Foundations of Marketing
A study of markets, institutions, and the environment in which business firms operate with attention to the effect these facets, forces, and issues have on the firm's overall marketing strategy.
Why Business?
What is the role of business in a just and humane society? Many of you are about to dedicate your lives to business, and the rest of you will work, in one way or another, with business. Yet many people believe that business is a morally suspicious activity, a suspicion evident in the common belief that business people need to "give back" to society. Is business an activity for which one must atone? Are people right to be suspicious of business? This course is designed to engage ideas from the Catholic tradition with perspectives drawn from moral philosophy, business, and economics. We will engage issues of faith and normativity both critically and constructively. Students will consider competing positions on faith and normative questions, will reflect on (or discover elements of) their own faith or non-faith, and will describe the extent to which they believe various claims are supported by faith or reason. This course responds to Pope John Paul II's Centesimus Annus (1991) and Pope Francis's Laudato Si (2015), which called on Catholic education to "safeguard the moral conditions for an authentic 'human ecology'" (Centesimus Annus, 38).

History of AI
How can we discuss the present and future of Artificial Intelligence if we don't understand its past and how we arrived at our current situation? As the pervasiveness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our lives and society reaches new levels, new and old questions arise, demonstrating the urgency in equipping present and future generations with tools to understand the evolution of AI better. For over 70 years, AI has provided us with an enthusiastic sequence of events beyond the continuous cycles of hype and disillusion. Understanding how these events unfolded is crucial to understanding and debating AI today and foreseeing its future applications and challenges. The "History of Artificial Intelligence" course has three main learning goals: 1) identify critical events that influenced the rise of AI and align them with the history of related scientific disciplines; 2) describe the various phases of AI's evolution and context and discuss their influence in present discussions; and, 3) reflect on AI's ethical/societal implications and critique current/possible applications.

Storytelling and Communication
This course is designed to develop communication skills for data scientists working in industry and business contexts. Students master the art of clear, effective, and engaging scientific and technical communications, with attention to the business necessity of translating complex technical subjects into actionable insights for a lay audience. Students identify and analyze rhetorical situations in technical discourse communities, assist them in defining their purpose in writing/presenting information, and teach them to design materials and deliver presentations that are properly targeted and appropriately styled.
Ethics and Policy in DS
Data-informed decision-making has created new opportunities, e.g. personalized marketing and recommendations, but also expands the set of possible risks, e.g. privacy, security, etc.; this is especially true for businesses collecting, storing, and analyzing human data. Organizations need to consider the "should we?" question with regard to data and analytics, and not just be concerned with "can we?". In this course, we will explore ethical frameworks, guidelines, codes, and checklists, and also consider how they apply to all phases of the data science process. Existing research ethics standards provide a necessary but insufficient foundation when doing data science and analytics. Together, we will wrestle with the rapidly-changing capabilities, conflicts, and desires that emerge from new data practices. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to identify and balance: what an organization wants to do from a business perspective, can do from technical and legal perspectives, and should do from an ethical perspective.

Free Speech
This introductory course surveys the core texts, doctrines, ideas, and cultural controversies related to First Amendment protections for free expression. We will be especially interested in some large questions: what is expression? How have our ideas of freedom of expression evolved as we enter the digital age? What kind of expression should be permissible? What happens when the public forum is fully online? What is the relationship between free expression and democratic-self government? Is there a difference between individual, group, and government speech? How do we navigate alternative ways of thinking about free expression in a global media ecosystem? We will consider a selection of exemplary cases, controversies, and literary texts: among our topics will include the following: the transformation of speech in the age of digital media; libel, satire and parody; piracy, intellectual property and copyright; privacy and surveillance; hate speech and incitement; obscenity and pornography. We will investigate the topic by studying relevant case law, literary texts (including fiction, film and new media), political philosophy, and information policy? Disclaimer: you will encounter speech that is potentially offensive and discomforting in this course. Note: this course is delivered fully online.

