From cities to villages, we explore the changing and contested meanings of indigeneity in transnational riverine space; flood control engineering as a techno-cultural and neocolonial response to climate-change; and resistance to the geopolitics of wind energy as international development. Our cases draw from three books by anthropologists doing ethnographic fieldwork in the Americas (Mexico and U.S. borderlands and Canada). All three ethnographies grapple with water and wind as elemental forces, habitats, and 21st century planetary symbolism. Students expand the range of environmental justice subjects and geographies through independent research projects.

In order to give substantive weight to the research design questions explored in this class, we will read works on the themes of immigration, race and ethnicity, and public perception and opinion. Part of the goal of these readings is to understand the advantages and disadvantages of research techniques and how to match methods appropriately to research questions. By the end of the course, you will develop the tools for conducting and evaluating the process of knowledge accumulation about social, political, economic, and cultural processes. Students can focus on their particular region of the world.

ANTH-E 646 ETHNOGRAPHIES OF DEMOCRACY (3CR) taught by Ilana Gershon
The course relies on ethnographic case studies of legislatures, voting, polling, civil society and other elements democracy theorists have argued are crucial for democracies to succeed. We analyze how these democratic practices presuppose certain forms of social organization, and explore the consequences of introducing these practices into communities organized differently. The goals of this course are twofold. First, students learn to think in detail about the practices that support or are implied by democratic values. Second, students also develop a complex understanding of how social hierarchies and political organization affect what political strategies are possible.

ANTH-E 644 PEOPLE AND PROTECTED AREAS (3CR) taught by Sarah Osterhoudt
From tropical rainforests, to urban playgrounds, parks and protected areas have long been used to promote environmental conservation and the protection of endangered species. Yet, parks are also often sites of historical, political, and cultural conflict. This course draws from examples from around the world to examine the social and cultural dimensions of protected areas. Topics we cover include cultural ideas of nature and wilderness, the “park versus people” debate, community-based conservation, ecotourism, and new, emerging models for conservation and development.

HISP-P 515 WOMEN WRITING IN PORTUGUESE (3CR) taught by Estela Vieira
This course studies a diverse selection of texts by women writers from the Portuguese-speaking world (Brazil, Portugal, and Portuguese-speaking Africa). We ask important theoretical questions about how to define and conceptualize women’s writing, and challenge established literary histories. What do these writings teach us about feminism, love, race, political oppression, and the Lusophone political-social order?

SPEA-N 534 NGO MANAGEMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (3CR) taught by Brass

SPEA-R 535 INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY (3CR) taught by Nikos Zirogiannis
Environmental problems are not constrained by state or national borders. Many of them are regional, transnational, or global by nature, which lends a significant element of complexity to the policies that need to be in place to address them. In this class, we will explore several of those problems (climate change, local air quality, acid rain, stratospheric ozone depletion, water pollution and water scarcity) and evaluate the status of relevant international policies.

ANTH-E 600/E 400 EMBODIED IDENTITIES (3CR) taught by Anya Peterson Royce
This course will examine how we experience and understand identity through the embodiment of ourselves and others in performance, including dance, music, story-telling, theater. We will draw our examples from cultures around the globe, including those of the displaced, from the historical as well as the contemporary, and from the everyday and the extraordinary. We will be examining the similarities and differences across cultures and time in how people see and define themselves and others, and how those definitions have implications for community, political and social action, and values. We will examine the unique power of performance and performers: How they and their work are created and perceived in a global context? In response to social and political crises?

LUSO-BRAZILIAN COLLOQUIUM
We will begin the course by discussing the politics of literary translation, with a focus on the Luso-Brazilian case. We will examine the distribution and readership of translated literary works originally written in Portuguese in different moments in time, as well as in different markets, including Latin America, Europe, and the US. In the second part of the course, we will delve into the art and craft of translation itself. We will focus on a selection of works of prose and poetry from Brazil, Portugal, and Lusophone Africa, and their translations into English, geared towards the US market. Writers studied include Machado de Assis, Fernando Pessoa, Clarice Lispector, Paulo Coelho, Conceição Evaristo, and Mia Couto, among others. Readings and class discussion in Portuguese and English.

