"What tales might those pictures tell," the poet Walt Whitman
once asked, "if their mute lips had the power of speech?" In
English 350/ART 210, we'll explore how writers and artists have
answered that question in the years since photography's invention
in 1839. Nothing before photography had so accurately represented
the natural world. How would the talkative text respond to the
silent image? How does literature compete with photography's
beauty and presumed factuality? And is it helpful, in answering
these questions, to remember photography's etymology-writing with
light? This semester, we'll read from the 19th century to the
21st, looking at poems, essays, stories, and criticism that
respond to photography. We'll look at photographs and photobooks.
We'll consider various ways that photography and literature
intersect, including author photos, illustrations, captions,
photo albums, and sequential art. Writers and photographers will
include: Walt Whitman, James Agee, Carrie Mae Weems, Walker
Evans, Natasha Trethewey, Duane Michals, Emily Dickinson, Allen
Ginsberg, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, and others. We'll ground
ourselves with Susan Sontag's On Photography. We'll learn from
Roland Barthes that all photographers are "agents of death"
(Camera Lucida). Projects include analyzing images from Wabash's
archives and class presentations on new photographers.

ART-225-01 Drawing Animation |
Mohl D |
TU TH
01:10PM - 03:00PM |
Do you enjoy sketching or drawing? In this course, you will not
only develop your drawing skills but bring your drawings to life
with animation. Using Adobe After Effects and Photoshop, students
will learn effective ways to animate their drawings and explore
their ideas. Through a series of prompts, the class will create
short animations that explore various drawing media such as
graphite, charcoal, and ink. Experimentation, aesthetic
sensibilities, and creating unique, original visual images will
be stressed in every animation. Some projects may also
incorporate the use of digital scanners to include original
textures, materials, and objects. This class does not focus on
traditional hand-drawn animation methods of creating multiple
drawn frames to produce the illusion of movement (it's much
easier and less time-consuming than that. You only have to draw
something once to animate it.) No previous drawing or software
experience is required.

ENG-171-01=ASI-112-01
From Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball to Sui Ishida's
Tokyo Ghoul, manga and anime have earned a
reputation for being globally influential mediums
of literature and entertainment. Manga
storytellers often use their works to interrogate
complex themes, issues, and queries of humanity,
technology, gender, race, existential beliefs, and
culture. Likewise, anime adaptations make use of
cinematic visual storytelling to expand on the
source material of manga stories with voice acting
and music to increase the thematic depth and
audience immersion. This course will feature a
wide selection of manga and anime and consider
what can be learned from understanding their
narrative dimensions. Texts will range from Dragon
Ball and Sailor Moon to Haikyuu, Fullmetal
Alchemist, and Tokyo Ghoul. The material for the
course will be read/viewed in translation, so it
is not necessary to know Japanese to take this
course.

In the heart, it's intention; coming forth in words, it's
poetry." So says the "Preface" to the Book of Songs, the ancient
classic of Chinese poetry. In this course, we will read
selections (in English) from the Book of Songs, and later poets
like Li Bo [Li Bai], Du Fu, and Wang Wei. We will study how
Chinese poets use image and metaphor to convey their distinctive
ideas about nature, religion, and human life. On occasion, we
will also read Chinese poems alongside selected English-language
poems, comparing their techniques and aims. Absolutely no
knowledge of Chinese is required. This section of REL-296 can
apply as an elective for the Asian Studies minor. Fulfills LFA or

Trade politics are a complex nexus of domestic and international
politics, economic conditions, global and regional institutions,
business interests, and civil society. This course aims to
provide an understanding of trade politics in the Asia-Pacific
region - the largest market and manufacturing base in the world.
The course introduces the latest developments in the Pacific Rim
by reviewing cutting-edge research. The first half of the course
covers trade policy preferences of Asia-Pacific countries,
intraregional and extra-regional free trade agreements, and the
political implications of Asia-Pacific's key position in the
global supply chain. Specifically, we will analyze trade politics
between Australia, China, Mexico, Peru, South Korea, and the
United States. The second half of the course focuses on the
politics of multinational corporations, foreign direct
investment, trade in services, and digital trade. We will then
examine the impacts of global trade on Asia-Pacific's labor
rights, development, and environment. There are no prerequisites
for this class as we will go over the trade models throughout the
semester if needed.

This senior capstone course will challenge students with an
application of fundamental concepts from earlier coursework,
particularly computational modeling, to the topic of molecular
machines. With potential applications in drug delivery and
molecular electronics to development of "nanocars", molecular
machines are an emerging field. The first artificial molecular
machine was synthesized in 1994 and the 2016 Nobel Prize in
chemistry was awarded to Stoddart, Sauvage, and Feringa for their
work with molecular machines. In-depth exploration will connect
overarching themes in the major and provide a powerful launching
point for written comprehensive exam preparation. Critical
engagement with the primary literature and diverse modes of oral
and written presentation will be emphasized. This one-half credit
course is required of all chemistry majors and meets twice each
week for the first half of the semester.

Hell', so to speak, and explore a wide array of underworld
conceptions in ancient Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Christian
sources. Why? Ideas about death, the underworld, an afterlife in
general, are all historical not timeless, and exploring that
history allows us to engage our own ideas about death more
actively. In our time, we keep death at a firm distance,
isolating it into the clinical space. It is the domain of
professionals. For the ancients, death was part of life and there
is a substantial ancient literary tradition of 'descending' to
visit the underworld; to observe, search, behold, and, sometimes,
to escape. The theologies and social histories of hell are
dynamic and shifting and we aim to trace that dynamism in order
to gain understanding of the history and power of hellish ideas.
In addition to classroom discussions, expect to visit a cemetery,
a morgue, and an epic trick-or-treat event. (Can be taken along
with REL 290-02, "Afterlife," or independently).

