers-and there are many-we will read broadly in the English verse of a period during which poets arranged words in a staggering variety of ways: the era of revolutionary change extending from the late Renaissance through the Enlightenment to early romanticism, from Shakespeare through Pope and Swift to Wordsworth. The men and women whose poems we'll read (some famous, many obscure) use language to make meanings about a vast range of topics, in an amazing range of ways, to a startling range of purposes. They discuss theology and syphilis, trees and injustice, the universe and a single pearl; they construct metaphors, pictures, emblems and paradoxes; they curse and pray, moralize and seduce, describe and defy description. Our aim will be to understand how the poems we read make the meanings they do, so that you may learn new ways of using language to make meanings of your own-this semester and forever. You'll earn your grade for the course by good-faith participation in our class discussion, by submitting brief response papers as assigned, and by completing four small works of different kinds. You will be able, within bounds, to choose the kinds of works that best suit your interests and abilities: you might choose, for example, to recite poetry from memory; to discover and report on interpretable objects from beyond our syllabus; or to interpret the poetry we encounter in poetry of your own. This course counts toward the English major as an introductory course. But Poetry is emphatically comprehensive in its welcome: students of all majors, all years, and all intellectual persuasions will find here both instruction and delight.
ENGL 136-01	Drama: Staging Violence	MWF	10:50 am-11:50 am	MAIN 002	Casey Jarrin
Introduction to drama, with attention to genealogies of literary/dramatic form, performance practice, and modes of stage/screen adaptation. Particular focus on the staging of physical, psychological, and political violence, across a range of national and cultural landscapes (Irish, German, Chilean, Argentinian, Serbian, Congolese, South African, British, American). We'll explore the spectacle and choreography of on-stage violence, the ethics of violent action and its representation, violence in language, and the relation between acts of storytelling and bloodletting, confession and interrogation, silence and speech/action. In addition to encounters with violence and its staging in Greek and Elizabethan contexts (Aeschylus, Oresteia; Euripides, Hippolytus; Shakespeare, Titus Andronicus), we'll examine influential, iconoclastic, and "in-your-face" works of twentieth-century drama. Potential plays: Oscar Wilde, Salome; Samuel Beckett one acts and Endgame/Happy Days; Peter Weiss, The Investigation; Frank McGuinness, Someone Who'll Watch Over Me; Ariel Dorfman, Death and the Maiden; Lynn Nottage, Ruined; Sarah Kane, Blasted, Phaedra’s Love, 4:48 Psychosis; John Osborne, Look Back in Anger; Edward Albee, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?; Enda Walsh, The Walworth Farce; Martin McDonagh, The Pillowman, Lieutenant of Inishmore. Required screenings and performances in the Twin Cities. Films include adaptations of stage plays (Julie Taymor, Titus; Ken Russell, Salome’s Last Dance; Mike Nichols, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), as well as those which revisit/reenact historical scenes of violence (Oliver Hirschbiegel, Das Experiment; Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds; Pablo Larraín, Tony Manero; Juan Jose Campanella, El Secreto de sus Ojos; Vladimir Perisic, Ordinary People; Jeff Malmberg, Marwencol). Course fulfills the Intro/Gateway requirement for the English major.

Cross-listed with ENVI 262-01; permission of instructor required for ACTC students This semester we study five modern Nature poets: Gerard Manley Hopkins, Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, Wallace Stevens, Alice Oswald. These five will allow us to investigate the poetic, religious, and cultural traditions that shape our range of ideas about what the term "Nature" refers to, with what stances poets respond to it (with praise and delight, or expansiveness, or a sense of mortality, for example), and how we might refine our own sense of nature so as to dwell in it and do right by it. No previous experience with poetry is necessary; this course aims to provide a good introduction to poetry for general readers, as well as to provide a rich array of poetic traditions for English majors. This course fulfills the Humanities requirement for Environmental Studies majors. This course serves as an elective for English majors.
ENGL 280-01	Crafts of Writing: Poetry	M	07:00 pm-10:00 pm	MAIN 111	Kristin Naca
Students build a vocabulary based in the conventions of poetry. These terms guide us in the development of a critical practice for writing poems. That practice includes: read and write about several collections of contemporary poetry; study and experiment writing various forms and modes of poetry; workshop peer work; and experience lectures and readings performed by published poets. Texts include: Aslin’s A Moon Over Wings, Bok Lee's Whorled, Cisewski's Ghost Fargo, Derricotte's Captivity, Erdrich's National Monuments.

John Milton's epic Paradise Lost will be at the center of this course about seventeenth-century English literature, which arose amidst great religious tensions, the emergence of modern science, an English Civil War, even the beheading of a monarch. We’ll study books from the Bible and books of early scientific prose, major religious lyrics and love lyrics of the period, and of course most of John Milton's poetry. This will give us a wide range of writers, genres, and styles - Galileo as well as Milton, biblical books as well as amorous lyrics, small and large forms. Throughout the course we'll be inquiring how notions of liberty and revolution fueled not only political thinking but also religious debates, scientific thinking, and controversies about gender; we'll also study how a desire to restore Eden informs the writing of the seventeenth century. This course fulfills a pre-1900 requirement for English majors.
ENGL 321-01	Eighteenth-Century British Novels	MWF	01:10 pm-02:10 pm	THEATR 204	Neil Chudgar
This is a course about the origins of a strange fact of modern life: we are surrounded by long prose accounts of the lives and experiences of ordinary human beings who never actually existed. Such accounts are so common today as to seem natural and necessary, but that was not always so. "The novel," as we call it, is a cultural form with a history-and that history is bound up with our deepest questions about who we can be, how we must behave, and what we may expect from our lives in the modern world. To explore that history, we will read four important stories about make-believe people: Defoe's Roxana (a pretend celebrity memoir from 1724), Richardson's Pamela (a forged collection of letters from 1740), Fielding's Joseph Andrews (a "heroical, historical prosaic poem" from 1742), and Burney's Evelina (a "novel" from 1778). We'll think through these fictions with the help of eighteenth-century theorists of persons (like Locke, Hume, and Bentham) and more recent theorists of literary forms (like Watt, McKeon, and Armstrong). Our primary goal will be to learn about how eighteenth-century stories about imaginary people inform the stories we tell about people (ourselves and others) today. You will complete brief weekly response papers and one longer formal work, which may take the form of an essay or a work of prose fiction. This is a course in eighteenth-century British literature, and will contribute the literary-history requirement of the English major. Creative writers are particularly encouraged to enroll; so too are novel-readers, historians of culture, social scientists, and persons who are interested in the lives of others.
ENGL 331-01	Nineteenth Century British Novel	TR	09:40 am-11:10 am	OLRI 270	Robert Warde
First day attendance required. This survey of the nineteenth century British novel will focus on four works from the Victorian period: Charles Dickens, Dombey and Son; Elizabeth Gaskell, North and South; George Eliot, Middlemarch; and Thomas Hardy, The Woodlanders. We will consider these novels as reflections of their era, as crafted works of art, and as embodiments of human experience. Four pieces of writing are required during the course of the semester - a combination of in-class exams and papers according to student preference. Periodic, very brief objective quizzes will manifest themselves along the way. Class format is discussion based, and both attendance and participation are expected.

