3.00 Credits
This class will explore the sonnet's many voices and subjects-from plaintive lover to furious daughter, from sexual betrayal to racial injustice to the shooting of a rattlesnake and even the purchase of a "Sleep Number" bed. We will read examples from across the centuries, including some by Shakespeare and Keats, as well as some by those not anointed as Great Poets, such as Emma Lazarus and Edna St. Vincent Millay. We will also read many sonnets, sonnet-variations, and sonnet-spoofs by contemporary American poets. We will experiment with bout rime, sonnets of our own, and an occasional in-class sonnet contest. Our time will be on close readings, discussions, writing, and informal presentations.

3.00 Credits
An intensive summer course that runs for ten days over three weeks and provides a concentrated exploration of how we read, see, and inhabit issues of race and gender. Grounded in a conceptual framework that opens to against-the-grain logics, this course aims to engage students in re-reading relations of race and gender naturalized by dominant ideology using novels, short stories, poems, essays, and theory. Students will participate in workshops, lectures and sessions with invited speakers.

3.00 Credits
Chicago has been at the bottom of the sea, buried under a mile of ice, and set in a warm, tropical paradise. Such diverse changes have shaped Chicago and the surrounding region, inluding the lake, the rivers, the ground we walk on (and build on), and the decisions we make about land use, resources, and waste management. Explore Chicago Rocks - as well as water, weather, and land forms - in the context of current issues related to resource use and the environment. Field trips and hands-on experiences highlight the extent to which geology influences the character of the Chicago area.
-
3.00 Credits
Chicago's vital bodies of water - Lake Michigan, Chicago River, and others - interact with the urban landscape and the soils and rocks of the ground beneath us. These interactions influence environmental issues in our everyday lives, including "what happens when water goes down the drain?" and "Why do certain areas flood after it rains?" Explore these questions in the context of Chicago's geology, to evaluate the critical interactions affecting soil and water contamination, flooding, and our drinking water. Laboratory analysis of water and soil, collected on local field trips, will clear the 'muddy water' about how environmental geology impacts your neighborhood.