HISP-S 668 VT: BLACKS IN THE LETTERED CITY: BLACKNESS AND SPANISH AMERICAN LITERATURE IN THE LONG 19th CENTURY (3 CR) taught by Alejandro Mejias-Lopez
This course will center on blackness as an integral component of the traditional canon and on the study of works by Afro Latin American writers and intellectuals, from the wars of independence to the early 20th century. Framed by theoretical and critical works on race, we will discuss a variety of texts and authors from the region (possibly with occasional forays into related Spanish Peninsular texts -in which both blackness and the slave trade have also been hidden in plain view). The very last section of the course will be dedicated to a brief discussion of contemporary Afro Latin American writers' use of historical fiction to recover both the memory of African slavery, and black experience in 19th-century Spanish America.

HISP-S 688 VT: SOUND STUDIES AND LITERATURE IN LATIN AMERICA (3 CR) taught by Anke Birkenmaier
The turn toward exploring what Marshall McLuhan termed in the 1960s the "electric age," poised to replace the print age, has made the study of sound paramount for scholars of modern media, history, music, and literature. For Latin America, Ana María Ochoa has challenged us to question nation-driven narratives of literary history and instead study a discontinuous, transnational "aural public sphere" that always existed alongside Angel Rama's "lettered city" of Latin American literature. This course looks at how Latin American literature has devised its own poetics of sound, which might allow us to not only read literature with fresh eyes and ears, but to rethink ideas of technics vs. poetics, voice, and remediation. Literary readings will be paired with major essays in sound studies, among them Alejo Carpentier, Manuel Puig, Severo Sarduy, Álvaro Enrigue, Valeria Luiselli, Theodor W. Adorno, Bernard Stiegler, and Jonathan Sterne.

HIST-H 699 VT: THE GLOBAL TURN (4 CR) taught by Pedro Machado
COLLOQ IN COMPARATIVE HISTORY
This course will explore the theoretical underpinnings and methodological approaches of global history as a way of understanding the conceptual and intellectual possibilities of, and challenges for, this rapidly expanding field. It will address specific problems such as how to rethink area divisions rooted in the Cold War and colonial eras, and how to think about periodization on a global scale that is attentive nonetheless to local and regional scales. The goals are to encourage students to consider research that can illuminate large-scale historical processes, engage in global and transnational histories, or explore geographically dispersed phenomena such as mobility, commodity flows and the history of aquatic regions. As will be clear by semester's end, some of the most exciting, suggestive and stimulating work in the historical profession is being conducted in the field of global history.

SEMINAR IN GLOBAL HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT
Meets with INTL-I 428 and CULS-C 701
Focuses on the global struggle for potable water and healthy rivers. From megacities to villages, we explore the changing and contested meanings of indigeneity and water landscapes, the passionate organizing efforts of neighborhood environmental activists, the political unconscious of pollution, and the geopolitics of water and wind engineering and international development in wet, dry and windy environments. Our cases draw from three books by anthropologists doing ethnographic fieldwork in the Americas (Mexico and U.S. borderlands, Argentina and Brazil). All three ethnographies grapple with water and wind as elemental forces, habitats, and 21st century planetary symbolism.

REL-R 662/R 762 RELIGION AND THE COLONIAL ENCOUNTER (4 CR) taught by Stephen Selka

This course is designed to introduce graduate students to the disciplinary foundations of socio-cultural anthropology from the late 19th century to roughly the beginning of the 1970s. We concentrate on paradigms that dominated the US and Europe but also pay critical attention to subaltern thinkers and “third world” contexts during the same time, mostly US based race theory and Latin American thinkers. The course focuses both on disciplinary personalities, the intellectual contexts they were writing in, and major theoretical questions.