2nd Half Semester Course
Conceptions of afterlife frequently govern our 'now'-life,
providing it with meaning and an overarching logic. Yet, we
rarely pause to consider where our ideas about the afterlife come
from, not to mention the historical events, social histories, and
philosophies that gave rise to views of the afterlife now held to
be obvious and timeless. There was a time 'before' heaven above,
resurrection of the body, the immortality of the soul, and even
angels. How do conceptions of the afterlife emerge, and what is
the range of those conceptions in the Jewish, Roman, and
Christian traditions? Moreover, how do these traditions mutually
inform one another? This course will detail ancient ideas about
the afterlife in a wide array of textual and archeological
tradition in conversation with our contemporary world. Will our
technology change our afterlife? (Can be taken along with REL
290-01, "Death," or independently).

It's election season! You and your Roman friends are running a
campaign for the highest office in the land - consul. But what
does it take to win an election in the Roman Republic?
Endorsements, bribes, getting the gods on your side? In this
class, we not only learn the ins and outs of Roman elections but
also how politicians worked the system to gain power and
influence. We explore how social networking functioned in Ancient
Rome, what role religion played, how much violence went on, and,
of course, how ancient elections compare to those we hold today.
You will be exploring all of this as you and your team of
partisans run your own in-class campaign for political office.

Writing is arguably the greatest human invention. It allows us to
communicate thoughts and feelings across time and space, preserve
and build treasuries of knowledge, and give expression to highly
complex ideas. Without it, humans would have no way of
efficiently governing large and complex societies, no recorded
history, no sacred texts, etc. In this class, we explore the
origin and evolution of this remarkable technology, examining the
similarities and differences between various ancient writing
systems and their latest descendants, from computer code to
emojis. Along the way, we'll play with scripts by creating our
own ciphers, exploring the strange world of alphabetic mysticism,
and even using Wabash's collection of 4000-year-old cuneiform
tablets to make our own clay replicas.

Behavioral Economics, a relatively new field in economic theory,
attempts to bridge the divide between the classical microeconomic
model and what we observe in the real world. In this class, we
will explore concepts like mental accounting (or why my bank
account never seems to have as much money in it as I remember),
hyperbolic discounting (or why I keep hitting the snooze button
on my alarm clock), reciprocity (or why I charge less to people I
know better), and prospect theory (or why I weigh my fear of
getting a C on an exam much more than my joy of getting an A on
it), among other topics.

This interdisciplinary course focuses on many asspects of
Inequality and Growth in Latin America and will include an
immersion trip component to Costa Rica. Among the main goals for
the course are the following: develop understanding of the
economic situation on the continent and in the particular
courntry, use economic theories and data to explore racial and
income discrimination (and discrimination more broadly) in Latin
America, and developing understanding of a tight conection
between economic growth and inequality outcomes.
Developing an understanding of the historical background will
serve as a starting point to examine economic policies and
realities related to few basic economic concepts, such as
inflation, poverty, stabilization, and debt. The region has
experienced a variety of interesting economic conditions from
monetary union to tequila effect, from rapid growth to poor
growth in resource riche environments. Therefore, it lends itself
well for a variety of country case studies as they relate to
economic theories. In addition to broader overview, we will spend
substantial time studying exchange rate experience of Argentina
and data sources available for information on these countries.
Some knowledge of Spanish and Economica/PPE will be adventagous
for students in this class.

With an eye toward issues of equity and justice within and across
public schools and their communities in rural, suburban, and
urban settings, students in this course will explore the various
elements of historical, cultural, economic, social, and political
influences that shape public education in the U.S. For example,
students will be introduced to the ways in which socioeconomic
(poverty/wealth) diversity and sociocultural (racial/ethnic)
diversity within schools and communities characterize public
schools in different settings. As part of an investigation into
how public schools function in rural, suburban, and urban
communities, the class will focus on the ways in which community
dynamics can exacerbate inequities at the same time provide
support and resources for a more just and equitable public school
experience. Students will study how different school districts
within urban, rural, and suburban communities characterized by
distinctive demographics also have different needs and resources,
which determine schools' unique curricular and programmatic
offerings. For example, case studies of school districts will
enable students to consider questions such as: what are relevant
vocational program options for suburban and urban schools? And
how do agricultural education programs in rural schools serve
those communities? Students will also consider how achievement
data and socio-economic data across the three different school
and community settings lead us to questions of equity and
justice. In addition to course texts (including academic books
and articles, case studies, documentaries, and podcasts),
school/community field trips, guest speakers, and a variety of
assignments will further enable students to rethink the range of
opportunities and challenges that are uniquely characteristic of
public schools and communities in rural, suburban, and urban
settings.

From Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball to Sui Ishida's
Tokyo Ghoul, manga and anime have earned a
reputation for being globally influential mediums
of literature and entertainment. Manga
storytellers often use their works to interrogate
complex themes, issues, and queries of humanity,
technology, gender, race, existential beliefs, and
culture. Likewise, anime adaptations make use of
cinematic visual storytelling to expand on the
source material of manga stories with voice acting
and music to increase the thematic depth and
audience immersion. This course will feature a
wide selection of manga and anime and consider
what can be learned from understanding their
narrative dimensions. Texts will range from Dragon
Ball and Sailor Moon to Haikyuu, Fullmetal
Alchemist, and Tokyo Ghoul. The material for the
course will be read/viewed in translation, so it
is not necessary to know Japanese to take this

Inspired by the American Revolution and the founding of an
independent American republic, French revolutionaries built their
model of a new state upon the principals of freedom (la liberté),
equality (l'égalité), and fraternity (la fraternité). But, as in
the United States, these enshrined ideals have been far from the
realities of common experience. Through political treatises,
essays, works of literature, and film, this course will trace the
paradoxes and contradictions that emerge as the ideal of
fraternité clashes with oppressive regimes, economic disparity,
misogyny, colonialism, xenophobia, homophobia, and racism. A
guiding question in this course will be how works of literature
centered on questions of social justice lend themselves so well
to the screen and stage, and we will end with a look at the
prevalence of social justice themes in contemporary film. We will
also consider the ways in which American and French ideals of
fraternity harmonize or clash with each other. Authors and film
directors include Voltaire, Victor Hugo, George Sand, Emile Zola,
Jean-Paul Sartre, and Ladj Ly.
This course will be taught in English, and we will use English
translations of French texts. Those taking the course for credit
towards the French major or minor will be expected to do the
readings and written assignments in French.