Drunk on Film
Long Title: Drunk on Film: The Psychology of Storytelling with Alcohol and Its Effects on Alcohol Consumption. Alcohol Use Disorder is a chronic relapsing brain disease. But when presented on screen, it's entertainment. Why do we laugh, why do we cry, why do we emulate fictional characters whose drinking habits result in a life of debilitating addiction? From James Bond to Jonah Hill, the psychology and seduction of alcohol on film, television, and online will be analyzed. Furthermore, what is the relationship between the manner in which alcohol use/abuse is presented on screen and the manner in which alcohol is used and abused on, for example, college campuses? Surveying recent film history, we will examine how alcohol is used in story structure, as a character flaw or strength, and as a narrative device in the story arc of films across multiple film genres, (action/adventure, comedy, romance, etc). Why do characters drink, where do they drink, and how does the result of their "getting drunk" advance the narrative? We'll also look at non-fiction films that tackle issues of addiction, as a way of comparing character development in Hollywood films to the results of this same behavior in everyday life. Film materials will include weekly screenings outside of class, and academic articles relating to portrayal and analysis of alcohol use in film and television, including the business of marketing alcohol in print and television advertising. From the psychological perspective we will discuss the topic and process of social influence and how the presence of others influences our behavior. Questions of interest will include the following: what are the mechanisms by which group influence unfolds? How and why might we be persuaded? Does the manner, and if so how, in which alcohol use is portrayed in movies and the media reflect the processes and principles of social influence? Readings will include chapters on social influence, persuasion and academic articles evaluating the manner in which alcohol is portrayed and advertised and the effect this has on alcohol consumption. In addition, issues of addiction will be discussed - from understanding the basis of addiction to examining the efficacy of addiction treatment.

Inclusive Teaching
It is critical for instructors to use evidence-based principles and strategies to intentionally design and cultivate inclusive learning environments in order to support a diverse range of students. In this introduction to inclusive pedagogy and equity-oriented curricula, we will begin by critically reflecting on how our perspectives and experiences with diversity inform our approach to teaching and learning. Additionally, we will discuss practical strategies for fostering community within the classroom, equitable grading and assessment, diversifying course content, and more. We will do this by reading current research in higher education that spans social sciences, humanities, and STEM disciplines. By the end of the course my hope and expectation is that you will be able to: articulate your own goals for inclusive teaching and learning, identify concrete ways to apply inclusive teaching principles and strategies and create documents that can be used in future classrooms and on the job market for teaching-related positions.

Students will be assigned reading from Wendy Laura Belcher's book Writing Your Journal Article in Twelve Weeks and meet weekly to discuss the reading, check in with peers on progress and productivity, and participate in drafting and peer-editing exercises designed to model good article-preparation practices alongside Belcher's recommendations.
The Middle Ages on Film
This course will explore modern popular imaginings of the Middle Ages through film. We will view several feature-length films and numerous clips, interspersed with readings from and about the Middle Ages. Together we will discuss and analyze both the texts and films. The films will range from early silent films to Monty Python spoofs to recent blockbusters. I have divided the course into six segments: (1) the Crusades; (2) Eleanor of Aquitaine: wife and mother of kings; (3) Robin Hood; (4) King Arthur; (5) the Black Death; and (6) Joan of Arc Students will write short daily assignments, two short essays, and a final paper or take-home exam. There are two required textbooks and a course packet. The textbooks are Robert Brent Toplin, Reel History: In Defense of Hollywood (2002); and Daniel Hobbins (trans.), The Trial of Joan of Arc.
Lincoln, Slavery, Civil War
This course asks how we should narrate and understand the great ordeal of Civil War and emancipation. Reading both primary and secondary sources, it considers the Civil War era and life of Abraham Lincoln in light of the rise of abolition and antislavery politics; attitudes toward race, slavery, and labor; the political and social meanings of war and emancipation; the political and social challenge of reconstructing the nation amidst the tangled legacies of racial slavery and a destructive war.
