How have heroic ideals changed from Beowulf to the 18th century? How did marriage evolve from an arrangement between tribes and families to love between two people? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework through extensive readings in the British literary tradition in the period from approximately 900-1780. Threaded throughout the literature are themes such as war and conflict, the history of love, humor and satire, social reform, religious reform and the rights of the individual.

The Jane Austen Society writes, "In 2025 we'll mark the 250th birthday of Jane Austen—a literary icon who continues to entertain, delight, and inspire generations of readers." That last comment is, if anything, an understatement: Austen's novels have never gone out of print, been adapted into films and television miniseries, inspired spin-offs like Bridgerton, inspired reams of other fan fiction, motivated re-enactors, and even created memes. So it is altogether fitting and proper that we should mark her anniversary with a course devoted to her work. In ENGL 390, we will read a selection of Austen's six novels, including SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, and PERSUASION; explore the major film adaptations; and study some of the best fan fiction, namely the superb play trilogy, CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon (MISS BENNETT, THE WICKHAMS, and GEORGIA AND KITTY). Austen’s sharp social satire clearly still speaks to our own time, highlighting familial, relational, and community issues of gender, class, privilege, and social justice, all topics we will explore. This course satisfies both the Integrations in the Humanities and Global Perspectives core requirements, as well as a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 121 or 190.

FILM 300 World Cinema: Director’s Cut with Professor Itkin What are the qualities of a film that allow casual viewers and cinephiles alike to identify films as distinctly Kubrickian, Hitchcockian, Felliniesque, etc.? Is it the visual style? The meaning-making technique? The unique artistic vision that shines through cinematography? This course explores the legacy of cinematic innovation of some of the world’s most prominent classic and contemporary “film auteurs." Auteur theory argues that certain film directors are able to put an individual stamp on their work such that they can be regarded as the legitimate “author” of their films. Through weekly viewings of select films and critical engagement with a variety of material—including essays, interviews, biographies and supplementary videoclips, topical readings, and discussions—we will test this argument. By the end of the course students will develop an understanding of film auteurs' contributions to the evolution of world cinema and develop an informed appreciation of film as an immersive meaning-making art medium.

This special topics course, Social Justice in Latin American Culture, will address how struggles for Social Justice have played an important role in politics, culture, and social life in Latin America. Shaped by 1960s and 1970s discourse and addressing colonial legacies, these struggles include literature, music, and movements demanding land reform, protesting violence, or redefining politics: all have started by embracing evolving concepts of Social Justice. In this course, we will explore the challenged and varied history of that concept and the deep influence in the culture of the Spanish speaking countries of the region. More importantly, we will ask how different groups answer the question of fairness in their societies today.

This specific offering of the course, Afro-Hispanic Literatures and Cultures, 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 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.

This specific offering of the course, Afro-Hispanic Literatures and Cultures, 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 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.

This special topics course, Social Justice in Latin American Culture, will address how struggles for Social Justice have played an important role in politics, culture, and social life in Latin America. Shaped by 1960s and 1970s discourse and addressing colonial legacies, these struggles include literature, music, and movements demanding land reform, protesting violence, or redefining politics: all have started by embracing evolving concepts of Social Justice. In this course, we will explore the challenged and varied history of that concept and the deep influence in the culture of the Spanish speaking countries of the region. More importantly, we will ask how different groups answer the question of fairness in their societies today.

This section examines how technology shapes our identities and our relationships with nature, other people, and the transcendent. Does technology bring us closer to the natural world or make it harder to experience it? Does it help or hinder our relationships with other people and with God? We’ll look at historical examples, such as the impact of electric lights, and current technologies, like facial recognition technology and prosthetic enhancements of the body. The course readings will include a range of voices from Christian theology, from ancient to modern times, that offer insight on sharing a meaningful human life with others and discerning the presence of the divine in work, leisure, silence, and the natural world.

This course will explore various approaches to God and God's relationship to humankind, including perspectives written by people traditionally on the margins of theological research. A central question for this section will be how God responds to injustice. This course explores the role of scripture, history, tradition and experience in the understanding of God. It examines both old and new theologies, asking key theological questions such as, “What difference does it make how people picture God?” “How could a good God create a world where evil and suffering are possible?” or “If God has a plan for the world, are we free to make our own choices?”

Open to all students, not only theology majors, the signature work in theology course is designed as a capstone experience to integrate a student’s entire college career, bringing fullness of expression to the University’s efforts through the liberal arts core to educate morally responsible leaders who, grounded in the Catholic intellectual tradition, think critically, act wisely, and work skillfully to advance the common good. There are two types of signature work in theology: signature work that is focused on contemporary challenges, or signature work that is focused on faith and the professions. Signature work that is focused on contemporary challenges will invite students to conduct research and/or experiential learning around matters of pressing concern according to the instructor’s discretion, such as fostering understanding across lines of religious difference; cultivating interfaith leadership; searching for beauty; establishing justice and peace; or responding to contemporary challenges such as environmental sustainability, immigration, or mass incarceration. Signature work that is focused on vocation may explore the integration of theology with a profession of the instructor’s choosing, such as the management professions, the legal professions, the medical professions, the public health professions, the psychological professions, or the engineering professions. Prerequisites: THEO 100 and a student must have at least 80 credits completed.

This section involves an examination of the views of various religions and ideologies on issues of justice and peace, with special attention to the Catholic and other Christian teachings on such issues as war and peace, violence, economic justice, the environment, criminal justice, and social justice. Special attention is given to how fundamental presuppositions and principles of each group studied affect their views on justice and peace, and contribute to or hinder dialogue and peaceful interaction with other groups. In addition to Christianity, students will study (at least) one far eastern worldview (e.g. Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism), one tribal religion (Native American, African), Islam, and one secular worldview (e.g. Marxism, capitalism, secular humanism). Students are required to investigate one worldview in depth through a semester-long research project.

This course attempts to offer a brief introduction to the fields of comparative theology and religious studies by studying various approaches to and conceptions of religion. At the end of the course, it will be important for students to have a grasp on the historical timeline, key figures, common texts and practices of each of the traditions covered throughout the semester. The main concern of the course is for students to develop a greater understanding of and appreciation for how religion is embedded in all dimensions of human experience, meaning that religion, despite the emphasis in the West, is not simply a matter of private beliefs, but has implications for our public life together. We will engage both historical and contemporary events as we attempt to understand how religion both shapes and is shaped by the political, cultural and social dimensions of our world.
