RFLA 200C 07 - Identity, School and Culture_CE (CRN 10585)
How are identities and cultures of those on the margins represented and negotiated? What are the dangers of a single story, or identification? How to deconstruct marginalization in diverse, micro and macro educational contexts? This course will use the power of personal narratives produced in the tensioned intersections between the dominant and oppressed cultures in education to let students explore the wounds that are made and could (not) be healed in schools and communities. CE course.

RFLA 200C 08 - Climate Change Politics_CE (CRN 10615)
With a dizzying array of scientific, economic, cultural, social, and political variables shaping climate change, even those that recognize it as a threat tend to see climate change as both temporally and geographically distant, unfolding decades down the road - on the other side of the world. Using the narrative lens of ecotourism, our class tackles this misunderstanding, examining locales from here at home to the Galapagos Islands to the Antarctic Peninsula. CE course.

RFLA 200H 01 and 02 - Trauma in Lit and Film (CRNs 10332/10333)
Native American Gemma Benton wrote: “Our ancestors knew that healing comes in cycles. One generation carries the pain so the next can live and heal.” This literature and film course examines the after-effects of cultural collisions like war, genocide, and imperialism by analyzing the representation of intergenerational trauma in literature and film. Texts include: books I was the Child of Holocaust Survivors, Kindred, Dreaming in Cuban, and Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven; and films Waltz with Bashir and Return of Navajo Boy, as well as Kara Walker’s video installations. Our guiding questions will be: How is trauma passed between generations, and how it is represented?; and What are the ethical, cultural, and socio-political ramifications of both trauma and representation? Concepts and contexts related to trauma, identity, nation-state, globalization, imperialism, class, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and the humanities will be explored in depth.

-
RFLA 200H 03 - Mind and Meditation (CRN 10334)
This course will focus on accounts regarding how the self is constructed according to Buddhist philosophy, and Western philosophy of mind and cognitive science. We will examine what the philosopher Michel Foucault has referred to as “technologies of the self,” i.e., techniques that have been employed by individuals to “transform themselves in order to attain a certain state of happiness, purity, wisdom.” So we will consider the construction of identities, and examine techniques that have been employed to function as mirrors and windows for the construction of self, through studying the theory of Buddhist meditation.

-
RFLA 200H 04 - Queered Landscapes (CRN 10335)
The course includes study of selected works by and about bisexual, gay, lesbian and transgender individuals. Representative works discussed are chosen to illustrate portrayals of individual identity and life as well as political and changes in the GLBTQ community over time – from a period of “invisibility,” through the AIDS crisis, into the present, looking at the struggles unique to each generation.

-
RFLA 200H 05 - Labor, Leisure, and Culture (CRN 10766)
This course will examine several aspects of labor and leisure. Through the works of Josef Pieper, Wendell Berry and others it will raise questions such as the following: What is leisure and what is it for? How is leisure connected to what it means to be a human being? How do modern ideals of ‘busyness’ ‘usefulness’ ‘efficiency’ and others present obstacles to the cultivation of meaningful leisure? Is the vice of sloth connected to boredom and inability to enjoy meaningful leisure more than it is connected to laziness? How is leisure important for stepping back from and critiquing cultural assumptions from within? What does it mean to be connected to a place, and to labor in a way that has regard for preserving that place? Through raising these questions, we will gain insight into modernity and the fundamental changes in the rhythms and shape of human life it has wrought.

-
RFLA 200H 06 - Sci-Fi, Philosophy & Film (CRN 10777)
This course examines the philosophical, metaphysical, theological, scientific, and ethical implications of selected science fiction films. Special focus is given to the Matrix trilogy. Students critically engage in topics such as the nature of reality and knowledge, personal identity, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, existentialism, and how to live ethically in a post-apocalyptic world. The course seeks to develop critical and creative skills necessary for understanding mind-blowing movies and unraveling philosophical mysteries.
|
| |
-
RFLA 200H 07 - Ethics and Global Justice (CRN 10758)
Daily we are confronted with ethical questions about how to act in our personal lives and in the world as responsible and engaged citizens. In this course, you will learn the moral theories and frameworks that justify moral judgments, and how to apply them to pressing social and political issues such as abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty, immigration, human rights, multiculturalism and women’s rights, global poverty, cultural sovereignty, and world hunger relief.
|
| |
-
RFLA 200H 08 - Transcultural Competence (CRN 10990)
Our professional and social surroundings are increasingly transcultural and shaped by cultural and linguistic diversity. In addition, modern workplace demands and professional opportunities take many of us to countries where people speak a different language and have different culture standards. How can we learn to communicate appropriately and effectively with people from diverse cultural backgrounds? In this class, we will explore the links between culture, language and communication, analyze the challenges of intercultural interaction, and learn ways to overcome them. Our theoretical explorations will be supported by case studies of real-life scenarios as well as interactive games and activities. Students will gain a solid foundation for the development of intercultural sensitivity and transcultural competence, so that they can successfully communicate, operate, and co-operate in diverse settings at home and abroad.