The Vietnam War&Amer Catholics
How did the most divisive war in American History shape the nation's biggest church community? This course explores Catholics as both supporters and detractors of the Vietnam War. American Catholics wished to see America defeat Communism but, importantly, the power of faith motivated many to criticize the state's escalation of the conflict. Students will explore the tensions and transformations of this important moment in American life. Lectures and classroom discussions will address decolonization, the global and national nature of American Catholicism, the power of the liberal state, conscientious objection, the "Spirit of the Sixties," sacramental protests, the rise of human rights, geopolitics, and the Cold War. Course readings will include the latest scholarship, but also primary sources like poems, films, songs, letters, prayers, newspaper articles, and art. Students will have access to the rich materials of Catholic peace activists found in the University of Notre Dame Archives

How to (Not) Lie with Stats
Are stay-at-home orders effective during a pandemic? Should parents allow kids to have screen time? What role did demographic shifts play in the 2020 elections? Does the infield shift work? Modern society constantly faces questions that require data, statistics, and other empirical evidence to answer well. But the proliferation of niche media outlets, the rise of fake news, and the increase in academic research retraction makes navigating potential answers to these questions difficult. This course is designed to give students tools to confront this challenge by developing their statistical and information literacy skills. It will demonstrate how data and statistical analyses are susceptible to a wide variety of known and implicit biases, which may ultimately lead consumers of information to make problematic choices. The course will consider this issue from the perspectives of consumers of research as well as researchers themselves. We will discuss effective strategies for reading and interpreting quantitative research while considering the incentives researchers face in producing it. Ultimately, students will complete the class better equipped to evaluate empirical claims made by news outlets, social media, instructors, and their peers. The goal is to encourage students to approach data-driven answers to important questions with appropriate tools rather than blind acceptance or excessive skepticism.
The Middle Ages on Film
This course will explore modern popular imaginings of the Middle Ages through film. We will view several feature-length films and numerous clips, interspersed with readings from and about the Middle Ages. Together we will discuss and analyze both the texts and films.

Topics covered include: generally accepted auditing standards, materiality and audit risk thresholds, issuance of the audit report, the audit process and documentation, internal control in a financial statement audit, analytical procedures, and auditor's legal liability, including the auditor's responsibility for fraud.
SSO - Accounting
From Wall Street to Main Street, accounting shapes and informs all aspects of life. This accounting course introduces students to fundamental accounting concepts and processes in addition to the important roles that CPAs (certified public accountants) play with every type of organization, from the local flower shop to the multi-national pharmaceutical company. The framework for this innovative course consists of an overview of accounting concepts and techniques, financial statements, and case studies based on current events, such as proposed changes to U.S. tax law and European Union fines on Apple Computer. The course enables students to see how CPAs protect investors, influence public policy, analyze businesses, and advise companies, ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500 companies. Students will engage in interactive exercises that address fundamental accounting techniques, financial statement interpretation, tax planning, and current tax policy issues. Through a mix of class discussions and recorded or digital presentations by accounting professionals, business leaders, or entrepreneurs, the course will also demonstrate the infinite opportunities that accounting majors have in public accounting, for-profit businesses, non-profit organizations, and academia. During the first week, students learn about the accounting profession and explore the basics of financial and tax accounting through exercises, presentations, and cases. During week two, students continue their exposure to accountancy concepts and applications and examine the role of CPAs in non-profit organizations. In addition, students will hear from additional guests who discuss trade-offs in tax policy. The week concludes with electronic small group presentations regarding tax policy issues.
SSO - Film Production
Film and video production can take many forms, from television news production to commercial production to documentary and feature filmmaking. At Notre Dame, the Film, Television, and Theatre department teaches production as an art form. Not only do we prepare undergraduates to enter the industry with a solid technical background, but most importantly, we challenge students to be creative and to infuse their work with a personal vision that is characteristic of all artists. The production process is communal. No one person can produce a film. It's a group effort, and the Film Production Track of Summer Scholars allows students to work closely with their peers as crew members and creative collaborators, learning from each other and making friendships which last well beyond their two weeks on campus. Working together remotely, students will study film history, learn the craft and aesthetics of writing, shooting, and editing films, meet Notre Dame alumni working in the film industry, and work creatively in groups, to produce and direct their own short films which we'll screen at the end of the two week session in our very own online Summer Scholars Film Festival.
