Profound changes in the last two decades on the global, national, and local scales have brought about a collapse in people?s traditional sources of self-definition, notably, those ethnic, racial, geographic, sexual, and national bases of group belonging and identity. Given such undermining of the old certainties, answers to the question "Who am I?" have become more tenuous, if not totally "up for grabs." Fragmentation of identities, ethnic conflict, social alienation and a loss of a sense of grounding are only some of the noted hallmarks of the present time. This course is designed to address the implications of this shift in signification--from identity to difference--for the dynamics of identity formation and the search for alternative bases for consensus-formation in the new millennium. Using the lens of communication and the notion of "production" in unpacking the complexities of everyday formation in the 21st century, it hints at the larger forces at work on the construction of cultures and identities. Representation--in particular, media representation--is critically examined for its role in the process of culture and identity production.

Communication in Close Relationships emphasizes the relationship between the self and others at a personal level. We examine research from a variety of disciplines, including communication, psychology, sociology, family studies, and history, to increase our understanding of relationships from diverse perspectives. The three main perspectives we investigate show how relationships affect and are affected by their context, the individuals involved, and the relational system. The goals of this course are for students to increase their understanding of relationships from diverse perspectives; evaluate critically the information about relationships that we encounter in our everyday lives; ask and investigate questions about real-life relationships; and communicate insights into communication and relationships in a variety of formats.

The United States, and Americans, occupy a unique, privileged and powerful position in the contemporary world order. Indeed, according to many scholarly and public accounts, the U.S. has achieved unprecedented status as the preeminent world power. Yet, despite, or, paradoxically, perhaps because of its status as what some have called a world "hyperpower," large numbers of Americans are mostly, if not totally unaware of what U.S. global preeminence means to them, and to other people around the world. This course aims to inspire critical reflection on students' part about the role of the United States - its political and economic system and practices, its culture, and most fundamentally, its social actors, meaning its people(s), in a globalizing world. It does so by asking a simple, crucial question: How does the rest of the world view the United States, Americans and, as the international communications and political economy scholar Herbert Schiller has put it, the "U.S./American situation" with respect to globalization.

This course examines the close and complex relationship between esthetic expression and private religiosity, or "spirituality." The word "spirituality" refers to the varieties and patterns of personal religious experience as opposed to the beliefs, institutions structures, and ritual practices of organized religion. The course will examine how theories as well as personal accounts of artistic creativity, experience, and appreciation can both broaden and deepen our understanding of the inner life that is otherwise communicated in religious terms and how artistic expression can also have a quasi-religious or "spiritual" character. Material and resources from the visual, the literary, and the performing arts will be carefully studied. The central objective will be to illumine the way in which the construction of the individual self and the formation of the personal identity are intimately tied to different quests that are artistic and spiritual at once. The course will be exciting and challenging because it will allow students to wrestle with their own esthetic and religious experience while providing a theoretical grammar and vocabulary to articulate it.

In this course, we examine the adaptation of literary works into films. We closely study selected modern literary works and the film interpretations of each work. Focusing on the transition from one narrative form to another, the course enhances the critical skill of students as well as their creative ability with respect to cinematic translations. We, therefore, also have mini scriptwriting workshops as a way of imaginatively highlighting the sort of considerations that go into the making of the film script.

This class addresses the national and international efforts to seek justice and achieve reconciliation. It examines how state and non-state actors reflect on an unfortunate of hostile past with a designated "other": how did their relations and interactions with this targeted "other" go wrong? What were the material, philosophical, and emotional grounds to breed such hostilities? What were the consequences? Has the memory of the "past self" and "past others" shaped the way the two groups interact today? Why do some actors refuse to say "sorry", and why do some victims refuse to forgive? What are the similarities and differences among various reconciliation projects? In this class, we lead students to explore these challenging yet exciting questions.

Today's students have grown up with J. K. Rowling's seven Harry Potter books. This incredible publishing phenomenon has inspired children and adults alike to devour 500 page books within days of publication, at a time when statistics seem to indicate that people are no longer reading. Why would these tales of English school children learning a curriculum of magical skills, have so captured the imagination of a generation of young people living in a post-modern world?

Over the past few decades, the study of western esotericism in many academic disciplines has also grown in prominence and respectability. From the pioneering scholarship of Dame Frances Yates at the Courtauld Institute in London during the 1950s, and with the renewed interest in hermeticism during the New Age movement of the late 1960s, the 1980s and 1990s saw the emergence of more serious and sustained scholarly investigations into the roles of magic, witchcraft, cabala, alchemy, astrology, divination and other occult paths in shaping the art, philosophy, literature, history, and science of western society. From the Middle Ages to the present, it now seems clear that esotericism has played a significant role in shaping western thought, although its importance was often hidden, ignored, or denigrated in the past. Substantial literature now exists, and continues to grow, to prove this point, largely from the fields of history, philosophy, religious studies, literature and art history. To support these new studies, professional associations, such as the Association for the Study of Esotericism (ASE), have begun to bring academic scholars together at conferences, and M.A. degree programs in Western Esotericism have been recently launched at the University of Exeter and the University of Amsterdam.

