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.

  • HUM-1100BR: Philosophy: Good Questions for Life
  

  • HUM-1110BR: Literature: Reading Cultures

    This course will explore the philosophies of several canonical western thinkers, and attempt to historicize them within a framework usually recognized as the Western Tradition. We will engage in close readings of selected texts. We will expand the student’s view of traditionally accepted philosophers to include the concepts and views of people and societies not normally accorded the respect by university traditionalists. Through putting these texts in conversation with one another as the course progresses, an understanding of the thought, ideas and discourses which animate the western mind, as well as the culture and institutions of western society, will be developed.

  • HUM-2012BR: This Land: Environmental Humanities and Hope

    In Clemente and in Bridge, our conversations are often guided by the humanities; history, literature, art, philosophy and spirituality. This approach offers us ways to show both the paths we have travelled in the past and the new roads we hope for in days to come. Climate change, human development and economic instability have created a state of uncertainty, with risks to local communities and to global well-being.Regions and people with the fewest resources are experiencing the most severe economic and health effects, as many struggle to achieve financial stability or to access clean water, soil, and air.In the face of such change, what is your lived experience? What is the role of stories, poems, public art, spiritual doctrines or Native American lore? What can we learn together and from each other, in order to collectively improve those conditions? With that knowledge, we can choose actions. The course will have readings, videos, art, music, workshops, projects, conversations and reflections.

  • HUM-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.

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.

    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.
