A Sense of Wonder Hirsh Diamant and Nancy Parkes communications cultural studies education environmental studies literature natural history sustainability studies writing	Program	SO–SRSophomore–Senior	12	12	Evening and Weekend	F 13 Fall	W 14Winter			Students in this interdisciplinary program, which continues from Fall quarter, will learn how to cultivate a “sense of wonder” while building skills as writers, activists, artists, and interdisciplinary scholars. Our work will combine theory and practice as we delve into the rich areas of literature, cultural studies, writing, creative arts, contemplative practice, natural history, and environmental/outdoor education. We will explore how we develop roots to the natural world and explore themes related to natural history literature, the Pacific Northwest, and global multicultural traditions that have intimate connections to place, family, education, and artistic practice. At the core of our inquiry will be the questions: What enlivens culture? What motivates change? Working from a rich, interdisciplinary perspective, we will study what it means to be rooted to place and how place connects us to a deep sense of purpose and meaning through word and image, language and tradition, stories and activism, and education and scholarship. Highlights of Winter quarter will include a three day Lunar New Year and Tai Ji celebration and Community Service work in areas of students’ interests.

The program will include basic programming in Javascript, Web development, introductory computer electronics, and other computer science topics. We will contrast this with human cognition. We will then look at how computers will likely affect the way we live, work, and relate in the future. In seminar we will explore the issues surrounding machine vs human consciousness and strong artificial intelligence.		Ab Van Etten	Sat	Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR	Spring	Spring

Conquest East, Conquest West: Comparative "Manifest Destinies" Thomas Rainey and John Baldridge anthropology cultural studies ecology geography history political economy	Program	SO–SRSophomore–Senior	8	08	Evening and Weekend		W 14Winter	S 14Spring		This interdisciplinary program offers comparative study of the Russian conquest of northern Eurasia (Siberia) and the Euro-American conquest of North America. It will explore the impact of what environmental historian Alfred Crosby calls "ecological imperialism" on native populations, economic development of the nations based on the exploitation of natural and agricultural resources, the ecological consequences of this exploitation, and the successes and failures of conservation efforts in Russia east of the Urals and in the United States west of the Mississippi. It will also consider the religious, economic, and social motivations and apologias for the ecological conquests. During the winter quarter, the program will examine these two world historical examples of ecological expansion and its consequences from 1600-1900; during the spring quarter, the program will explore the course and legacy of these conquests in the twentieth century as well as the current ecological state of these two continent-wide environments. Students can expect to read and write about bio-geographical, environmental-historical, ethnographic, natural historical, demographic, and political economic texts focusing on the western United States and on northern Eurasia. Personal and fictional accounts as well as films will also be used to enhance understanding of the environmental, economic, and social consequences of conquest. During the spring quarter, students can also expect to research and write short environmental histories of local areas in Western Washington. Credit will largely be in environmental history, bio-geography, and political economy.		Thomas Rainey John Baldridge	Tue Thu	Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR	Winter	Winter Spring

Culture as History Susan Preciso and Mark Harrison American studies history literature media studies Signature Required: Winter	Program	SO–SRSophomore–Senior	8, 12	08 12	Evening and Weekend	F 13 Fall	W 14Winter	S 14Spring		What is culture and how does it inform our understanding and interpretation of history? As we explore this question, students will study works of fiction, film, visual art and history to determine how our culture shapes our ideas about past and present realities. Each quarter students will incorporate quantitative methods to enrich and explain aspects of American culture. We’ll look at cultural products, from high art to popular culture with a particular focus on film and literature, to see how they reflect and shape our ideas about who and what we are. Our study will be organized around three turbulent decades in American history.During Fall Quarter, we considered the post-Civil War years, including Reconstruction and western expansion. From dime novels to Hollywood westerns, we examined how deeply we are shaped by 19 and 20 century frontier ideology. Money and technology—capitalism and the railroads—also drove westward migration. We analyzed the tensions around race and class as they figure in film, novels, and popular culture.Winter quarter, we will move to the 1930s. How did the Great Depression and the policy created to deal with that crisis change the way we see government? What was the impact of two great migrations—from the dust bowl states to the West, and from the agricultural South to the industrial north—on American society? In such a time of hardship and deprivation, how did the Golden Age of Hollywood reflect our cultural realities through genre films, such as the screwball comedy, the musical, and the gangster film?In the spring, we’ll focus on the 1950s and ‘60s and how upward—and outward—mobility informed who and where we are today. The Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War transformed the country. Cars, freeways, and the rise of the suburbs re-shaped the cultural landscape, and television expanded the scope of mass media and popular culture.Our work will include critical reading of books and films. Students will be expected to learn about schools of cultural criticism, using different approaches to enrich their analyses. They will be expected to participate in seminar, lectures, workshops, and library research and to attend field trips to local museums and live theater performances.The thread of mathematics runs through the tapestry of everything we’ll study in Culture as History. Often times, in a non-math/science interdisciplinary program, even though the threads are there, they are never seen but lay hidden. In Culture as History, we’ll work to pull some of these threads forward – to brighten the image and sharpen the focus of the topics we’ll study. The mathematical threads that we choose to pull forward will be carefully chosen to gently enhance the image. Through collaborative learning, the mathematical topics we’ll engage with include quantitative literacy (reading and interpreting information), graph theory (How far is it to New York?), and other topics as appropriate.