|
| |
-
RFLA 200S 02 - Science of Superheroes (CRN 10340)
The superhero genre is all the rage right now. But do superhero comic books and movies get any of the science right? Can gamma rays turn you into the Hulk? How much energy would the Flash need in order to use his super speed? How much force does Superman need to exert to “leap tall buildings in a single bound”? In this course, we will examine the concept of a superhero throughout history. We will analyze comic books as well as study recent superhero films to determine if the powers and abilities of the most well-known superheroes are scientifically possible. In addition, we will learn to apply the scientific principles of energy, thermodynamics, astronomy and more to a wide variety of super-powered characters. The course contains a required lab, where we will perform experiments to estimate the strength of Superman’s skeletal structure or the forces experienced by Spiderman during his webslinging.

|
| |
-
RFLA 200S 05 - The Science of Sustenence (CRN 10770)
Why does an egg turn white when you cook it or an avocado turn brown when you cut it? Why are some chocolate chip cookies soft and others crispy? Where do recipes come from? In this course we will discover the inextricable relationship between science and our everyday experiences as humans sustained by food. The class will focus on an understanding of how individual food components, as well as physical and chemical changes, contribute to the overall quality of a food. We will explore innovations in food science (e.g. molecular gastronomy) and how new foods are created as we conduct edible experiments to illustrate the scientific method and physical, chemical, biochemical, and microbiological principles in cooking. Science is always involved in the foods we eat, and an act of creative cooking is truly the same as conducting a science experiment.

-
RFLA 200S 06 - Fiat Lux: The Science of Light (CRN 10562)
What is light? Is it a wave or a particle? If it’s made of something, why can’t we feel it? How can colors come from white light, and why is the sky blue? In this course, we’ll tackle these enduring questions on the nature of light, how to manipulate it, and how nature creates its own optical illusions. Students will perform their own optics-based research project in this highly interactive, hands-on course. Students should be prepared to blur the line between their perception and reality.
|

-
RFLA 200S 07 - The Science and Culture of Chocolate (CRN 10771)
The Science and Culture of Chocolate examines the harvesting of cacao and the production, health effects, and properties of chocolate. This course also examines the cultural importance of chocolate from the cultures of Mesoamerica to the present day. Chocolate started as a drink and it became a bar fairly recently as a result of technical innovations that eventually made possible the business that chocolate is today. From Bean to Bar, from Maya to Valentine’s Day - if you will.

-
RFLA 200S 08 - Totally Spaced Out (CRN 11016)
Why does the Earth experience seasons? Do stars really twinkle? What are black holes? Where did we come from? Do aliens really exist? This course serves as a survey of concepts in Astronomy that range from the history of Astronomy to the formation and structure of our Solar System to the origins and eventual fate of the Universe. Students will examine in detail the changing night sky, the nature of light and telescopes, planetary formation and star birth and death.

|
| |
-
RFLA 300 02 - America’s Gifts (CRN 10343)
This course explores the uniquely American circumstances that gave rise to the development of jazz, baseball and National Parks. All of these icons of Americana exhibit many of the dynamic (and often conflicting) forces at work in American history. For example, the preservation of land in National Parks ran directly counter to the essentially materialistic and exploitative approach to nature that governed 19th century America. Jazz represents the collision of European and African musical forms, which produced an unprecedented opportunity for exploration and innovation. And (sadly), baseball is at odds with a contemporary American culture that is increasingly violent, impatient and overbearing. Underlying themes of the course include the roles of race, class, gender and capitalism, as well as the relationship between the individual and the group.
|
| |
-
RFLA 300 03 - Learn/Teach About Holocaust (CRN 10742)

We will analyze the diaries of Jewish children who were hidden or forced into ghettos and camps, and hear survivor testimonies, to know more about what those people experienced. A vital part of the course will be a 6-day Field Study trip to Krakow, Poland, which will include a study tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We will end by considering how survivors have made meaning from the Holocaust, relating the past to current social issues, and examining the best ways to teach about the Holocaust. Travel dates: 03/13/20 - 03/19/20.

