HUM-5090: Black Feminist/Womanist Poetry Alice Walker (1985) coined the term womanist in her essay, In Search of My Mother’s Gardens. A womanist is one who boldly searches for deeper meaning and greater truths counter to what is considered good for one. She loves, appreciates, honors, and celebrates the beauty, strength, and vulnerability of women. She connects with spirit, mind, and body and is committed to the survival and wholeness of humanity. (Devoe, 2020) Womanists are those who subscribe to the social theory/movement of Womanism. Black Feminists emphasize the importance of understanding the interlocking oppressions and naming of Black women’s experiences. This course will explore and critique a diverse collection of poetry that highlights Black women’s lived experiences. This course will explore the implications of gender, mothering/other mothering, race, class, sexuality, black love and other social differentiators on the lives of Black women. This course will attempt to answer questions pertaining to how Black women theorize their lived experiences in the genre of poetry.

IDS-5000: Nature-Based Leadership This interdisciplinary course provides an overview of and immersion in the emerging field of nature-based leadership. In a world in which people are increasingly disconnected from the healthy, generative and renewing ways of nature, this course offers a framework and strategies by which to apply nature’s lessons to enhance one’s life and career. Nature-based leadership is inherently collaborative. It differs significantly from current mechanistic and hierarchical leadership models and is a way forward to restore a healthy and dynamic balance between people and nature. The course recognizes and builds on contributions from ecology, indigenous wisdom, environmental studies, systems theory, complexity, biomimicry, ecopsychology, conservation psychology, and place-based education. Nature-based leadership draws on these and other disciplines to nurture leadership in all aspects of society, with the aim that people in all relationships-with themselves, others and the Earth itself-contribute to a healthy, peaceful and regenerative present and future. The course takes a hybrid approach to instruction, including nature-based experiential activities in the outdoors, classroom discussions, online readings and commentary, and personalized projects. Participants will leave with strategies for incorporating principles of nature-based leadership in personal and professional settings, including, and not limited to, home and family environments as well as business, education, non-profit organization and health sectors.

INT-4800: Hollywood & Public Policy From Reagan to From “family values” to “locker room talk,” sound bites have shaped American life by the power of their ubiquity. Prior to the 1980s, “spin” was a term for advertising and entertainment; politics and public policy decision-making were considered more serious realms, shaped by larger forces than popular opinion. The separation between truth and fiction was held as sacrosanct to democracy, and the role of Hollywood was to offer escape from the trials of war and the Depression. The 1980s changed all of that: Ronald Reagan deployed the tactics of advertising and melodrama towards a landslide victory; debates over social policies like health care and welfare moved from the Congress floor to prime time; television and popular films became points of reference for judging “the state of the economy” and “the crisis of the American family.” This course investigates the relationship between Hollywood, politics and popular beliefs over four decades.

LIBM-6110: News, Media and Information Literacy for Learners in the Digital Age While today’s learners are often referred to as digital natives, our complex information landscape requires all educators to be skilled at helping them become digital detectives. In addition to evaluating a variety of traditional news/information literacy protocols, in this course k-12 teachers and librarians will learn to understand the inextricable link between Information Literacy and Social Emotional Learning (SEL), the ways that mobile technologies affect our ability to parse credibility, and the intricacies of the click-driven economy that drives the spread of mis-, dis-, and mal-information. With a focus on instructional design, this course will prepare educators for the task of creating learning opportunities for children that will help them navigate our information rich (but sometimes fact poor) world.

LIT-3100: Modern European Fiction The early twentieth century marks a time of crisis in Western culture. It was the advent of an era that historian Eric Hobsbawm has labeled the age of extremes. World war laid waste to the empires and social order of the past along with previously unshakeable faith in reason and progress. And it was a time when fixed notions of the self and its place in the world, notions of reality itself, and long-established forms of art collapsed in a radical break with tradition that gave way to an utterly new form language in all of the arts. This course focuses on modernist innovations in the art of fiction by examining four pioneering texts - all of which can be read and reread without exhausting their depths - as seen in this rich and tumultuous historical context: Death in Venice (1911) by Thomas Mann, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1914) by James Joyce, Swann’s Way (1913) by Marcel Proust, and To the Lighthouse (1927) by Virginia Woolf.

