Foucault
Instructor: Dan Schubert
Course Description:
Cross-listed with LAWP 290-02, PHIL 261-02 and SOCI 230-01.Michel Foucault was perhaps the most influential social thinker of the late 20th century. His arguments about the panopticon, historical epistemes, the medical gaze, governmentality, sexuality, and power now permeate the social sciences and humanities. He once wrote, Do not ask me who I am and do not ask me to remain the same: leave it to our bureaucrats and our police to see that our papers are in order. These words will inform our semester of reading and discussing a variety of his primary works, including Madness and Civilization, Discipline and Punish, and The History of Sexuality, v.1, as well as some of his lectures and interviews. While our primary focus in this WID course will be Foucaults work itself, we will read a small selection of secondary literature that explicates and critiques some of his arguments.

Indigenous Peoples and Federal Boarding Schools in the United States
Instructor: John Truden
Course Description:
Cross-listed with AMST 200-05 and HIST 211-01. Between 1879 and 1980, the United States government operated a system of boarding schools designed to eradicate Indigenous cultures while also profiteering from child labor. While largely absent from the public discourse until recently, the traumas wrought by this system is still playing out in Indigenous communities across the United States. In our class, we will examine the origins, goals, impact, and legacy of federal off-reservation boarding schools, by ruminating on the experiences of Indigenous shaped by that system.
