If so, what does this process of becoming entail? And how do societal expectations determine what it means to come "of age" for the young girl? This course will examine works of literature, mythology, folklore, and film that depict the transition from girlhood into womanhood, paying particular attention to how differing backgrounds of race, class, sexuality, ability, and gender expression trouble a stable formula for becoming a woman. As we will find, female coming of age tales invoke a transformation that can be experienced as a loss or a death or an emergence— but one after which there is no return. Natalie Adler is currently a visiting assistant professor at Brown University in the Department of Comparative Literature and with the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women. She received her PhD in January 2016 in Comparative Literature from Brown. EXP-0005-GS Horror, Abjection, and You 1.0 credit, Letter-graded Mondays, 6:00-8:30pm What are you afraid of? What in our world is abject? After a year of creepy clowns, Zika, and rampant political fear-mongering, all of us have experienced horror on a number of levels. But how often do we think about horror's power to control us? This course will pair literature, film, advertisements, political speeches, and more with theories put forth by philosophers, psychologists, biologists, theologians, and political scientists in order to question what frightens us about our world, about our bodies, and about what lurks in the recesses of our collective psyche.

    I The Essence of Brotherhood Petition for Rcognition as a Chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi JS:! Beta Iota Colony f" I PETITION FOR CHARTER We , the Uninitiated Brothers of the Beta Iota Colony of Alpha Slgma Phi Fraternity at Tufts University, hereby Petition the Grand Counci I or Alpha Sigma Phi for Recognition as a Chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity. To demonstrate the merit of our Petition, we have included a comprehensive description of our membership, our activities and our principles. We believe that our period of Colonization has been a rewarding experience in which we have discovered Brotherhood, greater ) Scholarship, and heightened Dedication to our Alma Mater. We ask for thorough examination of the Character of Ourselves, our Colony and its History of the last two years. We long to complete our Journey into the Light and Brotherhood of the Mystic Circle. ) ii FOREWORD Almost two years have passed since the Colonizatlon Banquet of Beta Iota at Tufts Unlversity. When we started we were working from a document known as "The Minimum Standards of a Chapter." These are standards whlch we enthuslastically pursued and easily accomplished. Even though we lost half our members over the flrst summer of our Colonization period, we had attalned these minimums and more within a year. However, we were then informed that standards of operation were not standards of Chartering. We quickly left those behind and began a much less defined process of convincing the Fraternity that Beta Iota was good enough to be a Chapter. The most important aspect was to prove that Beta Iota would be around for a long time to come.
