This graduate seminar will introduce students to carceral studies, an interdisciplinary body of scholarship that takes the late twentieth century expansion of the U.S. prison system as its primary object of analysis. Drawing on a variety of sources - influential older articles and books, a growing literature on the prison system's historical development, and recent examinations of mass incarceration's "collateral consequences" - this course will provide a firm sense of the chronological, political, and institutional development of the U.S. carceral state.

This seminar has two goals: first, to introduce students to the views of Karl Marx on non-European societies, and second, to explore how Marx's general theories have been adopted and modified to address the circumstances of non-white peoples. The primary focus will be on writings produced in the western hemisphere by African Americans such as W.E.B. Du Bois, Cedric Robinson, Angela Davis and Harold Cruse; West Indians such as C.L.R. James, Sylvia Wynter, and Walter Rodney. We also will include writings by influential Latin American marxists such as Jose Carlos Mariategui.

This course aims at modeling the role of the context of utterance in the construction of linguistic meaning; it does so by - but not exclusively by - exploring the relation between truth-conditional and non truth-conditional content. We elucidate the notions of speech acts, discourse and utterance, and we concentrate on a small number of phenomena: presupposition and non at-issue content, implicatures, focus and questions.

This course investigates the language used in advertisements. Advertisements are designed to persuade us to do things. Our focus will be on how advertisers use language to convey meanings, how they appeal to our emotions and elicit humor. We will examine concrete examples and use basic concepts from linguistic theory to understand the properties of persuasive language and the kinds of meanings that are at play.
