  • COLL 280: Third Generation Rights

    3.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    This course will explore third-generation rights, otherwise known as group or communal rights, to a healthy environment through both classroom and community-based learning. As Article 28 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, "everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized." While this is not as yet legally enforceable, many have argued that the right to healthy living conditions-clear air, unpolluted water, non-toxic land-are prerequisite to any enjoyment of civile and political freedoms. We will examine this claim by considering case studies of environmental contamination, analyzing international jurisprudence, and participating in local attempts to achieve eco-justice in Hartford.

  • COLL 319: Studio in Urban & Comm Dev

    3.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    Note: Open to juniors and seniors with social science research experience and a minimum of two urban-related courses. This course will involve field research in the city and neighborhoods of Hartford and its metropolitan region. The focus will be on low income communities where specific ethnic groups, families, or individuals have broken the cycle of poverty and experienced upward social mobility. We will examine national, state and local policies targeted to the urban poor (or with unintended consequences for vulnerable sectors of the population), as well as private sector decisions and public/private partnerships, to assess their impact in reducing inequality, both past and present. Special attention will be given to the effects of civil society, community organizations, and "social capital" in empowering the disenfranchised and transforming the urban condition. Students will be sequentially exposed to various qualitative and quantitative research methods, including participant observation, open-ended interviews, and survey design and implementation. We will work individually, collectively, and in small groups, focusing on practices and policies that overcome poverty and exclusion. Our work will be done in a comparative context with other cities in the U.S. and abroad. Open to juniors and seniors with social science research experience and a minimum of two urban-related courses. 1.00 units, Lecture

  • CPSC 110: Principles of Computation

    1.00 Credits
    Trinity College

    Computers have recently become so powerful that some even believe they will someday exceed human intelligence. However, the underlying basic structure of computers has remained surprisingly simple, and this elegant design is unlikely to change anytime soon. In this course, students will first read a romantic novel that introduces this fundamental concept and the vast world of computer science. Meanwhile, to understand and appreciate basic laws of computation, students will also learn how to program computers elegantly, using the Scheme language in which programs are usually simple functions. Fundamental constructs such as lists, functions and recursion will be covered. This course will thus focus on the simple but beautiful nature of computation, without nonessential technical details. 1.00 units, Lecture
