HONR 120BCommunity and Identity: Solidarity & Difference4

The United States is growing more diverse year by year and seemingly more divided as well. What does solidarity look like in a profoundly diverse and deeply divided society? How can people work together for social justice together with members of different identity groups? In this course, students will examine gender, race, ethnicity and class in the United States as forces that shape individual and group identities in ways that both unite and divide us. Students will learn to think critically about their own gendered, racial, ethnic and class identities; understand the social and cultural factors that shape and contribute to each of these identities; examine case studies of inter-group efforts to create justice; and gain experience with resources to foster meaningful solidarity practices that can help to bring about social change. Restrictions: Enrollment limited to students with the 2024-2025 Registration Cohort attribute.

HONR 120CCommunity and Identity: Midnimo in Minnesota4

What challenges arise when new arrivals make a community more diverse? What strategies can help a historically homogenous community welcome racial and religious diversity? In this course, we will not just study the challenges to integrating newcomers, we will take a collaborative leadership approach that directly serves needs identified by our Somali-American neighbors. Midnimo is Somali for unity. We will ask if our region can have Midnimo, a unity that transcends racial, cultural, and religious differences. Students will read texts on the experiences of Somali-Americans in our region as well as scholarship on the relationship between community membership and identity. Through these texts, students will explore the processes that shape gender and racial constructions and identify how those processes shape the ways Somali refugees navigate resettlement in Minnesota.

HONR 120ECommunity and Identity: Narrative Identities4

Women, men, and aliens. This sounds more like a reality tv show than a college class, but in fact, it is a popular culture course that offers students a way to explore their personal identities. Through the critical examination of novels, short stories, and movies, students will be asked to think about their own gendered, racial, and ethnic identities. This discussion-based class will also push students to examine the influence of society and culture on identity.

HONR 120FPsychology of Gender4

In this course, we will examine psychological research and practice through the lens of gender. We will explore gender as a psychological and social construct that influences our experiences in a number of contexts. The course will address how gender, as a social identity, relates to privilege, oppression, and emotional well-being. Sample topics include: gender roles, stereotypes, gender socialization, and gender inequality. Moreover, we will take an intersectional perspective, attending to the complex ways that gender combines with race and other social identities. As we engage with a broad survey of scholarship on the psychology of gender, we will grapple with controversial issues confronting the field of psychology and consider both personal and professional applications. The course will introduce students to a process and value- based, collaborative theory of leadership directed at improving local communities, a feature of all HONR 120 courses.

HONR 120IAdulting and Identity4

College is a transformative time when students navigate academic and social pressures while defining themselves apart from childhood expectations. This course addresses key challenges students face, such as managing societal expectations, difficult conversations, self-advocacy, and civic engagement, with a focus on how gender, race and ethnicity, and other intersectional identities shape these experiences. It explores how students’ identities and actions are influenced by their community and how they, in turn, impact that community. By examining personal and collective experiences both on campus and nationally, the course provides a space for meaningful discussions on the everyday issues students encounter. The specific topics and examples discussed in the course will likely change from semester to semester due to relevance and changing times, but will always focus on issues related to identity formation, race, ethnicity, culture/cultural appropriation, gender/gender identity/sexuality, ability, equity, mental health, misinformation, conflict management, stereotyping, cultural and societal expectations, and more.

HONR 120JJapanese Women Writers4

This course introduces novels, short stories, manga, and films written by Japanese and Japanese-American woman writers and filmmakers since the 1970s. We read texts that explore questions of identity related to gender, race, and ethnicity in a comparative context, from the incarceration of Japanese-Americans during World War II to the rethinking of female icons of Japanese mythology and folklore, as well as what it means to be alienated in what is supposed to one’s “homeland” and being insufficiently fluent in one’s “mother tongue.” With texts set in the United States, Japan, and Europe, this course aims to demonstrate the relevance of great literature and film by Japanese women to questions at the heart of an intersectional analysis of gender, race, and ethnicity.

