In AMCD 200, students learn about the historical and theoretical foundations of Cultural Studies as an academic discipline and use cultural theory to analyze a variety of cultural products and representations. In this course, students look specifically at dominant and subversive constructions of gender, race, ethnicity, national and sexual identities, and how these constructions are deployed through cultural practices and productions such as sports, film and television, folklore and popular culture, youth subcultures, music, and so on. For example, the course may contain units on "nation" and the creation of American mythologies; the process of hero-making in American history; stereotypes and the representation of race and ethnicity in television and film; representations of gender and sexuality in advertising; as well as a section on American music from jazz, blues, folk and roots music, to rock and roll, punk, and hip-hop.

Street art—including graffiti, murals, and other installations in public space—provides expressive avenues for marginalized voices, shapes urban space, and promotes competing visions of community development. In contrast to art that is created for museums or the commercial art market, street art is uniquely positioned to engage with social issues from a critical perspective. This class will involve an analysis of street art projects from the United States, situated in comparison with projects from around the world. Topics to explored include the history of street art over time (from its origins in graffiti to contemporary mural festivals); the impetus for street art in communities in the USA and globally; models for creating, preserving, and presenting street art; the institutionalization of street art; street art as it relates to diversity and inclusion; and, ultimately, the potential for street art to play a role in social change.

This Course focuses on analyzing and understanding Classical epic poetry, the ancient presentation of heroic figures and heroic exploits, and recognizing the influence of epic/heroic literature on the modern storytelling device of film. While the genre of epic is central to the course, other genres (both literary and cinematic) which present he-roic figures, e.g., tragedy, history, comedy, action, fantasy, will also be explored. Analyzing the works read or viewed via writing and class discussion will constitute the primary course activities; students will engage in reading, viewing and writing outside of class, while class time will include some writing, viewing and discussion. In order to allow am-ple time for discussion and analysis, the majority of films in their entirety will be viewed outside of class. The course grade will be based substantially on written analysis (i.e., essays, papers) of the texts and films studied. ENGL 203 may also be substituted for this course.

Short stories, because of their compression and intensity, offer lively plots and constant surprises. To the delight of readers everywhere, American authors provide a wellspring of tales that uncover our past, define our present, and speak to our future. In keeping with our diverse American heritage, stories have been chosen from a broad cross-section of literary and cultural traditions. Alongside canonical authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, we’ll read the works of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Wakako Yamauchi, Kate Chopin, Eudora Welty, Ray Bradbury, and others, examining how these diverse voices diverge from, resist, and transform the traditional American short story canon. This course satisfies a WAC Writing to Learn requirement and an Integrations in the Humanities requirement.; Please note that ENGL 201 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 202, 203, or 204.

How did the modern warfare of World War I change those who fought and those who stayed at home? Why did so many of the best American artists flee to Paris? How did the traditionalism and stability of the 1950s lead to the radicalism and rebellion of the 60s? How has technology, from the typewriter to the internet, reshaped literature? Such questions will be explored in a chronological framework though extensive readings in American literature from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. Threaded throughout the literature are themes such as progress and innovation, war, the “lost generation,” the New Woman, race, and conformity and individuality. This course fulfills the Historical Perspectives requirement in the English major. Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121, or 190.

The core of our study will center around works of 20th century world literature that might be best called existential – existential for the ways in which they address questions about human agency, authenticity, responsibility, and what constitutes a meaningful life. Toward that end, we will also study precursors of existential literature, beginning with such 18th century writers as Voltaire, then move forward in time to Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Ibsen and Nietzsche, before settling into such key 20th century figures as Freud, Kafka, Pirandello, Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt, and Clarice Lispector. This course satisfies both an Integrations in the Humanities requirement and the Global Perspectives core requirement, as well as the WAC Writing to Learn requirement. Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121, or 190. NOTE: This course was formerly titled The Modern Tradition.

