This course will explore behavior disorders of children and adolescents from the perspectives of the fields of psychology and education. Students will study various disorders and their associated behavioral patterns, causes, sustaining factors, and treatment. Historically, there has been little collaboration and cooperation between education and psychology regarding understanding and treating these troubled youth. The intent of this course is to create a dialogue between these disciplines. Typically education has focused on the immediate, external, concrete solutions to these problems whereas psychology has taken a more abstract, holistic, and internal approach. Our goal in this course is to present a balanced perspective which incorporates the most beneficial theories of etiology and treatment for each discipline. CORE-III.

This course examines the language of political and literary texts in order to define the terms "politics" and "literature" aunderstand the relationship between them. Students will compare/contrast political and literary texts in terms of intention, use of narrative and metaphor, and effect, analyzing the politics in literature and the literature in political texts. Several questions fuel the course, including: How does the same text incite diverse readings at one historical moment? How do texts evolve through time? What elements give a text power? Can texts change the course of history? What are the factors that can interfere with diverse readings? Is every text political? Students will formulate their answers through discussions and written work and will become stronger readers through close reading, interpretation, and analysis. CORE-III.
