ST-Girls in the System

This 200-level, interdisciplinary seminar will consider the role of gender in the juvenile justice system, in the United States and transnationally. Drawing on sociological literature, social critiques, policy papers, case law, documentary film, personal narratives, and even fiction, we will learn about and reflect upon the issues experienced by girls in the system. Final assignment will be student-driven, in consultation with instructor.

S-Writing Love/African Dispora

This course explores how various forms of intimacy and human connection are imagined in contemporary writing of the African Diaspora. From parent-child affections, to heterosexual romance, to queer intimacies, to the closeness between friends, "love" is a central theme in literature and a crucial part of how we define humanity.
