  • 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.

  • GBL-3130: Radical Economy From Inequality to Solidarity

    This class explores possibilities and opportunities for strengthening our communities by building self-reliance, solidarity and a more democratic economy. We begin with looking at our big problems, such as lack of access to healthy food, climate chaos, and the struggle for healthy and safe places to live and work. Many of these issues stem from an inequitable economy, as evidenced by the loss of social safety nets and the lack of opportunity for everyday well-being. In order to tackle these problems thoughtfully and effectively, we will consider an inspiring range of alternative economic tools and ways of thinking; creative and innovative methods such as time banks, worker owned cooperatives, participatory budgeting, social entrepreneurships, and community finance models. The growing movement of worker-owned cooperatives exemplifies the real-world opportunities of the solidarity economy; reflecting values, cultures and communities of cooperation, building relationships of mutual support, tackling shared responsibility and democratic decision-making. These opportunities serve to strengthen the diversity of local cultures and environment, as well as epitomize a commitment to valuing and celebrating our shared humanity. We explore the principles of solidarity and “just transition” in class, by learning from individuals and groups who are thriving examples of organizing new and creative forms of conceiving public space, cultivating and consuming food, promoting self-sufficiency, developing equitable economic models, and fostering healthy, just communities. We’ll examine and imagine our own place in the movement. Many local, regional, national and international initiatives are actively working to answer the call for a just new economy and sustainable future. In this course we will examine the current state of economic justice, assess and deconstruct the problems and root causes in financial systems, distinguish between the multiple perspectives of economic opportunity, investigate and analyze potential solutions, and create new pathways. Our course activities will include group discussion, reading reflections, access to new media, project construction, conversations with guest speakers, and writing support.

  • 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.

Women’s and girls’ health is linked to many dimensions, including the type of work they do, access to food and water, sanitation, cultural practices regarding pregnancy and childbirth, and access to health care services, as well as local patterns of disease and other health concerns. As we explore these questions, we will seek the voices of the women of the Global South, and explore how local communities are coming together to improve women’s health. Topics will include the role of traditional birth attendants, the impact of poverty, violence against women, safe practices for childbirth, as well as the innovative programs for health education provided by community health workers in many rural communities. We will also attempt to explore the impact of the current pandemic on women and girls in communities of the Global South.

  • 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.

This course will explore the intersectionality of aspects of American culture – particularly, race, ethnicity, religion, immigration, sexual orientation/identity, and socio-economic status – and how they contribute to the inextricably linked definitions, practices and discourses of masculinity in America. Explorations of these themes of American culture will make visible how current views and practices of masculinity have been fortified in myriad aspects of our lives. As each class session will be dedicated to illuminating a particular theme in American culture, students will learn that particular theme’s (1) influences on the constructions of masculinity, (2) effects on the development of masculinity discourses within various populations, and (3) potential to imagine more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable versions of masculinity in America than are currently and practiced. An interactive class format will be utilized, including critique of all assigned readings, film and video screenings, large and small group discussion, self-reflective written assignments, and oral/visual final presentations.

  • HUM-3280: Capturing Stories: COVID-19

    Capturing Stories invites students to collect personal stories of the pandemic from their own lives and in the communities where they live. Inspired by the COVID-19 Oral History Project and A Journal of the Plague Year, this new course allows students the freedom to observe, reflect and participate in gathering data in real time about how the virus has impacted lives. This includes topics such as health, habits, jobs, families, well-being, dreams, politics, visions of the future, and much more. Students conduct at least one oral history interview which will become part of a larger archive online, in partnership with other universities. We can share pictures, memes and videos of what people are experiencing right now: empty streets, working from home, chalk-drawn messages of encouragement. Students will also engage their creativity in artwork, theater, music or a dance using available media such as photography, video, audio recording, etc. While students collaborate on group projects, their curiosity determines the subject matter. Together, we will document how CoVid19 is influencing lives, from the mundane to the extraordinary - or not at all. Along the way, we’ll practice active listening, research skills, hands-on media production, and have fun.

