ANTH 1135-705 (3). Exploring a Non-Western Culture: The Andes
In this exciting anthropology course, we will explore the deep history, rich cultures, and complex politics of the Andean region of South America, which includes the nations of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. From the ancient Tiwanaku civilization to the Inka Empire, from the Spanish Conquest to modern democracies, we will consider how Andean cultural traditions have persisted despite centuries of indigenous peoples’ being marginalized and exploited, and how indigenous values are now changing the face of politics. Approved for Arts and Sciences CORE curriculum: Human Diversity.
ANTH 1200-705 (3). Culture and Power
This course is designed to give students the opportunity to explore the concept of democracy, a theme that is embedded in and representative of both culture and power. Democracy is a malleable concept that can develop, over time, out of particular historical cultural settings. But whether or not a particular model of democracy thrives depends on how power is wielded. An anthropological approach to the study of democracy allows us to unpack our shifting ideas and societal norms to incorporate a historical cultural context, and to consider the relationship between individual behavior and social structure. Approved for Arts and Sciences CORE curriculum: Contemporary Societies.
ANTH 2020-705 (3). Introduction to Physical Anthropology 2
Continuation of ANTH 2010. Emphasizes genetics, human variation, and microevolution. Prerequisite: ANTH 2010. Approved for Arts and Sciences CORE curriculum: Natural Science.
DNCE 1027-705 (3). Introduction to Dance and Culture
This course is designed as an introduction to, and will provide an overview of, the study of dance in cultures throughout the world. In addition to a theoretical component, students will have opportunities to engage in dance through physical experiences and as observers. By studying dances’ historical, political, environmental, religious, and social contexts, students will gain insight into how dance serves as a powerful reflection of people’s ways of life. Students will have opportunities to view dances as cultural outsiders, while also examining traditional and contemporary dances from within their own cultures. Approved for Arts and Sciences CORE curriculum: Literature & the Arts.
ECON 2020-705 (4). Principles of Macroeconomics
Provides an overview of the economy, examining the flows of resources and outputs and the factors determining the levels of income and prices. Explores policy problems of inflation, unemployment, and economic growth. Prerequisite: ECON 2010. Meets MAPS requirement for social sciences: general 1000. Approved for Arts and Sciences CORE curriculum: Contemporary Societies.
GSAP 1000-705 (3). World Politics and Society: 9/11 and After
This course is an introductory international affairs course and has multiple aims. From a knowledge standpoint, our task is to understand 9/11 and its legacies: what did 9/11 engender, in terms of world affairs? Why was it seen as a watershed moment in U.S. foreign relations and international affairs? Should it have been? By the end of the semester, you should be well prepared to take part in the ongoing public debates surrounding topics such as the legacies of Bush era foreign policies, the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the “war on terrorism,” and America’s international reputation and role in world affairs today.
GSAP 2010-705 (3). Introduction to National Security
Introduces national and international security studies to students. The course examines the influence of history, domestic politics, and international events and actors on the development of security policy.
HIST 2100-705 (3). Revolution in History (Russia)
Examines the causes, character, and significance of a major political revolution in modern history. In this course, students will study the Russian Revolutions of 1917, beginning with an overview of Imperial Russia and ending in the late 1930s with Stalin’s “revolution from above.” How and why a communist regime replaced a 300 year old dynasty will be the central focus of the course. Questions explored include: What conditions precipitated the revolution? Was revolution inevitable? Who participated? How did individuals affect the course and influence the outcome? Did revolution fulfill or abandon its promise to the Russian people? Approved for Arts and Sciences CORE curriculum: Historical Context.
IAFS 1000-705 (4). Introduction to International Affairs & Global Issues
As an introduction to the field of international affairs, this course offers students the opportunity to explore the critical issues that are currently shaping and being shaped by the world’s political, economic, and cultural systems: climate change, civil society, social movements, the political economy of war, global commodities, transnational migration, and the war on drugs. Students will examine the interplay between the local and the global, and between individual and collective agency and social structure, always with a historical perspective. Approved for Arts and Sciences CORE curriculum: Contemporary Societies.
PHIL 2290-705 (3). Philosophy and Women
This course will serve as an introduction to feminist philosophy, where “feminist philosophy” can be broadly understood as philosophy that is explicitly committed to gender justice, with “gender” and “justice” both requiring some analysis. We’ll consider both generalized and localized approaches to gender justice, with special attention to global feminism, multiculturalism, and the intersection of gender with features such as class, race, age, and (dis)ability. Approved for the Arts and Science CORE curriculum: Human Diversity.

Approved for Arts and Sciences CORE curriculum: Contemporary Societies.
