  • SW 260 DE: Coding Human Behavior

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    This course targets the link between the physical environment and social behavior. Every physical space is also a social space; its organization contains a "code" of responsive behavior for people to understand. We focus on these "codes," and examine the ways they provoke conformity and deviance from individuals and groups. Students are expected to enter the social environment and gather publicly-observable data for analysis in the classroom setting. The ethics of social research, and of an observer's interaction with the environment, are key points of inquiry during the quarter. Students in this course work at a "pre-ethnography" level, and are primed by its conclusion to enter and analyze any social group and its physical surround. Competencies: A4, L7, H2X, S2D, FX.

  • SW 263: City: Writing Urban Landscape

    4.00 Credits
    DePaul University

    "In the 200-year-old tradition of American Nature Writing, its practitioners--from John Muir to Thoreau to Edward Abbey--have been indifferent if not openly hostile to cities. The nature essay has tended to focus on the writer's experience of landscapes where people are not normally resident: deserts, mountains, the deep forests. This focus suggests that nature is out there, and that to feel a part of it, we must leave where we live and go visit it. In this nonfiction writing course, students use the conventional essay to offer an alternative possibility: that we inhabit nature wherever we live, including cities, and that the intersection of nature and culture in urban environments is an important subject for analysis and exposition. To prepare themselves to write their own nature essays, students will read along the extraordinary canon of American nature writing; become familiar with the natural history of their own local environments; keep an urban nature journal; and familiarize themselves with current readings in environmental philosophy and ecopsychology. The College Writing course or its equivalent is a pre-requisite for this course. Pre- 1999 Competencies: AL-1, PW-E, PW-I. BA 1999 Competencies: A-1-A, S-1-B, S-1-X."