Doing Research: Addressing Topics That Matter Emily Lardner and Allen Mauney education environmental studies mathematics sustainability studies writing	Program	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	8	08	Evening		W 14Winter	S 14Spring		The skills to design and conduct effective research—defined as systematic inquiry-- are essential components of a liberal arts education and professional work. In this program, students will develop strong writing, critical reading, and statistical reasoning skills applicable to a variety of fields. The program is organized around two core assumptions: first, that research is more about thinking than doing, and second, that good research uses appropriate methods to support claims and communicate results effectively. In winter quarter, we will use the broad topic of climate change—understanding it, preparing for it, and adapting to it—as a shared focus for developing research skills. Students will focus on aspects of climate change that connect with their previous and future studies, or their current interests. Students will build skills through active-learning workshops, hands-on data collection and analysis, and critical analysis of online and print media reports. We will discuss research articles from a variety of fields, noting what makes some articles effective and others less so. In the second quarter of the program, students will be invited to identify their own topics for investigation, and continue to develop research tools and methods.The goal of the program is to help students become good researchers—good at asking and answering questions about complex topics in systematic ways. We expect that students will come to the program with a variety of backgrounds—from little or no experience with quantitative reasoning and statistics to some background, and from limited writing experience to lots of it. Successful students in this program will be intellectually curious and keen to become better at asking and answering good questions.

East-West Psychology: Destructive Thought/Emotion Jamyang Tsultrim philosophy psychology	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	4	04	Weekend	F 13 Fall				Are destructive emotions innately embedded in human nature? Can they be eradicated? A growing body of Western research has examined these and other questions through the perspectives of Eastern psychology and philosophy which view destructive emotions, perceptions, and behaviors as the primary source of human suffering. To alleviate this suffering, Eastern psychology has developed a rich and varied methodology for recognizing, reducing, transforming, and preventing these destructive forms of mind and emotion. After examining the nature and function of the afflictive mind/emotions, students will choose one emotion to study in-depth and develop effective East/West interventions to transform this emotion/state of mind.

Ecopsychology Susan Cummings psychology	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	2	02	Evening				Su 14 Session II Summer	Mind and nature are inseparable. The natural world is not outside of us or separate from us, but it us. Ecopsychology is an exciting emerging perspective that explores the connection between psychological and ecological health. Many of our psychological ills and our addictions are directly related to our lack of awareness and our perceived disconnection from our natural origins. The very destruction of our habitat is an expression of this lack of connection to the ground of our being. There are many emerging approaches to deal with this, such as the greening of playgrounds, nature-based therapy, architecture that aims to connect us with a healthy habitat, and the exploration of our assumptions. We will explore the historical and cultural influences underlying and leading up to this perceived separation from nature, cultural differences in perspectives, assumptions in psychology, the connections between pathology and this perceived separateness from nature, and the role of connectedness with nature in child development. We will also explore the role of innovation, creativity and Active Hope in ecopsychological healing. Students will review the literature, engage in experiential activities and projects, and brainstorm solutions. Depending on the weather, we may spend sometime outdoors.