Narrative Medicine Minor Appr
Writing to learn
Increasingly, education for nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals includes the practices of reading literature, writing reflectively, and engaging in role-play to learn how to care for patients (and for themselves). This is sometimes called narrative medicine. By focusing on stories (of the patient, the healthcare professional, and the cultures and systems in which both live) and therefore humanizing the often-impersonal world of the healthcare system, it improves the quality of care for patients and reduces burnout among healthcare professionals. In this course we will engage in practices of narrative medicine, reading and writing about literature as a means of understanding ourselves and others. The texts we'll read illuminate questions about pain and illness, empathy and the training of healthcare professionals, the health implications of racial and economic injustice, and the need for reformation of the healthcare system. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190, or transfer equivalent

Writing to learn
This course is focused on the multiplicities of narrative that are sport, with a special emphasis on American authors and U.S. sports journalism. Sports by definition are stories that literally play out in front of us: stories that involve conflict – conflict within the self, conflict in relationships, conflict against the elements, and, if we believe it possible, conflict with the supernatural. Through sports literature, students will thoughtfully investigate human interactions: the best we have to offer and sometimes the worst. Sports literature, whether that be fiction, non-fiction, drama, or poetry, asks us to consider what is just and what is unjust -- and how we discern which is which. Analytical and creative non-fiction writing assignments put students in thoughtful conversation with the ways that race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, class, disability, or other underrepresented or marginalized positions affect our engagement with sports and our world. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190, or transfer equivalent.

This course surveys literature by women across the long twentieth century—from early-century writers like Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Virginia Woolf to contemporary writers such as Tracy K. Smith, Sarah Howe, and Ada Limón. Along the way, we will discuss social, cultural, and historical context, including contemporary issues. We will also read, analyze, and emulate the recent work of essayists such as Leslie Jamison and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie—writers who have forged new conversations about women, feminism, and gender studies. The course requires community involvement (event attendance and excursions), regular reading and writing assignments, and enthusiastic participation in class discussion. This course satisfies both an Integrations in the Humanities and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirements, as well as a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. In addition, this course satisfies a major/minor requirement for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies students; it also satisfies the Human Diversity and Context and Convergences requirements for English with Literature & Writing majors, a Human Diversity requirement for English with Professional Writing majors, and a literature requirement for English with Creative Writing majors.

This course is about how 19th c. American literary traditions use Gothic tropes and modes to represent an idea of nature and the natural world. While we often think of “nature writing” as having a positive emotional orientation to human/nature relationships (in which safe exposure to wildness heals and refreshes our spirit, natural resources support human endeavors, and we do our best to use these resources wisely) such pastoralism masks darker truths. For example, the wallpaper in The Yellow Wallpaper looks like convulsing mushrooms and wallowing seaweeds. Frederick Douglass repeatedly uses images of being trapped in the earth to describe his despair while enslaved. In Poe’s famous story, Usher thinks it is stones and mold that cause his madness, and cursed mansions tend to collapse into lakes and oceans in Southern Gothic stories. With these and other examples in mind, we will turn our attention to a counter-tradition of nature writing in which negative emotional states prevail: fear, dread, even hate. In our readings of these and other “ecogothic” texts we will attend to a range of 19th c. contexts including: new ideas about the earth in geology and geography, claims about human nature in sexology, psychology, and scientific racism; mining and other extractive industries; and political movements like abolitionism, feminism, and animal rights. This course satisfies an Integration in the Humanities and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice core requirements, as well as a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. It also counts for the Sustainability minor. Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121, or 190.

This course explores the ways in which literature and film represent the natural world, engage with ecological concerns like the environmental implications of AI, and invite us to reimagine our relationship with our planet. From Indigenous worldviews to climate change to speculative futures, we’ll examine how narrative forms—novels, poetry, memoirs, and cinema—help us make sense of our planet. Our texts will include voices from the Global South to shed light on how environmental issues intersect with colonial histories. Along the way, we’ll also engage with key concepts such as the Anthropocene, ecofeminism, and postcolonial ecologies. Students will develop critical tools to analyze narratives, reflect on what it means to live ethically and imaginatively in a time of environmental uncertainty, and consider how storytelling can inspire awareness, resistance, and change. And, of course, there will always be room for wonder—for recognizing the amazing gift that is our planet. We will begin with a book that captures this wonder: Samantha Harvey’s ORBITAL. Other texts for the semester may include Octavia Butler’s PARABLE OF THE SOWER, Amitav Ghosh’s THE HUNGRY TIDE, Robin Wall Kimmerer's BRAIDING SWEETGRASS, and Mai Der Vang's PRIMORDIAL. This course satisfies an Integration in the Humanities requirement and a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. Application is being made to have this course count as meeting a Sustainability requirement (approval not guaranteed). Prerequisite: ENGL 106, 121, or 190.

