In this writing seminar, we investigate the work of remembering and interpreting the African-American civil rights movement of the mid-twentieth century. We focus on the meaning and use of nonviolent protest as well as the relative importance of the federal government and grassroots activism. As we investigate these topics, we consider the kinds of evidence scholars draw on to construct their interpretations, including speeches by prominent leaders, newspaper accounts, oral histories, memoirs, and government documents.

This course explores the meaning and function of Gothic literature, a genre characterized by secrecy, perversion, madness, and death. In our first unit, short stories-of various centuries and nations-will allow us to develop a working definition of Gothic. In unit two we'll interpret Jane Austen's Gothic spoof Northanger Abbey in the context of both popular fiction and eighteenth-century debates about reading. The third unit introduces research methods that focus on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.

How does fiction represent cross-cultural encounters between Eurocentric and non-Eurocentric worlds? In what ways do the specific social and political circumstances under which these contacts occur influence the nature of the cross-cultural encounters? Do issues of power, class, and gender function differently in cross-cultural environments for the racial groups involved than they would within a single culture? In exploring literature about three kinds of cross-cultural encounters-transient, colonial/postcolonial, and immigrant-we'll pose such resonant questions.

To learn about human biology and behavior, researchers often use people as research subjects. Although such research has produced many social benefits, it sometimes comes at a cost to study participants. In this course, you will weigh the costs and benefits of a controversial psychological study, take a psychological approach to understanding why unethical research practices occur, and consider how research can be done to maximize its impact while minimizing the risks to human participants.