Essentials of Energy: Economics, Politics, Ethics Howard Schwartz economics environmental studies political science	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	4	04	Evening			S 14Spring		Our interest in Essentials of Energy is learning about what it means to make the "right" energy choices. The first part of the course will cover the energy resources that are currently available. These include oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, and many kinds of renewable energy. We will study the availability of each (How much is there? How is it obtained? What does it cost?), their advantages and disadvantages, and their environmental consequences. We will then be in position to study policy: what mix of energy resources should we have? While we will look at the policies of other countries and the international politics of energy, our focus will be on current US policies and how to evaluate options for change. Since policy is created and implemented through politics we will then spend much of the class looking at how political and governmental institutions (and the cultures they are embedded in) produce energy policies. For the United States, we will focus on climate change, conservation and renewable energy. Internationally, we will look at how the international oil trade affects different countries in different ways. For some countries oil enables modernizations and a rising standard of living while for other it is a "resource curse" which stifles development and enhances corruption.

In winter quarter we will further develop our understanding of evolutionary theory and of ethics. Central questions for winter quarter will include: Is the imperative of evolutionary fitness, defined as individual reproductive success, consistent with ethical behavior? Has our evolutionary history as social animals given us an intrinsic sense of moral concern for others? What, if any, are our ethical obligations to near and distant others, to family and to strangers, to other species, and to ecosystems and global ecology? In that context, we’ll develop an understanding of the ways in which ethics can be consistent with a naturalistic conception of the world and an understanding of the fundamental biological processes of life and of the evolution, diversity, and relationships among different forms of life on Earth.

Health Inequity: Telling the Story and Changing It Nancy Anderson, Frances V. Rains and Lori Blewett Native American studies communications community studies health history political science	Program	JR–SRJunior–Senior	8	08	Weekend	F 13 Fall	W 14Winter	S 14Spring		This year-long program will introduce the scope and tools of communication, social science, and public health. Public health and prevention are often the invisible part of health policy. Those who are healthy or whose diseases have been prevented never know what they missed. Yet we know that all people are not equally likely to have long and healthy lives. Understanding the factors associated with health and wellness, including the effects of class, race, and ethnicity, was the focus of fall quarter. In addition we considered ways that communication between health providers and people who use health services can affect health outcomes, particularly in cross-cultural and cross-class contexts. Our work during fall quarter equipped us for winter and spring quarters, when we will focus on the specific challenges to health and wellbeing that Native American people in the Salish Sea region face, in terms of cultural as well as physical survival.During winter and spring quarters, the Grays Harbor program will focus on the Peoples of the Salish Sea (Puget Sound, Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Georgia Straits). Central elements of the winter and spring portions of the program will include the colonization of Native peoples of the Salish Sea that accompanied European settlement, Indigenous resistance, rights and cultural renewal, a critique of current policies and practices that have not promoted the achievement of social or health equity, and the public health and social policies that may intervene to improve overall health and wellness in the surrounding communities. We will explore the intersection of place, culture, and health and how these factors reflect inequity in access to—and degradation of—resources in and around the Salish Sea. We will examine these themes through multiple lenses including political ecology, public health, history, and Native studies. Our readings will include current case studies, empirical research, and counter-narratives.The overarching questions that will carry us through these two quarters include how European settlement has affected the wellbeing of the Salish peoples, the interaction through time and space between Native and non-Native peoples, and the effects of these interactions on health, wellbeing, and sustainability of these communities. We will also examine ways in which lessons from history and current vulnerabilities can help us create a viable and equitable future that will heal and honor the Salish Sea and all its people. During spring quarter the program plans to visit the Elwha River and learn about the history of the Elwha River ecosystem as a case study and example of social injustice. We will study the effects of the Elwha Dam as well as the expected effects of dam removal on the Elwha ecosystem, tribal sovereignty, and overall health and wellness of the Elwha Klallam people.Throughout the year, learning will take place through writing, readings, seminars, lectures, films, art, and guest speakers.

