Sustainability-related courses explore social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability challenges and solutions. The courses vary in the degree to which sustainability is a focus of study and are classified into two categories. Sustainability Investigations courses (SINV) engage students in a deep and focused study of problems with sustainability as a major emphasis of the course. Sustainability Connections courses (SCON) engage students in making connections between the main topic of the course and sustainability. Sustainability is related to but is not a major focus of SCON courses. Beginning with the Class of 2019, all students must complete a sustainability course as a graduation requirement.

African Civilizations to 1850 Ball, Jeremy This course provides an overview to the political, social, and ecological history of Africa. We will examine the peopling of the continent, the origins of agriculture, the growth of towns and the development of metal technology. Written sources before the 1400s are almost nonexistent for most of Africa, and so we will use archaeological and linguistic sources. The geographic focus of the course will be the Middle Nile, Aksum in Ethiopia, the Sudanic states in West Africa, Kongo in Central Africa, the Swahili states of the East African coast, and Zimbabwe and KwaZulu in Southern Africa. We will also examine the Atlantic Slave Trade and the colonization of the Cape of Good Hope.This course is cross-listed as HIST 170. |

Modern N. Africa from French Invasion to Arab Spring Hendrickson, Burleigh In spite of its unique geographic position as a trade hub and a bridge between the cultures of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, North Africa (the “Maghreb”) has long been overlooked in narratives of world history. From the establishment of French colonialism to the Arab Spring, the centralization of power and the power of revolt have played critical roles in defining the cultures, politics, and histories of the modern Maghreb. Using “authority” and “resistance” as organizing themes, this course explores the complex issues of multiculturalism, nationalism, and state-society relations in this dynamic region. |

Introduction to Native American Studies Dragone, Nicholle This course will introduce students to the major strands of Native American Studies including contemporary issues, cultural representations (music, dance, literature, art . . . ) law, history, and methodology, by addressing some of the following questions: What contemporary issues are Native Americans dealing with today? Who are they? Where do they live? How do Native nations relate to the U.S.? How do Native Hawai’ans and Alaska Natives fit into this discussion? To address these questions, students will take part in events scheduled for the centennial of the closing of the Carlisle Indian School, the first boarding school sponsored by the U.S. government to colonize and assimilate Native children into American society. Students will explore historic representations of American Indians and the continued legacy of these representations; as well as, contemporary Native self-representations through literature and film, art, dance and music. Additionally, the class will learn from Native storytellers, authors, playwrights and artists. |

Native American Women and Feminisms Dragone, Nicholle This course will explore the contemporary trends in the study of Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawai’ian Women by addressing the following questions: What is the usefulness of gender as a category of analysis? How have Native women been situated in scholarship on women and gender? How are Native women situated within tribal traditions? How are women’s and gender roles structured, traditionally, within Native societies? In the wake of settler colonialism in North America, how have women’s (and gender) roles remained the same, how have they changed? What are the current configurations of gender identity in Native communities, including two-spirit and multiple genders? Throughout the semester students will be introduced to Native and Indigenous feminisms (theory and praxis). We will look at the historic relationship between Native women and the early leaders of Women’s Rights in the U.S. We will explore Native women’s storytelling as sites of knowledge production and activism. We will study material culture – photography, archival records, and art – and discuss how to recognize Native women’s presence in the archives. To this end, we will take advantage of art exhibits/lectures at the Trout Gallery, and of the Carlisle Indian School’s archival materials -- digitized and physical – housed at Dickinson College and the Cumberland County Historical Society. |

Biological Determinism and the Myth of Race Marshack, Joshua In this course, we will critically assess biological determinism—jumping to biological explanations erroneously—in relation to race, war, gender and sex, and economic inequality. Through the lens of biological anthropology, we will explore conflicting theories of “human nature,” the American eugenics movement, modern scientific racism, and the origin of the concept of race. We will consider questions, such as: Are humans naturally egalitarian? And, is xenophobia evolutionarily adaptive? We will delve into some complex issues, such as that although biological races do not exist in humans, inequality and racism are so pervasive in many societies that they leave measurable biological effects on members of certain ethnic groups. |

