AMST 115 Introduction to American Studies 6 credits
This overview of the “interdisciplinary discipline” of American Studies will focus on the ways American Studies engages with and departs from other scholarly fields of inquiry. We will study the stories of those who have been marginalized in the social, political, cultural, and economic life of the United States due to their class, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, citizenship, and level of ability. We will explore contemporary American Studies concerns like racial and class formation, the production of space and place, the consumption and circulation of culture, and transnational histories.

EDUC 275 Inclusion or Refusal?: Educational Justice Models 6 credits
This era of local, state, and national pushback against policies and practices of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” provides us with an opportune moment to examine the possibilities and limitations of this framing as a pathway for educational justice. Drawing on critiques of liberal frameworks of educational equity by Indigenous scholars and scholars of color, this course will ask what educational justice might look like beyond representation and belonging, especially in higher educational institutions.
Recommended Preparation: One 100-level Educational Studies course.
Extra Time Required: There will likely be off-campus site visits to schools and/or engagement with relevant campus programming around the topic.

GWSS 110 Introduction to Gender, Women’s & Sexuality Studies 6 credits
This course is an introduction to the ways in which gender and sexuality structure our world, and to the ways feminists challenge established intellectual frameworks. However, since gender and sexuality are not homogeneous categories, but are crosscut by class, race, ethnicity, citizenship and culture, we also consider the ways differences in social location intersect with gender and sexuality.

IDSC 100 Civil Discourse in a Troubled Age 6 credits
As we listen to people discussing critical issues facing individuals, communities, countries and the planet, what do we see happening? Is communication occurring? Do the sides hear each other and seek to understand another point of view, even if in disagreement? Is the goal truth or the best policy or victory for a side? What skills, approaches, and conditions lead to genuine discussion and productive argument? How can we cultivate these as individuals and communities? This Argument and Inquiry seminar addresses these questions in both theory and practice by allowing students the opportunity to read, view, discuss, and analyze theoretical discussions and case studies drawn from the past and present on a range of controversial topics.