Immigration Law and History of the U.S. Southern Border Arleen Sandifer government history law and government policy law and public policy	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	4	04	Evening and Weekend				Su 14 Session I Summer	In its first words on the subject of citizenship, Congress in 1790 restricted naturalization to ‘white persons.’ [T]his racial prerequisite to citizenship endured for over a century and a half, remaining in force until 1952. From the earliest years of this country until just a generation ago, being a "white person" was a condition for acquiring citizenship.” -- Ian Haney Lopez, , 1. Most people do not realize that the notion of the United States as a “white” majority nation is largely a construction of law. In this course, we examine how our understanding of immigration history and law changes if we shift our view from Ellis Island in New York’s harbor to the U.S. southern border. We’ll examine the current landscape of immigration law and policy and restrictionist and immigrant-rights movements. We’ll critically analyze how concepts of race are embedded in immigration law and policy and how those embedded concepts drive the current debates on immigration reform. Students will build some basic legal skills through reading and researching important cases and laws. We’ll look at the historical context within which immigration issues relating to the southern U.S. border have arisen and continue to be defined. We will examine current controversies about immigration, immigrant workers, labor movements, and the varied ways communities respond to the most recent immigration boom.Major areas of study include: U.S. history, immigration history, immigration law, politics, American studies, and critical race theory. This course is preparatory for careers and future studies in history, law, labor organizing, government and politics.

Physics and Calculus: Finding Order in the Physical World Allen Mauney mathematics physics	Program	SO–SRSophomore–Senior	8	08	Evening	F 13 Fall				Physics is concerned with the basic principles of the universe. It is the foundation on which engineering, technology, and other sciences are based. The science of physics has developed out of the efforts of men and women to explain our physical environment. These efforts have been so successful that the laws of physics now encompass a remarkable variety of phenomena. One of the exciting features of physics is its capacity for predicting how nature will behave in one situation on the basis of experimental data obtained in another situation. In this program we will begin the process of understanding the underlying order of the physical world by modeling physical systems using both the analytical tools of calculus and the numerical tools provided by digital computers. We will also have significant laboratory experience to make predictions and explore some of these models. In this thematically-integrated program, students will cover calculus and algebra-based physics through small-group discussions, interactive lectures, and laboratory investigations. In physics, we will learn about motion, energy, models, and the process for constructing them. Through our study of calculus, we will learn how to analyze these models mathematically. We will study some of Galileo's significant contributions to classical mechanics, Kepler's astronomical observations, Newton's work on calculus and laws of motion, Euler's applications of calculus to the study of real-life problems in physics (magnetism, optics and acoustics), Maxwell's development of the unified theory of magnetism, Einstein’s relativity, and many others. This program will cover many of the traditional topics of both first-quarter calculus and first-quarter physics. Covering these topics together allows for the many connections between them to be reinforced while helping make clear the value of each.

It is designed to expose one to a wide array of concepts in the natural sciences, and will emphasize the use of the ‘scientific method.’ The course will involve a combination of lectures, discussions, and hands on lab exercises involving the acquisition and analysis of experimental data to be compared with theoretical predictions. The course will cover fundamental concepts in wave theory and thermodynamics. For wave theory, the harmonic oscillator will be the starting point, and lead into the linear wave equation, with applications illustrated for optics, acoustics, and waves derived from density variations in a fluid (e.g. ocean tides). The phenomena of refraction, diffraction, and dispersion will be considered and related to the “geometric optics” approximation. In the thermodynamics portion, the example of diffusive “Brownian motion” will be used to reveal the fundamentals of kinetic theory and the probabilistic interpretation for many-body problems will be discussed. Finally, temperature, heat, and entropy will be covered in its relation to the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

Physics III Mario Gadea physics	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	6	06	Evening			S 14Spring		Physics is concerned with the basic principles of the universe. It is the foundation on which engineering, technology, and other sciences are based. The science of physics has developed out of the efforts of men and women to explain our physical environment. These efforts have been so successful that the laws of physics now encompass a remarkable variety of phenomena. One of the exciting features of physics is its capacity for predicting how nature will behave in one situation on the basis of experimental data obtained in another situation.This course is the third of a three-quarter comprehensive sequence in general physics. The course will involve a combination of lectures, discussions, and hands-on demonstrations involving the acquisition and analysis of experimental data to be compared with theoretical predictions.We will learn about energy, models, and the process for constructing them. We will study some of Maxwell's development of the unified theory of magnetism, Einstein’s special relativity, and an introduction to particle and waves. This program will complete many of the traditional topics of first-year physics.		Mario Gadea	Mon Wed	Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR	Spring	Spring

