This course provides an investigation into the ways in which Catholicism is inherently social and ecclesial. Its specific focus is on the Christian engagement with the world. The course's framework will be taken from the analysis of society into three spheres of action (culture, politics, and economics) as described in Centesimus annus. We will examine the ways that Revelation, the sacramental life, and the teachings of the Church call Catholics to seek holiness and to witness to their faith in the world. Specific topics may include social and economic justice, politics and public policy, lay and religious apostolates, education, and marriage and family. Course materials may include resources from philosophy, theology, history, economics, and political science.

Even in the land of Super Targets and Big Mac hamburgers, bigger is not always better--at least not in terms of literature. 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 and Ernest Hemingway, we read the works of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Louise Erdrich, Kate Chopin, and others, examining how these diverse voices diverge from, resist, and transform the traditional American short story canon. This course satisfies a WAC Writing Intensive requirement; an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; and the Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement.

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.

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

ENGL 305 is an introduction to the systematic study of the structure and use of the English language, with an emphasis on connections between academic linguistics and relevant social and educational questions. Students will study the English sound system through phonetics and phonology, word formation processes through morphology, and structures and meanings of clauses through syntax and semantics. Throughout the process of learning the linguistic tools to describe the English language, students consider variations of structures and uses in different varieties of English and critically engage with issues related to linguistic difference. With the linguistic toolkit introduced in the class, students will examine instances of language use in various social contexts, addressing the intersections of language and aspects of diversity including race, ethnicity, gender, political perspective, and citizenship. This course fulfills the Theory and Practice requirement in the English with Literature and Writing major and is a required course for English with Secondary Education majors. Prerequisites: ENGL 121 or 190.

This course uses literature to investigate how female athletes use their sport and their bodies to fight for women's rights and to change our world. In 1894-1895, Annie Londonderry biked around the world and spoke out for equality. Frances Willard advocated for the eight-hour workday, equal pay for women, and suffrage, then learned to ride a bike at age 53, and wrote about the freedom biking gave to women. In the winter of 1912 in New York, women walked 170 miles in Suffrage Hikes advocating for their right to vote. These women paved the way for athlete-authors such as Lynne Cox (who held the world record for swimming the English Channel) and Maxine Kumin (who, along with being U.S. Poet Laureate and a Pulitzer Prize winner, was a collegiate swimmer and rower). These and other great women writers explore their sports and their bodies in ways that both reflect and contest societal restrictions and expectations. This course will use their texts and other essays, articles, short stories, novels, and poetry from the late 1800s to today to explore the intersections of women, sport, and the body in literature. This course is ideal for students studying literature, gender, and various facets of physical education, sport, health, and human development. Texts may include: A WHOLE OTHER BALL GAME: WOMEN'S LITERATURE ON WOMEN'S SPORT, AROUND THE WORLD ON TWO WHEELS, WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL, SWIMMING TO ANTARCTICA, CARRIE SOTO IS BACK, and GIRL RUNNER. Additionally, we will venture out of the classroom for some women's sports...maybe even play a little ourselves... and invite pro and semi-pro athletes in as guest speakers. This course satisfies the WAC Writing to Learn requirement as well as an Integrations in the Humanities requirement; the Diversity, Inclusion, & Social Justice requirement; and a Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies major and minor requirement.

Racism & Medical Discrimination in Healthcare - All people should have equal access to medical care without fear of being mistreated or denied services outright. Yet for many, this is not true due to their race, sexual orientation or gender identity. Racism penetrates every aspect of society, including access to and experiences with healthcare. Research shows that blacks and other minority groups in the U.S. experience more illness, worse outcomes, and premature death compared to whites. In addition, stigma, bias and systemic inequalities in health care frequently prevent LGBTQ people from receiving appropriate health care. From the Tuskegee Experiments to Henrietta Lacks to LGBTQIA+ discrimination, this course will provide in-depth analysis and discussion of racism and medical discrimination in healthcare. Students will begin the course by exploring racism and medical discrimination from a historical perspective. The sociological, psychological, and philosophical effects of racism and medical discrimination will be explored with the help of subject matter experts. Particular attention will be paid to female and LGBTQIA+ medical discrimination and the overreaching effects this injustice has on these populations. Students will examine this controversial topic from a historical, sociological, psychological, and philosophical viewpoint all while examining their own experiences and viewpoints on the healthcare system. These interdisciplinary seminars are intended to develop integrating insights through an analysis of topics chosen from different disciplines. Often they are taught by two faculty members or by a visiting lecturer who holds one of the endowed chairs at the university.

