This Honors colloquium covers topics in advanced international relations theory, including international hierarchy, Western and non-Western systems, the past of Western international order, encounters between Western and non-Western systems, and the past and future of the liberal world order.

Legalization of Amer Indians

Federal Indian law has a long and complex history in the United States, which can be traced back to the first encounters between European colonizers and Indigenous inhabitants. Fundamental to Indian rights is an understanding of who is or who is not a "Native American"? Perhaps more than any other ethnic group in our country, the cultural identity of Native Americans is uniquely central to the federal body of Indian law. This course will focus on ways that Native American group identity has been constructed, subverted, and/or challenged by the application of federal Indian law.

ST-Bias/American Legal System

The purpose of this course is to critically analyze how the American legal system functions, and how various forms of bias can infiltrate the legal system. To do this, we will examine the structure of the federal and state court systems; the processes by which civil and criminal disputes are handled; the work of police, lawyers, judges, and juries; and other salient topics.

S-Review of the Literature

In this course we will talk about what makes a good review for different purposes, how to conduct a rigorous and systematic review, how to analyze and synthesize research studies and how to write a coherent and compelling review. We will read about and talk through some of the ethical considerations involved in the process of writing and publishing a review. Another objective will be to help students prepare for the literature reviews that are part of their comprehensive exams, research proposals and dissertations.

Digi Tools & Apps/21st Cen St

This course will introduce students to various web-based tools and apps for teaching and learning. Through a blend of skills-based projects and discussions, students will learn how to critically examine the design, costs, and affordances of digital tools and apps in order to make informed decisions about using technology in education.

ST- Rethinking US Env Policy

This is a mixed undergrad/grad class that examines the ways our lives, places and environments are organized by policies and law, and the underlying economic, cultural and political reasons we have shaped policies and laws in the ways we have. We examine the structures and background history of law and policy often taken for granted, from the role of private property in American development to national forest "sustained yield" policies to the politics of waste and recycling, and we trace forward their tangible impacts on human communities and the environmental landscape.
