Academic Writing as Inquiry
4 credits
Faculty: Emily Lardner, 867-6637, Emily
Decker Lardner
Tue, 6–9:30p
Enrollment: 25
CRN: 20736
This class is designed for students who want to practice academic writing—beginners
and experienced writers alike. It’s based on the premise that academic
writing begins with an inquiry—a question about ideas or practices
that matter to the writer and to other readers. Since good academic writing
depends on careful thinking, careful reading and good conversation, we
will spend time practicing all three, as well as working on writing directly.

"Why can't we just get along?" is a question that should be

retaliation? This class will examine current debates about the nature
and value of cultural, religious and political pluralism and case studies
of successes and failures of "pluralistic" social systems. We
will examine historical examples of pluralistic societies and look for

Faculty: Ann Storey, 867-5008
Wed, 6–9:30p
Prerequisite: Sophomore standing or above
Special Expenses: $10 for art supplies
Enrollment: 25
CRN: 20721
This class will study the "new art" of the 15th and 16th centuries
which heralded the Renaissance in northern Europe. Coinciding with the
development of the oil pointing medium itself, northern Renaissance artists
immediately realized its potential to create very naturalistic effects.
Yet this radiant realism was still in service to an intense devotional
spirit. We will study the humanism of Erasmus, chief interpreter to the
north of Italian Renaissance ideas. Humanism led to the development of
the portrait and the beginnings of a landscape painting tradition. During
the 16th century, this world was shaken by the Reformation and religious
wars, leading to the enigmatic, tortured subject matter of Bosch and Grunewald.
Since the art of printmaking makes its appearance during this era, we
will produce our own lino-cut prints in response.

Please see the faculty for information on a Spring Quarter contract.
Grand Canyon is one of the geologic wonders of the world. Erosion by
the Colorado River exposes a history of change that goes back over a billion
years. Unfortunately, changes brought by human activities in the past
century are affecting the river corridor in ways that endanger this riparian
ecosystem. The debate over how to address the negative consequences of
human intervention along the Colorado River corridor is contentious, ongoing,
and far from resolved. This contract will allow students to experience
the magic of a 17-day dory trip down the Colorado River, and to see first
hand what is at stake if the ecological function of the riparian zone
is further compromised. In consultation with the faculty, each student
will select a topic to investigate prior to departure, and do in-depth
research to gain necessary background to make observations during the
trip. Upon return to campus, students will write a report comparing how
their observations match what has been portrayed by the various interest
groups. This class was originally scheduled as a winter elective in the
MES Program. Several spots are available for students interested in writing
a spring quarter individual learning contract. Contact Paul Butler ASAP
(butlerp@evergreen.edu or (360) 867-6722) if interested.

Within an active learning community, we will examine how special interest
groups capture and frame health care rhetoric and reform efforts. We will
examine the complex, multi-faceted "(non)system" of health care
by exploring historical roots, current policy making and implementation
(incrementalism), and political and stakeholders’ perspectives.
We will craft multiple perspectives through an exploration of the personal
voices of health, multicultural health access and quality barriers, alternative/complementary
care’s models of mind/body/spirit health integration, and various
pathways for participatory citizen reform/action.