Psychology as a Hub Science Mark Hurst psychology Signature Required: Winter Spring	Program	SO–SRSophomore–Senior	8	08	Evening and Weekend		W 14Winter	S 14Spring		Over recent decades, the basic and applied research related to human behavior and cognition has continued to accelerate in terms of quantity and impact, influencing people’s everyday lives as well as myriad fields—economics, political strategy and policy, the world of business, and the legal system. Development of a solid foundation in this far-reaching discipline seems critical to success across life domains (love, work, and leisure) as well as the realms that relate to human endeavor: education, social service, medicine, government, finance, and criminal justice among them. In this program we will explore the essential universalities and diversities of human experience, the intra-personal and interpersonal correlates to suffering and flourishing, and the uses of social power and influence—all of which can enhance both the knowledge and skill base of the individual and bring about change in any setting.Over the course of winter and spring quarters, students will critically examine empirical research in psychology and move toward a working model or theoretical orientation for application in the real world. To assist in this process, they will also draw on personal experience, literature, history, drama and film, and other resources to enliven and enrich their papers, presentations, and projects.We will also Skype each quarter with some of the most prominent scientists in the field after reading their books on topics such as social cognition, influence, attraction, aggression, and group dynamics. Our studies will explore the recent science regarding self-control (which follows decades of failure promoting unsupported notions regarding self-esteem), the therapeutic benefits (both physiological, psychological, and social) of self-disclosure through talking and writing, and the new movement toward a strengths-based model of mental health (positive psychology, well-being theory, and quality of life research).Spring quarter builds on previous material, so the intention is for students to continue through from winter, culminating in a final spring project related to their future studies or professional goals.	psychology, education, health care, criminal justice, political science, management	Mark Hurst	Fri Sat Sun	Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR	Winter	Winter Spring

As the program continues in Winter quarter, we will turn our attention to a time of, roughly, the 12 through the 14 centuries. This was a period that built on the creativity, spirituality, and change of the previous era and took the arts to new heights through creative and cultural fusion. We will study the motivating ideas and issues of the age: the mystical poetic traditions of the Persian empire (present-day Iran and central Asia) and their influence on contemporary poetry; the awe-inspiring forms of Gothic architecture, and the poetry of the Beguine mystics (of present-day Germany). The idea that both mystic and artist were “seers”—seeing beyond the physical into the transcendent and metaphysical—impelled them into visionary realms. We will examine poets such as Rumi and Hafez and other charismatic figures. We will study illuminated manuscripts, mosaics, stained glass, sculpture, and sacred architecture of European and Byzantine Christendom and Islamic empires stretching from Spain to Central Asia. Art workshops will enable students to move from theory to practice. Class time will be divided among the following activities: faculty lectures, art workshops, seminars, writing, films and a possible field trip to a local mosque. This program is preparatory for further study and/or careers in the visual arts, education, museum studies, religion, communication, international relations, history, and writing.

Learn the history behind , experience the true-life story of the shipwreck that inspired Melville’s , and read the horrific tale of incompetence and cannibalism following the wreck of the tall ship , which inspired one of the most famous paintings of an era. Then, set sail on the waters of the Puget Sound/Salish Sea to "learn the ropes" for real on an actual wooden sailing ship. This program is not for the faint of heart but is open to any and all! We will study historical accounts of famed shipwrecks and mutiny and the political, economic, and social contexts in which they took place. The "Age of Sail" constituted the genesis of western ideas about nationalism, globalization and cannibalism, and early European exploration by ship helped create and perpetuate enduring (and all-too-inaccurate) racial narratives that persist to this day. Together, we will debunk the distortions of history; sail the seas of literature, film, music, art, and rhetoric; and explore how the stories, language, and traditions of tall-ship sailors continue to shape the way we understand and describe the world. You won’t have to "walk the plank" before you learn what it means to be "three sheets to the wind" or "have the devil to pay." Above all—and this is guaranteed—no one will be "keel hauled" in the course of this program!Look forward to guest speakers in such areas as music, art, and maritime studies. Texts and films will be accompanied by lectures on historical geographies of globalization, imperialism, and culture, as well as workshops on art and music of the period. Be prepared to learn and/or compose sea shanties and, weather permitting, sing them on the deck of a wooden ship under sail! Book-length readings (and/or excerpts) will include: (Caroline Alexander); (Nathaniel Philbrick); (Jonathan Miles); (Neil Hanson); (Andrew Jampoler); (Caroline Alexander); and others. Film screenings may include: (2011); (1962); (2002); and more. Seminars on readings and films, along with workshops on art, music, history and geography will be complemented by a full-day Saturday field trip aboard a wooden sailing ship in the South Sound, so program participants can experience some of the conditions of life experienced by the sailors whose stories we will learn.A rollicking time will be had by all, and we’ll have salt in our veins by the end of the quarter, for sure!

