The Science of Attraction and Relationships

Our romantic and sexual relationships are among the most impactful in our lives. Being desired by and desiring others drives much of our behaviors, including how we dress, what we post online, and even how we spend our money. Throughout this course we will provide a broad overview of the research topics, methods, and findings related to the scientific study of intimate relationships.

Introduction to Peace Studies

Are humans inherently violent? Is war inevitable? How do people in different societies respond to conflict? Is it 
possible or even desirable to eliminate all conflict in human interactions? What is meant by"peace"— is it simply the absence of violence? What is necessary for establishing and maintaining a peaceful community or society? How are animals and the environment relevant to peace for humans?  Does inner peace relate to outer peace?

Weimar and Nazi Germany

The two German political regimes of the era from 1918 to 1945 - the Weimar Republic born out of the Great War and the Nazi dictatorship that destroyed it - exemplified and contributed directly to the reshaping of European (and non-European) life in the twentieth century. This research seminar for senior history majors and minors will examine some of the approaches scholars have taken to understanding social, intellectual, cultural, and political aspects of life under these two governments as well as their effects on our understanding and experience of the "modern" world.

African American Religion Tradition

This course is a survey of African American religions that exist outside the Black Church tradition. We will begin with a discussion of blackness in America through the works of W. E. B. DuBois and Franz Fanon, among others. This is meant to contextualize our later discussions. We will then look into African traditions that were adapted in the context of the enslavement of African peoples in the Americas. These include Vodou, Espiritismo, and Santeria, as well as a brief look at West African traditions that still are practiced in Nigeria and in the United States.
