This course provides a critical investigation into the quest for meaning and happiness as found in the Catholic tradition. Beginning with fundamental Catholic claims about what it means to be a human being, this course explores the call to beatitude in materials from several disciplines, including theology, philosophy, literature, and art, as well as ancient, medieval, and contemporary sources. Topics explored include a consideration of human persons in relation to divine persons, the supernatural end to human life, the human person as experiencing desire and suffering, the Christian paradox that joy may be found in the giving of one's self, and the search for happiness through friendship and love. Through all these topics, the course particularly examines the question, "What is the specifically unique character of Christian happiness?"

The purpose of this course is to learn how to write effective narrative screenplays, with an emphasis on the creation of short scripts. In order to explore and identify basic dramatic principles of story, character, and structure, we will analyze numerous short scripts and films made from them. We will look at how the dramatic principles of short scripts have been expanded and turned into feature screenplays by exploring the work of various successful contemporary writers and filmmakers. Once we establish the basics of effective screenplays, students will apply these concepts to the development of their own original short scripts. By the end of the semester, students will have written several complete short scripts that are ready to be shot on their own, produced as part of a St. Thomas filmmaking course, or that could be developed further into feature length screenplays. This course counts as a production/practice course for students pursuing the Film Studies major or minor and also satisfies a WAC Writing in the Discipline requirement.

This specific offering of the course examines 20th and 21st century literary representations of afro-identity in Latin America, the Spanish Caribbean and Equatorial Guinea with special attention to the intersections of race, gender, class, and nationality. We will analyze how the work of art (a literary text, a movie, a painting, a song, to name a few examples) serves as a space for reflection on concepts such as ‘race,’ ethnicity, hegemony, resistance, multiculturalism, and hybridity. Primary readings will be supplemented by relevant historical, critical, and theoretical texts. Along with these readings we will also view documentaries and films that deal specifically with issues of race and ethnicity within these minority communities. Class discussion will focus on how identities are constructed within the space of fiction and other artistic representations. The objective for this course offering is to provide an overview of contemporary literary works by Latin American, Caribbean and Equatorial Guinean writers of African descent. Monday and Wednesday in person, Friday online/asynchronous.