Social Innovation and Civic Intelligence Douglas Schuler communications community studies computer science education political economy sociology	Program	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	8, 12	08 12	Evening and Weekend	F 13 Fall	W 14Winter	S 14Spring		We are surrounded with problems that aren't going away; problems that cannot be solved by individuals acting alone. At the same time, a variety of powerful barriers often stand in the way of working together successfully. And all too frequently, the institutions that are supposed to help in these matters seem either oppositional or ineffectual.How can we develop and nurture the "civic intelligence" that will help ensure our actions produce the best outcomes? What sorts of creative and, often courageous, actions, events, policies, and institutions are people devising to help meet these challenges? And how can these add up to more widespread and enduring social change? As John Robinson of UBC's Institute for Resources, Environment, and Sustainability stated, "If we can't imagine a better world, we won't get it."Social innovation helps us to create and ponder possible futures. Civic intelligence is an evolving, cross-disciplinary perspective that examines, proposes, initiates, and evaluates collective capacity for the common good. It builds on concepts from sociology and other social sciences but also intersects with most — or all — of the other disciplines including the hard sciences, education, cognitive science, the media, and the humanities. In this three quarter program we will focus our efforts — both reflective and action-oriented — on the theory and practice of social innovation and civic intelligence in which "ordinary" people begin to assume greater power and responsibility for creating a future that is more responsive to the needs of people and the planet. Throughout the program we will gain understanding and skills through collaborative projects, workshops, films, experiments, games, and group processes. All quarters will include theoretical readings and workshops. Spring quarter will also involve student projects with the goal of effecting real-world change.Students will help determine the topics for winter and spring, which may include deliberation, alternative economics, collective memory, cooperation, media, participatory design, inequality, or war and peace.Students registering for 12 credits will be working within CIRAL, the Civic Intelligence Research Action Laboratory, for 4 of their credits. CIRAL is designed to help support ongoing, student-led, collaborative projects. It is intended to foster sustained and engaged relationships with groups, organizations, movements, and institutions. In addition to our regular meetings, these students will meet each Wednesday before class from 4:30 to 6:00.

Sociology of Poverty Wenhong Wang sociology	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	4	04	Evening			S 14Spring		This course will explore poverty in the context of increasing social inequality and use the sociological theories to look at various aspects of poverty and its particularities in the U.S.Questions we will be exploring include: what is poverty? Why is poverty so prevalent? Who are the poor? What are the underlying causes of poverty? Why is poverty a disease of the whole society (not just the poor)? How is poverty manifested in people’s everyday life? Why are certain racial and ethnic groups more likely to fall into poverty? How do economic processes contribute to poverty? What are the goals and purposes of social welfare programs? What are the limits of policy?Using poverty as our subject of inquiry, we will study sociological theories and key concepts and critically examine their applicability in class and poverty related issues. We will explore the intricate and complex relationship between social structure and individuals. Course activities will include lectures, seminar, and workshop, individual and group projects. Students will write seminar essays, self-reflection papers, and carry out a social experiment. This course is complementary to while it can also be taken as a separate course.

Students will come away with invaluable skills in library and archival research practices, visual arts studio practices, laboratory practices, film/media production practices, critical research and writing, and much more. Critical and Creative Practices is comprised of a diverse group of artists, theorists, scientists, mathematicians, writers, filmmakers and other cultural workers whose interdisciplinary fields of study sit at the crossroads between critical theoretical studies and creative engagement. (creative nonfiction) draws from experience and field, archival and library research to write creative essays about experiences and constructions of place, and about cultural practices of embodiment. She also experiments with juxtapositions of diagrams, images and words, including hand-drawn mapping. Students working with Joli will be able to learn their choice of: critical reading approaches to published works (reading as a writer), online and print research and associated information assessment skills, identifying publishing markets for specific pieces of writing, or discussing and responding to creative nonfiction in draft form (workshopping). Joli’s projects underway include a series of essays on place and aging; an essay on physical achievement and ambition; and a visual/word piece exploring the relationship of the local to the global.