SSO - Intro to Philosophy
What does it mean to be human? What is beauty? Why do we care so much about such seemingly "useless" things as the beauties of art, landscape, or poetry? And what could be less useful than staring in awestruck muteness at a thundering waterfall? No matter how often people have tried to discuss and pin down what the beautiful or the sublime is over the centuries, each generation has to either ignore or ponder these questions anew. Those with curious minds, always searching for answers to big questions, can explore the immemorial issues of life's meaning together in our introductory philosophy course! We will pursue two important philosophical concepts, the beautiful and the sublime. We will begin with Plato and the Greeks and then examine how these concepts appear in Medieval mysticism, Kant and post-Kantian German philosophy, and Chinese aesthetics. We will also use these concepts to try to articulate what makes particular works of art - paintings, sculptures, films, dances, etc. - beautiful or sublime and see whether, in the end, we have learned anything about what it means to be human. Class sessions will involve a combination of lecture and discussion with collaborative work, film viewing, and students staking out philosophical viewpoints to analyze works of art. By analyzing big picture questions, students will hone their skills in advanced problem solving, essential skills as they seek to address the major issues entwined with existence. Students will learn how to think critically in the abstract and how we as a society think about the world and our place within it.
SSO - Life Sciences
Students in the Cancer Biology track will actively engage in the study of cancer by first reviewing the scientific literature on hallmarks of cancer, then characterizing specific human tumor cell lines to propose treatment modalities and future research. Students will have the opportunity to learn about cutting edge cancer research being conducted in several Notre Dame research laboratories, interacting with ND cancer researchers via virtual laboratory tours and live Q&A sessions. Student research teams will have the opportunity to present on cancer hallmarks and give their findings regarding characterization of their assigned cancer cell line. Although the course will focus on the fascinating topic of cancer biology, our course will foster collaborative problem-solving and experiential understanding of science by actively involving student research teams in the design and analysis of actual data, discussion of findings in the primary literature and development of scientific presentation skills.
SSO - Literature: Hope&Faith
Literature has the power to shape our inner lives as well as our capacity to be and act in the world. C.S. Lewis has said the arts, and hence by extension, the written word, allow us through our compassion and empathy to reach beyond ourselves to heal the loneliness and dangers of self-absorption: "In love, in virtue, in the pursuit of knowledge, and in the reception of the arts, we are doing this." This literature course takes two tracks. In the morning session, we consider the human and moral dimensions of literature through an examination of various "digital dystopias," texts that explore the effects and the power of digital media and technology on our lives. We will supplement our reading of popular, young adult literature by watching a documentary about adolescents and digital media as well as a TV show (like Netflix's Black Mirror) or a movie (like Tron: Legacy or The Hunger Games). The afternoon session will offer an examination of contemporary authors (i.e. Wendell Berry, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Chris Hayes and others) to explore the dynamic relationship between literature and life, and particularly the role literature plays in allowing us to imagine community and to seek justice, particularly for the disenfranchised and uprooted among us. Taken together, the course as a whole, argues for individuals to work for the common good rather than to focus on individual wants and needs. In several class sessions, we take these discussions "into the field" (and back) by visiting several community organizations that serve the lonely and disenfranchised. In this way, we hope to broaden students' understanding of the potential literature has to not only broaden one's view of the world but call one to action.
SSO - Making Headlines
With the proliferation of digital media, the ways journalists reach their audiences are changing, but the profession's fundamental principles remain steadfast. The Journalism track will offer an introduction to ethical principles and the opportunity to put them into practice. Students will learn by doing - reporting, interviewing, writing, editing and broadcasting on assignments that reflect the variety of stories that journalists produce every day. That experience will be supplemented with insights from working professionals and the study of award-winning work. Notre Dame's Gallivan Program in Journalism, Ethics, and Democracy provides students with a foundation in the field's enduring values, while offering first-hand multimedia experience to develop the skills necessary to thrive in an evolving industry. Initiative, efficiency and creativity will be cultivated through independent fieldwork. Collaborative discussions about student work will generate feedback that nurtures the news judgment and storytelling skill that form the basis of good journalism across all media platforms.
