This is a course about crime, law and deviance in the U.S. focusing on mass incarceration. It's well known that crimes and imprisonments prevail particularly among less educated young black men. However, we often see individualistic accounts, blaming only inmates. This course will challenge these individualistic accounts of crime/imprisonment by discussing the larger social context of mass incarceration.

This course explores efforts in the U.S. and worldwide to promote biodiversity conservation, sustainability, and social justice through the designation and management of nationals parks and other protected areas.

A practicum course designed to provide students with practical application of exercise testing and technique modifications to meet the variety of needs for individuals with special health concerns.

This course is the second in a two-semester series. This course is designed to provide students with practical experience related to measuring children's free-living physical activity and sedentary behavior in unstructured environments. In the fall semester, students learned about and become proficient with direct observation methods, accelerometry and anthropometric measurements. These skills will be used in this course during hands-on data collection efforts and/or work in other laboratory and community settings.

Burmese IV is the fourth part of a four-part elementary course sequence in Burmese. The independent study format includes small group conversation sessions and an evaluation by an outside evaluator. Students studying Burmese develop speaking and listening skills needed for study abroad in Myanmar (Burma) and to support course work in Southeast Asian Studies.

This project-based laboratory course will expose students to a range of techniques that are used by neurobiologists and physiologists, including electrophysiology, imaging, and molecular biology. Research projects and exercises will focus on the mechanisms that facilitate the development and physiological activities of the nervous and endocrine systems using model animal systems like zebrafish. We will also study human sensory physiology through non-invasive participatory lab exercises.