Visual art, music, and stories, are as critical to our enterprise as the ability to analyze and theorize about social and environmental issues.Although there are many ways to engage in this research, all work will directly or indirectly support the work of the Civic Intelligence Research and Action Laboratory (CIRAL). These opportunities will generally fall under the heading of "home office" or "field" work. The home office work will generally focus on developing the capacities of the CIRAL lab, including engaging in research, media work, or tech development that will support the community partnerships. The field work component will consist of direct collaboration outside the classroom, often on an ongoing basis. Students working within this learning opportunity will generally work with one or two of the clusters of topics and activities developed by previous and current students. The first content clusters that were developed were (1) CIRAL vs. homelessness; (2) environment and energy; and (3) food. In addition to a general home office focus cluster on institutionalizing CIRAL, another focused on media and online support.We are also hoping to support students who are interested in the development of online support for civic intelligence, particularly CIRAL. This includes the development of ongoing projects such as e-Liberate, a web-based tool that supports online meetings using Roberts Rules of Order, and Activist Mirror, a civic engagement game, as well as the requirements gathering and development of new capabilities for information interchange and collaboration.Normally students taking this option will have worked with Doug Schuler previously or are otherwise familiar with CIRAL and the idea of civic intelligence.

The successful exercise of Intelligence Gathering, Planning/Preparation, and Mission Execution depends on sound decision making, on practical leadership skills, on teamwork, and on the self-discipline that is critical to survival in life-or-death situations. The focus of this course will be on translating the language, context, and framework of your military experience, not only into effective strategies for navigating the often murky institutional and academic waters of higher education, but on beginning the process of discovering meaning in what you have experienced as warriors.The course will challenge you to learn to read with perception and discernment, to write with clarity and precision, to be not just critical thinkers but courageous ones, and to find language that will enable you to articulate what you have discovered to be true. These are habits of mind and practice that are foundational to meaningful learning and we will begin to develop them through a very intentional reflection on your own experiences and on the experiences of others. Those reflections will be guided by films, music, and works of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry augmented by tutorials in academic writing, reading, and research. You can expect to wrestle with the discoveries you make and employ the skills you acquire in formal writing assignments, in a personal journal, in small group work, and in seminar. At the heart of any academic endeavor is the library. Libraries are themselves schools and librarians are in the highest sense teachers. Each library, though, has in place a unique kind of machinery for the use of its collection. A key component of this course, then, will be teaching students to effectively manipulate the levers of the particular TESC machine in the service of your academic aims.

Writing as Thinking Emily Lardner education writing	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	4	04	Evening	F 13 Fall				Writing makes thinking visible to us and to others. In this course, we'll explore how writing and thinking are connected. We will experiment with strategies that make it easier to think in writing, as well as strategies for sharing our thinking with others. We'll do lots of low-stakes practicing, and we will study how writers in different fields present similar ideas. Students will have the opportunity to explore where they feel most at home as writers--the kinds of writing and the kinds of thinking they prefer to do, and what that means in the context of getting a liberal arts education. Writers of all experience levels are welcome.		Emily Lardner	Tue	Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR	Fall	Fall
Writing from Life Nancy Parkes writing Signature Required: Spring	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	4	04	Evening			S 14Spring		This course is designed to help prepare Prior Learning from Experience (PLE) students to write documents that provide evidence of college-level learning from life experience.

Writing Our Future Histories: Creative Writing out of Struggle David Wolach cultural studies political economy writing	Course	FR–SRFreshmen–Senior	4	04	Evening and Weekend		W 14Winter			This course challenges students to write the world that does not yet exist. Or, as poet and theorist of radical black performance Fred Moten does, we will try to engage in writing that "investigates new ways for people to get together and do stuff in the open, in secret." Each week we’ll work individually and collaboratively on writing experiments—prose, poetry, essay—that critique and advance beyond our own assumptions about what is socially possible or probable and that do so by paying careful attention to the rhythms of current crises. As a basis for this creative production, we will engage critically with writers whose work exists at the point where the border between politics and art ruptures. In sound, in sight, and through a kind of "improvisatory ensemble" (as Moten puts it) we will resist what too often gets counted as the inevitable outcome of a political economy that treats people as objects that just happen to speak. What is inevitable about the future, and what is it about controlled acts of creative improvisation that helps us not just "guess at" but hear our future’s past?
