  • ORN-20: Prior Learning Workshop (Non-Credit)

    Prior learning credit is awarded for college-level learning acquired outside of a college setting. It must be documented by the student and evaluated by an AULA-approved faculty member in order to be credited to the BA degree. The three-hour prior learning workshop enables students to learn the philosophy, theory and process by which prior learning is awarded. Students write a sample proposal, explore methods of documentation, and learn specific criteria and rules necessary to successfully earn this form of credit. It is recommended that the prior learning workshop be taken no later than the student’s second quarter of attendance at AULA and, for students who have reduced residency, in their first quarter. Students may not propose or document prior learning without having first taken this workshop. This workshop can be taken more than once. No grade equivalents allowed.

  • PHI-4140: Foucault: Discourse and Discipline

    Foucault’s work on history and social philosophy has shaped the development of various fields from literary theory, to criminology, to psychology and gender studies. This course grounds students in Foucauldian theories and concepts, considers various ways they’ve been applied, and also weighs the more substantial criticisms of his work. To have a good understanding of Foucault is to have a good grasp on many of the significant movements - in philosophy, social science, and political activism - of the current moment.

  • PHI-4760: Ecological Existentialism

    This course, while philosophical in orientation, provides an interdisciplinary reflection on the existential question of how to live endings (personal, collective, ecological), here and now, today. To do this we will draw from innovative work being done in a variety of disciplines: philosophy, psychology, history, literature, art, thanatology, and anthropology among them. At the heart of the course is the constructive work of collecting, creating, and weaving together new conceptual language, new metaphors, new paradigms, to support and inspire us in the living of endings. The course undertakes this task by putting at least two scales of inquiry in creative tension with one another.: setting the personal, biographical, existential arc of a life in conversation with the global, historical, political implications of the ongoing ecological crisis. Students should complete the course with an informed, applied, interdisciplinary understanding of living endings.

  • POL-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.