LIT-3130: Literary Communities of Los Angeles In this class, students will dive into the literary world of Los Angeles, exploring literary and cultural centers throughout the city, reading classic and contemporary L.A. poets and writers, and engaging with the L.A. literary community in person and through their own writing. As an experiential class, students will be introduced to literary centers and events throughout west and east L.A., write reviews, engage in classroom discussions, and read a creative piece in a public reading at Beyond Baroque Literary/Arts Center. In doing so, students will explore the relationship between community and creative work in Los Angeles while considering the validity of commonly held conceptions of the city as an alienated, sprawling, and superficial metropolis. This is a 4 unit class. The extra unit will be comprised of the individual visits to literary sites of the student’s own choice, reviews written in response to these visits, online postings of these reviews and responding to other student’s reviews on Sakai, and the reading, preparation and reflection required before site visits. See assignments for more information.

LIT-3260: Contemporary Literature From the Global Community This course explores various dimensions of the works of two critically acclaimed literary icons of Middle Eastern fiction - the Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz and Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk - both recipients of the Nobel Prize for Literature, in 1988 and 2006 respectively. Each has explored the historical, colonial, and post-colonial dimensions of his culture. Mahfouz delves into pre-Islamic stories that rest within the Egyptian psyche today as well as into the existential tales rooted in the soil of the 1960’s. Pamuk’s fiction is exemplary of the major inner conflicts of religion, love, identity, and politics in his native country Turkey with a focus on Islamic extremism and secularism. We will explore these two authors’ writings in several ways - first by exploring the historical context in which their works are situated while also examining the literary forerunners that inspired their writing. We will also look at social themes that emerge in the works, while also developing our cultural understanding of Egypt, Turkey, and Islam. The goal in this class will be to make a comparative analysis of themes in our society and the Middle East, which will encourage the reading of global literature as a tool for understanding diverse cultures. Through fiction and memoir we will live with these two authors in their respective traditions and travel from what was once the cradle of civilization to the borders of Europe and the Middle East.

LIT-3360: Lyric and Narrative, History and Imagination in Contemporary Literature This course explores the way many contemporary writers have begun to combine, juxtapose, or weave, historical events, memoir, personal experience, various kinds and degrees of poetic language (lyric), and imaginative turns, into new, inviting, sometimes puzzling genres of literature. Students observe how poems combine lyric and narrative (i.e. telling a story) to varying degrees, and then move to the use of lyric, poetic language and stylistics by novel writers in their works of fiction. The course also tackles metafiction, the historiographic novel, and the uses of history, to see how and why writers have developed this relatively new form.

LIT-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.

LIT-3390: Queer Literature-A Brief Survey Fiction, Poetry, Drama, Memoir and Film This is a multi-genre literature course focusing on work by queer writers from Radclyff Hall to Tony Kushner. How does being in the life inform the works of these authors? Are there consistent themes, concerns, symbols, metaphors inherent in gay and lesbian work? What impact does homophobia have, and how has the literature changed over the 20th century? Is there a marked difference between literature pre-Stonewall, and post-Stonewall? Students examine the role of humor in gay and lesbian writing, as well as issues such as AIDS, class, race, trans-gendered identity, bisexuality.

LIT-3510: Independent Study Our sense of cultural identity is in flux and under construction, subject to the play of history and difference. Through documentaries, videos and readings of American Indian myths, stories from the Latin American Boom, and vernacular African- American tales, students uncover layered histories of American destinies and their possible role in defining a more inclusive sense of American culture. Students analyze how stories and counter-stories teach and delight; how gender is constructed through cautionary or celebratory tales and how diverse spiritual and erotic values are encoded. Students locate, in stories, the struggle against inhuman violence motivated by greed and fear. Students explore the American Indian presence in Los Angeles, in a powwow, museum visit and guest interview.

LIT-3640: Varieties of Short Fiction The aim of this course is for students to analyze a variety of classical and contemporary short fiction. The course engages all the elements that give a fiction a chance at success - obsession, seduction, evoking of the senses, the removal of filters, scene and summary, theatre of the mind, et cetera. This course examines the elements of fiction - plot, character, setting, point of view, theme, effective dialogue, meaningful description and telling detail, narrative voice, pacing, symbol, etc. - in an effort to determine the part each element plays in creating the overall effect of the short story. Students learn to recognize and use the terminology of fiction and, by reading, discussing, and analyzing several dozen stories by a diverse selection of writers, achieve a thorough understanding of the process and value of writing short fiction, as well as develop skills with which to analyze the form.

