In this course, designed to meet late in the evening, we will read and have seminar discussions about several of the core texts used in introducing students to the Classics—Homer's Iliad and Sophocles' Antigone . We will also read portions of Suetonius' The Twelve Caesars as an introduction to Roman history and political biography, and will watch several films. Students will be expected to come prepared to each seminar and will write one short essay.

Drawing from the traditions of ancient meditation masters, researchers in the fields of health and psychology have proven the effectiveness of mindfulness meditation as a clinical application to treat conditions such as stress and pain, addictions, major depression, anxiety, hypertension and other health conditions. This course will explore the ancient roots of cognitive therapy and its development as a modern clinical therapy model in comparison with the theories and practices of existing Western cognitive therapy. The primary focus of this course will be on the clinical application of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy personally and in the helping professions.

This two-credit course is designed for future Resident Assistants (RAs), community leaders, and those in student affairs or social services. We will explore issues pertinent to building a successful residential community on Evergreen's campus. A variety of campus staff and faculty will facilitate seminars with participants on the organization of Evergreen, diversity, community development, Evergreens judicial system, leadership, and alcohol/drug use/abuse. Together we will develop and support the promotion of a healthy living environment for campus residents. Evergreen Housing RAs for the 2006-07 academic year will be selected before spring break from the pool of class participants.

This course will look at the relationship between gender and communication in both public and private spheres. We will analyze the social construction of gendered talk in interpersonal relationships, in the workplace, in education, and in the media. We will look at feminist rhetorical theories and at intersections between gender hierarchies and other forms of social oppression. Students will practice interpersonal and public speaking skills with the goal of improving male/female interactions and becoming more effective speakers and listeners.

Four planet earths would be needed to provide an American standard of living to the entire world. Export of the American lifestyle is a prime corporate goal and, increasingly, developing nations are becoming erstwhile importers. What drives our desire to buy new things? Do these things bring us deep satisfaction as individuals or in community? What are the environmental consequences of ever-growing consumerism? What alternatives exist to the consumer-driven economy? We will examine the historical roots of consumer culture, the impact it has had in the United States, and its environmental, cultural and economic effects. This is an all-level course that would be beneficial for students interested in environmental studies, sociology, and/or psychology.

Using interdisciplinary sources, we will study a series of "hot" topics related to work in the United States and the operation of U.S. capital: 1) Why do sweatshops exist and what can be done to end them? 2) What changes are essential to build a real labor movement? 3) Why do governmental "job-creation" policies fail? How can we end unemployment and guarantee decent jobs? 4) What should we do to cure racial inequality in the division of labor? 5) Does women's equality in the workplace depend on application of theories such as "comparable worth" or is this "staggeringly pernicious law"? Short essays, oral presentations and a research project will be required.

For beginning, continuing and returning students, this class will reawaken the joy, adventure and wonder of learning.