This course is designed to introduce students to the filmmaking process, from script to screen. We will concentrate our attention on two main elements - understanding the technical concerns of narrative filmmaking (the apparatuses, learning camera functions and techniques, and using editing software), AND developing students' artistic voice through storytelling and film analysis. The course aims to strengthen students' ability to conceive and flesh out ideas that will lead to compelling, authentic, personally meaningful short films and give them the critical foundation of film study and production tools to execute their ideas. Students will begin to develop their own artistic vision and style through filmmaking. Pre-requisite: DIMA 240

This course trains students in the use of a wide range of film theory and criticism as tools for interpreting film and media as texts, as narrative, as works of art, as historical artifacts, as political expression, as semiotic systems, as mediums of identity and social change, and more. Building on knowledge and skills learned in FILM 200 Introduction to Film, students will learn a range of compelling critical methods for the analysis of film and media, including many of the following: auteur theory; psychoanalysis; feminism, gender and masculinity studies; Marxism; cultural studies; queer theory; audience reception and star studies; postcolonialism; genre analysis; and race and ethnicity, among others. Film Theory and Criticism will help situate you as informed, critically engaged viewers of global film and media texts and practices. Each area of film criticism will be accompanied by a screening of a film or films that elucidate main points of the area of film theory that is the focus for that week. Through the combination of canonical theoretical approaches and more contemporary angles developed since the 1970s, this course will provide you with skills necessary to interpret films as collaborative art works, as technical artifacts, as sociocultural and ideological productions, and as products of a globalized media world. Prerequisite: Film 200 or instructor permission.

This course provides an in-depth study of a particular area of Hispanic Linguistics. Topics may vary with each offering and may include History of the Spanish Language, Spanish Pragmatics, and Spanish in the U.S. Credit may be earned more than once under this number for different emphases. Spring 2026: In this course we will consider how our traditional perception of words and meaning (e.g. the practice of looking up definitions of a word in the dictionary) fails to explain how we communicate and understand one another’s thoughts, feelings, needs, etc. As successful communicators, we constantly rely on our contextual knowledge to interpret what speakers intend to say, and the study of Pragmatics provides us with insight into this process. In addition to studying different linguistic phenomena in Spanish, we will also take into account differences between Spanish and English. First 60 minutes via Zoom + asynchronous work

The course introduces students to social, political, cultural, and economic developments from the American Civil War to the present day. It not only traces how ideas and lived experiences within each of those categories of historical analysis changed over time, but also shows how developments in each realm of American life shaped the others. It pays special attention to how American politics, institutions, and cultural norms emerged from—and produced—a changing role for the United States in its global context. It also interrogates how efforts to define American identity have both provided the terrain for inclusion and been used to justify the exclusion of various people, including racial, ethnic, and immigrant groups, people of different genders and sexual identities, and people of diverse religious and political beliefs.

Introduces students to historical reasoning. Students learn to analyze evidence from the past in context in order to explain how the past produced the ever-changing present. This course will look at the history of East Asia in regional and global contexts. Students will build a foundation by learning about the formative era of Chinese history in the first millennium BCE, focusing on the creation of Confucianism and the imperial system. They will follow East Asia’s emergence as a distinct historical region comprising China, Korea, and Japan, and the ties these countries maintained among themselves and with the rest of Asia. As they enter the early modern era, students will focus on connections between East Asia and the world, such as the silver economy. The class will conclude by looking at East Asia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with a special emphasis on global historical themes of colonialism and industrialization. Through this class, students will learn to analyze changes and continuities over long periods of time. They will also learn to frame historical events in their local specificity as well as in their common humanity.

This course is a study of ancient Greek social structures, political processes, culture, beliefs, and moral values, from the Mycenaean society in the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic world of Alexander's legacy. The objective is to learn about major social, political, economic, and cultural change over time in the Greek world, with regard to the wider context of the surrounding cultures. We examine textual and material evidence in order to learn about the nature, value, and explication of primary sources and about historical, archaeological and anthropological methods of inquiry and analysis. Overall, we seek to understand the historic roots of modern issues and the relevance of past experiences, while keeping abreast of recent research and current scholarly debate.