SSO - Public Speaking
This track emphasizes public speaking activities to help you develop communication skills that will enhance your academic and personal lives. We work within the format of policy arguments, a mode where speakers present detailed arguments about significant, contemporary issues and topics. Such arguments require strong research, critical thinking, and writing and speaking skills, skills you will use after this course in a myriad of areas including not only your college coursework but life in general. Class lessons and activities offer opportunities to hone your public speaking skills through short, informative and persuasive speeches. We will also watch clips from film and television programs that illustrate points raised in class. Also, to help you develop arguments for your speeches, we will work with Notre Dame?s library holdings. Finally, on the last day of class you will argue in favor of a resolution you have crafted. Whether you are an experienced speaker or have never delivered a speech before, all you need is the desire to develop as a critical thinker and effective persuader.
SSO - Restorative Justice
The United States incarcerates more of its citizens than any other country in the world. Though long recognized for excessively incarcerating poor people, recent decades have exposed savage disproportionalities in the rates by which the U.S. imprisons its Black and Brown citizens. Scholars now describe the U.S. prison-industrial complex as a caste system that discriminates by race and ethnicity, what legal scholar, Michelle Alexander, has famously termed the new Jim Crow. This seminar examines the potential of restorative justice ethics, practices, and community-led initiatives to challenge, and potentially transform, the structurally racist features that form the retributive culture of the U.S. justice system, and its devastating impact upon minority and marginalized neighborhoods. Restorative justice is both an ethical framework and a range of community-based and victim-centered justice, healing, and peacebuilding practices. Implemented widely in international contexts, there it often informs truth and reconciliation efforts in the wake of violent conflict (e.g. truth commissions in South Africa, Chile, Argentina, Uganda, among others). In North American contexts, restorative justice is typically practiced as measures that "divert" alleged offenders from a standard course through the justice system by funneling them into alternative justice practices and programs. On this understanding, restorative justice paths may be both less harshly punitive, and aim to repair harm caused to victims, communities - and even offenders - by destructive conflict, violence, and crime. However, when deployed for primarily diversionary purposes, restorative justice initiatives fail to address the ways that the U.S. justice system, itself, manifests structural and cultural forms of violence (e.g. the criminalization of people of color, socio-economic inequalities, and the shame, stigma, and fragmentation that deteriorate community bonds and relationships). Can restorative justice ethics and practices respond effectively - and transformatively - to the new Jim Crow? We will explore answers to this question through several steps: 1) understanding the history and character of the "new Jim Crow," 2) by investigating restorative justice ethics, and how they form a distinctive theory of justice, 3) examining cases and contexts in which restorative justice practices are implemented, and 4) assessing the impact of those initiatives on structural and cultural forms of violence inscribed there.
SSO - The Law
From Capitol Hill to the county courthouse, the workings of law in American society have shaped, and continue to shape, our way of life. The Law course exposes Summer Scholars students to the many facets of the American legal system. The groundwork for this exciting track will be laid in the exploration of the United States Constitution as well as current legal issues. Students participate in an active investigation of the court system, from both a civil and criminal law perspective. Through a combination of class lectures delivered by dynamic instructors and expert guest lecturers, the class also investigates various areas of substantive law, including tort law and intellectual property law. During the first week, students are introduced to the American legal system, the weight of legal authority, the various areas of the law, and what lawyers actually do. Students explore human rights law, trafficking, and immigration and forms of discrimination. Students research and present on a constitutional issue. Guest speakers include an immigration lawyer and a human rights lawyer. During the second week, students delve into the Constitution and the Supreme Court as well as the appellate process.
SSO - Immigrant America
Nearly one in four people is an immigrant or child of immigrants in the United States. This course offers a critical examination of what it means to be an immigrant or child of immigrants through interdisciplinary sources including memoirs, blogs, art, and popular journalism. Since the liberalization of immigration policy in 1965, immigrants from Latin America and Asia are becoming an increasing and emergent demographic of American society. In major American cities such as Los Angeles and New York, they comprise over 50% of the population. This course focuses on how immigrants and the children of immigrants experience the United States. How are immigrants changing the US racial and ethnic structure? How do their experiences differ given varying legal statuses? How is the second generation becoming American? We will explore these questions through family, media representation, religion, education, dating, and sexuality. Students will participate in a virtual service-learning opportunity related to migration and social justice, and learn skills in quantitative and qualitative methodologies.
