Class Instructor Time/Campus Description This course will examine the production and reception of Hollywood films about MW 2:40-4:10 Abraham Lincoln including how the films reflect history, how they function as Mark Pohlad cultural artifacts, their place in the history of film, and their representation of Abraham Lincoln in + women and African Americans. The class concentrates on four films—D. W. Film History of Art & Lab: T 6:00-8:30 Griffith’s Lincoln (1930), John Ford’s Young Mr. Lincoln (1939), John Cromwell’s Architecture Abe Lincoln in Illinois (1940), and Steven Spielberg’s recent Lincoln (2012). Films with Lincoln Park Lincoln characters will also be considered but with less emphasis, e.g., the Shirley Temple film The Littlest Rebel (1935), and Tim Burton’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012). Through intensive reading, discussion, writing, and group work, Note: This section has a Tuesday evening “lab” period for film students will engage the question: What do Hollywood films about Abraham screenings. Lincoln say about American culture—about us? Our life stories and confessions define who we are and spotlight our aspirations. But most importantly, they can also lead us to discover our real selves and our true vocations. Often when Anne Sexton is mentioned, an individual’s first response to define her is “poet”; however, the study of Sexton offers a deeper understanding into the many concentrations of Liberal Studies and life overall. This Focal Point Seminar does not solely rely on the lens of literature. Instead, it focuses on Sexton’s Laura Durnell TTh 9:40-11:10 art and life and questions how one’s life affects vocation and how vocation affects Anne Sexton: a person’s life as well as the lives of others. Students will be led to contemplate how Confessional Poet Writing, Rhetoric & Lincoln Park professions in the arts, business, academics, religions, sciences, and political arenas Discourse relate to Sexton’s poetry and life. In addition, students will reflect on and connect their own life experiences and academic studies toward their future vocations. Along with the requirements of the seminar setting, course notebook, and final course essay, students will also have opportunities to present their own stories and confessions through their choice of non-fiction, fiction, visual or performance art, poetry, or music.

Mural making has been around as long as humankind. This class Mark Elder Artistic Influences in TTh 8:00-9:30 will explore the influences that affected the great muralists starting with Giotto,

Contemporary Mural Michelangelo, and Raphael. In turn, the student will examine their effects on later Art, Media & Art Lincoln Park muralists such as Benton and Siqueiros. Then finally, the student will see how these Design muralists affected the contemporary muralists (local and international) like William Walker, Richard Haas, Olivia Gude, and others. This course serves as an introduction to the cultural, social and political impact of Africans in the New World and their role, together with the indigenous peoples and Europeans, in the shaping of the modern Americas, especially the regions which came to be known as Latin America. Central themes include Black in Latin David Akbar multiculturalism, ethnicity, identity, colonialism, colonial social organization and TTh 2:40-4:10 America: A Blending Gilliam stratification and forms of conflict and rebellion. We will draw insights from of Bloodlines, Cultures literature, religious studies, art, history, anthropology, economics, political science, Lincoln Park & Religious Traditions Modern Languages geography and sociology in an interdisciplinary fashion in order to explore the legacy of Africans and their descendants in the regions where today Spanish and Portuguese are spoken. Francophone areas will be included but covered in less depth. Course readings, which include an array of sources, will be supplemented by films and at least one guest speaker. What is the relationship between capitalism and democracy? Western free-market (laissez faire) capitalism is argued to free individual actors to pursue personal gain, offering opportunity for all. At the same time, as this way of doing business comes to dominate countries across the globe: 1) more and more wealth and resources have become concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people, and 2) there is less opportunity for democratic participation of workers (through unions, for Katherine Ibata- example) and small business (as opposed to big business). Conversely, in non- TTh 1:00-2:30 Capitalism & Arens democratic or semi-democratic Asian countries (as well as a few European welfare

Democracy democracies) where “unfettered” capitalism has yet to completely take root, there is Lincoln Park Political Science a more equitable distribution of wealth throughout society and workers have a greater voice in economic processes. Clearly there are other forms of capitalism than the Western (U.S.) free-market model, but what are they and how do they compare? These issues are explored through a critical examination of the intellectual history of notions of capitalism and democracy in core texts. This is stimulated via class discussion, debates and weekly “think pieces” (short essays prompted by a critical question relating to class readings and lectures). Children’s Health: This course focuses on children and determinates of their health. The course Kim Amer MW 9:40-11:10 Biological, explores the genetic, biological, psychological and societal influences on children’s

From economic resources to disparate availability of health care, a variety Nursing Lincoln Park Influences of frameworks will be explored to analyze the strength of influences on children’s focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 health. Frameworks which will be used to explore influences on children’s health include social ecology, family stress and coping models, the culture of poverty, and developmental theory. The conceptualization of health in children will be presented using a holistic view of the complex interactions of biological, psychological and social influences Students will participate in evaluating the ethical and moral issues related to providing societal support structures which promote health in children. Group work, one research paper and quizzes will be assessed during the course. Since opening its doors to the outside world in 1978, no country has climbed the economic ladder as quickly as China. Although this rapid growth has lifted a China’s Environmental quarter of a billion people out of poverty and returned China to prominence on the Challenge Phillip Stalley MW 1:00-2:30 international stage, it has also placed a tremendous strain on the natural environment.

