	EDU2041 Lifestyles for Learning This course explores current scientifically-based information about health and wellness issues relevant to the college student, from the individual to the more global perspective. The course introduces health education content specifically confronting college-age adults, including mind/ body health, sleep, diet and nutrition, and models of resilience. Students will be provided opportunities to research, apply and practice various models related to course themes, and will ultimately complete a Personal Health Toolkit. This wellness course focuses on the relationship between lifestyle choices and the learning process, asking students to reflect on how their personal choices can affect their academic achievement. Students explore course themes through assigned readings and discussion. The course will incorporate a seminar format when students are expected to engage in an on-going written reflection of how the seminar theories, activities and readings, coupled with their direct experiences, are informing their understanding of the course themes related to healthy lifestyle choices that positively impact the college student. In addition, students will share their reflective writing and thoughts with the other seminar participants. Each student develops a research question to study throughout the course, and is expected to integrate their research findings into the Personal Health Toolkit that they ultimately create, as well as the culminating group project.

	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. Credits: 3.000 WRT 1012 Lecture Min Credits: 3.00 And EDU 1011 Lecture Min Credits: 3.00 Or EDU 1001 Lecture Min Credits: 3.00 Or EDU 1201 Lecture Min Credits: 2.00
	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.

There have been two types of utopias: intentional communities formed to put utopian ideals into practice; and literary utopias that have served as inspirations and sometimes as blueprints of sorts. We will investigate at length an example of each time in the larger context of utopian thought and practice. We shall also consider, in addition to utopia in America, the idea of America as utopia.

	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 class format will combine film-screenings, lecture, and discussion around an engaging thematic topic. Students will be asked to actively engage in discussion, write critical film reviews, and write a final comparative analysis paper.

	HIS2081 ST: Vikings, Mongols, and Maya Globalism or globalization is most often thought of as a modern phenomenon, made possible by modern means of transportation and communication. This course recasts that interpretation by considering three case studies. One was the largest contiguous land empire the world has ever seen (Mongol Empire). One was the group who made the first sea voyage from Europe to the Americas, some 500 years before Columbus (the Vikings). And one was a network of city-states that developed the most sophisticated written language so far found native to the Americas (the Maya civilization). We will read a sample of major primary sources produced by each of these societies. Our materials include written sources, archaeology, architecture, anthropological approaches, and we will also look at how these societies have been depicted (and misrepresented) by pop culture: TV shows, movies, names of sports teams, etc. We will explore such topics as politics and warfare, culture and religion, gender and sexuality, and trade and economics.

	HIS2731 Sp Top: Legions & Legends Pagans Priests Located in London, this study abroad course will explore the history, culture, religion, and literature of the period from the Roman occupation of England until its eventual unification in the reign of Alfred the Great in the 9th century. Course questions include: Why did the Roman Empire extend its reaches to the British Isles in 55 BCE? What prompted them to leave four hundred years later? What happened after they left, in a period shrouded in mystery and legend? Was King Arthur real? What of the legends of Excalibur, Guinevere and Lancelot, and the Knights of the Round Table? Who were the Saxons, and how did they finally unify Britain, reigning in a kingdom that has fired the imagination of the English-speaking world for centuries? The class will visit archeological sites, cities, museums, and ruins that tell the stories of this complex history. Students will be asked to write reports on course-related excursions, write reflection essays, and take quizzes on course discussions and reading materials.

	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 WRT1012 and HIS at 100 level or one 2000 level Humanities (HIS,HUM,PHI, REL) course, with with a C or higher. Credits: 3.000 WRT 1012 Lecture Min Credits: 3.00
	HIS3012 ST: Refugees & Migration Our world currently faces the worst refugee crisis since World War II, with approximately 60 million people made homeless by war, state violence, famine, climate change, flood and forced expulsions. This course examines the crisis within a historical and political framework. We will interrogate every stage of the processes that create and handle population displacements, and we will consider refugees themselves not as merely victims of circumstance but as historical actors who face crucial and gut-wrenching decisions at every turn in their journeys. Perspectives to consider are those of refugees, governments, aid agencies, and the host communities where (some) refugees are eventually resettled. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) often suffer even more than those who make it across an international border, as many remain beyond the reach of humanitarian aid and media visibility. This course covers classic readings on displacement and supplements those with first-hand experience and interactions with refugees resettled locally in Vermont, as well as the organizations that support them.

