SCI-3070: Leimert Park Living Lab: Native Plant Assessment and Restoration This course in the science of plant biology and native plant restoration offers students an experiential, hands-on learning opportunity on-site at Leimert Park’s new People Street Plaza. Leimert Park is widely regarded as the vital heart and soul of African American music, arts, and culture in Los Angeles, sometimes dubbed as the black Greenwich Village. (It is located just 4 miles from the AULA campus.) The new plaza created by closing off vehicular traffic is being designed by local artists to include large planters that define the perimeter of the plaza where the plants native to the area will be restored. Students will identify and document these native plants through photography and plant sampling. They will learn basic scientific observation, research and documentation techniques, as well as urban ecological processes and problem solving. This project will raise awareness of the role of plants in peoples daily lives by illustrating some of the most common and interesting traditional use of these native plants in the Leimert park area. Through this learning process, students will also have the opportunity to make a concrete contribution to the cultural development of this vibrant location by working with local community members. This course uses a Living Lab teaching model. Living labs are real-life innovative spaces where students, faculty, and community members can address a current problem in order to develop as well as test possible sustainable solutions. Living labs also provide many opportunities to teach, co-create, design, and implement solutions that involve many disciplines and they often have open-ended applications. This course will also provide an opportunity for artist and scientist to collaborate and encourage student driven scientific and ecological inquiry in public spaces. The students will be asked to observe the natural phenomena in a living system as well as reflect on this experience.

SCI-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.

SOC-3050.LA: Social Theory of the City What does it mean to live in a city? How does urban life shape and construct our identities and experiences? What role do urban processes play in the construction of racial, ethnic, class, gender, sexual, and political identities? What do people mean when they talk about the ghetto, the inner city, or bringing life back to downtown? In this course, traditional urban concerns such as community, anonymity, social difference, spatial divisions, urban renewal/gentrification, safety, violence, and crime are examined anew through the lens of a broad range of social theory. Students work with theory from sociology, geography, media studies, ethnic studies, feminist studies, and queer studies to analyze critically the intersections between urban spatial form and the (de)construction of social categories. The course is organized around the analysis and deconstruction of a series of dualisms: center/periphery, native/foreign, white/black, rich/poor, civilized/savage, safe/criminal, private/public, male/female, and straight/queer. These dualisms reflect popularly held, but overly simplistic, assumptions about how social life in the city works. We will take the artificial divisions between these purportedly oppositional concepts as our entry point into a discussion of the greater complexity of urban social life.

What role does awareness of diversity and culture play in the life of the community? This course is designed to generate responses to these questions. Professionals, activists, families, and private citizens who are part of this community have been invited to participate in a series of colloquia to share their knowledge, experience, and opinions with the class and community members.

SOC-3720: Latina/o/x Studies: the Culture & the Politics Welcome to an experience that will leave you with more questions than answers. That is a goal, and in our jornada we will learn through a (re)mix of the social sciences and humanities, as well as interdisciplinary areas that represent different regions, countries and nationalities of focus. On the social sciences side, we will discuss this interdisciplinary area through politics and political sociology. On the humanities side, we will experience poetry, music, storytelling, and creative writing. This is a “W” (writing emphasis) class in which students will develop tools to improve their academic writing. *The term “Latina/o/x Studies” is a reflection of dialogues taking place in the interdisciplinary area relating to the presence of Latin American nationalities in the United States and elsewhere. It is a blend of two strands of thinking: “Latina/o Studies” and “Latinx Studies,” There is agreement on the need to shift away from the male “Latino” toward gender-inclusive forms.

SOC-3781: Class, Race, Gender and Sexuality: Exploring Social Inequalities This course examines class, race, gender and sexuality as categories of social difference. We will address how these categories shape society, individual life-changes, and daily social interactions. The courses takes a social constructivist approach, i.e., rather than focusing on biological differences, we explore how our society shapes the way we come to understand and experience race, class, gender, and sexuality. We will discuss how privilege and oppression are patterned by race, class, gender, and sexuality and how inequalities are perpetuated in institutional and interpersonal contexts. We will learn how these systems of inequality are highly interrelated - a concept called intersectionality. This course will offer you a new way of understanding social inequality and strategies for social change.

SOC-3840A: Social Psychology In attempting to understand human beliefs and behavior, social psychology looks at the interrelationship between individuals and groups. Social psychology is rooted in Lewin’s field theory, which examines how a person’s behavior is impacted not just by the individual’s personality but the surrounding social environment. This course explores how various aspects of social psychology help explain issues such as aggression and altruism as forms of social behavior, how attitudes are formed and their relationship to behavior, how we present the self and issues around self-esteem, social identity, prejudice and stereotypes. Students also attend to the impact of cross-cultural experiences on these themes.

SOC-3925: Corrections & Mental Health This course provides an overview of methods used in correctional facilities across the United States to implement behavior modification techniques and mental health services. It addresses the challenges from political, financial, psychological, and social standpoints and the unique integration of other services and programs that aid in improving mental health for offenders. The course aims to broaden perspectives about the criminal justice system from a corrections standpoint and critically think about ways in which mental health services can reduce recidivism and advocate for better functioning individuals. Special attention will be paid to systemic barriers for BIPOC, neurodiverse, LGBTQ and trauma affected populations. Students will gain a basic understanding of rights and protections of offenders while in custody, and the unique needs of this population.