Eurasian Invasion, The Columbian Exchange: Biology That Changed the World Wingert, Harold Beginning in 1492 there has been an exchange of all levels of fauna and flora across the globe. This exchange is known as the Columbian Exchange. The biological consequences of this exchange have been dramatic and all ecosystems on this globe have been altered. Today there exists two Europes, two Africas and two Asias as a result of this exchange of species. One of each exists in the original geographic location and the other in the United States. This course will explore the impact of invasive species on the ecosystems in Central Pennsylvania and to a lesser extent the rest of the United States and the World. This is a field based course. Students will visit local examples of invasive damage, local labs and meet scientists that manage invasive species. Students will also discover the controversies surrounding the purposeful introduction of many species that have become important parts of our local ecosystems. |

Gender and Development Kongar, Mesude This course examines the gender dimensions of economic development and globalization from the perspective of feminist economics. This perspective implies foregrounding labor, broadly defined to include paid and unpaid work, and examining gender differences in work, access to resources, and wellbeing outcomes, and how these are affected by macroeconomic policies and how gender inequalities are relevant for societal wellbeing. Since the early 1980’s economic globalization has been achieved on the basis of a common set of macroeconomic policies pursued in industrial and developing countries alike. These policies frame both the gender-differentiated impacts of policy and the initiatives that are implemented to reduce inequalities between men and women. The main objective of the course is to examine the impact of these policies on men and women in the global South (a.k.a. developing countries/Third World) on gender inequalities and to evaluate the policies/strategies for reducing gender inequalities and promoting the well-being of all people. The pursuit of these objectives will entail first a brief examination of the central tenets of feminist economics and an historical overview of the policy-oriented field of gender and development. Gender-differentiated statistics will be reviewed as they pertain to the topics under discussion. |

Thoreau and American Nature Writing: Environment, Cultures, and Values Nichols, B Ashton Henry David Thoreau's Walden is the foundational document of American nature writing. We will begin with a careful examination of this new genre. We will then work to understand connections between Henry David Thoreau and the tradition of environmental writing that he began. This focus will allow us to engage important questions confronting students and scholars interested in the tradition of environmental literature in America, its sources in wider American culture, and the impact of that tradition on our current environmental movement, nationally and internationally. Writers studied may include: Aldo Leopold, Edward Abbey, Annie Dillard, Peter Matthiessen, Terry Tempest Williams, Bill McKibben, and E. O. Wilson, and more. From the preservation of wild lands to debates about global warming, from the desire to conserve and protect animal species to the need to make use of natural resources for the betterment of human life, we will explore ways that "nature writing" and "environmental literature" have played a crucial role in the development of these ideas. Two essays, final exam. |

Contrarian Views within Environmental Studies & Environmental Science Pedersen, Brian The academic field of environmental studies, including environmental science, is relatively new. But the field is sufficiently established to have a recognizable set of experts. As with the water in a river, most of these experts are in the mainstream of environmental studies; they have similar perspectives on environmental challenges. But some experts, while sharing the mainstream’s concerns about the state of human-environment interactions, have perspectives on environmental challenges that are outside of the mainstream. A third group of experts hold views that are in opposition to the first two groups. This latter group is, in effect, flowing counter to most experts in environmental studies. This seminar is concerned with the “contrarians”, those experts who are outside the mainstream, whether flowing with and against the mainstream. What are the views of these contrarians? On what ideas, information, and principles are their views founded? What are the merits and utility of the contrarian’s views? What are the consequences of their views? The seminar will be organized as a semester-long project. We will search for environmental studies’ contrarians and then characterize and analyze their perspectives. We will organize and present this work in a form that is publicly-accessible and that will be useful to a wide range of audiences. Students in the seminar will be responsible for defining the project’s scope, planning the work, and carrying the project to completion. The work of the seminar will be done as individuals, small groups, and the entire class. Students will be able to focus some of their contributions to the project within their own areas of interest. Individual students’ contributions will be evaluated based primarily on portfolios of their work. |