This seminar will prepare you to make the most of your honors experience at St. Thomas, including building skills to examine a “sticky problem” from multiple disciplinary lenses, participating in active service with a community partner, engaging in critical self-reflection, working effectively as a team, and refining your leadership skills. Specifically, this semester you will engage with a community partner, Second Harvest Heartland. You will learn about their organizational mission, vision, and strategies; volunteer at their food packaging hub and at a local food shelter served by Second Harvest Heartland; look critically at the organization’s challenges through an interdisciplinary lens and research ways to approach those challenges; and present your conclusions to the organization. This process will include critical self-reflection about how your experiences have influenced how you envision the organization and our society’s challenges. You will also prepare and engage in an Oxford-style debate around a topic related to food security.

This course introduces students to qualitative research theories, methods, and techniques focused on representing voices of women, people of color, people in poverty and others that are marginalized or excluded from dominant culture. Specifically, students will gain familiarity with the qualitative social science methods of interviews, ethnography, documentary research, and focus groups. Throughout the course, students will be guided through the process of designing and conducting their own unique research projects meanwhile learning from ongoing research with their instructors and partner organizations. In addition to training in data collection techniques, analysis, and varied epistemologies, the course thoroughly explores the ethics of research with marginalized communities and the ways in which research can and does relate to social change. Together, participants in this course will co-create a teaching/learning community wherein we all critically analyze and respectfully value each person’s individual and particular contributions as well as our diverse understandings of social reality and how we position ourselves in the multiple worlds in which we live and work.

This course is a comprehensive introduction to the most pressing issues and questions concerning disability. Students will encounter and critically evaluate longstanding stereotypes and biases about the disadvantages of disability. This course examines disability primarily from a philosophical perspective, yet readings from other disciplines will also be used throughout the course. Some of the central questions examined in the course include: What is disability? Is disability merely a medical condition? In what ways do societal barriers disable? How does economic class impact access to educational, medical and social resources? Does disability itself make a person worse off or is it only social stigmatization and lack of accommodation that makes the lives of those with disabilities worse? How have those with disabilities been disadvantaged in the US? What is the basis for human dignity? What conceptual frameworks allow us to uphold the dignity of those with severe disabilities? Which behaviors and assumptions threaten the equality and dignity of those with disabilities? Prerequisite: PHIL 110

Action to achieve social justice depends, ultimately, on an understanding of what social justice is. What makes a society just? How is a just society ordered? What does social justice look like up close? If our society is not currently just, how may we justly make it so? This course considers competing (though sometimes overlapping) accounts of social justice that are of continuing relevance today, such as those found in the traditions of classical liberalism, socialism, Catholicism, and critical theory. One goal is to understand where such accounts agree, where they disagree, and why. Another goal is to appreciate how such traditions have animated and continue to animate the pursuit of justice, especially for marginalized persons in the United States. Prerequisite: PHIL 110

Welcome to PUBH 350: Environment, Health and Justice. In this course we will examine public health structures, principles, tools, and programs used to address current and historical environmental health issues. Throughout the course we will consider how the world we live in impacts our health, how we negatively impact the environment and our own health, and what can be done to improve population health. We will consider these topics from an environmental justice perspective because around the world environmental hazards and diseases are not equally distributed across all populations. Environmental health issues are complex and in order to more fully understand them we will draw on ideas and concepts from sociology, economics and environmental epidemiology, toxicology, and regulation. This course will encourage you to understand and think critically about ways public health systems measure, control, and remove exposures to environmental hazards to protect population health.

In the last half century religious diversity in the West has rapidly increased, bringing people from different religious traditions into daily contact. This has resulted in new conflicts, sometimes in violence, but also in new collaborations and friendships. Drawing on several approaches to interreligious conflict and relations, this course will examine the dynamic encounters that take place between and among people of different religious identities and ask students to reflect on their own role in religiously complex situations. Students will consider this interreligious reality and their role in it against the backdrop of their own individual relationship to spirituality, faith, and theology. To foster interreligious understanding beyond the classroom, students in this course will spend significant time outside the classroom directly engaging religious diversity.