ENGL 380-01	Postmodern African American Literature	TR	01:20 pm-02:50 pm	MAIN 001	Daylanne English
Cross-listed with AMST 380-01 In this topics course, we will closely read a wide range of innovative, possibly "postmodern" texts written by African American authors in the last twenty years. We will attend to literary form and to the politics of form, considering how our authors resist realism and the content of racial protest, even as they frequently engage questions of race, identity, and power. Texts will include novels, short stories, comics, and poetry, as well as some film and music. Authors will include Samuel Delany, Colson Whitehead, C. Van Jordan, Harryette Mullen, Toni Morrison, and John Edgar Wideman, among others. We will ask a number of questions as we read: What does it mean to be writing and studying African American literature in an era often termed "post-racial"? What happens when African American literature becomes "unnationed" or unmoored from time? How does traumatic content shape literary form? What do we make of the contemporary resurgence of Afro-Futurism? How might radical interdisciplinarity affect meaning and aesthetic form in our texts? These and many other questions, generated by the class itself, will guide our semester's exploration, as will our reading of much relevant literary criticism and theory. Requirements for the course include: presenting extensively on one of our texts, writing a brief response paper for most of our primary readings, and writing one brief 5-page paper as well as a longer, 12-15 page paper. This course fulfills the literature by U.S. writers of color/diasporic/postcolonial literature requirement for English majors.

ENGL 394-01	LA and the American Dream	TR	03:00 pm-04:30 pm	MAIN 009	Robert Warde
First day attendance required; mandatory film screenings TBA One out of eight Americans lives in California; Los Angeles has become the second largest city in the country; and United States history involves, among other things, a steady movement of people both East to West and South (Mexico) to North. In this course we will examine the growth and nature of Los Angeles (its need for water, its automobiles, its film industry, its ethnic makeup, its lurking potential for natural disaster) and this city's relationship to the evolving identity of the nation as a whole. It will be a study in the significance of place, the human and environmental impact of urban development, and the characteristics of the American dream. The focus is on literature, and the tentative reading list is as follows: Carey McWilliams, Southern California: An Island on the Land; Nathanael West, The Day of the Locust; Chester Himes, If He Hollers Let Him Go; James Ellroy, Black Dahlia; Joan Didion, Play It As It Lays; Mike Davis, City of Quartz; Anna Deavere Smith, Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992; Karen Tei Yamashita, Tropic of Orange; Brando Skyhorse, The Madonnas of Echo Park; D. J. Waldie, Holy Land; and David Ulin's edited collection, Another City: Writing from Los Angeles. A companion film series includes feature films such as Sunset Boulevard, Mulholland Drive, Chinatown, Blade Runner, L. A. Confidential, Boys n the Hood, Clueless, and The Big Lebowski, supplemented by some seldom-viewed documentaries, Kent MacKenzie's The Exiles and Thom Andersen's Los Angeles Plays Itself, among others. A music component will embrace a wide range of artists from Randy Newman, Madonna, Dave Alvin, and the Distillers, to Guns N' Roses, NWA, and 2Pac. This is a discussion-based course, and evaluation depends on attendance and participation, plus a combination of exams and papers, according to student preference, these written assignments to total three. Occasional, very brief objective quizzes will measure the degree of enthusiasm with which students approach each day's assignment.

Permission of instructor required. From 20th-century detective fiction, crime scene photography, and "true crime" novels through international film, crime journalism, and the television obsession with forensics, in this seminar we'll examine transformations in the crime genre in text and image. We'll encounter Poe's short stories; James Cain's hard-boiled novel Double Indemnity (inspired by the 1927 Ruth Snyder murder trial); Weegee's New York crime photography; Patricia Highsmith's Talented Mr. Ripley; Truman Capote's genre-defying In Cold Blood; Don DeLillo's portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald, Libra, with Abraham Zapruder's 8mm film of the Kennedy assassination; Michael Ondaatje's Collected Works of Billy the Kid; Eoin McNamee's Resurrection Man, a recasting of sectarian murders committed by Belfast's Shankill Butchers; Errol Morris and Philip Gourevitch's anatomy of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, Standard Operating Procedure; as well as selections from Norman Mailer's Executioner's Song, Vincent Bugliosi's Helter Skelter, and David Simon's Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets. In dialogue with these texts, photographs, and historical/theoretical contexts, we'll look at classic film noir, international crime cinema, and television crime sagas (Dexter; The Sopranos; Homicide: Life on the Street; The Wire; CSI; The Shield; Twin Peaks). Potential films include Double Indemnity (Billy Wilder); Rope or Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock); Naked City or Rififi (Jules Dassin); Plein Soleil (Rene Clement); Bonnie and Clyde (Arthur Penn); Rosemary's Baby (Roman Polanski); The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola); Mean Streets (Martin Scorsese); Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino); Silence of the Lambs (Jonathan Demme); Zodiac (David Fincher); Ichi the Killer (Takashi Miike); Red Riding Trilogy; Mesrine: Killer Instinct (Jean Francois-Richet); The Thin Blue Line or Standard Operating Procedure (Errol Morris). Note: This is a senior seminar designed for senior English majors. Students will be responsible for weekly journals, an annotated bibliography, and a 20-25 page final project.
ENGL 406-01	Projects in Creative Writing	TR	03:00 pm-04:30 pm	MAIN 011	Kristin Naca
First day attendance required The capstone for majors in the creative writing track. Students examine areas of the writer's professional practice. Each student strategizes a writing plan for a longer manuscript or collection of work. Then, executes the plan. In the process, students research and collect a bibliography of work that informs their writing project. They draft pages and workshop those pages. Students also practice writing critically about his/her own work, using the language of conventions. Then, extends the discussion in the form of proposal, grant, and/or program artist statement. We read texts about craft by published authors and research current literary journals in the various field. We read one long piece or collection of each poetry/fiction/non-fiction. Finally, students may apply for funding to attend the AWP Conference in Chicago (February). This activity is limited to individuals with demonstrated interest, effort, and availability.

Permission of instructor required; cross-listed with PSYC 294-02; first day attendance required; permission of instructor required for ACTC students This course is an in-depth psychological analysis of consumerism and the human relationship to "stuff". Consumerism, materialistic aspirations, and "affluenza" (the disease of affluence) all exert profound and often undesirable effects on both people's individual lives and on society as a whole. These phenomena, and the consumerist culture they are embedded in, affect our psyches, our families, our local communities, the peoples of the world, and the integrity of our ecological system. This course draws from a range of theoretical, clinical, and methodological approaches to explore several key questions: Where does the drive to consume originate? Do we control our consumer behavior, or does it control us? Is it possible to live in our culture and not be a consumer? What are the alternatives to the status quo? We will analyze and discuss both the scholarly ramifications of these ideas and also how to act upon them in our lives and society more broadly.

