Honors Colloquium
P: Limited to students in the University Honors Program S/U grade basis not allowed Audit enrollment not allowed MUSIC AND SOCIETY GE IV Humanities; One Diversity Credit In this course, a select number of broad social and cultural issues surrounding music in both Western and non-Western cultures will be addressed. In a unit on music and politics, for example, the use of music as a political tool in such settings as communist U.S.S.R., Nazi Germany, and the Civil Rights Movement will be explored.

While technical questions of musical style are not emphasized in this course and no technical understanding of music is required, students will be asked to listen to many excerpts of music both inside and outside of class. Call# 2605 Section 501 3.0 cr 2:00pm- 3:15pm Mon.Wed. HFA 159 Instructor: Peters, Gretchen AFRICAN AMER WRTG GE IV Humanities; Three Diversity Credits In 1903 the black sociologist W.E.B. Du Bois presciently stated that “the problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line – the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea.” Indeed, the 20th century arrived to find black Americans with fewer rights and less opportunity than they had enjoyed during the era of Reconstruction (1865-1877). In this course we will examine key texts from the Jim Crow, civil rights, Black Arts, and modern eras by focusing on their engagement with ongoing discourses of black suffrage, violence, nationalism, and domesticity. Our goals include interrogating the construct of the “color-line” (i.e., problematizing what is “black” and what is “white”), (re)reading gender into 20th century racial discourses and identifying instances of the cultural hybridity of American life and letters. Call# 2606 Section 502 3.0 cr 10:00am-10:50am Mon.Wed.Fri. SSS 213 Instructor: Hanson, Charles M. FILM ADAPTATION GE IV Humanities This course is an opportunity to gain a keener understanding and appreciation of the processes involved in the adaptation of various kinds of texts to the medium of film. This course will challenge first-year honors students to pay close attention to the complex historical consciousness, the cross-cultural sensitivity, and matters of gender, race and class when studying the art of the adaptation.
