| Topic: Global Politics & Current Affairs | This is an excellent course to introduce students to what matters in global politics. As an upper division topic course, students will be immersed in exploring the reasons driving daily global events. The course emphasizes the social individual level starting with the premise that it is people who matter in the world they are creating and for which they are responsible. Students will be placed front and center to carve out their own political space in the contemporary global order. Using narratives and everyday examples from news events, this phenomenological approach of study aims more at understanding than skimming through explanations of political phenomena. The classes will involve lectures, in-class current events analyses, and discussions. | Syllabus |

| Topic: Politics, War & Hollywood | Among the popular culture and the arts in America, the movies stand out in their power and influence to shape our ideas and images about political life.

We will view and analyze selected films identified as distinctly political, but focuses on war and warriors. The combat/warfare film genre conveniently mediates such political ideas as citizenship, patriotism, and the moralities of war and peace. | Syllabus |