FREN 307-01	Culture Francaise: La civilisation francaise en evolution de Lascaux a 1789	MWF	01:10 pm-02:10 pm	HUM 216	Martine Sauret
The course La civilisation francaise en evolution from Lascaux to 1789 offers non-French students the possibility to acquaint the fundamental notions that form the basis of the bagage culturel that their French counterparts would have. In the case of 'small c' contemporary culture, this goal makes explicit those everyday aspects of life that are truly second nature to the individual and to which he or she rarely gives much thought. The class will open with a Panorama de la France. This preliminary section provides a brief and schematic overview of France, including descriptions of basic geographical features and sociopolitical structures, a listing of significant historical milestones and maps of France and the Francophone world. The body of the class consists of six dossiers, each treating a particular aspect of French culture: Dossier un: la présence du passé describes examples of the physical manifestations of French History that provide constant reminders to the French of their rich and varied civilization. Dossier deux: quelques personnages clés is composed of a series of portraits of personalities that the French learn, from the early age, to identify as key figures who played pivotal roles in the creation of their culture. Dossier trois: de la monarchie a la Republique traces the evolution of political institutions in France from the beginnings of the monarchy and the establishment of the Ancien Régime through the death of that system and the progressive maturation of republican ideals. Dossier quatre: La societe describes the development of social structures, including the changing role of women in France, from the simplistic and hierarchical society of the Middle Ages to the complex and shifting social situation of the modern world. Dossier cinq: les mouvements et les idees provides a sketch of key philosophical movements and intellectual concepts as they evolved. Dossier six; les mouvements litteraires et arttstiques offers an overview of French cultural life in all its diversity, focusing on pivotal authors, artist and works. The class prerequisite is French 204.
FREN 415-01	20th Century Literature and Cinema: The century of ruptures and sutures: The Avant-Garde (s)	TR	01:20 pm-02:50 pm	OLRI 170	Joelle Vitiello
First day attendance required The course will expose students to some of the most important writers, poets, playwrights, and thinkers of the twentieth-century. It will serve both as a survey of the most important literary, artistic, and intellectual movements and as a sampling of the most brilliant and innovative prose, poetry, and performance. The objective of the course is to familiarize students with some of the cultural productions that have been strongly influenced by scientific, linguistic, psychoanalytical, colonial, anti-colonial, post-colonial, racial, and gender-based theories of the century. Virtually all literary and artistic genres were affected by the ruptures caused by various wars. Academic rules were subverted, and new forms of expression emerged - several times. Moving images were but one of the technological inventions that allowed people to attempt to restore their identities, national and individual. Through the study of Surrealism, the use of social realism narratives, the Absurd, Negritude, Existentialism, the New Wave and the New Novel, structuralism, post-structuralism and deconstruction, the impact of feminism on language, the course will expose students to readings of texts and images that represent the long lasting effects of the twentieth-century ruptures on writers and artists. Some of the films viewed for the course include the Freres Lumiere first films, Georges Melies, Louis Feuillade, Bunuel, Renoir, Jean Rouch, Jean-Luc Godard, Michel Drach, Alain Resnais, Marguerite Duras, Guy Debord, Ariane Mnouchkine and Sembene Ousmane. Readings include surrealist poetry, Samuel Beckett, Helene Cixous, Andree Chedid, Sembene Ousmane, Assia Djebar, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Marguerite Duras, Michel Butor, Jean Genet, Delphine de Vigan, Annie Ernaux, Sembene Ousmane, Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida. The course is taught in French. Prerequisite: 306 or permission of instructor
FREN 416-01	French Interdisc Study: Haiti: Haitian Culture, Human Rights, and Humanitarianism	TR	09:40 am-11:10 am	HUM 402	Joelle Vitiello
First day attendance required The January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti, that killed more than 250.000 people, brought a lot of attention to the country traditionally described as "the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere." This course aims to provide students interested in humanitarianism, human rights, the Caribbean, cultural studies, and French and Francophone Studies an introduction to Haiti and Haitian culture throughout its history, including pre-and post-earthquake culture. It also aims at providing a thoughtful critical frame to the extraordinary humanitarian situation after the earthquake and the responses it generated at the Haitian and international levels. Throughout the course, students will become more familiar with Haitian history, its rich cultural production, and the relevance of culture to human rights representations, abuses, and responses to abuses as well as its relevance to various humanitarian crises in Haiti, especially the post-earthquake daily situation. Students will also gain knowledge about Haitian society, local organizations working in human rights and humanitarianism, the geography of Human Rights, local IDP environment, and humanitarian distribution of resources, and they will acquire the critical tools necessary to understand, assess, and participate in the current debates about human rights and humanitarianism practices in Haiti (including issues related to health, gender, economic rights, education, and access to resources of any kind). Materials for the course include interdisciplinary readings and reports (including various human rights reports, humanitarian assistance reports and updates, C.L.R. James, Paul Farmer, Michael Dash, Peter Hallward, Elizabeth McAlister, Edwidge Danticat, Myriam Chancy, Beverly Bell, Jacqueline Regis, and Anne-Christine d'Adesky among others) and films (by Raoul Peck, Anne Lescot and Laurence Magloire, Rachel Magloire, Jonathan Demme, Maya Deren). Speakers will include human rights lawyers, writers, and humanitarian aid specialists about and from Haiti. Technology permitting, students will meet members of the Haitian community involved in relief work via Skype. This course will be taught in English. Students taking it for credit counting toward the French major or Minor will be able to read some of the material and conduct their research in French. Students interested in doing an internship with one of the many organizations in the Twin Cities linked with Haiti should speak to the instructor. Approved for use on the Human Rights and Humanitarianism concentration.