	HIS3013 ST: Civil Rights & Social Movements What forces came together in the twentieth century to support dynamic and sustained movements for civil rights? How did the civil rights struggles of one group overlap with and influence the momentum of another? These are two of the “big questions” this course will address as it examines the decades of struggle for recognition, inclusion, and equality for marginalized populations in America. As this course examines the diverse origins of civil rights struggles for various populations within the United States, it will focus specifically on the Civil Rights Movement era, in which various struggles-African American civil rights, the disability rights movement, organized labor in the 20th century, and the women’s liberation movement-gained visibility, occupied center stage in U.S. social, political, and cultural politics, and acted collectively to challenge the status quo of the powerful political, social, economic, and cultural systems that resisted this change.

	HIS3014 ST: Overthrowing Empire This course examines some of the most significant decolonization movements of the 20th century, exploring the breakdown and overthrow of colonial and imperil government in the provinces of the British, Spanish, and Japanese empires, and of the French colonial regimes. We will consider cases from various contexts: Africa, East Asia, the Middle East, Central America. Topics include the growth of national identity, armies, education, and statecraft, and the rise of ethnonationalism. As we think about the impact of arbitrary national borders drawn by western powers, we will also look at the role of violence, both colonial violence and the violence of the colonized.

	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.

	HIS3041 Nature and Culture This course examines the variety of ways in which historical cultures have conceptualized and represented nature in religion, philosophy, literature, and the arts. We will begin by comparing the view of nature in creation myths from several world cultures. Next, we will survey the understanding of nature expressed in representative Asian and Western religious texts, and then consider Greek philosophy’s analytical approach to nature. Finally, we will look at seminal eras in modern world history when new interpretations of nature emerged, and conclude with a sampling of contemporary representations of nature in literature, art, music and film. Students must have completed WRT1012 and HIS at 1000 level OR one 2000-level Humanities (HIS, HUM, PHI, REL) course, either with a grade of C or higher.

	HIS3071 Special Topics: Personal History As defined in this course Personal History is a student undertaken by students, using the tools and methods of historians, with the goal of exploring a topic of historical as well as personal significance to the researcher/writer. Examples of personal history considered will include common course readings that embody their authors’ search for knowledge and understanding about people and events that lie beyond their own individual lives yet are powerfully connected to both family experiences and a sense of identity. Using an online genealogy research program, students will construct a family tree and then investigate the historical background of their own lives and of their ancestors. Through this process, students will explore ancestry in relation to such issues as race, ethnicity, religion, and social class. A final research paper will focus on providing historical context for a pivotal moment in the family history, or for a specific ancestor. Beyond the specific projects related to personal and family history, students should emerge from this course with enhanced skills in research and source-based writing.Students must have completed WRT1012 and HIS at 1000 level OR one 2000-level Humanities (HIS, HUM, PHI, REL) course, either with a grade of C or higher.

Students are asked to draw on at least two disciplines studied during their upper level BA curriculum in order to produce a proposal for a project that demonstrates both interdisciplinary inquiry into a complex question and competence in academic research. The course requires substantial reading, note-taking, and collaboration with peers in a seminar format. Starting with the task of narrowing an inquiry question, the class will engage in both group processes to refine interdisciplinary awareness and independent work in the production of a literature review based on an individual project outline. Intended to provide an example of students’ analytical and practical abilities, each approved capstone project will require demonstrated understanding of disciplinary methods of inquiry, critical and creative thinking, information literacy skills, and effective written communication. Students will submit their project proposal and literature review to a faculty review committee. This course is the preparatory requirement for INT4001 Capstone II for the BA in Liberal Studies degree.

