A capstone of the AFST major is the 6-credit senior project, which may be either a senior internship or senior thesis. Either option provides seniors with an opportunity to reflect upon the larger implications of their course work and, should they desire, to incorporate a service-learning component. A written proposal describing the intended internship must be submitted to the AFST chair for formal approval. If accepted, the student will be assigned a supervisor/advisor and required to write a 30-40 page project summation. The final version of the senior project is due at the end of the term. An oral presentation on the senior project must also be made to the director and advisory committee during the week of final examinations in order to complete degree requirements. Minors may undertake a 3-credit internship with the permission of the chair.

"Jim Crow" laws barred African Americans from access to employment and to public places such as restaurants, hotels, and other facilities. In the South especially, Blacks lived in fear of racially motivated violence. The history of Jim Crow encompassed every part of American life, from politics to education to sports. The emergence of segregation in the South began immediately after the Civil War when the formerly enslaved people acted to establish their own churches and schools separate from whites. Many southern states tried to limit the economic and physical freedom of the formerly enslaved by adopting laws known as Black Codes. In Jim Crow America, we will study the vast literature that encompasses the origination, sustenance, resistance, and eventual defeat of Jim Crow along with the lingering effects of the organized infrastructure of inequality in America.

A variety of approaches to urban geography are explored with the aim of providing a firm foundation for future more-specialized study. The first part of the course is concerned with an understanding of characteristic urban forms during a variety of time periods. This leads into a consideration of the urban geography of Dublin as it developed through time and the degree to which it fits the models explored earlier. The second part of the course concentrates on the contemporary city. We explain the patterns of landuse, concentrating on residential landuses, and the processes that control them. This leads into a final consideration of some contemporary urban problems.