  • HUM-3290: Prophetic Voices, Future Visions

    This course will explore dimensions of the prophetic imagination across time and cultures in search for clues or messages for our current era and the future. What has the wisdom of the past predicted? What can we learn from these voices? As a class, we will explore literature, poetry, historical accounts, philosophy, depth psychology, and sacred texts from a wide array of sources including: indigenous spiritualities from around the globe, Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, the Abrahamic traditions, science fiction, technological forecasts, and several compelling modern accounts. At the end of the course, students will engage their prophetic imagination by writing a prophecy or vision of the future uniquely their own. This class encourages students to consider the larger scope of psychological history while accessing a fascinating spiritual landscape encoded with vital knowledge regarding humanity’s way forward. This is a “W” (writing emphasis) class in which students will develop tools to improve their academic writing.

  • HUM-3310A: Symbols, Patterns, and the Cosmic Whole

    The natural world, humans, and the cosmos are constructed from patterns reflecting numbers, geometric shapes and relationships. Each image with its correlative numerical value is unique in its role in creating and maintaining the cosmic order. This course explores symbols and patterns and their relationship to each other as well as their individual expressions in nature, architecture, mythology, the arts and their role in guiding the life process itself. From unity and wholeness to transformation, stability, and completion, numerical symbols, geometric shapes, and patterns are explored in the cultures of the Ancient Near East (Sumerian, Babylonian), Egypt, Greece, Central and South America (Mayan, Aztec, Incan), the Far East (Japan, China, Thailand), and Medieval Europe. Designed to deepen an understanding of the natural world and human culture through an exploration of the numerical and geometric foundations of both human and natural design, this course develops the tools necessary for a life-affirming metaphysical, psychological, and sociological relationship to one’s self, others, and the world.

    This course explores the past 100 years of gay and lesbian history, powerfully evoked through numerous award-winning documentary films and one classic historical text. Each class includes the screening of a full-length film, followed by deconstructive conversations exploring the cultural, political, and psychological impact on gay and lesbian individual and community identity in America. This interdisciplinary on-line humanities course explores the diverse array of American utopian communities that emerged during the 19th century. Exemplary communities include: the Shakers, the Harmony Society, the Zoarists, New Harmony, Yellow Springs communities, Brook Farm, Fruit lands, the Amana Society, the Oneida community, the Icarians, and Modern Times. These communities are placed in their historical, sociological, and economic context, and the variety of impulses that conditioned the rise of utopian communities is examined.

  • HUM-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.

  • HUM-3630B: Watching Black on Network Television From Amos & Andy to Black-Ish

    Against a background and history of the African American struggle for social justice and human & civil rights spanning from the 1950s to 2022, this course chronicles and analyzes the diverse contributions of Black artists featured on television, cable, streaming services-including independently produced series-and, to a lesser extent, film. A significant focus is critical analysis of changing social roles and images of African Americans presented from the “stereotypes” of the early years to contemporary times. We take a critical view of media-inspired images of the postwar era to the expanding images of the 1990s and early 2000, right up until the television years of “Black-ish.” An additional focus on issues and portrayals based on race, gender and the LBQTQ community looks at their role in shaping audience perceptions, popular culture, attitudes, and programming. Students critically examine the social and historical impact of serials, specials, docu-series, and documentaries in television entertainment history.

  • HUM-3680: Human Narrative and American Culture

    This two-day workshop will take an intensive, critical, intersectional look at narrative and its place in American culture. Through the lens of readings in the neuroscience of history, the social psychology behind tribalism and moral choices, and the sociology behind the history of cities, we will take a closer look at varying influences on our national narrative and how we perceive it. We will question how it can be shaped and reshaped, and the place that we, as citizens have in that narrative. Particular attention will be given to our constantly shifting present-day national narrative as it is influenced and changed daily through the news and social media. Through lectures, analysis of pre-class readings, dialogue, and in-class writing exercises, we will ask how we were formed by the narratives in which we grew up, how those narratives spoke to or ignored us, and how we can, through our own writings, social media practices, and behavior in our communities help to shape the narrative of the world in which we live.

  • HUM-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.
