ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 250: Human Impact on South American Environments
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
This course explores the impact human cultures have had on environments in Ecuador and Peru. In prehistory, intensive agriculture was practiced widely, not only to change the environment but also to take advantage of natural variations in the environment. More recently, deforestation and modern agricultural practices have been extremely destructive to rainforests and other environments. In addition to considering the environmental problems, students consider solutions and reasons for optimism. The course can be considered to cover three different areas, although all are interrelated: deforestation, agriculture, and ecotourism. (Bowyer, Ecuador Program)

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 251: Geological and Environmental Issues of South America
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
The different geological and environmental issues that affect South America are numerous. The coastline of western South America lies on a convergent plate margin, resulting in the Andes Mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes. The Galapagos Islands are hotspots, formed by the movement of the Earth's plates. Thus, the basics behind plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, and hotspots, as well as the environmental effects, are discussed and examples are visited firsthand. Other important environmental issues such as microclimates, El Ni o, farming practices/sustainability (previous and current) and the effects of/on ancient civilizations in the area as well as the ongoing rainforest destruction are also covered.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 300: Senior Integrative Experience
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
The senior integrative experience (SIE) involves a multidisciplinary project or seminar, independent study, or an off-campus internship. Ideally an internship should have both an academic and an experiential component. Students must register for ENV 300 during their senior year even if they are fulfilling this requirement by completing an independent study. A student should discuss the SIE project with his or her adviser, as well as with the faculty member supervising the work if other than the student's adviser. Completion of the senior integrative experience requires preparation of a substantial paper demonstrating integration of all three perspectives of study, and a public presentation at a brown bag seminar. (Staff, offered each semester)

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 301: Group Senior Integrative Experience
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
The group senior integrative experience (SIE) involves a multidisciplinary project or seminar. It enables a group of ES seniors to investigate an interdisciplinary topic of environmental interest with a focus on the local HWS and Geneva community. The topic is selected at the beginning of the semester and students work both independently and in groups toward the completion of an overall class goal. Completion of the group senior integrative experience requires preparation of a substantial individual paper demonstrating the student's project focus as well as the integration of their work with the others within the class, and a public (group or individual) presentation at a brown bag seminar. (Staff, Fall, offered annually)

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) modeling capabilities have been used to inform and support decision making in the management of watersheds and parks, in the design of emergency evacuation plans, among others. Advanced GIS will cover a wide range of modeling applications using rasters, including watershed drainage analysis, ecological corridors and least cost path analysis. Students will also be introduced to analytical tools such as spatial data interpolation techniques, point pattern and density analysis, and error assessment. Hands-on experience will be provided through weekly labs and final project. (Arima, offered annually)

EUROPEAN STUDIES 101: Foundations of European Studies I:Antiquity to Renaissance

FIRST YEAR SEMINARS 010: Bicultural America
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
Biculturalism looms large in America. Given the enormous immigration of people from all corners of the world and the recent strengthening of ethnic identities, many Americans now live bicultural lives. At the same time, mono-cultural individuals are forced to rethink their own concepts of American society, as they live, work, and marry with bicultural partners. In this course, students explore the personal experience of biculturalism through several in-depth cases from biography and literature. Social scientific analysis also helps students to understand all that it means to live "facing two ways." (Dillon)

FIRST YEAR SEMINARS 017: Multiple Reality:The Unconscious in Myth,Literature,and Art
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
Death, dreams, desire and the workings of chance: in this course students explore the use of the aesthetic image to delve into these dimensions of reality usually out of reach to our waking consciousness. Against a theoretical background that draws from anthropological, psychoanalytic, linguistic and aesthetic sources, the journey begins with tales from antiquity, passes through the imagistic thinking of pre-scientific Renaissance physics and cosmology, and arrives at two main artistic movements of the 20th century: surrealism (its genesis in France and its development as an international movement) and magic realism (as developed mainly in Latin America in the last few decades). Students reflect on various images from these diverse sources and media (painting, literature, cinema) while analyzing their power to reveal multiple levels of experience. Along with a number of written assignments, the course requires a multimedia computer project. (Paiewonsky-Conde)

FIRST YEAR SEMINARS 018: Genocide and the Modern Age
3.00 Credits
Hobart William Smith Colleges
The 20th century can aptly be described as the "Age of Genocide"-a century in which mass murder and mass death marked the convergence of modern organization, modern technology and human propensities for violence and indifference to violence. Students in this course examine the history of genocide and its impact on culture, politics and religion. (Salter
