Race and gender politics are deeply imbricated, constituting core dimensions of power, political subjectivities, and resistant identities. Race intersects with gender, along other vectors of power, determining individuals? and communities? rights, livelihoods, and life chances, restricting their access to cultural, political, monetary, and libidinal/sexual capital, and buttressing or undermining shifting strategies of domination and resistance.

This course functions as an introductory survey to neurobiology with a focus on cellular neuroscience. It provides a knowledge base for future advanced neuroscience courses. Topics within neuronal anatomy and physiology will be covered, including membrane potentials and neural transmission, sensory and motor systems, neuromodulatory and homeostatic systems.

This course examines an encompassing perspective of diversity within North American and International sport organizations. Specifically, the purpose of this course is to provide students with an analysis and understanding of the various ways that people within sport organizations can differ, and how differences based on this diversity impact life experiences and outcomes.

In this course, students will have a chance to reflect on their own life goals and aspirations, as well as those of others, and consider the role of gender, economic class, race, and culture in shaping these. Topics may include how social forces influence our desired careers and family life, and our visions for an ideal society.

Description and analysis of deformation and deformation processes at scales ranging from minerals to mountain belts. Emphasis on three-dimensional visualization of geologic features and practical solutions to structural problems relevant to industry and research. Students within the honors section take on individual or group projects that delve further into issues explored within the course. These projects typically culminate with presentations within the classroom or on the outcrop.

The honors colloquium that accompanies Geosciences 311 is a once-a-week meeting during which a paper about a timely topic in the field of mineralogy is discussed informally. Previous topics discussed during the honors colloquium include medical mineralogy, forensic mineralogy, supervolcano eruptions, mineral toxicity, mass extinction theories, and the illegal diamond trade.

This will be a one credit reading seminar focused on current topics in oceanography and marine science. Students will read one short paper from the current literature (newspapers, magazines, journals) or one book chapter per week. Topics will be chosen to focus particularly on issues of public interest such as global warming, coastal policy, marine ecology, etc. Students must also be enrolled in Geology 103. Seminars will be devoted to discussing the weekly readings and other topics of current interest. Recommended for first-year students and sophomores.

The oceans cover about 71% of Earth's surface and yet the ocean basins are vast regions still shrouded in mystery, where new discoveries are being made every year. In this course, you will be provided with a basic knowledge of how the global ocean works, how it impacts and controls the habitability of our planet, and how vital it is to our very existence. Major topics that will be explored include: 1) the hydrosphere, atmosphere and global climate, 2) ocean circulation, 3) the marine biosphere, and 4) coastal habitats, natural hazards, and human impacts.