A third important facet of the material of this class is the growing analysis of the Harry Potter books and other works of fantasy, including J. R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." Academic scholars and popular writers have examined the various traditions from which these authors have gathered inspiration, and have placed these novels within a wider cultural context, not only of their esoteric concerns, but also of their relationship to other mythological, philosophic, and even scientific systems of thought, as some of the founding fathers of the Scientific Revolution, Isaac Newton and Robert Boyle, have been explored recently, and their alchemical experiments studied by historians of science.

The purpose of this class then is to examine the role of esoteric themes that pervade the Harry Potter books and to investigate the history of those subjects from the Middle Age to the present, by focusing on the visual traditions they inspired. Areas discussed include the history of magic and witchcraft, classical and Celtic mythology, alchemy, astrology, fantastic beasts, "books of secrets" and their healing potions, the mythic lore of botany, divination and various esoteric paths of enlightenment.

As Hall (2005) argues in her definitive critique and elaboration of the Civil Rights Movement?s history, the "long Civil Rights Movement," "took root in the liberal and radical milieu of the late 1930s, was intimately tied to the 'rise and fall of the New Deal Order,' accelerated during World War II, stretched far beyond the South, was continuously and ferociously contested, and, in the 1960s and 1970s, inspired a 'movement of movements' that 'def[ies] any narrative of collapse' (p.2)." This course explores the Long Civil Rights Movement--focusing on the ongoing struggles for racial equity in education. While the course is broadly historical in scope, covering debates about public education over the last century, it explores historical and cultural changes in education by focusing on three primary struggles: 1) the African American quest for equal education; 2) the Mexican-American fight for bilingual education; and 3) Native American pursuit of self-determination through education. The conclusion of the class explores how Hall?s investment in privileged narratives of history argues for a multiracial, not biracial understanding of the movement and envisions solidarity across movements. Throughout the course we consider how these historical struggles echo in contemporary debates of race, education, and equity.

For roughly two decades, Germany, a once divided nation in the heart of Europe held responsible for World Wars, has been re-united. Forty years of division between West- and East-Germany - a division exacerbated by their respective geopolitical roles in the Cold War - left their mark on what many intellectuals considered a 'cultural nation' in spite of their political separation. This class examines the pains and gains of twenty years of unity, a process that has repeatedly been described as an attempt to "normalize" Germany's complicated history. We analyze various political, historical, but mostly cultural developments (and debates) that have accomplished and, at times, questioned this unification.

This course examines film and television representations of religions from around the world in an effort to understand the goals of the media makers and the effects of their productions.

This course presents an introductory analysis of how the economic aspects of our society operate. We begin with a brief examination of the development of human economic arrangements and how these developed into the kind of economy we have today. We then look at some of the historical development of how people thought that economic activity works and how they thought it should work. Then we go into an examination of the workings of markets and economic competition - what we call micro-economics - by examining some of the relevant theory as well as its embodiment in developments in the U.S. economy. Following that, we examine in much more detail the theory and some current issues involved in what we call macro-economics - the study of the workings of the national economy as a whole, with its concerns to explain such matters as the national rates of unemployment and price inflation, along with a study of the monetary and financial aspects of the economy and the promises and problems of gender from many different directions.

Today, it is difficult to imagine a life free of the media. There are more than 4 billion mobile phones in the world, and a billion people are now able to access the Internet. Television is available to close to 100% of people living in the media-saturated societies of North America, western and Eastern Europe, and East Asia, with radio widely available almost everywhere else. Moreover, with youtube, blogs, online gaming, citizen journalism, experimental film, and peer-to-peer file sharing, people are actively creating and sharing their own news and entertainment experiences like never before.

Communication technologies are changing the way money circulates, how and where business is conducted, the ways in which labor is deployed, and how people communicate between home and work, national and diasporic contexts. The media are facilitating both globalization and cultural hybridity, at times securing social cohesion and at other moments facilitating social movements for change.

Where do these technologies come from? Who controls them? Who profits from them? How are they used, and with what potential implications? What does the future hold? These are some of the questions we'll address.

We often think about social problems in our social worlds. However, rarely do we consider how certain situations come to be defined as problems and why some "problems" remain a focal point of public attention while others fade, even when the circumstances around that issue have not improved. In this course, we look at these very issues. Using current social problems, we explore how a social phenomenon comes to be seen as a social problem, what is at stake in this process, and how these dynamics matter in terms of thinking about inequality.