ANTH-P 509 ARCHAEOLOGICAL ETHICS (3 CR) taught by Anne Pyburn
The class will approach the issues encompassed in archaeological ethics as a series of debates. We will begin with a discussion of the moral philosophical and scientific underpinnings of ethics in archaeology and in social science in general. Then we will discuss the history of archaeology and its changing goals over the past century. Over the course of the semester we will consider community engagement, nationalism, looting and the art market, repatriation, identity and the world system, and issues of group representation in popular media.A significant portion of the specific cases discussed will be from Central America and Central Asia where I have done archaeological research.

ANTH-P 600 HERITAGE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (3 CR) taught by K. Anne Pyburn
In this class we will review contemporary literature on economic development and the role of heritage in various political economies. In particular, we will consider what conditions might give heritage a viable and sustainable role in the development of tourism, national identity, internationalism, and diplomacy. A significant portion of the specific cases discussed will be from Central America and Central Asia where I have done development work. Individually or in small collaborative groups, students will select world areas where heritage is being leveraged for development. Through academic publications, NGO produced “gray literature,” UNESCO and World Bank assessments, and interviews with participants via email or Skype, class members will describe and evaluate the use of heritage for development in particular parts of the world, focusing on a particular community or heritage site of their choice.

CTIH-T 500 VT: BODIES OF KNOWLEDGE, SUBJECTS OF THEORY (3 CR) taught by Oana Panaïté
INTRODUCTION TO THE THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE HUMANITIES
The course will focus on how theoretical production and reception come to be shaped by the identity (nationality, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation) of its author, centering around the works of several contemporary thinkers, such as, Jacques Derrida and contemporary, Édouard Glissant. It will focus on the biographical (self-)presentation and historical contextualization (describing the thinker as a Frenchman, an Algerian Jew, a Martinican, a woman, or an African) in defining the conditions and terms in which a work is produced as well as received.

FOLK-F 734 FOLKLORE AND LITERATURE: TRANSCULTURATION AND THE SENSES (3CR) taught by Solimar Otero

HISP-S 512 THEORY AND RESISTANCE IN LATIN AMERICAN AND HISPANIC STUDIES (3CR) taught by Patrick Dove
This course provides an introduction to the theoretical underpinnings of literary and cultural criticism, with a dual emphasis on (1) becoming familiar with major debates and conceptual vocabularies in the theoretical Humanities; and (2) exploring how theoretical questions and perspectives can inform our interpretive practices in Latin American and Hispanic Studies, scholarly and critical fields whose histories are replete with gestures of rejecting “theory” as an abstract and/or exogenous imposition. Our primary task will be to question and push back against this disciplinary conceit about what is foreign and what is proper to Hispanic or Latin American cultural production.

HISP-S 558 SPANISH AMERICAN COLONIAL LITERATURES (3 CR) taught by Kathleen Myers
This course explores the initial discourse about the Spanish conquest and colonization of the Americas, including such works as Christopher Columbus' letters and those written by Spanish and indigenous conquistadors.

HIST-H 699 NATIONS AND NATIONALISMS (3 CR) taught by Peter Guardino
The development of national states and national identities was one of the most prominent features of the modern age. This course will consider relatively recent works in which historians try to understand how and why nations came to be the primary focus of so many people’s loyalties and how national states came to be the most important form of political organization. We will use readings on different parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the United States. Although we will certainly sample some theoretical approaches to nationalism in the first week or two, the focus here will be on how working historians have approached the problems of studying nations.

ANTH-P 575 FOOD OF THE ANCIENT WORLD (3CR) taught by Stacie King
Food is a requirement for life, yet it is always transformed by social meanings in specific cultural contexts. We will look at the theoretical and methodological tools that archaeologists and anthropologists use to study food and foodways in ancient societies from a global anthropological perspective, bringing together example from across the globe and across millennia. This course will focus on the social contexts in which specific food practices occur and the social and cultural meanings that are ascribed, created, and reproduced in those contexts, and will consider the data and methods we use to study them.