The course is an examination of human-wildlife diseases as a consequence of human intrusion into wild places. Global warming, associated climate change, increased global trade and travel, deforestation and urbanization have resulted in Emerging Diseases: Dennis Meritt MW 11:20-12:50 more human contact with wildlife. The course examines what factors may have The Human-Wildlife contributed to in an increase in newly emerging diseases that normally are restricted Connection Biological Sciences Lincoln Park to wildlife, rarely crossing to humans. The course will focus on those human- wildlife diseases of current concern. Students will have the opportunity to read, analyze and write summary discussion papers for weekly class presentation and discussion. Each student will have the opportunity to participate and share their

focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 views in each class. Information for these assignments will be taken from readings in a variety of disciplines. These include, but are not restricted to, the study of infectious disease, veterinary medicine, engineering, computer science, natural history, wildlife management, conservation, economics and philosophy. Students will be assessed based on their attendance, class participation, performance on quizzes and examinations, as well as on a final research paper and associated oral presentation. This course will work to develop a definition of “endangered” and see how well the definition works as it applies to a range of life forms, including plants, animals, and Dennis Meritt MW 2:40-4:10 Endangered Species natural habitats. The course will explore the probable causes of endangerment, and Habitats consider the impact of our own species as well as that of natural occurrences, Biological Sciences Lincoln Park discuss possible solutions, and explore ways people can become involved and affect a long-term solution. When it comes to quadrennial sports celebrations, the modern Summer Olympics paved the way, with nations and competitors uniting to demonstrate great athletic ability for the world to see—and with medals awarded to the best. That wildly innovative idea was quickly and globally embraced, soon thereafter triggering a new “team-sport” entity known as the World Cup. Hosted initially by Uruguay in 1930, soccer’s World Cup was spawned. Its concept followed the Olympics, contested once every four years, and evolved into the planet’s most glorious event. The World Cup is about countries who battle, over one month’s time, to achieve immortal greatness, with an entire nation welcoming 32 qualifying teams within its Philip Meyers TTh 4:20-5:50 borders and allowing millions to savor soccer’s different cultures. Students will FIFA & the World Cup study the World Cup’s origin, history and future—from a sole soccer festival to a Political Science Lincoln Park showcase that facilitates players’ careers, endorsements and branding as well. After grasping the tournament’s history, students will delve into both the economics and politics of the World Cup—why host nations are selected, and what are the defining reasons of those decisions. Is it to “expand” the game, or might there be deeper factors? Politics, corruption, racism, sexuality, anti-Semitism and economics are only several factors why a country is granted custodianship of sports’ crown jewel competition. Concluding our study, the class will effectuate a simulated bidding to become a future tournament host, absorbing all the factors learned over the quarter. That exercise will culminate with student submitting a writing that focuses on the effects in that country’s perspective, and soccer as a whole. This course addresses the important and complex concept of forgiveness from Frida Furman MW 1:00-2:30 theoretical, applied, and interdisciplinary perspectives. The course explores: a) Forgiveness various religious, ethical, psychological, and political understandings of forgiveness; Religious Studies Lincoln Park b) related concepts, such as revenge, justice, healing, apology, repentance, and

focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 reparations; c) the application of forgiveness and related concepts to interpersonal and intergroup case studies; d) and students’ own views on these concepts, on the various sources informing their perspectives, and on ways in which class materials challenge and expand them. The trial of Galileo has often been cast as a cosmic conflict between the worlds of science and religion. Yet there were many factors – personality clashes, professional rivalries, contemporary religious and social pressures – that led to, and had an impact on, the trial. By critically examining the Galileo trial through the eyes of Galileo vs. the Church: Anuj Sarma TTh 1:00-2:30 contemporary and later scientists, historians, ecclesiastical figures, philosophers and Lessons from the Age biographers, this course will examine the myriad influences that culminated in the of Intransigence Physics Lincoln Park indictment and recantation of Galileo. In a larger context, this course will draw upon the lessons from which the trial to examine the conflict between science and religion, the impact of such a conflict on individuals and society, and the consequences for those individuals and society as a whole, both contemporaneously and in the future. The life and times of Mohandas K. Gandhi provide an entry point for thinking about some of the most important movements of the 20th and 21st centuries. As an apostle of nationalism in the developing world, he forced Britain, the world’s largest colonial power, to begin closing down its empire by granting independence to the greatest and longest-held of its colonies—the “jewel in the crown”—India. As a theorist and practitioner of non-violent political change, he inspired Martin Luther King, Jr. and other African-American civil rights activists, the religious David Gitomer W 6:00-9:15 PM peace movements of the late 20th century, and provided the strategic playbook for Gandhi & His Legacy religious and political nationalism in such diverse locations as Poland, South Africa Religious Studies Lincoln Park and the Philippines. His critiques of institutional power, technology worship, and capitalist consumerism still challenge us today. Using both Gandhi’s own writings and those of other authors, this course will ask students to think about Gandhi’s life and work from many points of view, and through several academic disciplines. We will examine the political, economic and cultural meanings of European imperialism, the creative and destructive dynamics of nationalism. We will examine the ways Gandhi rediscovered and reinvented his own tradition, Hinduism, inspired by an initial attraction to Christian pacifism and vegetarianism, British democratic rule of law, and the European nationalist idea of self-determination. We will consider whether it is valid to look at Gandhi’s early relationship with his parents and his experience of adolescent sexuality as ways of understanding the Note: This is a hybrid section, taught part online and part in class. development of his ideas. We will look at the criticism of those who feel that the The first class meeting will be face-to-face. Gandhian philosophy has created great obstacles for India as a globalizing, multi- cultural society. Finally, we will look at Gandhi and the media, both in the ways he used newspapers and newsreels in the 30’s and 40’s to promote an image which

focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 would further his cause, as well as the ways Gandhi himself has been depicted in literature, music and popular media. What do London, Mumbai, L.A., São Paulo, New York, Algiers and Paris have in common? What are the similarities and differences between how a middle-class professional woman in Mumbai, a Latino migrant worker in California, a queer woman in Toronto and an Arab man in Paris experience the city? Some scholars are arguing that cities across the world are becoming increasingly similar due to the cross-border flows of peoples, cultures, media images, money and ideas. At the same time some cities continue to symbolize all that is “modern” and “developed” Sanjukta while others remain associated with “chaos, poverty, inefficiency and corruption.” Mukherjee MW 2:40-4:10 Gender, Race & Class Based on case studies from across the globe this course will take an in the City interdisciplinary approach to introduce students to the changing role of cities in a Women’s & Gender Lincoln Park globalizing world, new contours of inequalities that have emerged in them and how Studies different people and communities are mobilizing in response to these changes. One of the main questions we will examine is how and why different people based on their social location and identities (in relation to race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, etc.) experience the city differently. We will use weekly class lectures, readings, group exercises and films to critically understand how cities are both shaped by and shape processes of global change, and the specific implications of these changes for particular places, peoples and communities. Our culture is caught up in a movement to “go green.” This phrase has become everything from a marketing slogan to a philosophy of living in the 21st century. But is “going green” something new, after all? This seminar will help students uncover the roots of our relationship with nature. In the process of our learning journey together, we will uncover many treasures, searching for answers to this question: “How and why has nature been the place where the disciplines of Mary Miritello Going Green: Digging TTh 8:00-9:30 literature, art, and science have intersected for many centuries?” Course readings up Roots, Finding will enable students to explore these intersections and develop questions of their Writing, Rhetoric & Treasures Lincoln Park own, fostering a spirit of inquiry and wonder about the natural world. We will Discourse ask: How did the first and second generation of nature writers in America pave the way for today’s debates and discussions about our relationship with nature? How might our relationship with the natural world help us to define happiness and a life well-lived? Students who enroll in this course will develop the analytical and reflective skills to help them appreciate the genre of nature writing and the relationships that scientists and artists have cultivated with the natural world. This course will explore what many consider the most timeless and universal myth Christine Reyna MW 9:40-11:10 Harry Potter & the of the “hero’s journey” through the stories of Harry Potter. The Hero’s Journey

Hero’s Journey (Campbell, 1949) is at the heart of most major mythologies and religions the world Psychology Lincoln Park over. Its universal themes present a roadmap for personal and spiritual focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 transformation from innocence, to call to action, challenge, abyss, revelation, transformation and ultimately rebirth. Through examining and discussing the stories and characters of Harry Potter we will deeply dissect the stages of the hero’s journey and compare these themes with other myths and stories from ancient civilizations, classic literature and popular culture to examine how these themes reflect the human experience in modern times and how they have remained timeless. In this process, students will have the opportunity to explore their own lives and reflect on how literature can serve as a guide to their own personal journey of transformation and initiation. Note: Students are expected to be familiar with the seven books in the Harry Potter series before the start of class. One of the most successful book series of all time, is more than just a books series, as we will examine in this course. J.K. Rowling’s masterpiece, “Harry Potter” provides readers with the opportunity to examine a fictional world through the lens of modern disciplines. We will examine our own interpretations of the world of Heather Easley TTh 9:40-11:10 Harry Potter: Welcome Harry Potter through the disciplines of Sociology, Philosophy, Religion, and to Hogwarts Business. As Harry Potter has taken on a life of its own within our Muggle world, Sociology Lincoln Park we’re able to see the impact such a work has on today’s economic and religious climate. We will also discuss the content of the literature with a focus on gender, family, stratification, poverty, the idea of destiny, love, identity, choice, and the classic and ultimately important, good vs. evil. This course will explore the political, economic and social development of Hawai’i. Lori Pierce Although the tourist gaze has long defined Hawai’i as a vacation destination, MW 9:40-11:10 Hawaii: Kingdom, Hawai’i is a unique example of some of the ramifications of colonialism. The

