  • ENV-3040: Birds in the Field & Human Imagination

    The purpose of this course is to engage a tradition that spans millennia and every culture: a human fascination with birds. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, we will explore birds through many lens and avenues. As naturalists, we will seek out birds in the wild, experimenting with different approaches to observation. We will consider common themes in the life circumstances of birds, as well as explore the impact of human civilization on the ecology of natural habitats. Further, we will explore birds as symbols of the human imagination as expressed

  • ENV-3640: The Climate Crisis: Root Causes and Remedies

    Climate Disruption and, more fundamentally, the collapse of biological and cultural diversity caused by a very particular set of social, economic and political realities may represent a serious existential threat to humanity. This course draws on climate science, new ecological knowledge, traditional ecological knowledge, political-economy and systems thinking to understand the scale, pace and implications of the climate crisis; its root causes; and the advocacy, organizing and activism that is grappling with how we navigate it.

  • ENV-3900B: Urban Wilderness Conservation

    It is easy to define what is urban. It is not so easy to define wilderness. The concept of urban wilderness further complicates the process. A day spent in a complex urban wilderness ecosystem provides experience, insight, and understanding of the complex arguments for and against conservation of urban wilderness. The class meets in one of the state parks in the Santa Monica Mountains to look at the interactions of the wild and the urban. Students review and discuss the range of perspectives as to what constitutes wilderness, what is nature, and what is not. Students examine the natural processes at work in living biotic communities while looking at the political forces that advocate for the preservation, development and restoration of the landscapes in which these communities are situated.

  • ENV-3900C: Urban Fire Ecology

    Since the late nineteenth century, when Los Angeles County officials began recording wildfires, areas of the Santa Monica Mountains as large as 60,000 acres have burned in a single incident. Between the years 1950 and 2000 county officials recorded 181 incidents involving a total of 172,811 acres burned. There is no question that fire is a major potential hazard in this coastal mountain range which divides two major areas of the city, contains some of the most expensive real estate in the world, and stops just short of a densely populated downtown area. As unimaginable as it might be to some, fire is also a necessary periodic disturbance regime that releases bound up energy stored in stable ecosystems and facilitates plant and animal species diversity. The class meets at the Ahmanson Ranch to discuss fire in both its hazardous and beneficial forms. The class examines an actual burn site and conducts a field analysis of a recent fire and the successional process that has followed in its wake. No grade equivalent allowed.

  • ENV-3900D: The LA River

    No river, no Los Angeles. That was, according to the Spanish King, one of the chief rules of settlement in the New World. The Tongva, had lived along the shifting banks of what is now officially referred to as The Los Angeles Storm Control Channel, for possibly as many as seven millennia prior to King Phillip’s pronouncement. During the course of a full day, the class visits six sites along the river. Along the students explore the rich history of the river, its unique original character and the process by which it has become perhaps the first lost river in North America if not the world. The class discusses the importance of the river as part of the watershed of the greater Los Angeles Basin, as well as the effects on adjacent ecosystems along its 71 miles resulting from a human settlement process which ultimately resulted in its channelization. The discussion concludes with an overview of environmental and civic activism that has resulted in the possibility of an exciting future restoration process for the river that would benefit mostly those inner-city residents who live along its banks. No grade equivalent allowed.

  • ENV-4200: Environmental Health & Justice: Principles, Policies and Practice

    Poor and people of color communities have been disproportionately impacted by environmental harm from resource extraction, pollution, land-use, dangerous work and restricted access to the necessary resources to sustain healthy lives and livelihoods. This unfair burden is known as environmental injustice. The course takes an intersectional, systems-thinking approach to examining the complex problem of environmental injustice. Some of the questions we will consider include: What are the ways in which low-income communities and communities of color are targeted for the siting of toxic and polluting facilities? How do social and economic factors make individuals, families and whole communities more vulnerable to environmental challenges such as pollution and climate change? What are the actions that can and are being taken at diverse points of intervention in the eco-socio-economic systems and who is taking these actions? The course will combine reading, videos, music, online lectures (by the instructor and guests), class discussions, blog-posts, media analysis of current events and more to explore the contours of environmental justice.

  • FIL-3290: The Art of Screenwriting

    This class uses a workshop format for students to develop the fundamental tools and techniques of screenwriting for film. It is designed to provide the creative and film writing student with skills that cultivate an ability to create compelling narrative story lines, a nuanced understanding of the dramatic structure of screenplays, and an ability to effectively read and write in film script format. The class is designed for the screenwriting student who is prepared to originate new work and present it in a supportive and rigorous workshop setting. Work will be given a close reading by all students and the teacher in the workshop. Participants will give detailed written comments as well as engage in group critique of work. The class will seek to investigate screenwriting as a genre that is both bound by conventions but breaks with held formulas. We will reflect on the commercial versus the artistic aspects of the screenplay and the demands of each market- how can the screenplays and stories we want to tell be both personal (reflect our cultural identities) and viable in a commercial marketplace? This class is repeatable for credit.

  • FIL-3880A: American Culture & Soc Through Film

    This course explores, through the medium of film, a variety of social, cultural, and political themes within American society from the 1920’s to the present. The goal of the course is to investigate a series of topics reflected in cinema, which influence popular consciousness through representation of images, values, ideals and myths. The topics are approached through Hollywood films, documentaries, film clips, texts, supplemental readings, and lectures. From such perspectives students can examine vital motifs and themes in American life: power and the issue of empowerment; gender and race relations; sexuality and romance; war and peace; crime and violence; class divisions; decline of the family, and so forth. This course emphasizes the dialectic between the larger cinematic enterprise and the social reality of American life, especially throughout the post-World War II years.

