Course considers Victorian visions of the social and subjective causes and consequences of various feelings of rage and reparation. A range of theoretical methods and critical sensibilities are employed to examine how and why anger and its transcendence are, by the lights of the texts we will study, so central to the making and unmaking of the social world.

No one would ever have fallen in love unless he had first read about it, Rochefoucauld once remarked. Love and discourse go hand in hand. But while love is a central theme of Western literature, it remains critically under-theorized; the amorous text, it would seem, is an embarrassing text. This new course recovers love as a subject of serious philosophical consideration. Taking Roland Barthe's A Lover's Discourse as our touchstone, we will investigate how we think and write about different types of love, including platonic love, unrequited love, self love, jealous love, first love, and lost love.

A rethinking of the theories and practices of the novel, the historical genre of modernity, from the vantage point of decolonization and postcolonialism. Working with Gayatri Spivak's claim that the "general mode for the postcolonial is citation, reinscription, rerouting the historical," the course examines the distinctive moments in which metropolitan accounts on the rise and the fall of the novel have been challenged and dislodged by postcolonial writers and intellectuals, and explores how some of the central categories in the novel--desire, subjectivity, and time--have been transformed by postcolonial theory.

This course will consider major statements of feminist thought, beginning with Mary Wollstonecraft and John Stuart Mill and moving quickly into the twentieth century. We will think about what "feminism" has meant at different historical moments, what makes it a radical political ideology, how it changed academic fields like literary study, history, and art history beginning in the 1970s, and what forms feminist scholarship takes now. We will also consider how feminist theory intersects with the study of sexuality, race, and religion.

An expanding human population and the desire of all people for a more prosperous life have placed tremendous demands on the environment. We will explore how human activities have affected land use, agriculture, fisheries, biodiversity, and the use of energy. Our focus is both global and local, highlighting not only fundamental changes in the biosphere, but also the ways in which individual decisions lead to major environmental changes. We explore the fundamental principles underlying contemporary environmental issues, and we use case studies to illustrate the scientific, political, economic, and social dimensions of environmental problems.

This course will focus on environmental consequences of human activities and their interactions with natural systems. Beginning with underlying principles, we will consider the social, political, economic, scientific and technical dimensions of four areas of environmental concern: the atmosphere (atmospheric pollution, its sources and prevention); climate (climate and climate variability; models and public policy); toxics in the environment (pollutants, remediation and solutions); and water resources (watersheds, land use, climate effects, political issues).

Humans are increasingly affecting environmental systems throughout the world. This course uses quantitative analysis to examine three of today's most pressing issues: energy, water, and food. Each issue is examined from perspectives of natural and engineered ecosystems that depend on complex interactions among physical, chemical, and biological processes. The course is an introduction for students in the natural sciences and engineering pursuing an advanced program in environmental studies. We emphasize quantitative analyses with applications to a wide range of systems, and the design of engineered solutions to major environmental problems.

The dynamics of the emergence and spread of disease arise from a complex interplay between disease ecology, economics, and human behavior. Lectures will provide an introduction to complementarities between economic and epidemiological approaches to understanding the emergence, spread, and control of infectious diseases. The course will cover topics such as drug-resistance in bacterial and parasitic infections, individual incentives to vaccinate, the role of information in the transmission of infectious diseases, and the evolution of social norms in healthcare practices.

Americans have built and preserved an astounding variety of environments. The course examines the evolving complex of incentives and regulations that drove the choices of where and how places developed. It focuses on the emergence of land-use and environmental planning as a way to encourage or discourage growth and to mitigate or intensify its environmental, social, and economic effects.We will examine the latest tools for building and protecting the American landscape. Case studies include Southern California, New Haven, the American Great Plains, and others. Analysis will be from historical, policy-oriented, and predictive perspectives.