	LIN1011 Introduction to Linguistic Analysis What is language? What do we know when we know language? Linguistics is the science of identifying patterns of sounds and words, and figuring out the different meanings associated with different patterns. Learning how to do this allows us to develop analytical abilities that free us to enter with confidence and skill any situation in which language is used. Introduction to Linguistic Science is a college entry level course designed to help students develop an understanding of human language as both a structural and cultural phenomenon. Much of the learning will take place in class. In a student-centered, interactive, seminar-style class, students will discuss, investigate, hypothesize, test theories and draw conclusions about language using data from English and Swahili. Through these in-class activities and homework, students will develop basic skills in linguistic analysis of these levels of language: phonetics, phonology, morphology, and syntax. Credits: 3.000
	LIN2011 Linguistic Analysis of World Languages What is language? What do we know when we know language?

	LIT2025 ST: New England Writers Here in the heart of New England we will explore the question of whether or not we can claim a tradition of “New England Literature”, and if so, what distinguishes it? “New England Writers” is historically expansive in scope and may consider writers from the colonial period to the present. A wide range of themes and issues are treated in the works of the writers we will discuss, including questions of personal identity, regional history and geography, and the cultures of New England. The writers will themselves represent a diversity of identities and backgrounds. Can we, in the scope of this plenty, discern a unifying idea/narrative or theme that distinguishes these authors with a sense of place? What does living and working in this place contribute to the work of these writers? Students will learn about the literary forms utilized by the writers considered in class, the history and context of the specific works under discussion, and methods of literary analysis to address the topics and themes raised in the texts.

	LIT2026 ST: Exploring Gender in Lit Beginning with the concept of ladies and gentlemen as presented in chivalry, then moving through history, looking at poetry, fiction, and plays that reflect gender stereotypes of the time and more recent works that undermine them, this course will analyze how literature has reflected, helped shape, or challenged gender roles. To what extent does biology determine what a culture considers acceptable behavior? What are the pressures of manhood in each work? What are the pressures of womanhood? What are the pressures for those who do not fit in the male/female gender binary? How does cultural pressure to conform to gender norms influence characters’ behavior? How do those who do not fit in react, and what, if any, consequences do they face? Readings will include Chopin’s novella The Awakening, Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, Churchill’s Top Girls, and Hwang’s M. Butterfly. Credits: 3.000
	LIT2027 ST: Liars, Outliers, and Truth Tellers The contemporary memoir has become one of the largest segments of the publishing industry in the 21st century. Memoirists tell a story, based on a specific time-period, event, or collection of memories, to make meaning of the experience. Our review of these memoirs will help us explore issues of truth and embellishment, meaning and interpretation, and ultimately, the diverse human experience in living and narrating one’s story. Themes will include racial and gender identity, family, displacement, and resilience in the face of dire circumstances. Students will be asked to read critically, discuss, and write analytically about a variety of contemporary memoirs, including graphic memoirs. Credits: 3.000 WRT1012 Lecture Min Credits: 3.00
	LIT3001 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.

	LIT3016 ST: Reading Race The annals of literary study are steeped in white privilege, yet literature provides one of the most important lenses through which we can vicariously experience and to some extent understand diverse racial identities. Black and brown writers are redefining our understanding of race and revealing the privilege of the literary canon. Employing a variety of critical approaches, Reading Race will attempt to review the ways in which both authors of color and white authors represent race and racism on the page. We will read novels, short stories, plays, and poems that place us within the experience and the questions of race as explored by different authors, and as they allow us to see it. Through this reading, we will investigate the complicated concepts of race, racism, privilege, and prejudice. This course relies upon students’ close, critical reading of literary sources, insightful contributions and leadership in class discussion, and dedication to the concept of knowledge creation.