ANTH-B 600 MORTUARY PRACTICES (3CR) taught by Della Cook
All human societies have customs and beliefs about how the dead should be treated. The variety and complexity of these practices is astonishing. The dead may be so dangerous to the living that anything in contact with a dying person must be destroyed or a dead relatives property may be a precious keepsake. Babies may be given the names of ancestors or the name of a dead relative may never be spoken again. Bodies may be abandoned in the wild, kept in the home until they decompose, cremated, submerged, embalmed, dissected, mummified, or buried. Obligations toward the dead may continue over many years. Survivors may be expected to mourn not at all, for a period of time or for the remainder of their lives. These customs may be conserved for long periods, or they may change rapidly. This course explores scholarship on mortuary practices from many disciplines. We focus on the relationship of mortuary practices to beliefs about the dead. What constitutes evidence for mortuary practices and beliefs about the dead among early humans? In the archaeological record? In the modern world? How and why do these practices change? How do they reflect ethnicity, social status, and values?

ANTH-E 644 PARKS & PROTECTED AREAS: CONSERVATION IN THEORY & PRACTICE taught by Sarah Osterhoudt
From tropical rainforests, to urban playgrounds, parks and protected areas have long been used to promote environmental conservation and the protection of endangered species around the world. Yet, parks are also often sites of historical, political and cultural conflict. This course draws from examples from around the world, including Africa, Latin America, and the United States, to examine the social and cultural dimensions of parks and protected areas. Topics we will cover include cultural ideas of nature and wilderness, the park versus people debate, community-based conservation, ecotourism, and new, emerging models for conservation and development.

ANTH-E 660 GLOBAL ART & PERFORMANCE: PUBLIC CONVERSATIONS (3 CR) taught by Anya Peterson Royce
Anthropology's concern with the arts; cross-cultural study and comparison; the relationships of the arts to other aspects of society and culture; problems of the cross-cultural validity of aesthetics and the interrelationships of the arts. Subject will vary.

FOLK-F 638 LATIN AMER/FOLKLORE/FOLKLORE MUSIC (3CR) taught by John McDowell
In this seminar we sample highlights of the extraordinary literature on Latin American folklore, ranging widely across geographical and cultural space, to gain a handle on the critical role of expressive culture in articulating identities, forming polities, processing modernity, and negotiating the divides between the local and the global. Whether it be heroic ballads rooted in Mexico, polysemic religious expressions in the Caribbean, or spiritual healing in the Andes and Amazonia, the world region known as Latin America offers much delight and enlightenment to the studious observer.

HISP-P 505 LIT & FILM IN PORTUGUESE (3 CR) taught by Estela Vieira
This course studies a variety of literary works from the Portuguese-speaking world (including novels, novellas, a drama, and short stories) and their film adaptations. Some of the most important films from Portugal and Brazil are adaptations of celebrated literary masterpieces. Filmmakers from Portugal, Brazil, and Portuguese-speaking Africa have repeatedly used literature as a way to criticize political regimes and question social conventions. In addition, this course provides students with theoretical background for thinking about film adaptations and their connections to literature. The course will examine the differences between film and literature as media, and attempt to define a politics of adaptation-discussing the ways in which films can employ literature to acquire cultural capital, forge national and cultural identities, and effect political change.

This course examines the various intersections of religion, race, and ethnicity in the Americas.

We will explore these ideas across the Americas and by looking at four major topics: religion and immigration in the United States, particularly in immigration to the US in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; African American and African Diaspora religions, ranging from Christianity in the US to African-derived candomblé in Brazil; and religion and ethnonationalism, including examples from Canada, Brazil, and Mexico.

HIST-H 699 VT: NATIONS AND NATIONALISM (4 CR) #13512 taught by Peter Guardino
COLLOQUIUM IN COMPARATIVE HISTORY
The development of national states and national identities was one of the most prominent features of the modern age. Not surprisingly, it has drawn the attention of legions of historians, from the nineteenth century to the present day. This course will not try to cover such a vast historiographic terrain, but will instead consider relatively recent (post 1990) works in which historians try to understand how and why nations came to be the primary focus of so many people’s loyalties and how national states came to be the most important form of political organization. We will not focus on any single world area: we will use readings on different parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the United States. Although we will certainly sample some theoretical approaches to nationalism in the first week or two, the focus here will be on how working historians have approached the problems of studying nations.

