Course descriptions:

ª GLLC-G220 (31648)  Mobile Health: The movement of diseases, patients and healthcare providers (3 cr.) (GenEd S&H; CASE S&H) (TR, 9:30-10:45, FQ012A)  Heidi Bludau

This class will explore the intersection of globalization and health, through an examination of what or who moves, how it or they move, and how it or they influence the physical, mental, and spiritual state of those it or they impact.  We will consider 3 types of movement related to health: the movement of disease and treatment, the movement of patients, and the movement of healthcare workers.  Understanding that each of these areas is intimately connected to each other through various means, by separating them into categories, we can focus on specific mechanisms of each type of movement.  Throughout the course, we will consider the context of each case, exploring the multiple perspectives of each case, including how issues of class and status influence these mechanisms. NOTE: This section meets with Anth-A200 (32002).

ª GLLC-G210 (33719) Beyond the Looking-Glass: The Absurd in 20^th Century West and East European Theatre, Literature and Visual Arts  (3 cr.) (GenEd A&H; CASE A&H) (MW, 4:00-5:15 pm, FQ 012A)  Lina Khawaldah

This course traces M.Esslin’s notion of the absurd through major developments in 20^th century West and East European artistic culture and their interrelationship in a historical and socio-political context. We will explore the absurd through theatre, literature, film, and the visual arts in France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Russia, Poland, former Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria. We will draw parallels and contrasts in the treatment of the absurd in the West and the East, and discuss the theatre as a metaphor and theatricality and performance beyond the stage.

ª GLLC-G220 (24694) Immigration and Ethnic Identity  (3 cr.) (GenEd S&H; CASE S&H)  (TR, 1:00-2:15 pm, FQ 012B) Jeff Holdeman

In this course we will explore ways in which one's culture and identity (traditional and contemporary, from one's homeland and in one's new environment) can manifest themselves in art, music, food, clothing, language, social structure, religion, worldview, etc.  Students will also learn basic techniques of urban fieldwork in order to carry out interviews and projects later in the semester.  All of these will come together in the process of trying to answer what it means to be "ethnic" in America.  NOTE: This course is joint-listed with Hon-H238 (Honors).

ª COMING 2^nd 8-weeks: GLLC-G291 (TBA) Study Abroad: Before You Go (1 cr.) (2nd 8-weeks) (Time: TBA, FQ 012A) Julie Madewell
