  • 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-3440: Critical Analysis of Digital Media

    We live in a world of unprecedented communication capabilities: a phone is a global podium, one single tweet can trigger masses, and artificial intelligence is widely used to curate ideas that mirror our individual beliefs right back to us. How did these happen? What is our role as media audience and citizens in this landscape of enticements? Can we spot bias at all, and if so, how is it ultimately constructed? What can be learned from it? The course offers students theoretical and methodological tools to discern the interactive media practices and communication technologies characteristic of late capitalism, and to curb their relentless, sophisticated attempts to make choices for us. To address these, we will examine relevant frameworks drawn from the interdisciplinary, postcolonial field of Cultural Studies, particularly its take on Sociology of Media, Critical Journalism, Propaganda Studies, and Semiotics (analysis of meaning-making processes). Through class discussion, readings and immersive tasks, we will look critically at the distinctive systems embedded in the production, distribution and consumption of contemporary media experiences. Based on these, we will generate a collaborative toolbox of practical strategies to gain agency over the insidious impact that digitally networked media have on our lives.

  • 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-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-4200: Race and Racism

    The purpose of this course is to equip students with a comprehensive understanding, both theoretical and applied, of race as a category of identity and racism as a system of domination and inequality. Students develop a keen awareness of major scholarly figures in the field of ethnic studies and learn the politics of theorizing and defining racial categories as an intellectual exercise. Students weigh competing perspectives, using historical and contemporary evidence, to examine what race is and how it works, including biological determinism, cultural pluralism, and social construction. The course pays close attention to the political context and effects of these theories; for example, the relationship between biological determinism, the eugenics movement, and immigration restriction in the 1910s and 1920s; and the links between the social construction/racial formation perspective and the civil rights and ethnic studies movements from the 1960s to the 1990s. Students critically analyze how racial categories (especially whiteness) have been constructed through the intersecting actions of government, capital, cultural producers, and everyday people.

  • SOJ-3014: Freedoms & Unfreedoms in US History

    This course explores a central paradox in the history of the United States: the “inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” as articulated in the Declaration of Independence and the reality that many people have historically been excluded from those “inalienable rights.” This paradox has been the source of many social movements as various groups sought to align America’s everyday reality with its highest ideals, from the struggles to expand the vote, the anti-slavery and labor movements, women’s movements, the civil rights movement, Native American movements, and contemporary movements for immigrant rights and more. The course will also explore the debates throughout American history about the meaning of freedom-from, for example, the 19th century call for freedom for the enslaved to contemporary conservative definitions of freedom. Students can expect to gain a solid sense of key dimensions of U.S. history from 1776 to the present.

  • SOJ-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.

  • SOJ-3320: Immi Debate in Historical Perspective 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.