HONR 120MFood & Culture4

Food and Culture examines how food functions in society and culture beyond the mere provision of nutrients. How do people use food to establish and communicate their individual, group, and social identity? How does food security contribute to social and cultural development? How do factors, including gender and ethnicity, influence food choices, food preferences, and views on health and wellness? These questions, and more, will be critically examined through reading, personal essays, and a group project that examines the foodways of a specific culture or ethnic group.

HONR 203APropaganda, Art, and Action4

The philosopher Gaile Pohlhaus describes propaganda as “rhetoric that is intended to move its audience directly to action, bypassing the capacity to deliberate.” This course explores how propaganda functions in the contemporary United States, with a focus on its connections to power, language, and community. In this course, we will ask: What is propaganda and how is it related to truth? What is the relationship between propaganda and art? Is propaganda always bad? How is it used by those already in power to maintain support for the status quo? How has the internet and social media contributed to the manipulation of public opinion? How can we recognize when we are being manipulated or lied to? How does propaganda differ from the free exchange of ideas that is essential to democracy? How does propaganda work to divide and create communities? We will examine rhetorical and formal choices to understand the power of language to persuade and coerce. We will explore, through the study and writing of poetry and creative nonfiction, how creative works can function both as propaganda and invite attention and deliberation.

HONR 360ACommunity Histories4

In this course, we examine how telling underrepresented histories can confront or ameliorate past wrongs and create more inclusive communities. A central feature of the course is student research into the “community histories” of our area. This section of the course will focus primarily on the history of racially restrictive covenants and housing segregation in Central Minnesota. Students will develop research projects to better understand how the history of racial covenants and other restrictive practices affected local communities, including current disparities in housing, health, and education.

In the process it seeks to develop an understanding the parameters that comprise individual and social wellbeing and happiness and how systemic and structural inequalities in social structures and institutions such as race, class and gender plague our societal wellbeing and threaten to challenge our success as a society. This course, based on the Social World Way of Thinking, is focused on developing an understanding of economic wellbeing and happiness, evaluating the role of public policy for enhancing socio-economic wellbeing and motivating students to become leaders advocating social justice and change in their communities. Students will research a challenge to the well-being of their community, analyze it using their knowledge from the course. identify appropriate steps through which action could be mobilized. Examples of problems could be a) the racial education gap in Saint Cloud; b) the gender gap in majors at CSB/SJU or c) unequal access to Covid-19 vaccination in the local community.

HONR 363BEngaging Community in Polarized Times4

In this course, students will examine how a number of deep divisions in the American political community – divisions over race, religion, immigration, gender identity, political party, geography (urban versus rural), environmental policy, the distribution of wealth and power, and the fate of American democracy itself – manifest themselves not only nationally but also locally in our own community: within school boards, county commissions, city councils, meat packing plants, churches, community action groups, and more. Students will study the historical roots of these divisions and their current political manifestations, then research and formulate policy recommendations designed to the common good with respect to some specific issue affecting the local community. Students will then, individually and in teams, communicate their policy recommendations to local leaders and decision-makers such as state legislators, school board members, school superintendents, mayors, police chiefs, religious leaders, community activists, and employers. In doing so, students should expect to encounter significant disagreement from some of the community members whose support they hope to enlist for their proposed course of action. Students will thus learn how to speak with, listen to, and seek common ground wherever possible with people whose interests, life experiences, and understandings of the common good differ from their own.

HONR 363DClimate Justice Activism4

This course explores how to advance climate justice at the national, regional, and local level. We will examine climate crisis and its effects, policies, technologies, and movements to address climate crisis, and debates over approaches, focused on the national and local level. Students will engage in solidarity work with local climate and racial justice organizations and Native nations, participate in local events, talk to people taking climate justice action, and practice community organizing by putting on a climate justice teach-in. Solidarity work will culminate in a proposal for how Honors 5 students can work with the organization in the upcoming year. Roll up your sleeves because this course is about taking action! Through lived experience, in community, we will produce knowledge. We will focus our time together on the massive crisis of racial injustice and the intersections of this crisis with the climate crisis.
