Twofer Courses

Discuss topics central to the ethics of human sexuality. Using scientific rigor, conceptual clarity, and philosophical insight, we’ll address questions such as: What constitutes rape? Should prostitution be a crime? Is monogamy a virtue? What is the moral status of a fetus? (TTH 11:30 a.m.–12:50 p.m. and 1-2:20 p.m.)

Race, class, and gender are social constructions. Together these affect our individual identity and experiences. They also embed us in a structure of power and inequality. Are race, class, and gender, and their interrelationships fixed? What goes into maintaining and changing these power hierarchies? Put on your 3D lenses and join us for an exploration into this prism of society! (MW 11:30 a.m.–12:50 p.m. and 1-2:20 p.m.)

Music and memory are intrinsically--even biologically--linked. We all have songs that we value not because of their musical merit, but because of associations with memories: people, places, or events from our past that the music reminds us of. In this class, you will write about your own musical memories as we explore the role of music in creating a narrative.  (TTH 11:30 a.m.–12:50 p.m. and 1-2:20 p.m.)

Come earn six credits while honing your writing and research skills under the tutelage of Wonder Women, Batman, Iron Man, Black Widow, and all film heroes. Any student who needs Introduction to Film and Comp II will love this Twofer, which combines the two courses under the theme of superhero movies. We will focus on research writing and an exploration of film history using Marvel, DC, and other films of the 20th and 21st centuries.  (MW 11:30 a.m.–12:50 p.m. and 1-2:20 p.m.)
