  • SW 204: Urban Growth Around The Globe

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    "The earth sustains various kids of organisms, including those created for and by humans. Cities, their growth and decline, provide us with a rich source of information about history, society, population, and ecology. In short, the study of cities tells us who we are, where we have been, and where we are likely to go next. As we in the United States work to develop a global perspective, we need to include the assessment of city evolution across the world. Given our dependence upon global sources of energy and our position as world political leader, we need to be consciously aware of how cities across the world influence and are influenced by US economy and values. This course will analyze the interrelationships among population, the environment, and economics. Past, current, and potential future policies relative to these issues will be evaluated. Competences: H5, FX, S2X, S3X. Faculty: Mark Enenbach"

  • SW 206: Nutrition/ Biological Develpmnt

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    Today's consumers want and need to be educated about taking charge of their own health. With the current fact-pace world that has spilled over into our eating habits, food choices have become unlimited. Choosing a healthful approach to diet requires basic information about our body's nutritional needs. The greater our understanding of our basic bodily needs, the better able we are to make choices concerning our health. This course will offer an overview of the basic science of nutrition, with an emphasis on the relationship between disease and nutrition, and current research findings. Competencies: S2A, S2C, S2D, S3B, S4. Faculty: Patricia Stifter

  • SW 207: Public Health Issues in Africa

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    Public health issues have an impact on any ministry that a student might serve in. This course will build students capacities to understand the scientific information that explains public health issues such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and other infectious diseases. They will learn about health care practices and strategies that can be used to address public health issues, especially in the ministries that they will work in. They will examine cultural and gender dimensions of public health issues. Through this course, therefore, students will develop and demonstrate their competence to describe, categorize, and analyze the interactions and exchanges between living organisms and their physical environments and to assess health care practices based on an understanding of the biological and social factors that contribute to definitions of health. Competences: S2D, S3B.

  • SW 208: Issues in Science And Religion

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    This course develops students understandings of the scientific and religious constructions of self in the modern world (natural and social). The institutions and bodies of knowledge comprising science, religion, and their overlap are critically analyzed. Key historic debates are examined, for example: the Vatican s trial of Galileo for his teachings of a heliocentric universe; the controversial reception of Darwin s theory of evolution; and the 2001 U.S. policy on embryonic stem cell research. Through such analyses, the course develops students skills in making ethically-informed decisions and thus recognizing their roles in the public debates involving the intersection of science and religion. Competencies: S3D, H1F, A3X, S2X. Faculty: Donald Opitz

  • SW 209: Biodiversity

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    The study of biological diversity, which is the measurement of the amount of genetic, species and ecological variation on earth, is emerging as one of science's and society's most important and urgent endeavors. Scientific efforts to study biodiversity have intensified because of our growing appreciation of the pivotal roles human population growth and urbanization play in accelerating the extinction of plant and animal species through the destruction of critical habitats. In this course, we will examine the central questions: How is the security of humanity dependent on the perpetuation of biological diversity Do we have an obligation to future generations to keep life on the planet as diverse as possible Since life on earth has been evolving and diversifying for at least 3.8 billion years and most of the diversity that once existed (as much as 99%) has been lost to extinction processes, we will focus on the character and causes of earth's past biodiversity crises in order to critically assess the severity of the current "biodiversity crisis." Students will be introduced to major biodiversity issues through discussions, readings, lectures, labs, field trips, and original inquiry. Subjects will include: the ways different cultures view the biosphere, biodiversity measurements and monitoring, biodiversity trends in earth's geologic past, the value of and human dependence on biodiversity, global and regional biodiversity currently at risk, policies to protect biodiversity ("the regulation of extinction"), the role of science and technology in preserving biodiversity, restoration ecology and ecological economics. Students will develop a detailed research paper, adhering to a scientific reasoning format, on a biodiversity issue of their choice. Competences: S1B, S2D, S3C, S4 . Faculty: Kevin Downing

    Dealing with change has become essential for all of us, in our private lives and in our organizations and businesses. For some people, change is a stimulating adventure. For others, it is painful anxiety-provoking. Yet the reality of today's business world is that no one can avoid change. The implementation of information technology in the workplace result in complex changes and poses difficult challenges for supervisors and employees. In this course, we will examine issues regarding the individual and social aspects of implementing information technology in work and community. We will explore questions of access to and control of information technology, and concerns for individual privacy. The students will be exposed to a variety of conceptual frameworks and perspective that they may use for interpreting problems and managing change related to integrating computer technology into social systems of work. We will explore each framework or perspective by applying it to case studies. We will reflect on the effectiveness and shortcomings of each interpretive perspective.