Applied Business Ethics Riccio, Steven This course is designed for International Business and Management majors (but applicable to all students) who will inevitably encounter the ethical interface of business through a multitude of stakeholders. The course will focus on the contemporary realities of business people who must work in culturally diverse arenas when resolving personal and socially ethical questions. As future employees and managers, students must be aware of the possible results of their actions (as well as others) and understand that sometimes fine ethical balance is required in reconciling the needs of the enterprise, the demands of business practice, and their own personal lens. The course will be conducted primarily through class discussion, case analysis, as well as individual and small group exercises. |

Gender and Development Kongar, Mesude This course examines the gender dimensions of economic development and globalization from the perspective of feminist economics. This perspective implies foregrounding labor, broadly defined to include paid and unpaid work, and examining gender differences in work, access to resources, and wellbeing outcomes, and how these are affected by macroeconomic policies and how gender inequalities are relevant for societal wellbeing. Since the early 1980’s economic globalization has been achieved on the basis of a common set of macroeconomic policies pursued in industrial and developing countries alike. These policies frame both the gender-differentiated impacts of policy and the initiatives that are implemented to reduce inequalities between men and women. The main objective of the course is to examine the impact of these policies on men and women in the global South (a.k.a. developing countries/Third World) on gender inequalities and to evaluate the policies/strategies for reducing gender inequalities and promoting the well-being of all people. The pursuit of these objectives will entail first a brief examination of the central tenets of feminist economics and an historical overview of the policy-oriented field of gender and development. Gender-differentiated statistics will be reviewed as they pertain to the topics under discussion. |

Building Meaningful Spaces from the 19th Century: A Case Study of Chile DeLutis-Eichenberger, Angela For a period of over seven months in 2011, Chilean students dissatisfied with their country’s education system inherited from Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship territorialized public spaces to express their discontent and to clamor for change. They not only participated in highly coordinated marches, flash mobs (to include Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”), among other theatrical activities; they also occupied education and public buildings, and marked historical monuments of national importance with graffiti and props. Almost 170 years after the University of Chile's opening, the meaningful actions and writings offered in the contemporary context of the protests resignified the University's walls, the iconic monument of the institution's founding father (Andrés Bello) and, arguably, the University’s inaugural address that he offered in 1843. This course examines the signification of a series of "spaces" (physical, ideological, etc.) rooted in the 19th century, to discuss their plausible signification for the building of the Chilean nation following independence and, many times, beyond. Several "spaces" to be studied may include: Philadelphia and Ecuador (in the work of Camilo Henríquez); Argentina, and Chile as a place of exile (Esteban Echeverría; Domingo Faustino Sarmiento); the Church of La Compañía (Bello, Sarmiento, Mercedes Marín de Solar, José Antonio Soffia, and the more contemporary work of Englishman, Canon Keith Evans); mines (Jotabeche, Baldomero Lillo, and materials from the 2010 Copiapó mining accident); and other “centers” and “peripheries” in the context of the 19th century (Daniel Barros Grez and Jotabeche (Santiago and the provincias); and Alberto Blest Gana (Santiago and the provincias, again, the space of mining towns, France in Chile; and the contested territory of the mapuches). |

Modern N. Africa from French Invasion to Arab Spring Hendrickson, Burleigh In spite of its unique geographic position as a trade hub and a bridge between the cultures of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, North Africa (the “Maghreb”) has long been overlooked in narratives of world history. From the establishment of French colonialism to the Arab Spring, the centralization of power and the power of revolt have played critical roles in defining the cultures, politics, and histories of the modern Maghreb. Using “authority” and “resistance” as organizing themes, this course explores the complex issues of multiculturalism, nationalism, and state-society relations in this dynamic region. |

