The purpose of this course is to learn how to write effective narrative screenplays, with an emphasis on the creation of short scripts. In order to explore and identify basic dramatic principles of story, character, and structure, we will analyze numerous short scripts and films made from them. We will look at how the dramatic principles of short scripts have been expanded and turned into feature screenplays by exploring the work of various successful contemporary writers and filmmakers. Once we establish the basics of effective screenplays, students will apply these concepts to the development of their own original short scripts. By the end of the semester, students will have written several complete short scripts that are ready to be shot on their own, produced as part of a St. Thomas filmmaking course, or that could be developed further into feature length screenplays. This course counts as a production/practice course for students pursuing the Film Studies major or minor and as an elective course for English majors and minors. Finally, this course also satisfies a WAC Writing in the Discipline requirement. Please note that this course does not count towards the core literature and writing requirement.

This course is an introduction to the issues surrounding social conflict. It centers on equipping students with the theory and skills of conflict analysis and processes of engaging in conflict on the global, local and interpersonal levels. It contrasts a traditional conflict resolution model with conflict transformation, a paradigm that appreciates how conflict and violence are connected to underlying issues of justice. The course introduces students to a wide range of conflict transformation processes such as negotiation, mediation, dialogue, facilitation, restorative justice and conflict advocacy. It provides students with the opportunities to participate in these processes and explore potential vocational paths in the field of conflict transformation. As a component of the practice of the skills taught in this course, students organize and lead the annual World Cafe, a university-wide interdisciplinary dialogue. Throughout, the course engages students in a process of rigorous reflection of the ethics involved in engaging conflict.

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.