"What tales might those pictures tell," the poet Walt Whitman
once asked, "if their mute lips had the power of speech?" In
English 350/ART 210, we'll explore how writers and artists have
answered that question in the years since photography's invention
in 1839. Nothing before photography had so accurately represented
the natural world. How would the talkative text respond to the
silent image? How does literature compete with photography's
beauty and presumed factuality? And is it helpful, in answering
these questions, to remember photography's etymology-writing with
light? This semester, we'll read from the 19th century to the
21st, looking at poems, essays, stories, and criticism that
respond to photography. We'll look at photographs and photobooks.
We'll consider various ways that photography and literature
intersect, including author photos, illustrations, captions,
photo albums, and sequential art. Writers and photographers will
include: Walt Whitman, James Agee, Carrie Mae Weems, Walker
Evans, Natasha Trethewey, Duane Michals, Emily Dickinson, Allen
Ginsberg, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, and others. We'll ground
ourselves with Susan Sontag's On Photography. We'll learn from
Roland Barthes that all photographers are "agents of death"
(Camera Lucida). Projects include analyzing images from Wabash's
archives and class presentations on new photographers.

FRE-277-01 Social Justice in Mod France |
Quandt K |
TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
FRE-277-01=ENG-270-01
Inspired by the American Revolution and the founding of an
independent American republic, French revolutionaries built their
model of a new state upon the principals of freedom (la liberté),
equality (l'égalité), and fraternity (la fraternité). But, as in
the United States, these enshrined ideals have been far from the
realities of common experience. Through political treatises,
essays, works of literature, and film, this course will trace the
paradoxes and contradictions that emerge as the ideal of
fraternité clashes with oppressive regimes, economic disparity,
misogyny, colonialism, xenophobia, homophobia, and racism. A
guiding question in this course will be how works of literature
centered on questions of social justice lend themselves so well
to the screen and stage, and we will end with a look at the
prevalence of social justice themes in contemporary film. We will
also consider the ways in which American and French ideals of
fraternity harmonize or clash with each other. Authors and film
directors include Voltaire, Victor Hugo, George Sand, Emile Zola,
Jean-Paul Sartre, and Ladj Ly.
This course will be taught in English, and we will use English
translations of French texts. Those taking the course for credit
towards the French major or minor will be expected to do the
readings and written assignments in French.

Barnes R |
TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
When faced with life's hardships, many ancient people turned to
magic in the hope of influencing the world around them. For some,
magic offered an expedient solution to a meddlesome rival, a sore
throat, or a broken heart. For others, it offered an avenue for
transcending this world altogether. This course examines the
widespread and diverse practice of magic in the ancient world,
from the times of Homer to the early days of Christianity. We
will read and discuss actual ancient curse text, love charms,
protective amulets, magical recipe books, and much more.

FRT-101-02 Music, Language of the Gods |
Campbell W |
TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
In the ancient world, music was thought to be a divine language,
the breath of the gods. This language was accessible through
instruments played in obedience to the mathematical laws that
govern the cosmos as whole. Music was less our creation than a
part of nature itself, awaiting our discovery. Though our Spotify
playlists lack this rich enchantment, we generally recognize the
unique and perhaps transcendent affect music has upon us. If
music is more than vibrations, what is that 'more'? In this
course we will study music from a variety of disciplinary
perspectives: psychology, philosophy, history, economy, and
biography. What happens to our brains when we listen to music?
How does music shape and give substance to our memories? How is
music currently made and monetized? Did the invention of
headphones give music new capabilities to shape our
self-conceptions? How might we listen to music differently?

Cherry J |

09:45AM - 11:00AM |
"Here we are now / entertain us"
We look back at the1990s today with a deep sense of nostalgia for
a seemingly-simpler time: AOL! Tamagotchis! Brick-sized Cell
Phones! By today's standards, it feels like a period of relative
peace and security in the United States, one situated between two
momentous collapses: The Berlin Wall in 1989 (which effectively
ended the Soviet Union and the bipolar world order) and The World
Trade Center in 2001 (which began the Global War on Terror and
led to the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan). It was a time that
cultural critic Chuck Klosterman has recently described as "a
period when the world was starting to go crazy, but not so crazy
that it was unmanageable or irreparable."
Many of the issues we grapple with today can be seen in their
nascent forms in the 1990s. The impeachment of Bill Clinton, the
scorched-earth tactics of Newt Gingrich, and populist rhetoric of
Rush Limbaugh pre-sage our fractious, tribalist politics.
Domestic terrorism commanded the newly-minted "24-hour news
cycles" following the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993,
and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. The mass shooting at
Columbine High School ignited a nation-wide debate about gun
control and mental health before the carnage of Virginia Tech,
Parkland, and Sandy Hook. The complexity of race relations in
America were underscored by the O.J. Simpson trial, Rodney King
verdict, the L.A. Riots, and the rise of hip hop as a dominant
popular musical form. The 90s were a period of optimism about a
technological future when the analog gave way to the digital, and
the internet existed before social media. At the same time novels
(Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, Primary Colors by Joe
Klein/Anonymous), films (Pulp Fiction, Clerks, Kids), and music
(gangsta rap, grunge, electronica) saw characters and artists
grappling with knee-jerk cynicism, systemic poverty and racism,
fear, apathy, and the construction of identity and reality. In
this class, we will examine the last decade of the twentieth
century as a historical period, filled with portents of the
challenges seen in the first decades of the twenty-first.

