Hussey Intended for the serious directing student, this course will focus on seeing, analyzing and critiquing the work of the director. Significant attention will be paid to the collaboration between directors, designers, and actors. The pragmatic aspects of mounting a production will be analyzed using the performances attended by the class as raw material for discussions. Students will attend five productions paid for by theatre studies; one in New York and four in Boston.

Creef (Women's and Gender Studies) Some have argued that Elvis Presley was the greatest cultural force in twentieth-century America. This course will consider the early ca-reer of Elvis Presley as a unique window for the study of race, class, gender, and heteronormative sexuality in postwar popular American culture. Specifically, we will look at the blending of African-American and other forms of musical styles in Presley's music, the representa-tion of masculinity and sexuality across a sampling of his films and television performances, at key cultural film texts from the 1950s, and end with evaluating Presley's lasting impact as a unique icon in American cultural histor y. Prerequisite: Open only to first-year students. Distribution: Arts, Music, Theatre, Film and Video Semester: Fall Unit: 1.

Hertz American families are undergoing dramatic changes in social, political, and economic arenas: the rise of the dual-worker family, the in-creasing number of single mothers, the demands of family rights by gay and lesbian families, and the growing numbers of couples having children at older ages. The new economy poses real challenges for American parents as the social and economic gaps between families continues. As women dedicate a greater proportion of their time to the workplace, more children are cared for outside the home. How do children view parents' employment How do families function when they have only limited hours together What does fatherhood mean in these families Using a provocative blend of social science, novels, and memoirs, we will examine how gender, race, ethnicity, and social class shape the experience of family life in the contemporary United States. Students may register for either SOC 205 or WGST 211 and credit will be granted accordingly. Prerequisite: None. Not open to students who have taken [WoST 211]. Distribution: Social and Behavioral Analysis Semester: Fall, Spring Unit: 1.0

Mata (Women's and Gender Studies) The history of Chicanas and Latinas on the big screen is a long and complicated one. To understand the changes that have occurred in the representation of Chicanas/Latinas, this course proposes an analysis of films that traces various stereotypes and looks at how those images have been perpetuated, altered, and ultimately resisted. From the Anglicizing of names to the erasure of racial backgrounds, the ways in which Chicanas and Latinas are represented has been contingent on ideologies of race, gender, class and sexuality. We will be examining how films have typecast Chicanas/Latinas as criminals or as exotic based on their status as women of color, and how Chica-no/Latino filmmakers continue the practice of casting Chicanas/Latinas only as support characters to the male protagonists. Students may register for either CAMS 240 or WGST 223 and credit will be granted accordingly. Prerequisite: None. Not open to students who have previously taken [WOST 223]. Distribution: Arts, Music, Theatre, Film, Video Semester: Fall Unit: 1.0
