3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester. "Whoever holds the piazza is master of the city," writes the Florentine chronicler Giovanni Cavalcanti. The master of the city was no neutered subject; Cavalcanti's remarks demonstrate how urban geographies were in fact gendered in the early modern period. Whereas men occupied the piazza and its public architecture, women were ensconced within the folds of the private interior. This course will explore the representations of space in visual and textual culture to reveal how the spatial relations of the Renaissance city articulated the power and social controls delineating the contours of community. Included in our discussion will be the art of Botticelli and Titian; the architecture of prostitutes, patricians, and nuns; and contemporary treatises by Alberti. Prerequisite: two art history courses at the 300 level. Conference.

Full course for one semester. It could be argued that in the broadest sense the modern conception of the aesthetic is predicated on a degree of fictiveness, that is to say, the acknowledgment that the work of art stands somewhere outside the realm of everyday experience. Yet throughout the history of modernism, and in particular the history of late-20th-century art, artists have repeatedly and productively blurred this boundary. This course will attempt to chart the various ways works of art have engaged with external reality, as both literal documents and imaginative artifacts, in an effort to construct an innovative paradigm for understanding modern and contemporary artistic practice. Assigned readings will emphasize theoretical approaches to the subject, to which students will bring relevant case studies to serve as examples and challenges to the models provided in the assigned texts. Prerequisite: two art history courses at the 300 level. Not offered 2009-10.

3.00 Credits
Full course for one year.

3.00 Credits
One-half or full course for one semester. Independent courses are usually offered only to students already admitted to the division as art majors. Such courses cannot be used to satisfy the basic course requirements of the department. Prerequisite: approval of instructor and division.
-
3.00 Credits
Full course for one semester each, taught by several staff members. The course furnishes an understanding of biological principles and the properties of life. Among topics considered are structure and function of plants and animals, relations of organisms to each other and to their environment, energy relations of organisms, integrative and coordinating mechanisms of organisms, cell biology principles, genetics, molecular biology, reproduction, development and growth, and the evidence for organic evolution. The laboratory deals with the descriptive and experimental aspects of the topics covered in the lectures. Lecture-laboratory.

3.00 Credits
One-half course for one semester. An exploration of the principles underlying the distribution and abundance of plants in the Pacific Northwest. Topics include the structure and basic ecological features of communities, adaptation of organisms to their abiotic and biotic environments, symbiotic relationships, succession, endemism, and biogeography. These concepts will be developed to address current environmental problems such as resource extraction, climate change, invasive species, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. Prerequisites: Biology 101/102. Lecture-conference. Not offered 2009-10.
-
3.00 Credits
One-half course for one semester. An examination of the morphology, development, and evolution of invertebrate phyla that originated during the Cambrian Period some 540 million years ago. Lectures will emphasize structure and development of extant taxa so that students become familiar with the characteristics of the phyla. Conferences will focus on morphology and evolutionary relationships as revealed by the fossil record. Prerequisite: Biology 101/102. Lecture-conference. Not offered 2009-10.
-
3.00 Credits
One-half course for one semester. The nature and function of genes and genomes, using human case studies. Readings will include classic and modern examples from the primary literature to illustrate fundamental genetic approaches and concepts. Consent of instructor is required for students who have completed related 300-level coursework. Prerequisite: Biology 101/102. Lecture-conference.
-
3.00 Credits
One-half course for one semester. A survey of how molecular genetic tools are used to investigate ecological processes in natural populations of plant and animal species. Specific topics include methods for studying genetic variation at the protein and DNA levels, quantitative predictions from ecological and evolutionary theory, and application of molecular genetic markers to research questions related to natural selection, gene flow, genetic drift, and nonrandom mating. Conferences will be student-led and based on the primary literature. Prerequisites: Biology 101/102. Consent of the instructor is required for students who have completed related 300-level coursework. Lecture-conference. Not offered 2009-10.