Introduction to Philosophy
A general introduction to philosophy, which may cover introductory topics in either topically or historically, with a focus on introducing students to some of the perennial problems and texts of philosophy. Specific course content varies by semester and by instructor. See https://philosophy.nd.edu/courses/1st-courses-in-philosophy/ for further details of specific sections offered this semester.
Philosophy as a Way of Life
How does philosophical reasoning interact with lived practice? What is the relationship between a philosopher's metaphysical views and their ethical commitments? Can philosophy help you live a better life? In this course, we will look at a range of ancient and contemporary positions on questions like these. We will seek to understand a number of historical approaches to the philosophical life not only through in-depth reading and discussion of texts from the philosophical traditions in question, but also by trying out each tradition's distinctive practices for ourselves. The specific topics and philosophical traditions covered are subject to change. For the most up-to-date information, see the course description at https://philosophy.nd.edu/courses/2nd-courses-in-philosophy/
Ethics & AI
Not so long ago, an engineer at Google claimed that a chatbot called LaMDA has achieved consciousness. While it may be doubtful whether this chatbot actually achieved consciousness, the chorus of technologists who believe artificial intelligence models may not be far off from achieving consciousness is getting bolder. The most recent iteration of a chatbot called ChatGPT was able to pass exams from law and business schools. It took ChatGPT no less than 2 months to reach 100 million users. (For comparison, reaching 100 million users took the mobile phone 16 years, Facebook 4 years, and TikTok a year.) Truly, we are witnessing a revolution in time lapse that increasingly confuses the boundary between reality and science fiction. In this class, we shall embark on an adventure exploring the maybe not so fictional idea of an emerging consciousness in artificial intelligence and investigate the opportunity and risk potential of using AI for our society at large. Come to class and have a conversation with the future!
Robot Ethics
Robots or "autonomous systems" play an ever-increasing role in many areas, from weapons systems and driverless cars to health care and consumer services. As a result, it is ever more important to ask whether it makes any sense to speak of such systems' behaving ethically and how we can build into their programming what some call "ethics modules." After a brief technical introduction to the field, this course will approach these questions through contemporary philosophical literature on robot ethics and through popular media, including science fiction text and video.
Tech and Innovation Ethics
This course will closely consider the ethical responsibilities inherent in the process of technological innovation from the perspective of the innovator. Innovation is here broadly framed as ethical and social intervention in the life of users and society rather than merely technical invention. Topics covered include the nature of responsibility, values in design, the roles of regulation and of business models, and cases from social media, AI, and robotics.
Elementary Cosmology
An elective course for students planning to major in the arts and letters or business. It is designed to acquaint the non-mathematically inclined student with the most important discoveries in physics of the last few decades and how they have altered our perceptions of the origin and structure of the universe. This course examines such questions as: "Where did the universe come from?" "Why do scientists feel sure that it was born in a cosmic fireball called the Big Bang?" and "Where did the Big Bang itself come from?" This is a reading-intensive course based on popularizations of science written for the curious and intelligent layperson. The emphasis will be on class discussion of the readings. One book report and a term paper are required in addition to examinations.
A I Before&After Frankenstein
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) is understood as one of the founding texts of modern political science fiction. It is also a source for modern ideas of artificial intelligence (AI). In this course, we will explore both the intellectual sources (Hobbes, Milton, Locke, Defoe, Rousseau, Wollstonecraft) and legacies (Lovelace, Turing) of Shelley's innovative and influential literary conception of AI in the form of Frankenstein's Creature. We will also study some of the major filmic adaptations of Frankenstein on the question of the ethics and politics of making artificial forms of life and intelligence.

Statistics Behavioral Science
An introduction to the analysis and evaluation of experimental data, with particular emphasis on measures of central tendency, variability, and covariability and their relationship to psychological theory and explanation.