Territory, State African & Black course will examine several moments in the history of Hawai’i by examining a Lincoln Park Diaspora Studies series of Hawaiian concepts: ho’ohuli mana’o (conversion); malama ‘aina (loving and caring for the land); ku’e (political resistance and sovereignty). Sometimes the questions asked by one individual and the paths and patterns of that individual’s life reflect those of an entire generation or an era or even a culture. One such individual is Su Shi, better known by his literary name Su Dong-po (1036 – 1101). Su Shi was a Confucian scholar, imperial official, dissident, philosopher, art theorist, poet, painter, husband, father, friend, lover, intellectual, Curtis Hansman MW 1:00-2:30 and traveler who lived during the most tumultuous decades of the Northern Song Heart/Mind: Su Shi & dynasty (960 - 1127), one of the richest and most intellectually creative periods in Song Dynasty China History of Art & Lincoln Park Chinese history. In this seminar we will explore the individual Su Shi and the era in Architecture which he lived. We will attempt to come to know Su Shi as an individual—his birth, family, training, political career, poetry, and painting—and then as a shaper of Song society and the Confucian model of government and society. We will engage the major issues of Song political, social, intellectual, and artistic history through the political writings, poetry, and paintings of Su Shi and his focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 contemporaries. The emphasis on analysis and interpretation of many types of primary sources—poetry, political treatises, theoretical writing (in translation); paintings; city planning and architecture—will allow us to think creatively about the nature of historical sources. For decades, film writers have identified 1939 as the “greatest year” of Hollywood filmmaking, largely due to the high number of classic films released that year, TTh 9:40-11:10 including Gone with the Wind, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Stagecoach, and The Wizard of Oz. As scholars, we can use these films as texts to study in a Douglas Long Hollywood’s Golden + number of ways. From historical perspectives, we can look at these films in relation

From Lincoln Park sociological and gender studies perspectives, we can trace the portrayal of non- white and female characters in an era where those social roles were seen much differently than today. And from film scholarship, we can see this as the height of the studio system, where filmmaking was churned out in factories modeled on Henry Ford’s assembly lines and where new technologies like Technicolor were bursting onto the scene. And the “factory” workers included some of the most Note: This section has a Friday “lab” period for film screenings. iconic film actors of all time: Clark Gable, Bette Davis, Cary Grant, Greta Garbo, James Cagney, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Henry Fonda, James Stewart, Laurel & Hardy, W.C.

The “dirty war” in Argentina, the military coup in Chile, the “death squads” in Central America, and others have generated a rich document- Human Rights, Social Maria Masud F 9:30-12:45 ation of books, articles, films, and desperate public calls for justice, e.g., the Justice & Memory in mothers of the Plaza de Mayo. These diverse sources seek to explain how those Latin America Modern Languages Lincoln Park repressive forces overthrew democratic governments and of their action for consequences for civil society. Likewise, they document the attempts by groups and individuals in those respective societies to find processes that would bring justice to the individuals directly and indirectly affected by the repression. This course will examine Suzanne Collins’ young adult science fiction series, The Hunger Games, and its role in popular culture as a critique of dominant culture. We will examine the genres it engages, especially dystopia, exploring the warnings it Heather Rakes offers about all of these: reality TV and surveillance culture, race, class and The Hunger Games TTh 11:20-12:50 segregation, gender and sexuality performativity, food injustice, capitalist modes of Series: Difference & Women’s & Gender competition, and the appropriation of queer aesthetics as a means of indicating Dystopia Lincoln Park Studies luxury and frivolousness. More specifically we will focus on these topics with regard to the question of adaptation in the choices for the production of the film and the casting of the actors. Here we will be particularly concerned with the ways that race is treated in the books and how racial descriptors are deployed in a way focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 that is missed by many readers and affects the casting of the actors in the films. Combining theory, documentaries, related fiction and films such as the “The Lottery,” Battle Royale as well as blog posts responding to casting decisions in real time, this course will foster critical discussion and reflection through the examination of multiple frames of popular culture and criticism. We will read from academic fields both disciplinary (philosophy, sociology) and interdisciplinary (gender studies, disability studies, media studies), as well as nonacademic forms such as documentary and blog. This course will examine the different narratives concerning Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans, and the Gulf Coast. The class will progress through a range of primary and secondary sources, introducing students to a variety of disciplines and methodologies. The class will generally progress from primary to secondary sources Thomas Krainz MW 8:00-9:30 during the quarter. Students will grapple with newspapers (both news items and Hurricane Katrina columns), weekly periodicals, oral interviews, videos, photography, memoirs, film, History Lincoln Park political tracts, historical accounts, and in-depth investigative reporting. By exploring these different sources, by asking plenty of critical questions, and by thinking about the material through discussions and writings, students will by the end of the quarter have an understanding of strengths and weakness of each source material and methodology. This will be a reading intensive class. This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to the concept of the “robot”: a Robin Burke man-made autonomous creature. Students will explore how works of myth, literature and popular culture have imagined the benefits and pitfalls of such Computing & creations. At the same time, students will take an engineering perspective on the I, Robot: Imagining/ Digital Media robot question by constructing robots and writing software to animate them. By Engineering Robotic TTh 10:10-11:40 combining the study of imaginative works with practical experience with robot Autonomy programming, the course encourages students to explore the tension between the Loop history of literary and mythic conventions for projecting human characteristics (two co-taught sections) John Shanahan onto machines and the real-world challenges of reliably realizing such capabilities. Faculty from two different fields will teach this course. Students will see directly English examples of interdisciplinary dialogue, and will understand the varieties of intellectual engagement that makes intellectual creativity possible. This course explores the complex relationship between two major writers of the twentieth century, the Dubliners James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. It studies a sample of their works, from critical essays, to short stories, to novels, and plays in James Joyce & Samuel David Gardiner MW 4:20-5:50 order to grasp the continuities and contradictions within both authors’ oeuvres. Beckett: Dubliners in This course examines Joyce and Beckett’s relationship and the ways in which the Paris English Lincoln Park two predominantly defined modern and postmodern writing. In addition, we will focus on Dublin at the turn-of-the-century and Paris in the late 1920s and 1940s, a time when both were living as “Irish cosmopolitans” in France. In addition to focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 grasping the absorbing literary cultures of both Dublin and Paris, we will address the significance of both authors’ works – works which question the elevated and the everyday, the difficulty of communication and writing, the habits of our daily life, and the nature of our existence. This intertextual course combines history, biography, literary and philosophical inquiry asking such questions as: What is the nature modern literature? What significance does “exile” contribute to art? What constitutes modernist/postmodern writing? What is the lasting influence of these authors on contemporary literature? Wherever possible, coursework will be sup- plemented with multimedia materials, including plays, films and interactive works. On May 21, 1924, Nathan Leopold, Jr. and Richard Loeb abducted and murdered Bobby Franks in Hyde Park, Chicago. The arrest and subsequent trial of Leopold and Loeb created a legal and media sensation. We will examine the murder and its Margaret Nellis aftermath, and explore the question why it produced such a sensation in the city of TTh 11:50-1:20 Leopold & Loeb: The Chicago. We will place our examination of the Leopold and Loeb case within the

