What is religion, and why do people care so much about it? This course will examine the origins and development of some of the world's major religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We will read sacred texts and travel to sites of worship. We will also consider how religion continues to shape current affairs. Students will prepare analytic essays, participate in group discussions, and attend off-campus field trips.

Topics course: According to a growing number of social theorists, and pretty much everybody else, we are living in an age of crisis. One of the critical tasks of our time is to develop interdisciplinary tools to analyze how environmental conditions, economic systems, technological developments, and political ideologies have sent us on a path of catastrophes: climate change, resource exhaustion, inequality, social fragmentation, and political repression.

Using chemical reactions to make quantitative predictions is a foundational skill in chemistry. This skill is
built on a set of quantitative approaches including dimensional analysis, reaction stoichiometry and
physical measurement. Students will build and refine these skills through both individual and group work
in a small class setting. This course is a co- or prerequisite for CHM 111; students will be recommended
for this course on the basis of a short placement exam. For these students successful completion of CHM

This laboratory is for students with strong preparation in chemistry and is a companion to CHM 114. Topics covered include solution chemistry and pH, visible spectroscopy, chemical quantification, inorganic complexes, and equilibrium. Students will develop a strong foundation of laboratory safety and chemistry lab techniques with a focus on iterative experimental design and careful observation. Students will also practice scientific communication skills via keeping a lab notebook, writing reports, and presenting to classmates.

An examination of the global dynamics and determinants of inequality in income and wealth and its interplay with economic growth, from antiquity to the present. Beginning with an overview of growth at the country level, the course moves to examine the division of income between labor and capital, inequality in capital ownership, and inequality in labor earnings, ending with a discussion of policy proposals to address increasing inequality.
