This course is the last of the three courses comprising the capstone of the Law and Society Program that generally seek to foster propensities toward experiential and life-long learning. It is the culmination of one's study in Law and Society. It is only open to Law and Society majors--specifically juniors and seniors who intend to graduate in three semesters or less. In this course students will write their Law and Society theses that will incorporate the perspectives and methodologies that they have studied throughout the program. This thesis is a major undertaking (of at least 40 pages in length) that critically examines an issue that has been chosen by the student with the help of her mentor. The thesis will become the final piece of a student's portfolio in Law and Society. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Social Science & Human Srv College Law and Society Department

This course explores the way in which the United States, throughout its history, has dealt with the internal challenges of reconciling its mostly British origins with an increasingly multicultural population. It emphasizes the tensions and accommodations between aspects of the dominant culture and new ethnic groups and ideas, with a particular emphasis on the "voices" of those outside the mainstream. The course integrates history, literature and law to examine the following themes: (a) the way the nation has been affected by the immigration of groups believed at the time to be inassimilable, from Africans to Catholics to Asians; (b) the political and social forces which have acted to hold the nation together despite the diverse nature of its peoples; and (c) how these forces are affecting contemporary American society. 0.000 TO 3.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Schedule Types: Seminar Graduate Liberal Studies College Liberal Studies Department Course Attributes: MLS COURSE FOR GRAD FEE ASSESS

This course examines the remarkable encounters between European and non-European civilizations, with a focus on the "discovery" and conquest of the Americas. We will study documents written by key participants such as Columbus and Cortes, and western classics from that period, such as More's UTOPIA and Shakespeare's THE TEMPEST. These texts provide insight into the romanticized construction of an identity for "other" peoples, but provide little access into their actual cultures and visions; Shakespeare's "savage", Caliban, when given language, uses it only to curse. To add cross-cultural perspectives, we will read writings from "conquered" peoples in America and elsewhere. In summary, the course explores the momentous cultural, historical, and ecological consequences of these civilizational encounters. 0.000 TO 3.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Schedule Types: Seminar Graduate Liberal Studies College Liberal Studies Department Course Attributes: MLS COURSE FOR GRAD FEE ASSESS

Every group throughout history has confronted basic issues about the human condition in a quest to define what is ultimately important. Within the context of change and impermanence, peoples have dealt with such issues as the meaning of self, freedom, and love; the definition of insider and outsider; the relationship of the individual to the collective; and the search for meaning. This final Core course integrates material from the other courses into the developmental issue of self-knowledge, in which the process of self-reflection will be used to enhance intellectual enlightenment. Autobiographical journals, cultural comparison, films, music, theater, and traditional readings will be the means to this end. Students will appraise their own personal histories by listening to the voices of women, African Americans, children, gays, the privileged, and the deprived. 0.000 TO 3.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Schedule Types: Seminar Graduate Liberal Studies College Liberal Studies Department Course Attributes: MLS COURSE FOR GRAD FEE ASSESS

After World War II, American society, influenced by philosophical and psychological theories of liberty and self, wrestled with its new preeminence within the community of nations. Relatively soon, it had to consider first, increasing competition from Europe and Japan, then the collapse of the Soviet Union, and finally, the ascendancy of global economic agreements on investment and trade. Within the United States, internal conflict over racial equality (the Civil Rights Movement), foreign intervention (anti-war protests over Vietnam and Central America), gender equality (the Feminist movement), religious and family values, and a sustainable environment served to broaden conceptions of national and cultural loyalties. Students will be invited to link the internal conflicts with the larger, global structural changes, some consequences of which are escalating social class and ethnic strife. We will explore how modern America is affected by the increasing interdependence of nations and the consequent interactions of their cultures. A last objective will be to attempt to shape a vision about the appropriate future role of the United States in a world of changing economic, political, and socio-cultural forces. 0.000 TO 3.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Schedule Types: Seminar Graduate Liberal Studies College Liberal Studies Department Course Attributes: MLS COURSE FOR GRAD FEE ASSESS
