All Roads Lead to Rome
Is it possible to understand the immense phenomenon of Rome in a semester of site visits, historical studies, literary readings, film viewings and lectures? Of course not. Nevertheless, students in this course will start to understand Rome by experiencing the complexity of its urban network; by studying the ruins of antiquity and the splendors of Renaissance, Baroque and 18th Century Rome; by tracing the epic adventure that reunited Italy and led to the establishment of Rome as its capital after twenty centuries (so that today, Rome is at the heart of two states: the Italian Republic and of Vatican); by revisiting the tragedies of modern times, including fascism and the civil war; and by learning about the Rome of postwar and contemporary Italy.
Phnx Inst:Tocqueville'sJourney
Alexis de Tocqueville?s Democracy in America (2 volumes, 1835, 1840) has been described as the greatest book ever written on democracy and the greatest book ever written on America. In it, Tocqueville perceives nearly all of the important issues related to modern liberal democracies and contextualizes them in his interpretation of the American experience. The book was written to convince Europeans that democracy was inevitable and to prepare them for it, so that the transition might be peaceful, moderate and just. Among the issues treated are the rule of law, the relationship between church and state, the activities of civil associations and local government, and the importance of culture and institutions in political life. This course will take Tocqueville?s book as its text in order to develop Tocquevillian themes related to politics and society today.
Phnx Inst:Medieval Cosmology
What do ancient myth-making and medieval cosmology have to do with modern science fiction and stories of space travel and alien civilizations? Well, quite a lot, if you are to appreciate the Space Trilogy of C. S. Lewis. Though not as well known or widely read as his popular Chronicles of Narnia, or the fantasy fiction of his friend J. R. R. Tolkien?s Lord of the Rings, Lewis?s Space Trilogy ranks as one of the most probing accomplishments of twentieth-century speculative and mythopoeic fiction with antecedents in the world-making imaginations of Dante and Milton. These three novels (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength) also offer an intriguing survey of the range and variety of Lewis?s intellectual vitality as a writer, story teller, literary critic, moral philosopher, and Christian apologist. In this class, we will explore Lewis?s Space Trilogy in relation to his study of the integrated worldview of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, as outlined in The Discarded Image: An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature, as well as in the context of his pioneering work of moral and educational philosophy, The Abolition of Man. Then we will voyage to Mars in the narrative of Out of the Silent Planet, before another space flight to Venus in Perelandra. Finally, we come back to Earth in That Hideous Strength for Lewis?s dystopian tale of a world beset by scientific materialism and resurgent gnosticism and a novel that offers a searching critique of social engineering and the quest for human perfectibility. Along the way, we will discuss a number of philosophical problems and theological mysteries, including the relationships between language and reality, metaphysics and ethics, fall and redemption, nature and grace, incarnation and atonement, flesh and spirit, sin and charity, morality and politics, science and imagination, among others. The Space Trilogy will take us from the ?outer space? of modern science fiction to the ?Deep Heaven? of classical and medieval cosmology and then to ?this pendent world,? the Earth, as the scene for a drama of academic intrigue and eschatological warfare.

Global Cultural Worlds
This class is designed to introduce anthropology as a lens to analyze the human condition and the diversity of human expression. We will also identify key topical themes and interests in cultural anthropology including an overview of its history and methods. Anthropology illuminates the myriad of cultural patterns and social systems throughout the world. Expressed through ethnography, anthropology reveals a vast variety of global cultural phenomena that reveal complex social patterns and the stunning vibrancy of ways we can live and view life. The course explores human action through multiple holistic lenses including culture concepts, kinship patterns, economic strategies, political practices, religious rituals, artistic performances, gender roles, ethnic identities, communicative languages, medical systems, patterns of violence, and the legacies of globalization.
Global Cultural Worlds
This course introduces students to the field of social-cultural anthropology. Cultural anthropologists are primarily interested in exploring issues of human cultural diversity across cultures and through time. This course will explore key theoretical, topical, and ethical issues of interest to cultural anthropologists. We will examine diverse ways in which people around the globe have constructed social organizations (such as kinship, and political and economic systems) and cultural identities (such as gender, ethnicity, nationality, race, and class) and we will consider the impact of increasing globalization on such processes. Throughout the course we will consider how different anthropologists go about their work as they engage in research and as they represent others through the writing of ethnographies.
Fundamentals of Bio Anth
This course approaches human evolution from a theoretical point of view that combines both biological and cultural processes into a cohesive bio-cultural model. It begins by tracing the development of modern evolutionary theory and the place of evolutionary studies in anthropology, especially in the sub-field of bioanthropology. These concepts provide the framework for understanding the many lines of evidence that anthropologists use to explore and explain human evolution. These include studies of our primate relatives, through the intricacies of the fossil record, to archaeological evidence for the invention of material culture from the simplest stone tools to the complex cultural world that we live in today. Modern human variation can only be explained as the result of evolutionary forces acting on the complex interplay of biology and culture over millions of years. We continue to be affected by these forces, and this course not only provides information about where we came from, it also provides the scientific backgrounds to help us understand where we might be going as our species continues to evolve.