Introduction to Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies Jafri, Beenash This course offers an introduction to central concepts, questions and debates in gender and sexuality studies from US, Women of Color, queer and transnational perspectives. Throughout the semester we will explore the construction and maintenance of norms governing sex, gender, and sexuality, with an emphasis on how opportunity and inequality operate through categories of race, ethnicity, class, ability and nationality. After an introduction to some of the main concepts guiding scholarship in the field of feminist studies (the centrality of difference; social and political constructions of gender and sex; representation; privilege and power; intersectionality; globalization; transnationalism), we will consider how power inequalities attached to interlocking categories of difference shape key feminist areas of inquiry, including questions of: work, resource allocation, sexuality, queerness, reproduction, marriage, gendered violence, militarization, consumerism, resistance and community sustainability. |

Native American Women and Feminisms Dragone, Nicholle This course will explore the contemporary trends in the study of Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawai’ian Women by addressing the following questions: What is the usefulness of gender as a category of analysis? How have Native women been situated in scholarship on women and gender? How are Native women situated within tribal traditions? How are women’s and gender roles structured, traditionally, within Native societies? In the wake of settler colonialism in North America, how have women’s (and gender) roles remained the same, how have they changed? What are the current configurations of gender identity in Native communities, including two-spirit and multiple genders? Throughout the semester students will be introduced to Native and Indigenous feminisms (theory and praxis). We will look at the historic relationship between Native women and the early leaders of Women’s Rights in the U.S. We will explore Native women’s storytelling as sites of knowledge production and activism. We will study material culture – photography, archival records, and art – and discuss how to recognize Native women’s presence in the archives. To this end, we will take advantage of art exhibits/lectures at the Trout Gallery, and of the Carlisle Indian School’s archival materials -- digitized and physical – housed at Dickinson College and the Cumberland County Historical Society. |

Reproductive Justice Oliviero, Kathryn How can the “choice” in “prochoice” become real for women with a range of abilities, ethnicities, economic backgrounds or gender and sexual identifications? What does it look like to not only provide affordable access to birth control and abortion, but to also create the political conditions that enable people to choose to have children in an environment where both will thrive, rather than just survive? Creating these political conditions requires reproductive justice: a global social movement strategy and human rights platform that places reproductive power in the context of the larger social, racial and economic well-being of women, communities and families (Ross 2011). This course explores the origins and applications of reproductive justice. It investigates how the reproductive lives of many people, particularly women of color, are embedded in embattled legal, social, economic, racial and national frameworks that shape their capacity to control their intimate and procreative lives. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the course first maps reproductive justice’s origins, exploring: political philosophies of sexual and reproductive liberty; racialized and disability-based histories of eugenics, population control, and adoption; the black women’s health movement; birth control and abortion law; social welfare and healthcare politics; the reproductive politics of incarceration and state violence; disability and prenatal testing; and the transnational and LGBTQ applications of assisted reproductive technologies. The course will subsequently explore how reproductive justice platforms can enable diverse people to thrive: making the decision to prevent, terminate or have a pregnancy a real choice. It will assess the conditions that enable access to quality health care, economic security, racial justice, women’s equality, transgender and queer rights, environmental sustainability, disability justice, sexual autonomy, and community vitality. |

Immigration Politics: Gender, Race and Sexuality in Contemporary Migration Oliviero, Kathryn Why do global controversies over immigration so often center on migrant women’s fertility and their children’s access to government benefits? Why do some countries accept LGBT migrants but deny them the right to adopt, use assisted reproductive technologies, or extend citizenship to their children? How are efforts to limit marriage-and-family based migration racialized and classed? What are the gendered implications when nurses are a country’s central export? Could building a border wall or sending refugees back stop unwanted immigration? This course examines how intersecting gender, sexual and ethnic hierarchies shape and are shaped by immigration. Applying insights from feminist and queer theories of migration, students will explore how the gendered processes surrounding immigration craft concepts of nation, borders and citizenship. Readings and films examine how sexual and racial norms are renegotiated through the selection and regulation of immigrants. Central to our investigation is how transnational and economic forces compel migration, reshaping understandings of national belonging, workplaces, and family in the process. We will particularly consider how migrants negotiate multiple marginalizations, and in turn refashion understandings of community, identities, culture, and politics. An interdisciplinary framework combines media, law, activist, film, literary and historical accounts. |