  • FIL-4050: Political Documentary: Challenging the Official Story

    Over the past decade documentary films have entered a new golden age: more popular, more seen and appreciated, more in number, and more important than ever. This course considers the history and politics of recent documentaries; their challenge to the official stories of government and media; their presentation of an alternative reading of our times. The films of Barbara Kopple, Michael Moore, Errol Morris, Robert Geenwald and others will be examined in an effort to come to a critically informed understanding of the work of contemporary political documentary, its methods, techniques and strategies. Writing in 1969, urban sociologist Martin Oppenheimer described the city as the most vulnerable social structure ever conceived by humans. Nearly forty years later, when close to half of the world’s population lives in urban areas, Oppenheimer’s statement takes on special meaning as city dwellers face both enormous challenges and unique opportunities that will shape the future of the global community. Drawing upon examples from cities as diverse as Beijing, New Delhi, London, Sao Paolo and our own Los Angeles, this course exposes students to the diverse environments, people, systems and cultural expressions that breathe life into urban experiences. What do these cities have in common? What do their differences tell us about the competing values of those who live in them? In what ways are they unique? How do cities in the twenty-first century compare with those that came before? What lessons can developing nations take away from their post-industrial counterparts? What is the source of local, national, and trans-national identities? These are but a few of the questions that frame the goals of the class. Students meet the city in which they live by interacting with people and organizations that influence Los Angeles on a daily basis. The course encourages students to utilize interdisciplinary methods to identify and engage in the social, cultural and political landscape of the city.

  • GBL-3140: Conflict Management I: Nature and Cause

    An interdisciplinary examination of individual, group, organizational, national and transnational conflicts in the ‘Ages of Globalization and Terrorism.’ The world is irreversibly interdependent and marked by the free flow of capital, goods, people, knowledge and ideas, and at the same time subject to the increasingly turbulent forces of nationalism, ethnicity, religion and the spread of destructive technological capabilities (nuclear arms). By examining the root causes of conflict from the perspective of biology, psychology, economics and business, politics and technology, students will delve into the nature and sources of modern conflict, the strategies and tactics most often employed by disputants and the dynamic and structural forces that cause conflict to escalate, stalemate, deescalate and ultimately settle.

  • HIS-3320: The Immigration Debate in Historical Perspective

    The United States had an essentially open border at the turn of the twentieth century, so why has increased border control become one of the top concerns of many Americans at the start of the twenty-first? The current, often volatile and certainly emotional debates about immigration raise questions about not only the reform of immigration policy, but also the meanings of American citizenship and the futures of the nation. This course will analyze the contemporary immigration controversies through a close examination of their historical roots. Course topics will include the history of immigration policy in the United States; analysis of the relationships between the cultural, political, and economic dimensions of immigration, past and present; engagement with contemporary community groups that take different perspectives on immigration; analysis of the current proposals for immigration reform by the House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, and individual political representatives; and critical comparisons with immigration policies used by other countries.

  • HIS-3360: Environmental & Social History of Los Angeles

    The place we now call Los Angeles emerged 17,000,000 years ago from the Pacific Ocean. In the intervening years, mountains forced their way up from the land forming the boundaries of a large basin. Vast quantities of water coursed down the north and south sides of mountains and hills we now call Santa Monica, Simi, Santa Susanna, San Gabriel, and Verdugo. For all but 8,000 of those years, this place and those mountains needed no name. They just were. Then came the Tongva, the Chumash, and others - the first humans to settle here. Their names for this place were various: Kaweenga, Pasheekwnga, Komiivet, to name a few. After what seems to have been 8,000 relatively peaceful years, representatives of the Spanish King arrived in an area somewhere near the confluence of the Los Angeles River and the Arroyo Seco, declared this place to be El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula. This course examines the changes in the land going forward from that time.

  • HIS-3370: Harlem Renaissance in the Jazz Age: 1920-1938

    This course critically examines the Harlem Renaissance as a by-product of the first Great Migration of African Americans from the south to the north at the turn of the century. The Harlem Renaissance, like the Great Migration, came to symbolize a people reborn as they moved from plantation to urban settings. This course focuses on artists, social activists, intellectuals and political operatives of the Harlem Renaissance that include such luminaries as W.E.B. DuBois, Zora Neal Hurston, Duke Ellington, Marcus Garvey, Langston Hughes, Billie Holiday, and Alain Locke. This course introduces students to the history of the United States from the age of exploration to the end of the Civil War. The course explores several questions: What is American history? From whose vantage point is it typically told? What does it mean to write a people’s history? Can history be radical? Although much of history consists of names, dates, places, and people we were once told to memorize by our elementary- and high-school teachers, this course focuses instead on how we make sense of that past and why history is written in the way that is. Among the major themes this course addresses is the question of America and American as identities, places, ideologies and social positions. Though we use these terms often what exactly do we mean by them? What does it mean, for example, to call oneself an American? How does that concept change according to positions of class, race, gender, or sexuality? Can someone from Bolivia call herself an American? Does it mean the same thing to North Americans? If someone tells you while you are travelling abroad that he or she appreciates American culture, is he or she referring to a Jackson Pollack painting, Yosemite National Park, Donald Trump, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, or a hamburger? In this course we will grapple with some of these issues. We will draw upon our own personal experiences to each come up with our own unique definition of American culture. For some this may be as simple as identifying with the neighborhood one grew up in. For others, however, the idea of being American or of American culture may not be bounded by space or time.

  • HIS-4030: Situating the Self in the 20th Century