Art, Covid-19 & BLM
2020 has been an exceptional year. In March 2020 the UK was placed in lockdown to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic, the population was asked to stay at home, and museums and galleries had to close their doors. On 25 May the killing of George Floyd brought renewed attention to the Black Lives Matter movement. In the UK, protestors in Bristol toppled a nineteenth-century statue of seventeenth-century slave trader, Edward Colston, prompting calls for a wider review of the figures represented in public statues across the UK. Around the globe, fundamental questions about how we live, our social and economic structures, and how our past and present are visualised and commemorated, have been thrown into sharp focus. In this course students will explore how UK-based artists and art institutions have been navigating this extraordinary time. Art can open our eyes to the experiences of others, enabling us to see what they have seen or what they have conjured in their imagination; such fundamental human communication is vital at times of crisis. We will consider the economic impact of Covid-19 on the UK arts scene and the UK government measures introduced to mitigate those effects. We will investigate how artists and institutions have found new ways of engaging audiences during lockdown, amid an upsurge in demand for online content. We will explore how auction houses and commercial galleries have adapted their business model during the pandemic. We will also examine how museums are rethinking the interpretation of their collections to present more inclusive and diverse stories. The events of 2020 have emphasised our global interconnectedness: can art foster a new interconnected global perspective?

Augustine: Life & Sermons
Augustine of Hippo (354-430 CE) is generally recognized to be the greatest of the Latin Church Fathers and one of the foremost thinkers of the Western Church. Have you ever wanted to encounter his ideas in the Latin original, but have shied away from the complexity and sheer volume of his major works? Then this course is for you! We will approach Augustine's teachings the same way his congregation did: through reading his sermons in Latin and listening as he explains his thoughts on grace, the sacraments and priesthood, the Bible, and the history of salvation in the clear and accessible words of a preacher. The readings are suitable for students who have taken an Intermediate Latin course or anyone at an intermediate or advanced level, both first-time learners and students who want to refresh their Latin or take their first steps in Christian Latin. The course provides an introduction to Augustine's major ideas, as well as his life and the events of his bishopric, including his fight against pagan beliefs and those Christian groups he considered heretical. We will encounter Augustine as a thinker, a reader of the Bible, a shepherd of souls, and a mystic. In addition to the texts themselves, we will consider the historical, liturgical, and philosophical background and discuss the material context in which his sermons were delivered: the buildings and their furniture, the listeners and the cities they inhabited, the preacher, his rhetoric, and his body language.

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. <p> Note: this course is delivered fully online. The course design combines required live weekly meetings online with self-scheduled lectures, problems, assignments, and interactive learning materials. To participate, students will need to have a computer with webcam, reliable internet connection, and a quiet place to participate in live sessions.
Deciphering the City
This course studies the Urban Detective Story as a genre uniquely attuned to the crime, policing, challenges, temptations and also pleasures and epiphanies of the modern metropolis. It argues that the birth of the modern detective story coincided with, and responded to, the new predominance of urban life in the nineteenth century, nowhere more so than in London. While the roots of the detective story can be traced all the way back to Oedipus Rex, it is in Edgar Allan Poe's Auguste Dupin stories and Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories that the detective story becomes as much about deciphering the city as it is about unmasking the murderer. We will examine the affiliations, connections, and correspondences between the detective story and metropolitan life, with a special focus on London crime and London policing. Classes will focus on close readings of the set texts, with an emphasis on the study of literature in its historical, cultural, and material contexts. The course will argue that as the city increased in complexity, density, and vastness, so too it became proportionally less knowable, fathomable or graspable, and the more strenuous the efforts of the Urban Detective Story to "solve" it, applying rigorous logic and a set of assumptions regarding the rationality of human behaviour that were increasingly out of step with a deeply irrational world. Class discussions will likewise reconsider the often assumed equivalence between law and order and virtue, and between criminality, sin, and social transgression. We will reflect on the problematic role of the detective when society itself - or its esteemed representatives - transgresses against a higher moral law.

Drunk on Film:
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.
Shakespeare and Film
This course explores the phenomenon of Shakespeare and film, concentrating on the ranges of meaning provoked by the conjunction. We shall be looking at examples of films of Shakespeare plays both early and recent, both in English and in other languages, and both ones that stick close to the conventionalized and historicized conceptualizations of Shakespeare and adaptations at varying degrees of distance toward the erasure of Shakespeare from the text. The transportation of different forms of Shakespearean textualities (printed, theatrical, filmic) and the confrontation with the specificities of film produce a cultural phenomenon whose cultural meanings - meanings as Shakespeare and meanings as film - will be the subject of our investigations. Students will be required to view screenings of films on a regular basis during the semester. <p> Note: this course is delivered fully online. The course design combines required live weekly meetings online with self-scheduled lectures, problems, assignments, and interactive learning materials. To participate, students will need to have a computer with webcam, reliable internet connection, and a quiet place to participate in live sessions.