RFLA 300 05 - Material Culture: Egypt/Jordan (CRN 10743)
While the Middle East is home to some of world’s oldest and most spectacular ancient civilizations, the region has long struggled to keep hold of its historical artifacts. Centuries of intermittent social, political, and economic instability helped give rise to and fuel the practices of confiscation, looting, and illegal selling and exportation of cultural property overseas. As we will see firsthand, it’s not just big-time art thieves who are stealing history; tourists can and do buy objects plundered from Egyptian tombs in local markets and on the street. This Spring 2020 rFLA 300 course and linked field study to Egypt and Jordan builds on this year’s rFLA Common Read Curriculum on travel by asking: Who owns the past and why should we care? What drives our impulse to handle and bring home archeological souvenirs? Who is the ‘best’ steward of the material past? Is it possible for western museums to acquire and display artifacts without fueling the illegal arts trade and perpetuating colonialist narratives?
|
| |
-
RFLA 300 06 - Minorities in the Mid East (CRN 10347)
The course is designed to discuss the very idea of the Middle East and North Africa as a historical and cultural construct, for which there are many different definitions. The class is designed to be an introduction to the region as whole; we will explore its internal diversity and dynamics that lead to different identities. In addition, students will be exposed to a variety of ethnics, minority complexity, ideologies, religious struggle, multiculturalism, different languages, Arabic calligraphy as a reproduction of different schools of thought, and food as a reflection of identity.
|
| |
-
RFLA 300 07 - Practice of Social Justice_CE (CRN 10348)
This course asks students to reflect on how their own identity has been shaped by power and privilege (or the absence thereof) and then asks them to identify and analyze systems of oppression at work in their own community. Finally, it empowers them with tools to create a specific positive social action to address a problem they have identified in their community. The course will also utilize the techniques of Augusto Boal’s “Theater of the Oppressed” to empower students to address one aspect of oppression through community-based advocacy or activism. As part of this class, you will engage in community-based experiences through service-learning projects and individual engagement with local community organizations, using your previous skills and knowledge to address one of the community partner’s needs. In addition to taking your learning outside of the classroom and engaging with local community organizations, you will also reflect on how you would like to put your knowledge to use after graduation. CE course.

RFLA 300 08 - Performance of Modern Ritual (CRN 10349)
Ritual lies at the intersection of the symbolic and the transformative. A wedding ritual, for instance, is both an attempt to symbolize ideals and a speech act that produces a married couple. This performance-based course explores how ritual functions in contemporary Westernized cultures to create, sustain, and transform identities.
|
| |
-

We will explore oppression and systems of oppression in our lives and in our context (racism, homophobia, sexism, etc.) and will use Image and Forum Theater among other tools to investigate and process our experiences. This is a hands-on lab, which means that students will participate in theater games and exercises and may be part of a performance piece.
|
| |
-
RFLA 300 11 - Technology and Society (CRN 10744)

|
| |
-
RFLA 300 12 - Racial Fictions (CRN 10560)
Is race fact or fiction? Like a novel, is “race” designed to draw audiences in and solicit their belief in its version of the truth? Or is it more than a story? Is “race” a reality that meaningfully impacts individuals, communities, and ideologies? Rooted in the study of 20th c. American literature and using multiple disciplinary lenses to enrich our examination, our course will consider these compelling questions-not only how we answer, but also the implications and consequences of asking, and what we do with our developing perspectives.
|
| |
-
RFLA 300 13 - Music & Politics in Americas (CRN 10620)

|
| |
-
RFLA 300 14 - Beyond Cultural Reality (CRN 10745)
In a culturally relative view, there are many ways to experience and understand the world. As we confront global problems that require consensus around values, cultural relativism becomes a significant challenge. Students will draw on their experiences abroad and course readings to examine concepts of cultural relativism, social constructivism, and identity. They will consider how we might move forward past tolerance to action in our increasingly globalized world and begin to articulate their own sense of commitment beyond relativity.
|
| |
-
RFLA 300 15 - Social Choice Mathematics (CRN 10746)
How do different societies choose their leaders? What roles do tradition and ideology play in the structure of government? We will research and compare voting systems and representative legislatures from around the world, applying principles of voting theory and fair division to study the ways diverse groups of people select and empower their leaders.

PHI 395 1 - Topics in Philosophy: Cosmopolitanism/Global Citizenship
Cosmopolitanism literally means global citizen. Cosmopolitanism has a vey long history in philosophy, beginning with Diogenes the Cynic who claimed he was a citizen of the world. At its core, cosmopolitanism is about our moral, ethical, and political obligation to one another, specifically the idea that these obligations should not be limited to only our compatriots. In other words, cosmopolitanism challenges national boundaries as the limit of our ethical obligations to one another. Thus, cosmopolitanism is concerned with the relationship between the local and the global, the particular and the universal, the national and the international. A paradigm case of transnational ethical obligations is our shared responsibility to address environmental problems. If our ethical obligations are not limited by national boundaries this also has implications for immigration. In this course we will explore questions such as: What does it mean to be a citizen of the world? Is it possible or desirable to have a global civil society? To what extent do we have moral and political obligations to those in other countries? Are there objective/transnational moral standards (such as human rights)? What is the basis for our common humanity? What would a cosmopolitan education look like? How do we apply the theory of cosmopolitanism to art? What implications does cosmopolitanism have for immigration? (Offered Spring 2020)
