PQ: Knowledge of Persian or consent of instructor. This course surveys the major women poets of the pre-modern and modern Persian literary tradition, including Rabe'a, Mahsati, Tahera Qorrat al-'Ayn, Zhale h Qa' em-maqami, Parvin E'tesami, Forugh Farrokhzad, and Simin Behbahani. The depictions of women in Persian poetry and the feminine voice as represented in the work of these poets are considered vis-Ã -vis the representation of women in some other poets (e.g., Ferdowsi, Rumi, Nez ami, Sa 'di, Obayd-e Zakani, Iraj Mirza).

PQ: HEBR 20503, HEBR 20603, or equivalent. Although this course assumes that students have full mastery of the grammatical and lexical content at the intermediate level, there is a shift from a reliance on the cognitive approach to an emphasis on the expansion of various grammatical and vocabulary-related subjects. After being introduced to sophisticated and more complex syntactic constructions, students learn how to transform simple sentences into more complicated ones. The exercises address the creative efforts of students, and the reading segments are longer and more challenging in both style and content. The language of the texts reflects the literary written medium rather than the more informal spoken style, which often dominates the introductory and intermediate texts. A. Finkelstein. Autumn, Winter, Spring.

PQ: BIOS 10110 or 10130. This course emphasizes basic scientific understanding of ecological principles that relate most closely to the ways humans interact with their environments. It includes lectures on the main environmental pressures, notably human population growth, disease, pollution, climate change, habitat destruction, and harvesting. We emphasize the ongoing impacts on the natural world, particularly causes of population regulation and extinction and how they might feed back on to humans. Discussion required. T. Price. Spring.
