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. NOTE: Six seats in this class are reserved for first year students.

This course will examine literary texts which feature the connection between the world of business and American culture. Work has always been an integral part of American society, and individuals often identify themselves with the work that they do. Students will closely read a handful of texts--Willa Cather's A LOST LADY, Solomon Northup’s 12 YEARS A SLAVE, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s THE GREAT GATSBY, Mario Puzo’s THE GODFATHER, Arthur Miller’s DEATH OF A SALESMAN, and Colson Whitehead’s APEX HIDES THE HURT--to explore how the dominant cultural narratives behind common perceptions of American business (such as the American Dream and the self-made person) shift from the pre-Civil War era through the early twenty-first century. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement; an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; and a Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement. Please note that ENGL 202 is non-repeatable; students wishing to take a second 200-level Texts in Conversation course will need to register for ENGL 201, 203, or 204.

The difficult contradictions in our criminal justice system – one that purportedly aims to reduce violence and crime, keep us safe, and promote justice – hide in plain sight. Yet we as a society may or may not know the contradictory realities: the violence and injustices that can occur in our jails and prisons, disparities in legal representation and sentencing, and a host of tangled methods and aims often in conflict with one another. While popular "crime" shows keep certain stories ever present in our societal imagination, they tend to obscure deeper stories. In this class, we will attempt to enter into those deeper stories using film, online media, and texts. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement, an Integration in the Humanities requirement, and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

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 Prerequisites: ENGL 120, ENGL 121, or ENGL 190

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.

By examining slave societies in Brazil, Cuba, and the United States, this course considers the commonalities and differences in African slavery across the Americas during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. We trace the history of slavery and society through such topics as the Atlantic Trade, plantation v. urban labor, family life, religion and culture, gender, resistance and rebellion, and post-emancipation race relations. Throughout the course, we consider how geographic location and social norms created parallel but distinct systems of slavery. Moreover, we will focus on the sources and methods employed for analyzing those groups that typically lack a historical voice. Focusing on the historiography of slavery, students will gain experience in effectively using evidence to develop an argument, thinking comparatively as a way to analyze information, and learning how to assess or evaluate arguments made by scholars. By the end of the course, students will recognize both the historical conditions of slavery in the Americas and the scholarly treatment of the subject.

This course is an intensive study of North American history from the pre-contact era through the Revolutionary War, exploring the social, cultural, and political developments that shaped the coming of the American Revolution. Emphasis will be placed on the ways in which Native peoples, individuals of African descent, women, and non-elites contributed to the development of Colonial and Revolutionary society. The semester begins with an exploration of the French, British, Spanish, and Dutch colonization of the continent, devoting particular attention to first encounters between Europeans and Native peoples. It moves forward chronologically to examine the growing maturation of colonial society and the resulting breakdown of Anglo-American relations, focusing on the ideological underpinnings of the American Revolution. After an exploration of the conflict, the semester concludes by investigating the postwar struggle to draft and ratify the U.S. Constitution.