GEOG 248-01	The Political Geography of Nations and Nationalism	TR	03:00 pm-04:30 pm	CARN 05	Daniel Trudeau
First day attendance required This course investigates how nations and nationalism affect social identity and the organization of territory in our world. Political geography offers concepts and approaches to help us think through the complex intersections of people, place, and politics that constitute the struggle to create and maintain nation-states. Thus the first part of the course is devoted to enhancing your understanding of core concepts, such as nation, state, territory, sovereignty, scale, borders, and geographical imagination. The ultimate purpose of this first part of the course then is to assemble a framework for understanding why our contemporary organization of territory throughout the world looks the way it does. Equipped with these foundations, we explore topics in the second part of class that help you think critically about the stability of nations and the organization of territory into the nation-state system as well as challenges to these institutions. Towards this end, you will also conduct an independent research project on a single group's attempt to create a nation-state. Throughout this course, we will bring our investigations to bear on everyday life, exploring how nations and nationalism shape our world in dramatic and mundane ways. No prerequisites. (4 Credits)

Permission of instructor required; first day attendance required Castles and Miller argue that we are living in the age of migration - a period in history when a greater proportion of the human population is on the move than ever before. This course examines migration through a geographic lens seeking to elucidate the connections between theory and the changing and complex lived experiences of migrants. We will consider different approaches to studying migration including primary migration theories, the analyses of major flows, and micro models of individual decision-making behavior, life course and livelihood perspectives and the implications of these movements for both sending and receiving communities. We will pay particular attention to gendered perspectives and experiences with migration, transnationalism, and the migration-development nexus that permeates migration dialogues. Students with interests or experiences pertaining to different world regions are encouraged to bring these perspectives to class in order that we may more fully appreciate how different migration trajectories differentially affect individuals, places and the theories we utilize to understand this dynamic process. This course is organized as a senior capstone seminar. As such, we will utilize readings, discussion, lectures, guest speakers and local events to enhance our understanding of the many dimensions and perspectives inherent in study of migratory movements, at scales ranging from global to local. As you will come to appreciate, migration has many dimensions and is influenced as much by global structural processes and constraints as by local ethnic, cultural, and economic geographies.

GERM 394-01	Concepts of Freedom from Erasmus to Agamben	MWF	02:20 pm-03:20 pm	HUM 215	David Martyn
Taught in English "Free choice" is a concept we can neither explain nor do without. Democracy, the "free" market, the various emancipation movements of the 20th century: these and other institutions could not function without the assumption that humans are free agents; but writers from Luther on have been unable to formulate a coherent theory of freedom. This course will explore the history of the concept of freedom in key German and European authors from Erasmus, Luther, Leibniz, and Kant to contemporary critical theorists such as Foucault, Badiou, and Agamben. Particularly in view of the current function of "freedom" as a political rallying call of the American right (think Tea Party), the course aims at developing a historical awareness of what the word "freedom" has meant and can mean today. Discussion topics will include free will in religious and in secular thought; freedom and natural causality in Leibniz and Kant; the questionable freedom of "coming out" (Foucault); art, science, politics, and love as forms of freedom (Badiou); freedom and states of exception (Agamben). Selected readings from the authors mentioned. Course requirements: one reading response per week, two 6-page papers. The course is taught in English. Counts towards the Critical Theory Concentration as a core course.
GERM 488-01	Senior Seminar	MWF	10:50 am-11:50 am	HUM 227	Rachael Huener
Taught in German This seminar will take as its starting point the "68ers" or West German "student movement" of the late 1960s. As in the United States, the late 60s and early 70s were a time of generational tension and political activism and occasional violence in the Federal Republic of Germany. Both the American and German 60s movements criticized the disparity between the "1st" and the "3rd" worlds, gender discrimination, exploitation of the environment, and the imperialist actions of the U.S. in Southeast Asia. Germany’s 60s-generation grappled additionally with a backward-looking university system, an unfolding nuclear energy industry precisely on the border of the cold war, a society that had, in the minds of some, embraced consumerism as the predominant virtue of democracy, and the as yet barely discussed Nazi past. As the movements comprising the Studentenbewegung ebbed in the 1970s, a number of radicalized participants turned to terrorism in the RAF (Rote Armee Faktion ), and many more joined the "establishment" in one form or another. The 68ers and the issues of that era have shaped much of the social policy, political activism and cultural expression of Germany today: Many ongoing efforts for gender equality and gay and lesbian rights have their roots in this era. The Green Party is an outcome of 60s environmentalism and anti-nuclear activism. Various social contracts ranging from workers rights to health care have been shaped by conscensuses formed several decades ago. Even the coming to grips with the Nazi past (Vergangenheitsbewältigung) has in the wake of the 60s critique of the national silence become an essential component of school curricula, national memorialization, and journalistic watchfulness. The student movement of the 60s did not resolve every conflict in West Germany, but it provoked the uncomfortable questions and framed many of the debates that make Germany what it is today. This seminar will examine the issues, ideologies, and cultural representations of this era. In addition to historical and theoretical texts, we will read novels and short fiction such as Stefan’s Hautungen and Bolls Du fahrst zu oft nach Heidelberg, watch films such as Verhoeven's Das schreckliche Madchen and Von Trotta's Marianne u. Juliane, and examine visual art and other artifacts. Participants will develop a significant research paper on a topic related to this era or to the issues of these movements, and present regularly on the progress of their work. The course will also include library research assistance, a field trip, and guest speakers. Taught in German Prerequisite: At least one 360s-level German course. This course may be taken in the junior year.

In the Amazonian oral tradition, identity is constructed in the daily interaction with the environment: the respect for the land, the forest, the water, and all the natural resources. In this course students will learn about indigenous cosmology and history, current socio-political situations and environmental issues, and the struggles for human rights and cultural survival through the voices of Amazonian authors and artists. Open to students from different disciplines and backgrounds. Taught in Spanish.

Primary sources are drawn from Native origin and migration stories, and oral histories. Secondary sources include studies of Ojibwe spearfishing, Indigenous religious, cultural and language revitalization movements, and the Dakota War of 1862 as both an event and remembrance. We investigate other themes such as European contact, labor, gender roles, material culture, removal, federal relationships, land tenure, treaty rights, and federal recognition.