Crime of the Century Writing, Rhetoric & context of Chicago’s rise as a center of commerce and culture during the 1920s. Loop Discourse The 1920s were the time of Prohibition, the flapper era and the rise of organized crime. Our sources will include the book Leopold and Loeb: the Crime of the Century as well as psychological studies of these two criminals and films that take this case as their subject. If we were to point to what is most important in our lives, we would point to the Scott Moringiello TTh 9:40-11:10 things we love. Yet we would also be hard pressed to define love. In this course, we Love will explore love in representative texts from literature, philosophy, and Christian Catholic Studies Lincoln Park theology. We will also explore how these texts continue to influence contemporary authors. Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) is arguably one of the most controversial writers of the Western canon. For example his Discourses, a commentary on Livy’s Histories that praise the Roman Republic in opposition to the later Empire, have been hailed as the forerunners of modern democracy, while his political pamphlet The Prince has been condemned as the ideological root of twentieth century totalitarianisms. According to Albert Russell Ascoli, such polarized readings result from the Caterina Mongiat- TTh 11:20-12:50 common mistake of isolating Machiavelli’s writings from their historical context Machiavelli: His Farina and changing “his always qualified, always historically grounded precepts into Words & His World Lincoln Park abstract, universal rules of conduct.” Through the close reading of a number of Modern Languages Machiavelli’s writings, from his infamous The Prince to his comedy The Mandrake Root, from his Florentine Histories to his Letters, and with the aid of leading Renaissance scholars, this course aims at giving students the opportunity to under- stand and interpret Machiavelli’s thought in its historical context. Although the course and its texts are all in English, students will have the chance to familiarize themselves with a few famous terms and passages in the original Italian texts. focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 For most Americans, Martin Luther King Jr. symbolizes the non-violent struggle to overcome racial injustice not only in the South, but across the nation and throughout the world. While King was indeed relentlessly committed to racial equality, his views on how to achieve that goal were far more complex than most Americans either realize or remember. For many Americans, Malcolm X symbolized a militant struggle for racial equality and black power “by any means Martin Luther King & Christina Rivers MW 1:00-2:30 necessary,” including violent resistance.

In order to appreciate both of these leaders as well as their legacies, we must familiarize ourselves with the full scope of their views on dissent, democracy and race – a scope that extends well beyond their most commonly known speeches and writings. This course will concentrate on the evolution of M.L. King’s and Malcolm X’s views on race during the short-but- significant period between the early 1960s until 1968. This course will examine the mystical traditions within the world’s great religions. Whereas there is much to separate the Occidental thought of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam from the Eastern traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism, when the mystical strain within each of these traditions is considered, a surprising similarity of beliefs, practices and experiences become evident. The religious vision and expression of a Christian mystic might appear to be virtually equivalent to that of a Sufi mystic or a Hindu or Jewish mystic. The great mystics of the ages, including Plato, Plotinus, Pseudo-Dionysius, Meister Eckhart, Ruysbroek, St. Benjamin Frazer- MW 3:10-4:40 Theresa, Hadewijch, Julian of Norwich, St. John of the Cross, Rumi, Lao Tzu, Mysticism: Past to Simser Chuang Tzu, and Bataille will be examined. This course will examine the history of Present Loop both Occidental and Eastern mysticism along with its socio-political significance. Philosophy Seeking to pass over and through the rational and speculative religious thought of the divine, mysticisms enter into an experience with what is often termed the mysterium tremendum, the awe-inspiring mystery. Existing beyond rational discourse, this experience can neither be adequately expressed in nor arise from out from a specific cultural, ethical, and biological background. It has its own structure, which can only be expressed in poetry, music, imagery, or in negative theology. Consequently, we will examine the mystical experience of both men and women from a variety of cultures. The safe disposal of our nuclear waste in the United States has become a NIMBY problem causing a significant public policy dilemma – how should we dispose of Nuclear Waste: Kelly Tzoumis TTh 1:00-2:30 nuclear waste in the United States? Nuclear waste is continuously being generated NIMBY of the 21st by nuclear power plants, weapons facilities, and other generators like hospitals, Century Public Policy Studies Lincoln Park pharmaceutical companies and research institutions. This course will explore the public policy problems posed for disposing of this waste and discuss the