Drunk on Film
Long Title: Drunk on Film: The Psychology of Storytelling with Alcohol and Its Effects on Alcohol Consumption. Alcohol Use Disorder is a chronic relapsing brain disease. But when presented on screen, it's entertainment. Why do we laugh, why do we cry, why do we emulate fictional characters whose drinking habits result in a life of debilitating addiction? From James Bond to Jonah Hill, the psychology and seduction of alcohol on film, television, and online will be analyzed. Furthermore, what is the relationship between the manner in which alcohol use/abuse is presented on screen and the manner in which alcohol is used and abused on, for example, college campuses? Surveying recent film history, we will examine how alcohol is used in story structure, as a character flaw or strength, and as a narrative device in the story arc of films across multiple film genres, (action/adventure, comedy, romance, etc). Why do characters drink, where do they drink, and how does the result of their "getting drunk" advance the narrative? We'll also look at non-fiction films that tackle issues of addiction, as a way of comparing character development in Hollywood films to the results of this same behavior in everyday life. Film materials will include weekly screenings outside of class, and academic articles relating to portrayal and analysis of alcohol use in film and television, including the business of marketing alcohol in print and television advertising. From the psychological perspective we will discuss the topic and process of social influence and how the presence of others influences our behavior. Questions of interest will include the following: what are the mechanisms by which group influence unfolds? How and why might we be persuaded? Does the manner, and if so how, in which alcohol use is portrayed in movies and the media reflect the processes and principles of social influence? Readings will include chapters on social influence, persuasion and academic articles evaluating the manner in which alcohol is portrayed and advertised and the effect this has on alcohol consumption. In addition, issues of addiction will be discussed - from understanding the basis of addiction to examining the efficacy of addiction treatment.
Body Image
In this seminar, we will explore the biological, psychosocial (including peers and family), and cultural factors influencing body image. We will explore impacts of "fitspo" and body esteem messages, and examine alternative means of reducing risk of body dissatisfaction (e.g., self and identity; self-compassion; gratitude). Potential connections between body image and disordered eating will be examined, including analysis of "classical" and contemporary theoretical models. Both basic and applied (i.e., intervention) research will be incorporated, and a lifespan approach will be utilized, examining body image during childhood, adolescence and midlife.

Quran, Bible, Christn Theo
The goal of this course is to introduce students to the ways in which Christian theologians have interpreted the scripture of Islam, the Quran, through the centuries, and to explore with them possible Christian theological responses to that scripture. To that end the course will involve a clear presentation of the Quran and Quranic Studies, the relationship of the Qur'an to the Bible, and the tradition of Christian theological reflection on non-Christian religions. This course fulfills the second ("development") requirement. No background in the Qur'an, Arabic, or Islam, is required or expected of students.
Apologetics of Love
This course is intended to serve as a resource for catechists and religious educators. It provides a basic theological introduction to the material represented in Pillars I and II of the Catechism of the Catholic Church : the Creed and the Sacraments. The course is specifically designed to cover this material in a way that will provide facility in teaching it in a variety of contexts. Readings will come not only from the Catechism , but from various primary sources, both traditional and contemporary illustrative of the theology that forms its background. With regard to the student's facility in learning to teach the materials, the course focuses on an Apologetics of Love, based largely on the work of Joseph Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI. The course will be especially useful for anyone wishing to acquire an understanding of the basic doctrines of the Catholic faith and of the theological integration of these doctrines.
The Lay Apostolate
The lay faithful are indispensable for the life and mission of the Church. This course explores the theology and practical expressions of the lay apostolate, examining Scripture, sacramental rites of initiation and vocation, prayer and devotion, and ecclesial documents. Special attention will be paid to the burgeoning lay movements of the 20th century, including the active participation of the faithful in the modern world, and the significance of the family and the domestic church.
Genesis of Gender
This course is designed as a seminar in which students will read "The Genesis of Gender" closely and consider its philosophical and theological implications for pastoral praxis today. It is the first in a series of three 1-credit courses on topics surrounding gender and the Church.