HIST 294-01	Commodities and Exchange in Urban Africa	MWF	01:10 pm-02:10 pm	MAIN 001	Lacy Ferrell
Whether talking about slaves, toothpaste, or "modernity," people, things, and ideas are commodified and traded, particularly in urban environments where different cultures and peoples meet. In this course we will explore different types of commodities and exchanges in African cities from the slave trade through the twentieth century. Assuming that a commodity is "anything that one 'trades' or 'deals'," and expanding that to include ideas, we will study everything from human bodies and consumer goods to leisure activities and status symbols in the context of cultural exchange in urban environments.
HIST 294-02	Schooling and Childhood in Anglophone Africa	MWF	02:20 pm-03:20 pm	MAIN 003	Lacy Ferrell
In this course we will engage with schooling in Anglophone Africa as it influenced and was influenced by various ideas of education, childhood, and gender in Britain and local African societies. Though we will consider broader patterns in education and schooling in the British Empire in Africa, we will focus on the Gold Coast (Ghana) as a case study for the various aspects of educational experience. Topics we study will include: writing, literary and vocational education, missionary education, gendered schooling and education, and the transformative effects of schooling on social, political, and economic structures.
HIST 294-03	Conversion and Inquisition: Religious Change 1550-1750	TR	03:00 pm-04:30 pm	MAIN 002	Karin Velez
Cross-listed with RELI 294-06 What causes people to change their religious beliefs? How have societies handled those who do alter their spiritual attitudes? This course focuses on several dramatic case studies of men and women who self-consciously changed their religion during the turbulent period of imperial encounters between the mid-1500 and the 1700s. Among others, we will examine and interrogate reports of converts to Christianity including Jewish and Muslim prisoners of the Inquisition, captives of Mediterranean pirates, and the nearly canonized Mohawk convert, Catherine Tekakwitha. We will consider how violence, national loyalities, gender, charisma, local power dynamics, environmental upheaval, and serendipity affected the choices and fates of these converts.
HIST 294-04	American Indians in American Thought	MWF	03:30 pm-04:30 pm	MAIN 002	Scott Shoemaker
American Indians factor heavily within American thought. Representations of American Indians have served to legitimate the foundations of the United States and American identity, however American Indians have also engaged in American thought as an anti-colonial endeavor. Beginning with constructions of American Indians in the colonial period to recent issues of representation in the realm of mascots, this course traces the genealogy of how America has constructed and appropriated an "Indian" identity through cultural productions and historiography. Against this genealogical investigation, this course juxtaposes the critiques of American Indian intellectuals and artists spanning from the works of early nineteenth century Pequot activist and writer William Apess, to contemporary Ojibwe poet, novelist, and critic Gerald Vizenor and Luiseno performance artist James Luna . Primary sources include the writings of American Indian intellectuals, visual representations, novels, captivity narratives, and cinema.

HIST 294-06	Kaiser to Kanzlerin: Creating German Unity from 1848 to the Present	MWF	12:00 pm-01:00 pm	MAIN 009	Eric Roubinek
From the 19th century to the current Federal Republic, Germany has had to create and recreate itself over and over again. This process of creating Germany and Germanness, goes beyond the political unifications of the late 19th and 20th centuries and includes contestations betweens social classes, religions, and regions. This process, too, has not been limited to the context of central Europe, but has been deeply implicated by Germany's relationship to the globe. In this course we will investigate the tensions between attempts at national unity and the real political, social, and cultural divisions from the failed revolution of 1848 to German (re)unification in 1990. At stake in our investigation of competing visions and narratives of German history is an understanding of how Germans could be responsible for some of the most impressive advancements in art, literature, and science in the world, but also play a major role in the outbreak of two world wars and be responsible for the Holocaust. How Germany has come to terms with its own tumultuous past in the postwar years serves as a model for broader, global processes as Germany now stands at the center of European unification.

HIST 394-01	Minnesota History	M	01:10 pm-04:00 pm	CARN 05	Peter Rachleff
This course will provide students with the opportunity for a deeper research project than they have found in 100 or 200 level courses, but not the full commitment of a capstone paper as in the senior seminar. We will take our inspiration from the Minnesota Historical Society's new, major exhibit on the year 1968, developed in collaboration with historical organizations in Oakland, Atlanta, and Chicago, but we will cast our net across the "long 1960s," from 1954-1975. This was a turbulent, dynamic period in U.S. and Minnesota history, and students will be able to conduct directed research into a wide range of topics -- the Cold War, the Civil Rights Movement, the women's movement, the labor movement, conflicts over the Vietnam War itself, political campaigns including Hubert Humphrey and Eugene McCarthy, art, music, and theater, and more. These projects will be situated within a national context, and they will be in conversation with each other and the 1968 exhibit. Students will produce a significant paper which engages secondary literature and rests on primary sources.

Tourism is one of the world's largest industries and a global phenomenon. But what does it mean to be a tourist, and why are they so often despised? Is there good and bad tourism, and what is its past? Drawing on history, anthropology, cultural studies, and other fields, we will examine how worldwide tourism is intertwined with, and reveals much about, cultures, stereotypes, politics, consumption, heritage, and life. No prerequisites.

Cross-listed with MCST 294-03 Cinema is a border-crossing medium-but how do images and messages get across? This course examines Hollywood's global reach, as well as film translations and adaptations in Soviet, Chinese, European, Indian, and other cinematic traditions. We draw perspectives from film, media, translation, gender, and postcolonial studies. Prior preparation in film studies, translation, or international studies (as with MCST 128, any of INTL 110-114, or a course on translation) is strongly recommended.

Case studies will be drawn from North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Africa, the Middle East, Norway, and Asia. Topics will include the environment, resource extraction, tourism, land rights, diasporas, sovereignty, education, Western vs. indigenous knowledges, anti-colonial movements, and indigeneity in the global age.
INTL 294-03	Global Shakespeares: All the World	TR	03:00 pm-04:30 pm	CARN 404	Dana Schumacher-Schmidt
Cross-listed with ENGL 294-01 This course looks at selected works of William Shakespeare in four interlocking ways: the already-global circa 1600 aspects of his great plays Othello, Macbeth, and The Tempest; various modern adaptations such as the Voodoo Macbeth, Zulu Macbeth, and the recent Indian film Maqbool; multiple translations and worldwide stagings; and Shakespeare's global afterlife. Shakespeare is often termed a "universal" author: we will critically gaze upon this claim.
INTL 352-01	Transitional Justice	TR	09:40 am-11:10 am	CARN 404	Nadya Nedelsky
This course explores the rapidly evolving field of transitional justice, examining how and why regimes respond to wide-scale past human rights abuses. Drawing on examples worldwide, it asks why states choose particular strategies and looks at a variety of goals (truth, justice, reconciliation, democracy-building), approaches (trials, truth commissions, file access, memorialization, reparation, rewriting histories), actors (state, civil society, religious institutions), experiences, results, and controversies.

Cross-listed with WGSS 320-01. This course explores a variety of critical approaches to the representation of gender and sexuality in film and video, including psychoanalytic feminist film theory and criticism, queer theory, narrative analysis, genre, visual culture, and cultural studies of gender and sexuality in relation to race, nation, and class. How have social constructs about gender and sexuality been promulgated and/or contested in film and video within mainstream and avant-garde contexts of cultural production? How have these constructs functioned to uphold and/or challenge other forms of social stratification or privilege? And, how might the woman's body in particular - both as a sight to behold and a site of looking - offer different ways of thinking representational possibility? In asking these questions, the course considers a wide range of issues, including the gaze, the body, media technologies, spectatorship, identity and identification, realism, mythology, and pornography. Written work emphasizes the close analysis of film texts. Prerequisites: sophomore standing; Media and Cultural Studies 128, Film Analysis and Visual Culture, or a course in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies; or permission of the instructor.

Students who've already taken MUSI 111 may not take this course for credit This course is designed primarily for music majors, music minors, or students with some musical background. It serves three main purposes. First, we survey the traditional, folk, and pop genres from major traditions around the world - in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East - focusing on the interaction between musical performance and other domains of human experience. Second, we approach music theory "not as a codification of Western harmonic practice, but as symbolic systems for conveying musical knowledge" (Roeder 2011). Course materials seek to understand the diverse ways in which musical sounds are organized across world cultures. Third, we examine the discourse of "world music" against the changing ideas of musical otherness in the West. Course requirements include reading, critical listening, transcription and analysis, concert attendance, participation in performance workshops, and class discussion. The ability to read staff notation is required. Students who've taken Music 111, World Music, may not take this course for credit.