Environmental justice issues impacting Native Americans will be included. Nuclear waste disposal policies that are covered in the course include low-level, transuranic, and high-level nuclear waste. Students will be required to compare information in tone, quality and accuracy from a variety of both primary and secondary sources. This course will introduce students to Performance Art with a special emphasis on artists whose work has explored the relationship between the body and self. A brief history of Performance Art in the 20th Century will be surveyed in order to provide a context for understanding the main focus of the course, an examination Gagik of selected contemporary performance artists who create interdisciplinary hybrid Aroutiunian MW 11:20-12:50 forms (incorporating sound, movement, text, experimental theatre, sculpture, Performance Art: Body photography, electronic media) that explore the properties and limits of the human & Self Art, Media & Lincoln Park body and the self and identity within the context of contemporary social, cultural, Design political and economic factors. The list of possible subjects for examination includes such prominent artists as Joseph Beuys, Marina Abramovic, Matthew Barney, Orlan, Ana Mendieta, Stelarc, Guillermo Gomez-Peña, and others. Intensive reading, discussions, demonstrations, research papers and a final group performance project will be the components of this class. Filmmaker and screenwriter Joss Whedon has a strong cult following among sci-fi/ fantasy/horror fans and academics alike, with his television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse, his films, such as Toy Story, Alien Resurrection, Serenity, Cabin in the Woods, The Avengers, and his adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, his webseries Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, and his many comic book projects, such as Astonishing X-Men, Runaways, Fray, and various titles based on his television shows, some penned by Whedon himself. Prompted by a vast array Jason Winslade Power, Identity & the F 12:00-3:15 of rich scholarship that began while Buffy was airing and continues today, the field

Discourse Much of this scholarship focuses on the relationship between individuals, communities, and structures of oppressive power demonstrated in Whedon’s texts. In this course, we will engage these themes, particularly focusing on his television work, and the ways in which popular culture narratives provide a commentary on contemporary society and the human condition. We will also focus on Whedon as a public persona with a unique relationship to his fans who, like Whedon himself, often carry ideas from his texts to social activism and charity organizations. In this course, we will study the conflict between modern Jewish nationalism and Daniel Kamin TTh 11:20-12:50 Prospects for Peace in Palestinian nationalism in its many aspects by examining issues of roots and causes

Israel & Palestine as well as the prospects for peace. Wider issues involving the Arab and Islamic International Studies Lincoln Park world and the Jewish community will be explored for their impact on this conflict. focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 Efforts at conflict resolution will be examined through exposure to diverse points of view. The course seeks to synthesize an examination of religion, nationalism, and ethnic identity in order to gain some insight into the possibilities for a peaceful resolution. With a strong emphasis on a literary approach, this course proposes to analyze fairy Guillemette tales of diverse cultures in light of their psychological significance. Using theoretical TTh 11:20-12:50 The Psychology of Johnston perspectives developed from Jungian and Freudian psychology, we will bring out,

Fairy Tales on one hand, the basic role of fairy tales in portraying the development of Lincoln Park Modern Languages individual maturity, and, on the other hand, the typical though universal themes found repeatedly in tales from different cultures. This course will focus on a specific question regarding human evolution: Who were the so-called “cavemen,” and what is their relationship to modern humans? There are several important reasons for focusing on this particular topic in human Marco Aiello MW 9:40-11:10 evolution. One is to separate myth from reality with regard to these early beings Real Cavemen who came to be popularly known as “cavemen.” A second issue is whether these Anthropology Lincoln Park beings are direct ancestors to modern humans, or a side branch that became extinct. A third concerns the issue of human diversity, which, during the last 200 years or so, many scientists have characterized as racial. This course explores the ways that Japan’s iconic warrior class, the samurai, has been understood throughout Japanese history and in literature and popular culture. To build a foundation for our understanding of the samurai, several themes will be explored, including the political and economic relationship of the samurai to the land and private property, the evolution of samurai ethics and values (bushidô, or “the way of the warrior”), and the domestication of the samurai during the early modern period. Students will engage with a wide variety of primary sources such as Samurai in History, Kerry Ross M 6:00-9:15 PM legal documents, autobiographies, and philosophical treatises. Readings and Literature & Popular discussions of literature and popular culture will introduce students to various, Culture History Lincoln Park often contradictory, representations of the samurai class. Starting with canonical works of Japanese literature that deal with the samurai class, students will explore the images of the samurai not only as idealized military heroes and paragons of virile masculinity but also as corrupt government officials and degenerate gamblers. Popular culture will provide the third venue for the investigation of the samurai. In this section students will study portrayals of samurai in film and anime to try to understand the longevity of this symbol of Japanese culture. Joseph Phillips Proof of the existence of a naturally-occurring, extra-terrestrial intelligence would Science & the Search MW 10:10-11:40 be both one of the greatest scientific discoveries and a unique, self-affirming for Extra-Terrestrial Computing & cultural development.