What makes a hero? For thousands of years, epic poetry provided a
vehicle for ancient societies to explore essential human
questions, such as the nature of heroism, the obligations of
individuals to their communities, and the balance between free
will and fate. Over the course of the semester, we will read
Homer's Iliad, the oldest epic poem from Ancient Greece and one
of the most famous literary depictions of warfare ever recorded.
By following the trials and tribulations of the Greeks and
Trojans in their ninth year at war, we will grapple with
questions of honor, justice, gender, and memory that continue to
reverberate in modern literature and culture.

FRT-101-07 American Democracy in Crisis |
Himsel S |
TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
Americans seem more divided than ever before. Increasingly, we
disagree not only about the issues but also basic facts. Our
disagreements have even led to violence, including after our last
Presidential election. Why are we so divided? Can we unite? Could
we draw upon our Founders' wisdom to help answer these questions?
The Founders' experience may seem irrelevant because they were
much more successful. After all, they defeated the world's
mightiest empire, established the first successful large-scale
democracy, and ensured a level of liberty previously unknown. But
the Founders were also real people with serious faults. As one
historian describes them, "they could write like angels and
scheme like demons." For example, the Founders largely dodged the
issue of slavery, subjected Native Americans to what would become
a form of genocide, and at times attacked one another as
ferociously as today's political leaders. Indeed, efforts to
decide our first two-party Presidential election in 1800 between
Founders John Adams and Thomas Jefferson almost turned into a
riot. By treating the Founders as real people and drawing on
their dramatic experiences, we will try to learn how we can
unite, or at least disagree more productively, about the issues
that divide us so deeply today.

It seems that everyone wants to be a "success," that everyone
wants to be "happy." But what is success? And what is it that
makes people happy? In this class we will explore our own and
others' definitions of success (and failure) and consider how our
beliefs about happiness converge (or not) with people's lived
experiences. We will talk to members of the Wabash community:
faculty, staff, and other students; read from a variety of genres
(fiction and non-fiction books, philosophical essays, scientific
papers, etc.); and write a lot, in the service of summarizing
information, analyzing texts, and expressing our own experiences
and thoughts. As we work, we will keep an eye on how we can
pursue goals that matter, for both ourselves and others, and can
create a better way of being in the world, maybe by thinking less
about being happy.

FRT-101-09 To Hell & Back With Dante |
Lamberton J |
TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
Dante Alighieri's La Divina Commedia (in English, The Divine
Comedy) is a three-volume epic poem about a pilgrim named "Dante"
who finds himself lost in the middle of his life. He embarks on
a journey to find-what, exactly?
. Revenge
. Himself
. His first love
. Home
. Salvation
. God
Each of these answers is correct, yet none is sufficient. The
Divine Comedy is a pilgrimage narrative, and, like all pilgrimage
narratives, the ultimate goal of spiritual enlightenment is
attainable only through physical travel. With Dante, then, we
will hike through hell, purgatory, and heaven-but also deep into
the world of Medieval Christianity and Medieval Florence,
learning something about the people, places, beliefs, and
questions that moved the spiritual seekers of the middle ages.

The gathering of hundreds or thousands of people has occurred for

crowds in modern history. We'll focus on a few cases from around
the world, exploring crowds' contradictory aims, complex
behaviors, and impact on social belonging. Why are some crowds
celebrated while others are denounced as "mobs"? For whom is the
crowd liberating-a chance to resist oppression, build community,
or escape the daily grind-and for whom is the crowd repressive-a
violent misrepresentation of "the people"? We'll learn from
historians, scientists, journalists, and our own Wabash
experiences what crowds can teach us about human society and how
to improve it.

Philosophy, or the love of wisdom, begins when people wonder. It
begins when, instead of looking at things from a practical
perspective, we wonder about why things are the way they are and
not some way different. Most cultures have asked these kinds of
questions and have offered systematic explanations to try to
answer them. In this course, we will consider questions regarding
the nature of reality, what it means to live a good life, and
what should be our human relation with the world from the
perspective of different philosophical traditions from around the
world. We will cover Confucianism, Buddhism, Bantu philosophy,
Greek philosophy, and indigenous philosophies from the Americas.
The course aims to cultivate students' sense of wonder by
considering the way things could be from different world
perspectives.

several readings and films that portray the undead in a variety
of ways. We will uncover how undead fiction addresses the
mystique, power, and fear associated with the supernatural,
science, authority, disease, morality, sex, and violence.
Critical discussion of these fictional works will reveal a great
deal about ourselves and the hopes and fears of society. The
course will challenge students to dig deep and use their
"braaaaaainsss" as they tackle engaging stories about zombies,
vampires, ghouls, etc. Course assignments and activities are
aimed to help students develop critical reading, writing,
discussion, and oral presentation skills that are essential to

Schmitzer-Torbert N |
TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
Imagine you've created a machine that is able to make an exact,
physical copy of any object. However, the process of making the
copy requires that the machine destroys the original. So, if you
put your phone in and turn on the machine, the phone is instantly
vaporized. But, in another compartment you find an exact
duplicate of your device. Such a machine would be quite
interesting, but we might imagine that it has little practical
value.
However, what happens if you step into the machine, and turn it
on? You are instantly (and, let's assume painlessly!) vaporized,
and out of the second compartment steps your exact duplicate. Who
is this duplicate? Does he think he is you? If he does, then are
you actually dead? What if the machine malfunctions and you are
not vaporized: are you and your duplicate both "you"? If you then
kill your duplicate, was there in fact a murder? What if he kills
you?
In this class, we will take these types of thought experiments
seriously, and use them to look carefully at the problem of self,
and what it means to be a person. Through works of science
fiction, philosophical thought experiments, and stories about the
lives of humans with brain damage, we will try to locate our "I",
our sense of self. We will also look at how gender, sexuality and
other characteristics impact our personal identity. Finally, we
will look beyond our own selves to examine other kinds of
persons, such as aliens, artificial intelligences and genetically
modified humans, who we might share the world with someday.
Some of the texts we will read include Brok's Into the Silent
Land, selections from philosophical approaches to the self, and a
number of science fiction short stories and novels (such as The
Mote in God's Eye and Ancillary Justice), and watch several films
in the course, including The Thirteenth Floor. Throughout the
course, we will look at the state of current research, to better
assess which science fiction futures are likely to become reality
in our lifetimes.