Orchestration refers to the process of scoring music for orchestra. The technical information required of both composer and orchestrator includes a thorough knowledge of the individual instruments. This course will examine ranges, proper notation, technical abilities and limitations of each instrument and a mental conception of the sound of each. The art of orchestration pairs the understanding of each individual instrument with principles of instrumental combination and involves the study of balance of tone, mix of tone color, clarity in texture and special effects. The final project for this class will be a reading of orchestrated works with the Macalester Orchestra. Textbook: The Technique of Orchestration, 6th Edition, Kent Kennan

PHIL 294-01	Philosophy of Sport	MWF	09:40 am-10:40 am	MAIN 001	Geoffrey Gorham
Sports and games deserve close philosophical examination since they have always played an important part in human life. We first ask what exactly sports, games and athletics are, and how they are distinct from other modes of life. Next, we consider the main arguments for and against sports. For example, does sport promote virtue and 'fair-play' or, on the contrary, aggression and egoism? It is often said that sport is an essential part of a 'well-rounded' life and a liberal arts education. But why are well-rounded lives, and liberal arts educations, good? We will explore numerous ethical and conceptual issues that arise within sports, such as cheating and 'sportsmanship', violence and injury, doping and enhancement, and gender and racial equity. And we will consider whether sports can help us gain insight into more general philosophical concepts, such as virtue, justice, health, embodiment, friendship, consciousness, absurdity, death, and beauty. Our ultimate concern will be: what is the place of sport and games in a good and meaningful human life? Is it possible that life itself is a game? Along with numerous philosophical readings, contemporary and historical, we will also discuss philosophical treatments of sports in literature and film. Grades will be based primarily on a number of short papers, a class presentation, and a final take-home examination.
PHIL 294-02	Rights of Nonhuman Animals	TR	03:00 pm-04:30 pm	MAIN 003	Diane Michelfelder
In this course, we will combine readings, films, presentations by guest speakers, and field trips to aid an exploration of the central philosophical questions and debates associated with extending human rights to nonhuman animals. Just what does it mean to say that we ought to respect the rights of animals? On what grounds might such rights be granted or denied? If at least some human rights ought to be extended to at least some nonhuman animals, to which ones and what rights ought to be extended? What role do the concepts of personhood and property play in these debates? In what ways is the issue of the rights of nonhuman animals also an issue of environmentalism, particularly with respect to climate change? How would granting rights to nonhuman animals impact public policies and everyday habits of living? Might improving animal welfare bring about the same ends as granting rights to animals, while also avoiding thorny philosophical thickets? In considering these questions, it is anticipated that students taking this course will not only gain greater critical insight into what it may mean for nonhuman animals to have human rights but for what it means for us as rational animals to have them as well. This course counts as an elective within the Human Rights and Humanitarianism concentration. No prerequisites.

PHIL 394-01	The Life of the Spirit: Hegel and Kierkegaard	MW	07:00 pm-08:30 pm	MAIN 003	Diane Michelfelder
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's daring and drama-packed volume, The Phenomenology of Spirit, has long stood out as one of the masterworks of 19th century European philosophy. In this cousre, we will embrace the adventure of reading the Phenomenology, starting with the preface and continuing through the section on Unhappy Consciousness. Among the questions guiding our adventure will be: Just what does Hegel mean by "spirit"? What does it mean to "do" philosophy as a speculative science and how does this approach differ from some of Hegel's predecessors, most importantly Kant? What are the historical forms that Hegel identifies with the emergence and development of philosophical consciousness and how are the transitions between these forms accomplished? In the second part of the course, we will turn to one of Hegel's most sharp-witted and wittiest critics, the Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, in whose writings the roots of existentialism can be found. Through reading and discussing original texts such as Fear and Trembling, The Sickness Unto Death, and parts of Either-Or and The Concluding Unscientific Postscript, we will critically examine the contrast between Hegel's stages of consciousness and those proposed by Kierkegaard: the aesthetic, the ethical, and the religious. What does Kierkegaard mean when he claims that "truth is subjectivity"? And what are we to make of it when he proposes that "a human being is spirit...spirit is the self"?
PHIL 394-02	Contemporary Social and Political	TR	01:20 pm-02:50 pm	MAIN 011	William Wilcox
This course will focus on three central topics in contemporary Anglo-American (or "analytic") social and political philosophy. We begin with John Rawls's theory of justice as it evolved, often in light of criticisms that Rawls found compelling, from its first articulation in 1958 to its final in 2001. The second topic is equality, where we'll look at a few seminal attempts, for instance by Thomas Nagel, Amartya Sen, and Elizabeth Anderson, to explain the way in which equality is an important political and social ideal, and some recent work questioning its importance. Finally, we'll examine arguments by John Rawls and Thomas Nagel that the appropriate standards of justice applying to interactions between different societies are quite different from those standards that should be applied within a single society. These views by Nagel and Rawls have been opposed by philosophers with a more cosmopolitan outlook, and some of these opposing arguments will also be read and discussed.

POLI 222-01	Regional Conflict/Security	TR	09:40 am-11:10 am	CARN 208	Andrew Latham
This is a seminar on the challenges posed to US interests in the Middle East (the region bounded by Egypt, Iran, Yemen and Syria). It is organized around the following questions: What are the interests motivating US involvement in the Middle East? What are the challenges to US global and regional interests in the region? How well is the current US policy/strategy working to advance those interests? What realistic military, political, economic and diplomatic options are available to the US in the region? What strategic choices would you advise the Obama administration to make if it is to advance/defend key American interests in the region? Throughout, seminar participants will approach these questions from the perspective of American policy practitioners seeking to craft a comprehensive strategy that advances US interests in the region and the world. The goal is not only to deepen participants' understanding of the complexities of the security challenges in the region, but also to enhance their appreciation of challenges faced by the public officials charged with dealing with those complexities. As an intermediate-level offering, this course is designed primarily for Political Science majors and non-majors in cognate fields who have some experience in the discipline. The course has no prerequisites, however, and is therefore suitable to all students seeking to satisfy an interest in US foreign policy and/or the security situation in the Middle East.