	LIT3032 Studies in the Novel Many claim that the events of September 11, 2001 are indescribable and unfathomable. Yet many have also looked to the narrative power of the novel to attempt to make sense of this experience and its ongoing ramifications. In this course we will read five “Post 9/11 novels” and consider the different approaches five authors take in exploring and seeking to understand the significance of 9/11. The course provides background information on this defining event in U.S. History and its aftermath, and looks at how religion, race, national origin, fairness, and justice continue to shape the U.S. response to and understanding of 9/11. The course will be run as a seminar, consisting of class discussions and presentations, with an emphasis on critical reading and writing. Students are expected to be prepared each day to contribute their observations, insights, and questions. Students will sometimes be asked to do research and share their findings in mini presentations in class. Written assignments will include short informal responses as well as several formal essays of literary analysis, research, and synthesis.

	LIT3033 Monsters & Men in 19th Cent British Lit In this 19th-century British literature survey course we examine texts that conflate humanity and monstrosity. The monster - whether a vampire, zombie, witch, sea creature, or ghost - forces us to reconsider the line between self and “other” and pushes the boundaries of reality. Monstrosity plays a central role in human history. To understand the significance of the monster in social, sexual, political, and cultural contexts we read novels, theory, short stories, poetry, and watch film from the British canon to pose questions about what monsters reveal about human nature and experience. The relationship between monsters of the past and present is investigated through various contexts such as Darwinism, the Industrial Revolution, colonialism, critical race theory, and feminism. What is most terrifying about the monster is its expression of the darkest human potential. Roundtable discussion, interactive lecture, small group work, and workshops will be used to present and discuss content. Students must have completed a 2000-level literature course, with a grade of C or higher, as prerequisite for this course.

	LIT3034 Poetry Seminar This course will focus on studying poetry through a number of cultural, historical, and theoretical lenses. The topic of the course will vary by semester, for example, a seminar on the New England poets, a seminar on world poetry (or poets in exile), or a seminar on poets of the Harlem Renaissance. In all seminars, the readings, writing assignments, and discussions will include poems, , and a variety of perspectives and theories of literary criticism (including, but not limited to deconstruction, gender theories, formalism, post-colonialism, post-structuralism, queer theory, post-identity, and eco-criticism). Interdisciplinary elements include a close examination of the historical, cultural, and geographical contexts of the poets and poetry being studied. Where possible, each seminar will also include experiential components, such as attendance at poetry readings or visits to museums or collections at other colleges. Students will engage with the material by writing informal responses and several formal essays; doing research; and actively contributing to seminars. Assessment will also include a midterm and final exam. Students must have completed a 2000 level literature course, with a grade of C or higher, as prerequisite for this course.

	LIT3035 SpTp:Masculinities: Gender in Literature What does it mean to be a man? How have ideas of masculinity developed and changed over the centuries? What can literature tell us about both fixed and fluid ideas of gender? This course explores literary depictions of masculinity from Homer to Alan Moore to answer these questions. Through reading we will discover that gender identity is never truly fixed, and at the same time, always considered to be stable at its temporal status quo. As part of our interdisciplinary degree in liberal studies, Masculinities will use ideas from the disciplines of sociology, psychology, and history to closely analyze literature in its manifold contexts. This course relies upon students’ close, critical reading of literary sources, insightful contributions and leadership in class discussion, and dedication to the concept of knowledge creation. Students must have completed a 2000 level literature course, with grades of C or higher, as prerequisites for this course.

	LIT3036 ST:Keats to Kendrick:Prosody Poetry Song The English language has gone through many transitions since the Old English period. Still, fundamental aspects of prosody (rhythm, stress, and intonation) have persisted, and are evident in the underlying structures of contemporary music genres such as folk, the blues, and hip-hop. Students will study classic examples of traditional forms - the Old English alliterative line, the ballad, the sonnet, and lyric forms from the 17th century, as well as the poetry of the 19th century. They will apply this analysis to a critical examination of musical forms that became popular in the 20th century, in order to discern underlying patterns and examine cultural factors that shaped the evolution of the American lyric. Students will complete two major critical essays, practice writing in the forms they study, and demonstrate basic understanding of prosody as well as the cultural influences that have shaped the modern lyric. Students must have completed a 2000 level literature course, with a grade of C or higher, as prerequisite for this course.
