The Earth's surface is dominated by vast oceans known for the beauty of their wildlife and waters. The oceans are also increasingly recognized for their critical importance to the functioning of the Earth's climate system and for their endangered natural resources. For example, the ocean- atmospheric climate phenomenon known as El Nino Southern Oscillation has gained household name recognition for its global impact on the weather, economy, and public health. In this course we will explore the physical, chemical, and biological processes that characterize the oceans. Students will develop research and analytical skills by making observations and interpretations of oceanographic processes using data, demonstrations, and field experiences. Prerequisites: One of GEOL 102, 110, 111, 113, 114, 115, 161, 162, or 163 or permission of instructor.

In this class students will investigate how and why particular policies are developed, proposed, adopted, and implemented; will explore how social values shape and impact public policies; and will learn how to frame issues in ways that allow for more effective advocacy. The class will examine the relative power of diverse corporate and non-profit sectors in influencing policy debates and outcomes, including the role of think tanks. Students will analyze the limitations and strengths of diverse approaches to advocacy ranging from third-party appeals and solidarity efforts to elite decision makers, as well as the prospects for a politics of agency rooted in citizen-centered politics in which people mobilize to meet the needs of their communities. The course will integrate basic theory, interaction with public policy analysts and advocates, personal experience in persuasive advocacy, and case studies focused on issues such as climate change, economic inequality, land-food-hunger, and approaches to health care. Assignments will introduce students to various tools for persuasive advocacy and allow them to develop skill sets for using them.

Public Health policies are inescapable, critical, but often invisible components of our everyday lives. The accessibility, cost and quality of health care; our preparedness for disasters; the safety of our food, water, environment and medications; the right to make individual decisions about our personal health and well-being; and many other issues are vitally tied to health policies and laws. Health policies and laws may have a lasting effect on our quality of life as individuals and on our welfare as a nation. This course examines the relationship between public health research and policymaking. Complex health policy problems facing policymakers today will be discussed. Specifically, this course examines healthcare policy from a public health perspective. Over the course of the semester, we will discuss federal, state, and local health policies in order to improve our understanding of how and why policies were and are developed and how research, politics, and other social factors inform the health policymaking process. Many of the contemporary health policy problems facing federal, state, and local policymakers today will be explored. Prerequisites: PUBH 220 or approval of the instructor

In this course students will learn introductory techniques and principles of translation, review Spanish grammar and improve their reading and writing skills. The main objective of this course will be to develop the necessary skills in order to become proficient communicators in bilingual contexts. We will mainly use Spanish as a source language to translate an array of journalistic, literary, academic, and technical texts into English. At some specific instances, we will translate from English to Spanish to give students the opportunity to practice this skill as well. To enhance the practical component of the course, we will reflect on key theoretical issues related to translation practice through selected readings on translation as a process and as a product, cultural issues in translation, and the role of the translator today. Prerequisites: Successful completion of SPAN 301 and 305 or their equivalents with a C- or better in each course, (may be taken simultaneously with SPAN 305).

SPAN 487 Topics: Novelas-Cervantes/Zayas (2 cr.) Stories of Love, Power, and Deception: Cervantes & Zayas in Context: Step into the world of 17th-century Spain, where tales of love, wit, betrayal, and resistance come alive in prose that shaped the modern short story. This 2-credit seminar explores two extraordinary collections of novellas that defined—and defied—the ideals of their age: Miguel de Cervantes’s Novelas ejemplares and María de Zayas’s Novelas amorosas y ejemplares and Desengaños amorosos (Parte segunda del Sarao y entretenimientos honestos). Across these works, the ejemplar—the “exemplary” tale meant to teach a moral—becomes something far more complex. Cervantes crafts stories of rogues, lovers, and tricksters that balance irony and virtue, while Zayas transforms the form into a bold feminist critique, exposing the dangers of love, the constraints on women’s lives, and the violence masked by honor and decorum. This course counts toward the Spanish major and minor, and it is a Global Perspectives and Writing-in-the-Discipline course.

SPAN 488 Topics: Moorish Cult.-Early Spain (2 cr.) Voices of Al-Andalus: Moorish Spain and its Cultural Legacy: Step into medieval Iberia, where Arabic poetry echoed through palaces, scholars translated ancient wisdom by lamplight, and the scent of orange blossoms drifted across courtyards of marble and mosaic. This 2-credit seminar (taught in Spanish) explores the luminous world of Moorish Spain—a crossroads of languages, religions, and ideas whose legacy still shapes the Spanish imagination today. Through readings, images, and discussion, we will journey across eight centuries of Al-Andalus (711–1492), the Muslim-ruled territories of the Iberian Peninsula. We will trace the rise of Córdoba as a center of learning and refinement, the artistry of Granada’s Alhambra, and the persistence of Mudéjar and Morisco cultures after the Reconquista as well as debates resulting in the eventual expulsion of Spain’s Morisco population (1609 - 1613 ). This course counts toward the Spanish major and minor, and it is a Global Perspectives, and Writing-in-the-Discipline course.