TU TH

Prerequisites: GER-301 and GER-302
Heimat, Krimi, Wald
In this course, students will explore the literary representation
and cultural history of topics that seem especially or uniquely
German. We will begin with the Wald, or forest, and the role that
it played in Early German Romanticism in the late eighteenth and
early nineteenth century. The Wald serves as an important
artistic locus for lyric poetry but also for music, narrative,
and visual art. We will then turn to the genre of the
Kriminalgeschichte or Krimi and the outsize position that it has
long occupied in popular German culture. In particular, we will
consider the Krimi as a means of negotiating a post-war,
multiethnic German identity. Finally, we will examine the curious
concept of Heimat, a word that we render in English as "homeland"
but that Germans will tell you is essentially untranslatable.
We'll read Nora Krug's excellent graphic novel and family memoir
Heimat as a window onto the entanglement of homeland, history,
and personal identity. Through each topic, we will focus on both
the critical analysis of literary works and the examination of
broader cultural concepts (e.g., Kultur vs. Natur,
Kollektivschuld, Assimilation vs. Integration,
Vergangenheitsbearbeitung).

GHL-219-01 Drugs & Society in Modern Hist |

01:10PM - 02:00PM |
HIS-200-02=GHL-219-01
What is a drug? This course examines the history of drugs in
society by first asking what a drug or intoxicant might be. The
class will then consider how different societies have accepted or
rejected drugs based on their usefulness or danger to the social
order. We will examine changing cultural attitudes toward drugs,
the rise of modern drug regulation, and the development of the
pharmaceutical drug. For example, why did drinking coffee and tea
become an accepted activity, but smoking opium was increasingly
frowned upon during the nineteenth century? Why did Viagra become
medically acceptable but mercury fell out of favor to treat
disease in the 20th century?
Key topics will include:
The growth and regulation of the opium trade in the 19th century
The cultural, economic, and social factors shaping alcohol
policies in the late 19th and early 20th centuries The
medicalization of drug use and the development of the
pharmaceutical industry The impact of drug regulation and the
emergence of the global war on drugs in the 20th century
The historical interpretations of Cannabis, Alcohol (Tequila,
Absinthe), Meth, Viagra, Chocolate, etc. This course is suitable
for all students interested in history, drugs, sociology, and
public health! By the end of the course, students will have
developed critical thinking and analytical skills to better
understand the historical relationships between drugs and
society. There is no immersion trip associated with this course,
but to be blunt, students will have a daily dose of reading and
discussion in addition to short assignments and two exams.

It's election season! You and your Roman friends are running a
campaign for the highest office in the land - consul. But what
does it take to win an election in the Roman Republic?
Endorsements, bribes, getting the gods on your side? In this
class, we not only learn the ins and outs of Roman elections but
also how politicians worked the system to gain power and
influence. We explore how social networking functioned in Ancient
Rome, what role religion played, how much violence went on, and,
of course, how ancient elections compare to those we hold today.
You will be exploring all of this as you and your team of
partisans run your own in-class campaign for political office.

Writing is arguably the greatest human invention. It allows us to
communicate thoughts and feelings across time and space, preserve
and build treasuries of knowledge, and give expression to highly
complex ideas. Without it, humans would have no way of
efficiently governing large and complex societies, no recorded
history, no sacred texts, etc. In this class, we explore the
origin and evolution of this remarkable technology, examining the
similarities and differences between various ancient writing
systems and their latest descendants, from computer code to
emojis. Along the way, we'll play with scripts by creating our
own ciphers, exploring the strange world of alphabetic mysticism,
and even using Wabash's collection of 4000-year-old cuneiform
tablets to make our own clay replicas.

HIS-230-02 History of Masculinity |
Rhoades M |
M W F
11:00AM - 11:50AM |
This course examines evolving constructions of masculinity in
Europe from the mid-16th century to the present day, covering
historical transformations, ideologies, and representations of
masculinity within the European.
Class begins by examining the traditional ideals of masculinity
prevalent in the 16th century and expectations placed on men to
craft families and fortunes. We then move to an exploration of
how social, political, and economic changes during the
Enlightenment and Industrial Revolution impacted masculine
identities and the expectations placed on men. Students will
investigate how masculinity was shaped by medicine, nationalism,
imperialism, and revolution, as well as by shifts in labor
patterns and family structures.
Moving deeper into the 19th century, we will face down challenges
brought by feminist movements, as well as the impact of
scientific developments on understandings of sex and gender.
Themes such as the "cult of domesticity," militarism, and
colonial masculinity will be explored. In medicine we will
discuss the importance of men's health to a national audience.
Readings for the tumultuous 20th century, examine the impact of
two World Wars, totalitarian regimes, and rapid social changes on
masculine identities. Topics include the rise of fascism (Nazism)
and its glorification of hyper-masculinity, the effects of mass
media on shaping masculine ideals, and the challenges to
traditional masculinity posed by post-war reconstructions.
In the contemporary era, the course analyzes the ongoing
transformations of masculinity in response to the introduction of
condoms and "the pill", globalization, neoliberalism, and
changing gender norms. Finally, students will explore new
representations of masculinity, including those in LGBTQ+
communities, in hegemonic masculinity, and the influence of
consumer culture and digital technologies on men.
Students will explore a combination of primary sources and
scholarly readings. Classes will consist of discussion and
lecture. Throughout, we will explore how masculinity has been
constructed, contested, and renegotiated to shape societies and
the power dynamics in the modern human experience.