Culturally it would give us an “existence proof” that at least one other technological society has so far staved off self- annihilation. Both the cultural and scientific payoffs of the successful search for extra-terrestrial intelligence have enthralled the public and have influenced politics and pop-culture. This course will cover the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence from multiple scientific perspectives: chiefly those of physicists, chemists and biologists. We will also cover science-based cultural and political views of SETI. This seminar is a selective introduction to the legal treatment of sexual orientation in the United States. The class will investigate the interaction between the law and David Lysik TTh 11:50-1:20 Sexual Orientation & broader attitudes about sexual orientation by exploring how social, cultural and the Law political forces shape, and are shaped by, legal doctrine. Students will examine the Religious Studies Loop subject from several legal perspectives, including constitutional, criminal, family, and nondiscrimination law. This course will use the phenomenon of the soap opera as a way of exploring larger issues of culture, literary studies and visual media. Soap operas have had a long- standing media presence across multiple forms – several soap operas that began on radio in the 1930s and 40s made their way to television in the 1950s, numerous programs that began on television in the 1970s are still ongoing decades later, while the 1970s soap opera Dark Shadows was recently adapted into a feature film. Fur- thermore, soap opera aesthetics have made their way into such diverse media forms as prime-time television dramas and comic books, as the combination of serialized narratives and melodramatic plot structures has proven increasingly popular among Blair Davis TTh 1:30-3:00 a wide range of audiences. Undertaking a threefold approach through cultural Soap Operas studies, literary studies and media studies, students will examine what soap operas Communication Loop can tell us about how we understand such issues as gender, class, race, sexuality, love and death. We will also use the soap opera as a way of analyzing how readers engage with imagery and meaning via the written word, and by comparison how representation is constructed in media such as film and television. Students will be required to participate regularly in class discussions with both the instructor and their peers, as we engage in close readings of a variety of literary and visual texts. Students will also “workshop” completed papers as well as work-in-progress with their peers and the instructor in various weeks as a way of building skills in essay outline and thesis development, preparation and editing of essay drafts, and the considerations involved in the use of primary and secondary sources. Synthesizing materials from the disciplines of literature, film, history, and political David Welch MW 1:00-2:30 science, this course will introduce students to the historical and current roles of Spies spies in both international relations and the American consciousness.

Italy! U.S. citizens are often appalled by news that a government has used force against its own citizens. Recent examples include actions of Muammar Gaddafi’s admini- stration during the recent uprising in Libya and actions by Assad’s administration in the current civil war, including the possible use of chemical weapons. It seems the very antithesis of the purpose of government. Yet, in most countries it is govern- ment that has a legitimate “right” to use violence or force for certain purposes and within the boundaries set by a constitution, laws, and/or democratic principles. This course examines the U.S. government’s use of violence and coercion during labor strikes to explore the circumstances under which the government has taken Susan Bennett TTh 4:20-5:50 such action and the arguments used to justify that action. The rationales used have State Use of Violence varied over time, but are similar in nature: to maintain social order, to establish Public Policy Studies Lincoln Park “law and order,” to protect the “American way of life,” and to protect national security. Two significant labor conflicts/strikes occurred in Chicago during the Gilded Age (late 19th century): the Haymarket bombing and trial and the Pullman strike. Examining these two events in depth and comparing them with other labor conflicts will provide an empirical base for thinking about the government’s use of violence and coercion. The course will conclude with a comparison of the Gilded Age with contemporary society, dubbed by some commentators, the “second Gilded Age.” Based on these events, how would one assess the legitimacy of the U.S. government’s use of violence and coercion: has it been within the constraints

focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 of the constitution and national laws; has it violated any democratic principles; who has benefited from it; and who has borne the costs? What are the similarities and differences in the state’s use of violence and coercion during the two Gilded Ages? In the study of aesthetics, the sublime is described as an experience that is both beautiful and overwhelming. While having origins in ancient Greece, the sublime reached its pinnacle of popularity in 18th-century European philosophy, art and literature. In the late 20th century there was a renewed interest in the subject. Post- structuralist theorists like Lacan and Lyotard began writing about the sublime. Mary Jane Duffy TTh 1:00-2:30 Contemporary artists Barnett Newman, Ross Bleeckner and Fred Tomaselli

