In recent decades the relationship between English-speaking Canada and the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec has been a troubled one. In a referendum held in Quebec in 1995 nearly one-half of the voters opted for the creation of a sovereign Quebec nation state. The current Québec government remains committed to bringing about sovereignty and another referendum looms on the horizon. It is the purpose of this course to examine the relationship between Quebec and the rest of Canada and to explain the continued popularity of the sovereigntist option. The course will introduce students to the social science literature on nationalism in general and Quebec separatist nationalism in particular. It will illuminate the historical background for the current crisis in Quebec-Canada relations and trace recent attempts to bring the crisis to a solution. Prerequisite: None Fees: None

The Civil Rights Movement of the early ‘60s, one of the most remarkable grassroots movements of the 20th century, did not begin with the single brave act of one woman, Rosa Parks, nor can its direction and success be credited to one talented man, Martin Luther King, Jr. It took thousands of leaders, ordinary citizens, strategizing, organizing and acting together to transform American society. This course will begin with an introduction to leadership theory and skills, particularly organization, conflict resolution, negotiation, and decision-making, and will then apply these theories and skills in an examination of the leadership styles, challenges, setbacks, and successes of some of the lesser-known as well as famous leaders of the movement’s marches, demonstrations, freedom rides, and negotiations. Particular attention will be paid to important decision-making moments in the struggle. Students will work individually and in small groups on written research projects and presentations. In addition to regular class meetings, students should also expect to participate in 3 or 4 events on campus or field trips related to the course. These activities are likely to be scheduled in the evenings. (Satisfies one intercultural requirement.) Prerequisites: None: Fees: $35 for field trips.