LIT-3650: Writing As Resistance This course considers writing as a radical, subversive act of culutural resistance against authority and oppression in its innumerable forms of guises. Through reading, lecture, dialogue and creative writing investigations, students become familiar with both literary and conceptual models of resistance offered by a diverse selection of writers and thinkers, including Kathy Acker, Reinaldo Arenas, Helene Cixous and Nawal El Saadawi. Particular attention is given to the connection between radical politics and radical aesthetics, the literature of sexual and social transgression, and not just the writer’s text, but the writer’s body as the tool of rebellion. Using Gloria Anzaldua’s concept of auto-teoria-historia, students reflect on their own lives to create their own models and stories of resistance.

LIT-3760: Representations of Adolecence in Literature This class will engage students in a focused study of literary representations of adolescence. Though we may think of adolescence as a set developmental phase, delineating it is also a relatively modern luxury. Members of past generations and people of less privileged societies often go directly from childhood into the responsibilities of adult life. Adolescence, as we know it, is a socially constructed idea. Notions of its purpose and meaning shift with the times. Through reading, lecture, discussion, and close analysis of four novels (and some poems), we will reflect on how adult writers strive to capture the challenges, conflicts, and unique experiences of American adolescents. We will also consider how these works reflect ideas about adolescence as a social construction. In the four major works considered, we?ll look at American adolescence from the post-war period through the 1970s and 1980s up to the present.

LIT-3810: Writing Magical Realism: Making the Familiar Strange This creative writing course draws upon the considerable resources of international magical realist writing in order to support students in developing new approaches to their own creative work. Magical Realism, particularly in its more classic examples, employs imaginative leaps in the context of the ordinary to problematize and playfully resist the limitations of “things as they are.” At the heart of the course is the question: What is the psychological, political, and aesthetic value of imagining that which is said to be impossible? In exploring this question, we will aim to understand how the playful techniques employed by magical realist writers can address many interests and issues, including issues of social justice and forms of colonization. Furthermore, because the worlds of Magical Realism frequently explore the tension between the plausible and the impossible, the matter-of-fact and the extraordinary, creative writers studying this genre are in position to learn how to effectively write both realism and fantasy, as well as how to create a potent balance between (and/or disturbance of) the two.

Why did William Carlos Williams think that literally and figuratively, so much depends upon a red wheelbarrow? What makes The Red Wheelbarrow a poem in the first place? Why are some twentieth century and contemporary poems so hard to understand? This course offers an historical overview of American poetry and poets from the Puritans, Anne Bradstreet, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson through the moderns, Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Wallace Stevens; the late moderns, Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, and Sylvia Plath, in addition to the rich mixture of genres and voices that make up the last forty years or so of our history. Students will also learn interpretative strategies, vocabulary, terminology and history to equip them for making sense of American poetry. The course also traces the thematic cross currents that typically run through American poetry: the world of work; Mysticism, Neo-Paganism, Buddhism and Christianity; Gay and Lesbian voices; immigration and cultural identity, feminist concerns; the uses of art, philosophy and theory; how American poets have responded to war, etc.

LIT-3900K: Transforming the Everyday: a Poetry Workshop Using exercises and examples to stimulate the imagination, this workshop focuses on writing. Students explore how we transform the ordinary elements of what’s around us (i.e., our own thoughts and feelings, the external world) into linguistically alive and exciting to read poetry. The day is divided into three sections: reading and discussing examples of contemporary poetry, writing and work-shopping what we’ve written.

LIT-3900L: Blackness & Identity in Nonfiction This workshop explores how race, specifically negative concepts of blackness engrained in American history and culture, has shaped the work of nonfiction writers who struggle with the fundamental concept of self and establishing the validity of their own stories and experience. Through film, readings, discussion and writing exercises, students will analyze how racial oppression-slavery, Jim Crow,etc.-was at its core a negation of a valid black self and authoritative black voice. Students will also examine the fluidity between social and individual black reality, and how this fluidity has been consistently reflected and addressed in works from Frederick Douglass to Maya Angelou to Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

LIT-3900P: An Introduction to Homer and the Iliad The Iliad is one of the most important works of Western Literature. Although this epic poem is timeless, sometimes people find Homer tough going - a remote, distant culture; characters that are hard to penetrate, whose motives and values are very different from our own; a language and writing style that is not always inviting. Students briefly examine Homer’s impact on Western art and literature. The course also explores some of the ongoing academic questions regarding Homer: Was there an historical Homer or one writer of the epics? How do the metaphors work? What is the narrative and dramatic structure? No grade equivalents allowed.