The Sublime attempted to represent the sublime in visual form. The sublime also appeared in Art, Media & Lincoln Park movies like Fargo, Psycho, Apocalypse Now, and David Lynch’s Lost Highway. Design How have different philosophers, writers and artists defined the sublime? How can we compare it to the idea of the beautiful or the gothic? What is the term associated with in different places and times and why? What function does this experience serve in society? Why does the idea fall in and out of popularity? Students will ponder these questions and more during the quarter. A show like “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” is further evidence of the fact that people (especially Americans) love to talk (and love to watch other people talk). As far back as the ancient Greeks, the Q&A has served as the basis for human interaction and connection. In this reading- and writing-intensive course, we’ll take a multi-disciplinary approach to the Q&A via film, podcasts, fiction, philosophy, journalism, and pop culture. Among other things, we’ll question the Q&A by Talk Show: Questions Sarah Fay W 1:30-4:45 asking how it functions as a conversational style that dictates our personal & Answers from Plato relationships; makes people realize their own ignorance, as in Plato’s dialogues; to Fallon English Loop gets people to reveal “the truth,” as in police interrogations—real and imagined— and journalism; structures documentary films; and has shaped the interviews and profiles that appear in a magazine like Playboy. Assignments will include a photo essay-interview (think: “Humans of New York”), a street interview (think: “Billy on the Street”), a five-minute documentary produced using the Q&A, two short essays, and a final “argument” paper (Platonic dialogue or persuasive essay). This course will focus on one of the most important trials, and, indeed, one of the most important events, in Western history and culture – the trial and death of Michael Naas MW 2:40-4:10 Socrates. As a multi-disciplinary course combining philosophical, literary, and The Trial & Death of historical materials, we will look at the trial of Socrates from a variety of different Socrates Philosophy Lincoln Park perspectives - that is, as an historical event, as a drama at the center of some of the most beautiful and significant works of art in Western culture, and as the origin and inspiration for philosophy itself.

focal point seminars  winter quarter 2016  as of 10/01/2015 One phenomenon of the first-year experience is the opportunity to make new friends and forge new relationships, often for the first time since elementary school. Perhaps students are discarding “old” friends, and attaching themselves to a new set of cohorts. Maybe first-year students find themselves clinging to the old, rejecting the new. Critical questions for first-year students, indeed for everyone Beth Ann Bryant- sharing the human experience, include: What makes a friend? Why are we drawn to Richards T 5:45-9:00 PM certain individuals? What repels us? What reasons do we have for discarding The Truth & Beauty of friends and how difficult is it to move on? Do issues of ability or disability, class, Friendship Writing, Rhetoric & Loop gender, race, ethnicity, age, and experience influence our relationships? Why or why Discourse not? The course will pose questions such as: what brings humans together, binds them, tears them apart? What roles do issues such as differing abilities, gender, age, ethnicity, and class play in human friendship? Through Socratic student-led dialogue, large and small group discussion, in-class writing assignments, homework assignments, and research, the members of the class will formulate answers to some of the concerns posed. This course asks grand and challenging questions: Where does evil come from? Why does it exist? What is its nature precisely? And how do we know? Why are villains so interesting and, likewise, why are traditional “good guys” so singularly bland? The question “does God exist?” precedes only by philosophical seconds the inevitable inquiries above. To be sure, there seems a logical disconnect between the Brian Niro MW 8:00-9:30 Villainy: Where Does existence of God and the existence of evil. This is not to observe simply that the

Evil Come From? first should preclude the second; rather, the relationship between these two English Lincoln Park questions invites us to take an analytical scalpel to the intense social, moral, philosophical, historical, psychological, and theological significance of evil itself. In this course, the student will engage in a clinical observation of villainy as the cultural manifestation of evil – an ambitious project that should tell us as much (or more) about the substance of our own morality as it does about base evil. What happens when we go for a walk? What or whom do we encounter? What if we do more than just passively put one foot before the other? What if we consider walking as inspiring or even purposeful? In this course, we will investigate these questions and others as we look at the impacts of walking in literature, Heather McShane contemporary art, and sociopolitics. We will consider the works and actions of MW 1:30-3:00 such people as writers Guy Debord, Frank O’Hara, Li Po, Robert Walser, and The Walk/er Writing, Rhetoric & William Wordsworth; artists Marina Abramovic, Janet Cardiff, Tehching Hsieh, Loop Discourse Richard Long, Bruce Nauman, Yoko Ono, and Adrian Piper; activists Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.; and oral historian Studs Terkel. We will read from Rebecca Solnit’s seminal book on the history of walking, Wanderlust. As a group and separately, we will walk. Additionally, walking will serve as the basis for a creative project and a research paper.

Museums gave rise to these important modern institutions. How and why did these Public Policy Studies Lincoln Park institutions emerge? Why did they assume the forms and structures that they did? What were the key processes that shaped their development? What role did they play in colonial empires? This course is based on the text Yoga Sutras of Patañjali. This text is considered the authoritative exposition of classical yoga, and it underlies all yoga practice as it currently exists in India and throughout the world. Students will compare versions of the same text as translated and interpreted by different authors. In addition, students will become familiar with the philosophy of the Yoga Sutras as well as with a number of Sanskrit terms (words for nonviolence, truthfulness, non-greediness, Guillemette TTh 1:00-2:30 sexual continence, ignorance, meditation, yoga-devotion, moral principles, bliss, Johnston Yoga Sutras etc.) that are used to define this philosophy, even in common, modern-day English.

Several hatha yoga sessions will provide students with first-hand experience of some of the practices of yoga.
