An historical, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of families in America. We will examine the histories of various groups, exploring how these experiences have resulted in different family dynamics. We will then take up the question of the continuing relevance of race, ethnicity, and social class to families in America today and to the discussion of family in American politics. (Gen.Ed. HS, DU)

This course is an intensive honors class studying the Christian tradition through an historical lens. The course is ordered chronologically, following the religion as it spread from a local persecuted minority to the world's largest religion. Map quizzes will reinforce the geography of that expansion, and themes will include: Jesus in the Mediterranean world, internal tensions, defining the faith, alliances with political forces, effects on cultures encountered. Art and architecture will illustrate expressions of the faith. (Gen. Ed. HS, DG)