Film Across the Humanities
This Summer course is intended for <b>graduate students </b> who would like to incorporate films into their courses but have hesitated to do so because they have had little or no formal training in film studies. I have designed a week-long intensive course that will solve that problem by exposing seminar participants to the different pedagogical strategies they might use to incorporate films in their courses.We will begin with a crash-course in close visual analysis because I think that's the chief source of anxiety. So I've got this image up on the wall, what do I do with it? How do I get my students to be analytical about those images? Then we'll explore the various ways that really productive interdisciplinary study can be achieved through film analysis. How can we use films effectively to pursue aesthetic, political, philosophical, or theological issues? Most importantly, how can we talk about film as a "way of knowing" in what are increasingly visual cultures?During each morning session, I'll introduce a variety of approaches through lecture, scene analysis, and short selected readings. We'll have a screening each day, right after lunch, and then we'll discuss pragmatic utilization of those methods in our afternoon discussions of the film, focusing on specific applications in courses now being taught or in the process of being developed.Screenings and discussions in the Browning Cinema in the Performing Arts Center.

Then we'll explore the various ways that really productive interdisciplinary study can be achieved through film analysis. How can we use films effectively to pursue aesthetic, political, philosophical, or theological issues? Most importantly, how can we talk about film as a "way of knowing" in what are increasingly visual cultures?During each morning session, I'll introduce a variety of approaches through lecture, scene analysis, and short selected readings. We'll have a screening each day, right after lunch, and then we'll discuss pragmatic utilization of those methods in our afternoon discussions of the film, focusing on specific applications in courses now being taught or in the process of being developed.Screenings and discussions in the Browning Cinema in the Performing Arts Center.

Balfour Program
The Balfour-Hesburgh Scholars Program is designed to help students make a successful initial transition from high school to university-level academic work and campus life. The centerpiece of the Program is a summer academic experience, during which students who have been accepted into Notre Dame spend four weeks taking introductory, college-level courses in composition, calculus, computer programming, chemistry, and history, as well as leadership and well-being. Students learn to identify and apply appropriate learning strategies to maximize their performance in courses. They learn to navigate the physical campus and various academic and social resources, and meet faculty who introduce them to diverse disciplines and research. The Program also helps students to establish peer-group support, upon which they can rely during the academic year. Permission is required to register for the Program.

Inclusive Teaching
In the wake of the 2020 election, recent racial justice protests, and politicization of language surrounding COVID-19, it is critical for instructors to design intentional and inclusive learning environments in order to support a diverse range of students. In this introduction to inclusive pedagogy and social justice-oriented curricula, we will read current research on the state of higher education. More importantly, we will develop practical strategies for fostering community within the classroom, exploring intersectional student identities, diversifying course content, and more. It is my hope that you will leave the class with the ability to articulate your own goals for inclusive teaching and learning. You'll also create documents that can be used in future classrooms and on the job market for teaching-related positions.
Scientific Writing
This course offers graduate students in the sciences and engineering a focused study of the conventions of scientific writing, fostering a clearer understanding of what constitutes good writing in these fields.

Internship
This course connects students with a community-based partner organization related to the student's interests in career development and social justice. In collaboration with the Director of Undergraduate Studies, students choose a community partner organization for which they serve as an unpaid intern. In fall/spring semesters, students perform 6-8 hours of internship service per week for their chosen internship site, completing a minimum of 80 total hours. During summer session, students work 5-8 weeks full time, as defined by the internship site. Work on-site is overseen by a designated agency supervisor; coursework is supervised and evaluated by the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Students are expected to complete a short set of readings before the internship begins. Additional assignments include: weekly journal entries; a final reflection paper that summarizes the internship experience and explores its connections to the student's Gender Studies education; an updated resume that includes the internship. This course may be taken during any of the three academic sessions in junior or senior year, and may be counted as an elective towards any Gender Studies undergraduate degree.
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.

Students will engage in the major historiographical debates on the origins of the war, including the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of Hitler, the militarization of Japan, and the question of appeasement. Students will gain an appreciation of the complex interwar political and social environment while wrestling with questions of causation, structure and agency in history.
Who Are You Israel?
There are not many individuals in the world, who do not know Israel. Who did not hear something, good or bad, about it? Many have strong opinions about what is happening in this small country. During the term the students will be introduce to two axes content in an attempt to have a better understanding of this the turbulent. One - the chronological framework, of the Jewish people in general and the Israeli society in particular. The review will be general about distant history and become more detailed and conceptual the closer we get to the present time and the contemporary reality. Two - examine the content, stressing existential issues and ideological positions that guide this society or tear it from within. It will offer an overview on the political ideologies that drive the Israeli public systems. And finally, it should conclude by trying to understand the Israeli strategy.
Roman Britain
This three credit class has been designed to allow students to investigate the impact of the Roman Empire on Britain from 55BC to 406AD, and how this influence is still prevalent today. Through the discussion of both archaeological and textual sources, an understanding of what life was like in Roman occupied Britannia will be obtained. We will engage with a number of related topics, which include the changes in daily life for Britons under Roman rule, the creation of new towns, the development of technology and the role of religion. A key part of this course will be a number of site visits to put into context what can be gleaned from the textual and visual source material taught in class. These experiences will also showcase how contemporary Britain engages with its past, and the variety of methods that are employed to aid the preservation of this period of history.
