In his seminal manifesto, French poet Andre Breton considered surrealism as much political orientation as aesthetic. It was at the very least a response to what was, in Breton's view, an increasingly oppressive intellectual and social milieu. Surrealism, Breton tells us, "leads to the permanent destruction of all other psychic mechanisms and to its substitution for them in the solution of the principal problems of life." Breton's ideas were especially attractive to Martiniquan poet and political figure Aime Cesaire.

In this course, we will explore the uses and effects of metered verse while studying various poetic forms-received and organic, traditional and new-from the inside out.By the end of the semester, students will possess both an historical and applied understanding of prosody and of each form covered. More importantly, they'll know how, when, and why some conventions and techniques work better than others, and will be able to apply what they've learned to the writing of their own poems, formal or otherwise.

In this course, students will learn about the contemporary tools and strategies public and nonprofit managers use to reach their missions and solve problems, while balancing for effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and social justice.

What is inequality and what is fair? This course examines inequality across three major policy areas: education, justice, and labor. For each policy area we begin with defining the inequality problem by examining race, ethnicity, gender, and class. We then we explore the policy solutions that have been tried to create more equality (e.g., No Child Left Behind, minimum-wage, Three Strikes sentencing laws) and assess their success and failure. Students will learn policy analysis and evaluation tools for assessing policies.

In this class we will explore how deeply biomedicine and concerns around it are premised on assumptions about the nature of difference. Through the lenses of disability, critical race, and queer feminisms, we will explore conceptions of health and ethics in the overlapping fields of feminist body theory, science studies, bioethics and health movements.