POLI 294-01	Immigration Politics	MWF	01:10 pm-02:10 pm	CARN 206	Zornitsa Keremidchieva
The United States are often described as a nation of immigrants, yet various anxieties over the status and role of immigrants have been expressed throughout the history of the country. This class offers a symptomatic reading of key historical debates over immigration in the United States. A symptomatic analysis explores the contextual forces that shape the definitions, terms, and goals of such debates, the variety of interests vested in the issue, and the political and social consequences of these controversies not only for the dominant political order but especially for the lives and identities of the immigrants, their families, and communities. In particular we will explore: key historical events and trends that have defined the flow and status of immigrants in the United States; how various anxieties about immigration have served to disenfranchise some groups while solidifying the power of others; the rhetorical, economic, political, and ideological challenges faced by those interested in promoting immigrants' rights; how the status of immigrants has consequences for the political rights of citizens and vice versa, thus challenging the notion that immigrants' problems are theirs alone.
POLI 294-02	Political Violence	TR	01:20 pm-02:50 pm	CARN 304	Andrew Latham
This course is an introduction to political violence. Throughout the semester, we will examine various manifestations of political violence, including terrorism, major interstate war, jihad/religious war, insurgencies, New Wars, ethnic conflict, and civil war. We will also explore the debates in the field of political science regarding the nature and causal factors behind these types of violence. The course will be organized around both historical and contemporary cases of political violence. As an intermediate-level offering, this course is designed primarily for Political Science majors and non-majors in cognate fields who have some experience in the discipline. The course has no pre-requisites, however, and is therefore suitable to all students seeking to satisfy an interest in political violence.
POLI 294-03	Gender Issues in Human Rights and Humanitarianism	MWF	01:10 pm-02:10 pm	CARN 204	Wendy Weber
This intermediate-level course explores the complex roles of women and gender in the fields of human rights and humanitarianism. We will begin with the efforts of women's rights activists to expose the gendered nature of the international human rights regime and to address women's rights as human rights. Taking a global perspective, we will then explore the key debates within women's human rights activism, as well as some current threats to women's human rights. Shifting our focus to humanitarianism, we will look at various issues surrounding women and gender in armed conflict, including the use of sexual violence in war, efforts to protect women in situations of armed conflict, and the prosecution of wartime sexual violence. We will also look at the roles of women and gender in post-conflict peacebuilding.
POLI 294-04	Information Policy, Politics and Law	TR	03:00 pm-04:30 pm	CARN 204	Patrick Schmidt
This course explores the central problems created for public policy makers by changes in information technologies of the past half century. Through both legal cases and legislative questions, we consider the tensions between privacy, security, transparency, secrecy, and other values. Using a mix of tutorials, class discussion, and individual projects, topics will include copyrights, patents, file-sharing, surveillance, and information disclosure. Historic comparisons will allow us to question how these contemporary problems may or may not present fundamentally new challenges.
POLI 294-05	Food Politics	MWF	02:20 pm-03:20 pm	CARN 204	Michael Zis
Most people tend to think of eating as a very personal decision, but the availability, price, and nutritional value of our food is strongly influenced by governmental policy. In this class, we will explore, discuss, and debate the government's historic and proper role in three interrelated areas of public policy, with attention to the political and moral justification, politics at play, and public policymaking of each. They are: 1) agriculture as that relates to farm subsidies, food safety, organic food standards, and factory farms; 2) hunger relief and poverty, from food stamps to school lunch programs to new local initiatives targeting food deserts 3) and public health, from Prohibition to the campaign against obesity today.

In this course, we will examine human health and its many determinants. We will investigate ways in which our behaviors, thoughts, emotions, friends, environments, and other factors influence our health and the bi-directional linkages between psychological factors and health (for example, on the one hand psychological stress can produce physiological disease; and on the other hand, being physically sick can cause us to feel stressed, depressed, and can impair our psychological functioning.) We will discuss major research findings in the Health Psychology literature. A focus of the course will be on understanding research findings as presented in primary source documents (i.e., peer-reviewed journal articles). These journal articles will be supplemented by chapters from books written by and/or about leading scientific researchers and their work, including: Martin Seligman, Ellen Langer, Daniel Gilbert, and many others! An objective of this course is to introduce you to the fundamental principles and theories of Health Psychology, as well as the factual knowledge that is the basis of our scientific understanding of Health Psychology. An additional objective of this course is to introduce you to many ways in which theoretical and empirical findings are applied to improve the lives and development of individuals and groups (you will have the opportunity to try this yourselves with a personal health behavior-change project!). Finally, an object of this course is to gain experience analyzing and critically evaluating fundamental issues, arguments, and points of view in Health Psychology.