HIS-240-02 Digitizing Immigration History |

02:40PM - 03:55PM |
How has the Internet changed what we know about the past? In this
hands-on course, we'll answer that question by focusing on the
history of immigration in the US. We'll roll up our sleeves and
collaboratively play (and sometimes fail) with digital
technology, interrogating search engines and AI chatbots,
exploring digital archives, and looking under the hoods of
mapping, textual analysis, and network visualization projects.
Throughout, we'll think about the methodological implications of
doing immigration history online, including the ethical
challenges of sharing immigrants' stories and reducing human
lives to data. We'll conclude the semester with a Web-based,
student-designed, group research project related to the history
of immigration. No experience in computer science, digital media,
immigration studies, or history required, although an interest in
at least one of these is recommended!

HIS-330-01 Nazi "Special Path" to War |
Rhoades M |
TU TH
01:10PM - 02:25PM |
0.5 credits from HIS.
This seminar explores Nazi Germany through the Sonderweg (special
path) thesis. Developed by historians, the controversial
Sonderweg thesis asserts that Germany followed a unique
trajectory of political and economic development in the 19th and
early 20th centuries distinct from Western Europe, setting the
stage for Nazism.
The course begins by tracing the origins and core arguments of
the Sonderweg thesis, examining how historians have characterized
Imperial and Weimar Germany as deviating from Western norms of
capitalist democracy and rule of law. It then explores scholarly
debates around the validity of the idea that Germany had a
"special path" divergent from the West.
Students in the course will analyze primary sources and
historical works that support and contradict the Sonderweg
interpretation to address some of the following questions. What
were the unique factors that gave rise to Hitler's movement? To
what extent did Nazi ideology and institutions have indigenous
roots? Why did Nazi rule culminate in unprecedented genocide? Did
modern communications support the rise of Nazism? Was warfare
inevitable? Through discussion, students will arrive at their own
conclusions about the roots of Nazism and Germany's departure
from or continuity with European norms. Finally, they will
reflect on the legacy of the Sonderweg thesis for historians'
current understanding of German and European history.
This seminar focuses on debate and discussion, culminating in a
short research paper on some aspect of the "special path"
interpretation of German history.

Prerequisite: One 200 level History course
From The Bachelor, November 22, 1957:
"John Banghart, Sig councilman and one-man committee on the
jukebox situation, reported that the Campus Center Board decided
to try to get a replacement for the nickelodeon recently removed
for lack of profit. The replacement, if obtained, would require a
dime per play and would contain only "screened" records
(classical, semi-classical, jazz, popular-"no rock 'n roll" )."
Rock and Roll hit the airwaves of American in the mid-1950s as
Bill Haley and the Comets, Elvis Presley, and Chuck Berry rocked
the post-war teenage generation. Did Wabash College resist the
wave? In this research seminar, with extensive work in the
Wabash Archives, we will study both the history of popular music
from 1955 to the 1970s and how it manifested on campus as well as
on the airwaves and television set. Our focus is not only
developments in the music but also social and cultural changes in
the US, particularly in terms of race. How did this play out on
the national stage--and in Crawfordsville, Indiana?

This interdisciplinary course focuses on many asspects of
Inequality and Growth in Latin America and will include an
immersion trip component to Costa Rica. Among the main goals for
the course are the following: develop understanding of the
economic situation on the continent and in the particular
courntry, use economic theories and data to explore racial and
income discrimination (and discrimination more broadly) in Latin
America, and developing understanding of a tight conection
between economic growth and inequality outcomes.
Developing an understanding of the historical background will
serve as a starting point to examine economic policies and
realities related to few basic economic concepts, such as
inflation, poverty, stabilization, and debt. The region has
experienced a variety of interesting economic conditions from
monetary union to tequila effect, from rapid growth to poor
growth in resource riche environments. Therefore, it lends itself
well for a variety of country case studies as they relate to
economic theories. In addition to broader overview, we will spend
substantial time studying exchange rate experience of Argentina
and data sources available for information on these countries.
Some knowledge of Spanish and Economica/PPE will be adventagous
for students in this class.

PHI-109-01 Introduction to Philosophy |
Carlson M |
M W F
10:00AM - 10:50AM |
Could a computer genuinely think? Are we in a simulation? Is
there a God? Are we free to choose how we will act in the world?
What do we owe to one another, and to ourselves? Is it really a
good idea to think critically, or should we trust what experts
tell us? Could a banana duct-taped to a wall really be a work of
art? How would you go about answering these questions?
Philosophers think through these questions, and many others, by
developing and critiquing arguments for possible answers to them.
This course will serve as an introduction to philosophy via an
in-depth study of philosophical arguments such as these. In the
course, you will learn to use argument-mapping software to
clearly and precisely articulate the structure of philosophical
arguments so that you can understand and evaluate them more
effectively. In addition to introducing you to some fascinating
philosophical topics, this course will greatly improve your
skills in reading and writing texts (including articles and
papers for other classes!) that contain arguments.

Carlson M |
M W F
01:10PM - 02:00PM |
Here are some things that I take myself to know. The world around
me is real, and not merely a simulation. The universe is billions
of years old, and did not come into existence five minutes ago.
Antarctica is a continent, but the Arctic is not. There are 211
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives. The sun will
rise tomorrow. But how do I know those things? What reliable
information can I really have about the world around me? These
questions are made particularly pressing by the existence of
philosophical skepticism, according to which it is impossible for
us to know what the world around us is actually like. Despite
skepticism's absurd appearance, it is of enduring interest
because of the power of the arguments in favor of it. Thus, to
study skepticism, we will direct most of our attention to the
careful study of arguments. The arguments we study will come from
classic and contemporary philosophical works, and we will study
them by using software called MindMup to map their structure.
This will put us in a position to understand and evaluate these
skeptical arguments, with an eye toward determining how we can
have knowledge of the world around us.