Topics: Intro to Culture and Religion in Healthcare In healthcare environments, it is increasingly recognized that social determinants, such as ethnicity, socio-economic status, environment, etc., play important roles in determining the quality of care that is offered, as well as overall health outcomes. Recently, religious and spiritual concerns have been added to this list of social determinants of health. Indeed, there is evidence that, in some situations, attentiveness to these concerns is key to patient satisfaction. Through readings, discussion, guest speakers, role playing, etc., we will address the need to recognize the cultural and religious values of patients, clients, and health providers, the reality of inequities that have affected care, and the possibilities for rectifying such inequities.

This course delves into the intricate relationship between religion, spirituality, healing and whole person-centered care within the healthcare context. Students will explore the distinctions between religion and spirituality, and how these elements influence health behaviors, patient care, and the healing process. The course will cover various religious traditions, including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Native American, and Hmong practices, and their unique approaches to health and healing and even death. Additionally, contemporary spiritual practices such as mindfulness and meditation will be examined. Through case studies and practical applications, students will develop skills to address the spiritual and religious needs of patients, cultivate cultural humility, and integrate religious and spiritual care into healthcare practice. The course will also address the impact of grief on health and explore religious and spiritual approaches to healing. Each week, students will present case scenarios to their peers, providing spiritual and religious context and proposing best practices and approaches for whole person-centered care.

This course will approach music not as a discipline, but as a subject, as an activity, and as an experience that can be discussed in a myriad of ways. Those ways are cross-disciplinary, requiring a mastery of more than one mode of enquiry. Through this course we will be engaging in active and critical listening, reading, and writing on art and popular music in the Western tradition and in cross-cultural encounters involving Western music, from the early modern period to the twenty-first century. We will explore the variety of roles played by musicians in diverse social environments. We will investigate how music operates within a particular historical, social, political or institutional context; how and why different social groups choose their music; how historical, cultural and musical change interrelate; and how, for whom, and why music's value undergoes critical reassessment. Finally, we will seek to understand how and why musical traditions flourish and aspire to foster a humanistic engagement with the musical lives of people that contributed to this flourishing.

Why do we laugh when bad things happen to good people and what makes scary movies surprisingly funny to us? Most cultural traditions around the globe have long identified both music and humor as supremely human activities, profoundly tied to language, community, and social living. In this class we will take comedy seriously. We will look at and listen to movies, asking not only what makes them funny (or not) but also examining how music and sound reinforce the comedic effect of the film. Through weekly engagement with images and sounds from all over the world we will explore the ability of humor not only to challenge boundaries of social and cultural conventions but also redefine our relationships with fear and with things beyond our knowledge.

This course provides an in-depth study into a particular area of Spanish Linguistics. Topics may vary with each offering and may include Phonology/Morphology, Syntax, Dialectology, Semantics/Pragmatics, Discourse Analysis, and Second Language Acquisition. Credit may be earned more than once under this number for different emphases. 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). Spring 2026: In this course we will consider how our traditional perception of words and meaning (e.g. the practice of looking up definitions of a word in the dictionary) fails to explain how we communicate and understand one another’s thoughts, feelings, needs, etc. As successful communicators, we constantly rely on our contextual knowledge to interpret what speakers intend to say, and the study of Pragmatics provides us with insight into this process. In addition to studying different linguistic phenomena in Spanish, we will also take into account differences between Spanish and English. First 60 minutes via Zoom + asynchronous work.

The National Environmental Health Association has listed climate change as the biggest human health threat of the Twenty-First Century. In this course, we will explore the connection between health and the environment by examining the mutual dependency of all forms of life (human, social, animal, vegetal, etc.), with special attention to Spanish-speaking populations. We will scrutinize the interrelated effects of climate change on individual health and social health, and we will examine the effects of human action on environmental health in Spanish-speaking areas. Since unhealthy environments have an especially devastating effect on the mental and physical health of certain communities, this course will cover the above-mentioned topics from a social justice angle, examining both specific problems (environmental pollution, water contamination, pesticides and transgenics in food; hunger) and alternatives (such as food sovereignty, ecofeminism, sumak kawsay) that can be found in the Hispanophone world. The course is conducted 100% in Spanish. We welcome and encourage Spanish Heritage Learners to register for this course.

