	EDU3001 Interdisciplinary Studies Seminar Fundamental to the notion of the ‘interdisciplinary’ is the displacement of knowledge from a singular locus onto a set of relationships extending across all human disciplines. To this effect this course introduces students to the critical components that underpin the disciplines found in the liberal arts and the tools needed to understand, explore, analyze, and synthesize within and across disciplines. A pre-requisite, or in some cases, co-requisite, to upper level core courses in the BA liberal arts major, students are provided the platform for understanding the connections between the arts, humanities, and sciences through a theoretical exploration of significant themes. This course will rotate through the BA faculty and departments each semester: the themes and texts will be generated by the faculty teaching the course: the theories and objectives will be those of the course. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course.

	EDU3011 Philosophy of Education Philosophy of Education is designed to promote deep inquiry into the development of philosophical ideas of education over time, how these ideas were shaped by historical settings, and how they influence our beliefs and practices in education today. Each exploration will start with a vignette of a classroom that illustrates the best practice in a class if one held a certain set of beliefs. It continues with a historical introduction to the great foundational thinkers and current educational philosophers that adhere to each of the views explored. Through reading, journaling, synthesis papers, and discussion, students will explore the curriculum, pedagogy, role of the teacher, role of the school, and design of the school as reflected in each philosophical stance. In addition to text-book reading, each week students will be expected to grapple with original documents that are foundational to the philosophy being explored. In a seminar discussion, students will present their analysis to classmates. Students will conduct a literature review of a current education topic and will examine that topic through the lens of one of the philosophers studied. Students also will choose a book to read and discuss, and will view educational models through videos and on field trips. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, one of them in the Social Science or Education discipline, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course. EDU 1031 , Introduction to Education, is also highly recommended as a prerequisite. Credits: 3.000 WRT 1012 Lecture Min Credits: 3.00
	EDU4011 Sem in Learning Diff, Politics & Culture This 4000-level seminar focuses on the concept of ‘learning disability’ from multiple perspectives, with an emphasis on how these perspectives may play a role in shaping self-concept and modes of enactment for individuals who have been labeled with some form of LD. The course will examine the LD concept through multiple lenses, including the historical evolution of the LD concept; clinical, medical and scientific frames of reference; legal and educational policy and practices; the place of LD within American culture and society; multi-cultural and trans-national dimensions; lived experience; and economic and political modes of analysis. The main focus of the first ten weeks of the seminar will be to achieve a common sense of how the LD concept has evolved and may continue to change in the future. In the last five weeks, students complete a final project that seeks to challenge and extend what it means to have a learning difference in contemporary society. Students will write a short topic paper in each of the first ten weeks, and then take a comprehensive exam before spending the last five weeks using seminar discussion and independent research to develop a formal presentation and 10-15 page paper on a topic of their choosing.

	HIS2061 Special Topics: History Though Film This course examines historically-based films as both primary and secondary sources of information about the past. The material in films, just as with written and other “traditional” sources, needs to be critically analyzed for its perspectives, biases, interpretive choices, intended purpose, and ultimately, reliability. Thus, many of the same skills that historians bring to their analysis of more traditional primary and secondary sources can also be applied to the critical interpretation of non-traditional sources like film. The course also challenges students to examine the relative successes or failures that the selected films have had in portraying the past, and asks them to analyze how present events, cultures, and attitudes shape our view of the past. The course will ultimately attempt to answer these two over-arching questions: Where are films situated with regard to other kinds of historical discourse? Just what, if anything, do history films convey about the past, and how do they convey it?

	HIS3011 Modernism Beginning at the end of the 19th century, there was profound shift in European and American culture. The name “Modernism” has been applied to the “new” thought and art of the next half-century, which reflected recent developments in fields as diverse as industrialism, psychology and physics. This course considers both the historical circumstances that created this “modern” aesthetic, and also the impact the “modernists” continue to have on the way we see and think about the world. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course. Students cannot receive credit for both HIS2011 and HIS3011. Credits: 3.000 WRT 1012 Lecture Min Credits: 3.00
	HIS3031 Civil War & Reconstruction This upper-level course presents a thorough portrait of the Civil War. It begins with an examination of the coming of the war, including the development of abolitionism and the counter-argument of the pro-slavery positions that changed in the 1830s and 1840s, before moving on to the fierce and increasingly widespread political battles of the 1850s. Next, and through a survey of the ever-increasing scholarship, we will investigate the war itself: the political, social, and cultural aspects in addition to the military history necessary to the understanding of the war itself. Then, the aftermath of the war will be studied: the great promise of Reconstruction, the inclusion of African Americans in the politics of the nation, and the long slide of Reconstruction to failure. This brings us to the nadir of the 1896 Supreme Court decision affirming Jim Crow: Plessy v. Ferguson. Finally, upper-level students will close the course with an analysis of both the memory of the war and the changing historiography from the late nineteenth century to the present, culminating in a final address to the dynamic question: How is the Civil War remembered? In addition to James McPherson’s Ordeal by Fire and two works of historical fiction, upper-level students will read numerous primary documents and scholarly essays as they develop their understanding of both the history, and historiography, of the Civil War era. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course. Students cannot receive credit for both HIS 2031 and HIS3031.

	INT3001 Interdisciplinary Studies Seminar Fundamental to the notion of the ‘interdisciplinary’ is the displacement of knowledge from a singular locus onto a set of relationships extending across all human disciplines. To this effect this course introduces students to the critical components that underpin the disciplines found in the liberal arts and the tools needed to understand, explore, analyze, and synthesize within and across disciplines. A pre-requisite, or in some cases, co-requisite, to upper level core courses in the BA liberal arts major, students are provided the platform for understanding the connections between the arts, humanities, and sciences through a theoretical exploration of significant themes. This course will rotate through the BA faculty and departments each semester: the themes and texts will be generated by the faculty teaching the course: the theories and objectives will be those of the course. Students must have completed three courses at the 2000 level, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course.