One prior course in Philosophy
PHI-319-01=PPE-329-01
This course will focus on the legitimacy of
social institutions, or what makes social institutions just or
unjust. The problem of legitimacy becomes particularly important
for modern philosophers who conceive of the social world as
historically contingent, which means that it could have been
otherwise. This means that nothing justifies us in preferring our
present social arrangements to any other social arrangements.
Moreover, since social institutions involve power relations, then
there seems to be no source of legitimacy that would make these
power relations just as opposed to arbitrary and unjust. The
course will focus on how we legitimize social institutions as
well as on the norms that serve to criticize power relations as
just or unjust.
The course will take the form of an in-depth
study of 19th and 20th century social and political philosophers.
We will particularly focus on the work of G.W.F. Hegel and Karl
Marx from the 19th century, and Michel Foucault and Enrique
Dussel from the 20th century. These philosophers will help us
raise questions regarding rights and the state, punishment,
science and power, as well as globalization and colonialism.

02:10PM - 03:25PM |
David Hume (1711-1776) was a central figure in the "Scottish
Enlightenment" of the 18th century, and stands today as one of
the most important and influential thinkers in the Western
philosophical tradition. Hume produced groundbreaking new
approaches in many areas of philosophical inquiry, including
knowledge, morality, and the relationship between philosophy and
science. While many of his arguments were, and are, disturbing to
established systems of thought, the eloquence and intellectual
integrity with which he made those arguments is beyond reproach.
In this course, we will study some of Hume's central
contributions to epistemology, ethics, and the study of human
behavior by close and careful examination of his most important
philosophical works, A Treatise of Human Nature and Enquiries
Concerning Human Understanding and Concerning the Principles of
Morals. This course is required for senior philosophy majors, but
is open to other students.

Trade politics are a complex nexus of domestic and international
politics, economic conditions, global and regional institutions,
business interests, and civil society. This course aims to
provide an understanding of trade politics in the Asia-Pacific
region - the largest market and manufacturing base in the world.
The course introduces the latest developments in the Pacific Rim
by reviewing cutting-edge research. The first half of the course
covers trade policy preferences of Asia-Pacific countries,
intraregional and extra-regional free trade agreements, and the
political implications of Asia-Pacific's key position in the
global supply chain. Specifically, we will analyze trade politics
between Australia, China, Mexico, Peru, South Korea, and the
United States. The second half of the course focuses on the
politics of multinational corporations, foreign direct
investment, trade in services, and digital trade. We will then
examine the impacts of global trade on Asia-Pacific's labor
rights, development, and environment. There are no prerequisites
for this class as we will go over the trade models throughout the
semester if needed.

Most conflicts today take place within states - either between
governments and civilians or among different groups in the
country. This course combines theories from international
relations and comparative politics to examine a broad range of
topics related to political violence. We will discuss various
forms of domestic conflicts, including antigovernment protests,
riots, state repression, civil war, terrorism, coups, electoral
violence, and conflict-related sexual violence. We will also
investigate the aftermath of conflicts and international
interventions in these conflicts.
This class is not a history class or a class on current events;
instead, the focus will be on understanding the interests of
important actors in political conflicts and the arenas in which
these actors interact. At the conclusion of this course, students
will be able to: (1) evaluate scientific explanations and key
concepts of political violence and nonviolence; (2) explain the
causes and consequences of various forms of internal conflicts;
(3) understand how the international community deals with the
conflicts; (4) apply theoretical approaches to analyze current
events and make predictions about future developments; and (5)
express ideas in a professional way on several topics and write
an original paper.

hyperbolic discounting (or why I keep hitting the snooze button
on my alarm clock), reciprocity (or why I charge less to people I

ECO-101
The Marginal Revolution (late 19th century) was a critical moment
in the history of economic thought. For the first time,
professional economic theorists developed and possessed a
consistent theory to explain and understand the machinations of
rational decision makers, market dynamics and the pricing system.
Since then, the related fields of microeconomic theory and
applied political economy have expanded and developed a variety
of theoretical insights along-side real and historic applications
including but not limited to: an advanced model of consumer
behavior, an industrial organizational model of firms, a
framework for understanding international trade, business cycles,
positive political economy and developmental economics. Students
will read and gain a working understanding of the historical
context and intellectual substance of the marginal revolution, as
well as they will survey and apply insights from subsequent
applications and debates.

This interdisciplinary course focuses on many asspects of
Inequality and Growth in Latin America and will include an
immersion trip component to Costa Rica. Among the main goals for
the course are the following: develop understanding of the
economic situation on the continent and in the particular
courntry, use economic theories and data to explore racial and
income discrimination (and discrimination more broadly) in Latin
America, and developing understanding of a tight conection
between economic growth and inequality outcomes.
Developing an understanding of the historical background will
serve as a starting point to examine economic policies and
realities related to few basic economic concepts, such as
inflation, poverty, stabilization, and debt. The region has
experienced a variety of interesting economic conditions from
monetary union to tequila effect, from rapid growth to poor
growth in resource riche environments. Therefore, it lends itself
well for a variety of country case studies as they relate to
economic theories. In addition to broader overview, we will spend
substantial time studying exchange rate experience of Argentina
and data sources available for information on these countries.
Some knowledge of Spanish and Economica/PPE will be adventagous
for students in this class.

Gelbman S |
TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
For months - if not years - before elections, commercial
pollsters, campaign strategists, and academic survey researchers
constantly query population samples in order to get a handle on
what the American public thinks about issues, candidates, and
campaign developments. This course takes a peek behind the
curtain to examine how public opinion polls are conducted, the
challenges pollsters face in their efforts to accurately measure
the attitudes and beliefs of large populations, best practices
for media reporting on poll results, and the relationship between
public opinion polling and democracy. Students will follow 2024
election polling in real time, conduct an exit poll, and promote
polling literacy within the campus and local communities.

