Letter Grade Discusses the impact of the visual image and its use in society to develop consent among public opinion. Starting with the Communication theory of Marshall McLuhan that “the medium is the message,” students will begin to understand how the forms and methods (“media”) used to communicate information have a significant impact on the messages themselves. Also examines how the use of art and visual imagery has been used throughout history as propaganda to win support for wars, political ideas, and social movements.

Letter Grade This year-long art history and history team- taught seminar looks at five crucial moments when America marked its Independence: 1826, 1876, 1926, 1976, 2026. Each of these half- century markings of American Independence will help us to explore important paradigm shifts (or how Americans viewed themselves and their world), by providing six "spools" about which to spin threads and weave fabrics of remembrance that display social, artistic, literary, technological, political, and historical themes, among others. Such explorations will necessarily include people, expressions, and events that were significant during some years on either side of these half-century markings.

Letter Grade Explores the intersection of art and politics in empires throughout history and around the world. We will examine the question of what it means to rule imperially and whether this form of government has any modern equivalents. We will consider how art has alternately advanced, resisted, and reflected political power realities in empire-type governments. We will also look at the many ways in which political actors have attempted to constrain or empower artists’ activities to challenge and subvert empires. Topics of governmental rule, war, torture, globalization, revolution, religion, nationalism and social justice, among others, will be explored through painting, sculpture, posters, architecture and film. This interdisciplinary honors seminar combines the complementary insights of art history and political science. Core: Art/Music requirement.

Letter Grade What is time? Throughout the ages, scientists and poets, philosophers and artists have pondered this question. This course will explore their reflections, from Aristotle to Einstein and beyond. It will include time keeping, from the stars to atomic clocks, scientific theories of time and spacetime, the literary imagination from the Greeks to time travel, and the many unknowns that challenge us today.

Letter Grade Maybe you don’t think much about nature, or maybe you are someone who likes to be outdoors a lot. What does “nature” mean to you, and what are the important conversations about it today? One important conversation is about saving it, but there are others as well. Each generation of Americans has defined nature in a different way. And because nature cannot speak our language, humans have for centuries attempted to give voice to nature in poetry and prose. This new honors course will explore nature writing from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century and will challenge students to add their own voices to nature. 262
Letter Grade Over 12,000 years ago, the first humans enter what will be called the Americas. They cross a land bridge from Northeast Asia, and within a few thousand years inhabit even the most forbidding landscapes. They remain the only humans in the Western Hemisphere until wave after wave of European migrants begin taking up residence in the late 1400s. In confronting their natural surroundings, both groups inflict ecological damage, but European settlers, who have seriously degraded their natural environments before leaving, use increasingly powerful tools to alter their New World surroundings in ways that peoples already living there can scarcely imagine. Through readings, visual media, and discussions, the seminar seeks to unravel this saga and gain valuable insights about the changes in lifestyle that are necessary if humanity is to survive and thrive in the Americas—and around the globe.