RELI 194-01	Asian Religions in American	MWF	09:40 am-10:40 am	MAIN 111	Erik Davis
This class is part of the Religious Studies American Religions Cluster, and will meet once a week (most likely Sunday evening) with the other classes in this cluster to partake in the broader curriculum. The Asian Religions in America course serves as an introduction to a few of the religions in the United States which originated in Asia, with special focus on those traditions highly represented in the Twin Cities: Tibetan, Lao, Cambodian, and Vietnamese Buddhism, Chinese Religions, and Hmong Religion. Students will be expected to master social and historical material in addition to the 'religious' material, as a function of understanding how these traditions came to North America, and what this move has entailed for practicing communities.
RELI 194-02	American Heretics	MWF	10:50 am-11:50 am	THEATR 205	Paula Cooey
Cross-listed with WGSS 194-01; This class is part of a Spring 2012 cluster in the department focusing on religion and the American experience. Class meets on Mondays and Wednesdays at the assigned time, and on a weekend day (mostly Sundays, early evenings) for speakers, films, field trips and joint dinners with the other classes. Just what is "the Bible" and what role has it played in shaping American life? How might it center a pattern of repeated political and cultural subversion that later becomes part of the dominant political voice in the United States? Many if not most of the earliest Europeans who colonized what is now the U.S. were considered religious heretics by the Christian churches of their original homelands at the time of their immigration. Over the course of U.S. history, "new" traditions have also emerged, often considered heretical or "not really Christian" by the subsequently established Christian traditions. While some of these traditions die out, a number of them flourish and later become part of the dominant cultural and political landscape. Much of the debate over who is and isn't heretical or "really Christian" has focused on what counts as authoritative Christian sacred text and how to interpret it. So, for example, even today some Christian denominations and sects find the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) politically, as well as religiously, unacceptable because this tradition grants the Book of Mormon divinely revealed status. Controversy over what does and does not count as sacred scripture, how it is to be interpreted, and who gets to determine right teaching of these texts for human life has gone on to shape American culture and politics in distinctive ways. The debates and the texts on which they focus have provided the primary scripts, the central narratives, and the cultural discourse, from worship to moral practice, politics to the courts, and secular ceremony to economic life. Christians have turned to scripture to justify opposing views and political action on issues from slavery to the Civil Rights, Women's suffrage to the second wave of Feminism, capitalism to socialism, and heterosexually exclusive civil marriage laws to Gay Rights. This course will examine this pattern or movement from "heretic" to dominance, characterized by dispute, adaptation, and power, even violence, by looking at a number of these groups, their sacred texts, and their impact through the use of film, guest lecture, visual arts, field work in various different Christian communities, on-line virtual churches, and, most importantly, the texts themselves. This course is scheduled as an MWF course; however, class will not meet on Fridays due to required fieldwork and attendance at other events.
RELI 194-03	America's Jews, American Judaism	MWF	01:10 pm-02:10 pm	MAIN 009	Barry Cytron
Cross-listed with AMST 194-02; this class is part of a Spring 2012 cluster in the department focusing on religion and the American experience. Class meets on Mondays and Wednesdays at the assigned time, and on a weekend day (mostly Sundays, early evenings) for speakers, films, field trips and joint dinners with the other classes. In 1654 twenty-three Jewish refugees fled Brazil and landed by mistake in what is today New York. 350 years later American Jewry constitutes the largest, most prosperous, and one of the two most important Jewish communities in the world. The five to six million men, women, and children of the contemporary American Jewish community constitute a "mixed multitude": Sephardic and Ashkenazic, "yordim" and Zionists, religious Jews and secularists, feminists, converts and "bagel-and-lox" Jews, and those who are "just Jewish"! Although comprising less than three percent of the U.S. population, their educational, social, and economic success gives them heightened visibility in the media, politics and literature. We will explore the creation and evolution of the American Jewish community, focusing on the successive waves of immigration, the ways in which these settlers and their descendants constructed a distinctive cultural and religious character, and the reactions of others to their entrance into national life. Of particular focus are the relationships of: Christians and Jews, American Jews and African-Americans, and Jewish women and men, to each other and to the changing landscapes of religious and cultural identity.
RELI 194-04	American Catholics	MWF	01:10 pm-02:10 pm	MAIN 010	James Laine
Cross-listed with AMST 194-03; this class is part of a Spring 2012 cluster in the department focusing on religion and the American experience. Class meets on Mondays and Wednesdays at the assigned time, and on a weekend day (mostly Sundays, early evenings) for speakers, films, field trips and joint dinners with the other classes. For much of American history, Catholics were suspected of harboring values at odds with the democratic values thought to be central to the nation. And yet very large numbers of immigrants coming to American since the 1830s were Catholics: Irish, Germans, Poles, Italians. This course will concentrate on the European background to American Catholicism, the sub-cultures of popular Catholic piety, and the values that American Catholics have held, values that sometimes put them at odds with their Protestant neighbors, and other values that put them at odds with the Catholic hierarchy. With that historical background, we will go on to consider a variety of Catholic sub-cultures present in the Twin Cities: Latinos, African Americans, recent African Immigrants (Eritreans, Cameroonians), Native Americans (Ojibwe), Asian Americans (Koreans, Vietnamese). We will visit these communities and compare their experience to more mainstream Euro-American Catholic communities, both those characterized by a progressive 1960s Vatican II ethos, and those favoring a conservative approach to religion, politics and culture.

Our goal will be to make an effort to comprehend just what cultural literacy would mean when studying the major religious traditions of the world, while at the same time developing an appreciation of some of the blind spots and problems in this enterprise. To a large extent, we will do some serious construction before we feel ready for de-construction. Every couple of weeks, we will cover one of five major areas (South Asia, East Asia, Judaism, Christianity, Islam) and each student will read a different author's treatment of this material.

Cross-listed with CLAS 294-01 From Socrates to suicide bombers, martyrs have been forced to give up their lives, or chosen to risk them and even to die, rather than renounce their beliefs or practices. This course explores how stories about martyrs ("martyrologies") relate to the formation of religious identities and communities. Over the course of the semester, we will analyze martryrologies from the early Christian and Jewish periods, the beginnings of Islam, the sixteenth century, and modernity. We will pay special attention to the social and political contexts with which martyrs often found themselves at odds (including the Roman Empire, and U.S./Middle East in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries). In class discussions, readings, and written work, you will have the opportunity to reflect on the following questions (among others): How do the stories we tell about martyrs shape the way we understand religious practices and beliefs? How do narratives of bearing witness, suffering, and death help to illumine relationships between religious and political domains? How might our current understanding of martyrdom be informed for better and for worse by a study of history?

Cross-listed with ENGL 294-03 "Subaltern" is, technically speaking, the foot-soldier who obeys orders. This course will study how this concept of the marginalized and powerless has become instrumental in resistances to feminist and other hegemonic structures in the 20th century. It is explicitly or implicitly a key concept in literary/cultural studies, historiography as well as micro-finance and development policies. We will debate whether and how "subaltern" can be a viable perspective in (post)modern and (neo) liberal times by analyzing what is going on today, at the intersection of literature, culture, economics, and politics. Latin America, South Asia, Western Europe, and Africa will be some of the areas addressed; Gramsci, Foucault, Subaltern Studies groups, Rabasa, Spivak, and Hardt/Negri are some of the authors included; literary and cultural texts by Suu Kyi, Menchu, Fusco, Morrison, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and extracts from Dalit and Palestinian literature will be read. No prerequisites. Approved for the International Development concentration. It fulfills the English Major requirement for U.S. writers of color, postcolonial, or diasporic literature.
WGSS 294-01	Whiteness and Postcolonialism	MWF	02:20 pm-03:20 pm	MAIN 010	Sonita Sarker
Cross-listed with ENGL 294-04 This course will bring together discourses that have remained somewhat parallel and unrelated--Whiteness Studies and Postcolonial Studies. It is based on the premise that the focus on 'whiteness' as an academic/social framework stems from and is intertwined with social and political identity-based movements (feminist, critical race, etc.). In other words, studies of the intersection of gender, race, class, and nation initiated in the post-colonizing imagination seeks to shake up paradigms of power, and this course explores where and how the notion of 'whiteness' converges and diverges from it. We will study literary and cultural texts, including Frantz Fanon, Nadine Gordimer, Zadie Smith, Ntozake Shange, Michelle Cliff, and movies such as At Play in the Fields of the Lord and Avatar. No prerequisites. It fulfills the English Major requirement for U.S. writers of color, postcolonial, or diasporic literature.

Cross-listed with ENGL 394-02 This course will focus on feminist and queer postmodernist literature and film. We will study how the terms 'feminist' and 'queer' meet and separate in 20th century culture and politics. We will seek to understand and work with definitions of the 'postmodern.' Some themes that bring them into the same conversation are: negotiating prescribed and constructed identities, playing with the notion of 'post,' critiquing existing frameworks and fashioning unprecedented ones, and addressing the material conditions of modernity and postmodernity. Some authors addressed are Reinaldo Arenas, Theresa Cha, Trinh Minh-Ha, Jeannette Winterson, and Monica Ali, and films by Ursula Biemann (Switzerland) and Alka Sadat (Afghanistan) are included. No prerequisites. Approved for the Critical Theory concentration. It fulfills the English Major requirement for U.S. writers of color, postcolonial, or diasporic literature.