PSC-220-01=PPE-238-02
Most conflicts today take place within states - either between
governments and civilians or among different groups in the
country. This course combines theories from international
relations and comparative politics to examine a broad range of
topics related to political violence. We will discuss various
forms of domestic conflicts, including antigovernment protests,
riots, state repression, civil war, terrorism, coups, electoral
violence, and conflict-related sexual violence. We will also
investigate the aftermath of conflicts and international
interventions in these conflicts.
This class is not a history class or a class on current events;
instead, the focus will be on understanding the interests of
important actors in political conflicts and the arenas in which
these actors interact. At the conclusion of this course, students
will be able to: (1) evaluate scientific explanations and key
concepts of political violence and nonviolence; (2) explain the
causes and consequences of various forms of internal conflicts;
(3) understand how the international community deals with the
conflicts; (4) apply theoretical approaches to analyze current
events and make predictions about future developments; and (5)
express ideas in a professional way on several topics and write
an original paper.

Trade politics are a complex nexus of domestic and international
politics, economic conditions, global and regional institutions,
business interests, and civil society. This course aims to
provide an understanding of trade politics in the Asia-Pacific
region - the largest market and manufacturing base in the world.
The course introduces the latest developments in the Pacific Rim
by reviewing cutting-edge research. The first half of the course
covers trade policy preferences of Asia-Pacific countries,
intraregional and extra-regional free trade agreements, and the
political implications of Asia-Pacific's key position in the
global supply chain. Specifically, we will analyze trade politics
between Australia, China, Mexico, Peru, South Korea, and the
United States. The second half of the course focuses on the
politics of multinational corporations, foreign direct
investment, trade in services, and digital trade. We will then
examine the impacts of global trade on Asia-Pacific's labor
rights, development, and environment. There are no prerequisites
for this class as we will go over the trade models throughout the
semester if needed.

Mindfulness has become increasingly popular in programs to help
support health and wellness. Studies of mindfulness programs have
focused on a range of potential benefits, from stress reduction
and managing blood pressure, to helping with substance abuse and
sleep quality. In this course, we focus on the psychology of
stress and focus on developing mindfulness through practices
drawn from Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR), adapted for
the college classroom. We will also consider how mindfulness
today (which is often presented as set of secular tools) has
roots in several contemplative traditions. Class activities will
focus heavily on active participation in components MBSR and
application of mindfulness to our daily life.

Can religious beliefs by adequately analyzed or explained by
cognitive science? If so, how and to what extent? If not, why
not? These are the questions that this course will address. The
relatively new field of cognitive science is the scientific study
of the human mind, drawing on fields like psychology,
anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and neuroscience. The
course has 3 parts. First, we'll read what some cognitive
scientists have to say about religion, e.g. Pascal Boyer,
Religion Explained: The Evolutionary Origins of Religious
Thought. Second, we'll read some philosophical and theological
critiques of these ideas. Third, in light of these critiques,
we'll consider their adequacy to the task of analyzing or
explaining religious beliefs.

This discussion course examines the nature and contours of
religion in the U.S. today and in recent decades. The American
religious atmosphere is undergoing significant changes, from the
diminishment of denominationalism and associated religious
identities, to individualized bespoke spirituality and the
substantial recent growth of "nones" (people with no declared
religious affiliation). We will situate such changes
historically, but our main focus will be analyzing the current
landscape and its meaning for collective and individual
religiosity, as well as for American culture and society
generally. We will cover a diverse range of religious
expressions, from more traditional to newer forms of religiosity.

REL-290-01=CLA-111-01
1st Half Semester Course
In this half semester course, we will go on a little 'Tour of
Hell', so to speak, and explore a wide array of underworld
conceptions in ancient Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Christian
sources. Why? Ideas about death, the underworld, an afterlife in
general, are all historical not timeless, and exploring that
history allows us to engage our own ideas about death more
actively. In our time, we keep death at a firm distance,
isolating it into the clinical space. It is the domain of
professionals. For the ancients, death was part of life and there
is a substantial ancient literary tradition of 'descending' to
visit the underworld; to observe, search, behold, and, sometimes,
to escape. The theologies and social histories of hell are
dynamic and shifting and we aim to trace that dynamism in order
to gain understanding of the history and power of hellish ideas.
In addition to classroom discussions, expect to visit a cemetery,
a morgue, and an epic trick-or-treat event. (Can be taken along
with REL 290-02, "Afterlife," or independently).

2nd Half Semester Course
Conceptions of afterlife frequently govern our 'now'-life,
providing it with meaning and an overarching logic. Yet, we
rarely pause to consider where our ideas about the afterlife come
from, not to mention the historical events, social histories, and
philosophies that gave rise to views of the afterlife now held to
be obvious and timeless. There was a time 'before' heaven above,
resurrection of the body, the immortality of the soul, and even
angels. How do conceptions of the afterlife emerge, and what is
the range of those conceptions in the Jewish, Roman, and
Christian traditions? Moreover, how do these traditions mutually
inform one another? This course will detail ancient ideas about
the afterlife in a wide array of textual and archeological
tradition in conversation with our contemporary world. Will our
technology change our afterlife? (Can be taken along with REL

In the heart, it's intention; coming forth in words, it's
poetry." So says the "Preface" to the Book of Songs, the ancient
classic of Chinese poetry. In this course, we will read
selections (in English) from the Book of Songs, and later poets
like Li Bo [Li Bai], Du Fu, and Wang Wei. We will study how
Chinese poets use image and metaphor to convey their distinctive
ideas about nature, religion, and human life. On occasion, we
will also read Chinese poems alongside selected English-language
poems, comparing their techniques and aims. Absolutely no
knowledge of Chinese is required. This section of REL-296 can
apply as an elective for the Asian Studies minor. Fulfills LFA or