We will consider questions such as: Does God care about how human beings treat creation? What guidance does scripture offer for how we ought to live on this planet? Is environmental destruction, such as the climate crisis, the result of human sin, or part of God's plan to bring about the end of the world? What are the implications of the conviction that God became human and lived on Earth? Can and ought theologians and scientists work together to overcome environmental problems? How is love of neighbor and commitment to the common good tied to care for creation?

Students learn how these texts provide religious communities with resources to grapple with and perennially reimagine the divine, the natural world, and the common good in human communities. The course emphasizes the role of communal discernment and Spirit-led interpretation of biblical text as religious communities seek ways to make ancient texts ever new.

This course introduces students to central aspects of Christian history, thought, and action concerning ethnicity and race and provides resources to build up what Martin Luther King, Jr., called the “Beloved Community.” The course helps students develop ethical reasoning skills through consideration of various historical and contemporary Christian encounters across lines of racial difference, including examples from monastic communities, papal documents, missionary endeavors, North American churches, the common good in human communities, and saints from the Catholic tradition.. The course emphasizes the role of communal discernment and Spirit-led interpretation of biblical text as religious communities seek ways to make ancient texts ever new.

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 explores the topic of women and the Old Testament from several different vantage points. In the first place, it will try to reconstruct the status and roles of women during the biblical periods at various points in their ancient Near Eastern context. This reconstruction will involve an examination of the legal and narrative material of the Old Testament and cross-cultural studies on women and family life in non-industrial countries. Secondly, the course investigates the conceptions of gender in the Old Testament, including key texts such as the creation stories, the stories about the ancestors, the stories about family honor, the female characters of the historical books of the Bible, the books named after women (Ruth, Esther, Judith), the texts symbolizing women as evil (e.g., the foreign woman, the adulterous wife, the whore of Babylon). Finally, the course studies the interpretive work of biblical scholars and how they utilize various historical and literary-critical methodologies in order to bring issues of gender, race, and class to bear upon the biblical text.

THEO 228: Dialogue and Disagreement in Religiously Diverse Secular Societies This intensive scholarly-practitioner course develops students' knowledge and skills for engaging religious and nonreligious diversity in pluralized secular societies. Through interreligious case study analysis and structured dialogue practice, students explore how individuals navigate religious orientations, disagreement, and civic participation in religiously diverse contexts, particularly in the United States. Rather than surveying world religions, the course critically examines concepts like religion, secularism, and pluralism while building practical competencies in dialogue, deep listening, and respectful disagreement. Students practice communication methods to developing the capacity to facilitate conversations across difference and analyze complex civic dilemmas with multiple perspectives. The course provides opportunities to cultivate dispositions essential for leadership in business, healthcare, education, law, and public service - including curiosity, humility, empathy, resilience, and tolerance for ambiguity. Students examine questions about the role of disagreement in religiously diverse democratic societies and explore different approaches to engaging across ideological and theological difference.

[Core] Signature Work
Writing to learn
If to work is to share in the creative activity of God, then what specific challenge does this pose for an attorney given the grinding realities of the legal profession? If to be a professional is to live out a tripartite relationship between self, client, and a higher standard, then how does an attorney determine, much less respond to such a standard? Through a close reading of a variety of theological texts, treaties, case studies and rules of professional conduct, this course will address these questions and, in so doing, attempt to fashion a paradigm for the Christian practice of law. Within this paradigm, emphasis will be placed on the meaning of justice, law, rights and responsibilities. An ethic of care that fosters the development of a compassionate world and a common life will be emphasized.

[Core] Signature Work
Writing to learn
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 course will investigate constructs of sexuality in Greek and Roman cultures through various sources. We shall begin by asking “How did the Greeks and Romans define or perceive the ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’?," and then examine various types of literature, legal documents, medical treatises, vase paintings, sculpture and inscriptions, as well as modern scholarship on gender, in order to observe the perspectives and attitudes at work in various social, political, religious, literary, practical and artistic contexts.