This course provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts and topics traditionally covered in a (Hispanic) Pragmatics course from a cognitive and sociocultural perspective. After examining the scope of pragmatics, the main components of the field will be reviewed, including speech act theory, deixis, presupposition, implicature, information structure, and different theories that account for the study of ‘meaning’. Since pragmatics examines meaning in context, the semantic-pragmatic distinction will be discussed in relation to other areas of linguistics. The last component of the course examines pragmatic concepts within the fields of discourse analysis, second language acquisition, and sociolinguistic variation. Methodological issues in pragmatics research will also be reviewed. This course provides the foundation for future advanced courses in pragmatics, discourse analysis, and interlanguage pragmatics. Examples will be taken from different varieties of Spanish and English.

HISP-S 515 LA ADQUISICION DEL ESPANOL COMO SEGUNDO IDIOMA/THE ACQUISITION OF SPANISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE (3 CR) taught by Kimberly Geeslin
This course provides an introduction to the wealth of empirical research focusing on the acquisition of Spanish as a second language. Being introductory, the course begins with a brief analysis of early research and traces the development of second language acquisition theory through the morpheme acquisition studies, studies on Interlanguage development, research on language processing, and internal and external influences on acquisition. In addition to answering the question, How has the field of Spanish second language acquisition developed and evolved over the years, this course focuses on the paths of acquisition of non-native linguistic systems. In order to address both progress in second language acquisition theory, and the current knowledge of the development of non-native Spanish, this course is organized according to grammatical topics that have been identified as particular challenges for English-speakers.

HISP–S 517 METHODS OF TEACHING COLLEGE SPANISH (3 CR) taught by Laura Gurzynski-Weiss
This course provides a foundation in the theory and techniques for teaching university-level foreign language in a classroom setting. The theoretical background of communicative language teaching will be emphasized with particular attention to task-based language teaching. Students will critically review theories on second language acquisition and learn how to implement current research findings into effective teaching practices. Internal and external factors that affect the language acquisition process will be discussed, as well as how instructors can maximize in-class learning in their role as instructors. The relationships between instructor characteristics and learning opportunities will also be examined. Throughout the semester, students will lead and participate in discussions, complete classroom observations, and carry out teaching evaluations. Students will also collaboratively design classroom tasks, assessments and lesson plans for future use in an online teaching portfolio.

HIST-H 765 RACE, REVOLUTIONS, AND NEOLIBERALISM IN LATIN AMERICA AND BEYOND (4 CR) taught by Jeff Gould
This course's primary aim is to aid students to research and write scholarly articles and/or potential dissertation chapters. The course will also have a common theme: the promise and failure of Latin American revolutionary movements during the 1960s and 1970s and the subsequent emergence of neoliberalism. The class will begin with some methodological readings that will orient the student about different approaches to historical research. The subsequent readings will address several questions: Key debates, for example, on the mode of production dominant in Latin American societies and the political consequences of that analysis. Similarly, the role of race and ethnicity in Marxist theory (and its critics) had great salience in Cuba, Central America and the Andean countries.

REL-R 636/735 STUDIES OF REL IN AMER CULTURE (3 CR) taught by Candy Brown
VT: EVANGELICAL AND CHARISMATIC CHRISTIANITY IN THE AMERICAS
Evangelical, Pentecostal, and Charismatic (Protestant and Catholic) movements have played a critical role in shaping North American, Latin American, and global cultural, social, and political institutions. Who are evangelicals, Pentecostals, and Charismatics? What do they believe, and how do they behave? Should non-evangelicals be worried about them? How has evangelicalism reflected and shaped larger patterns of globalization? This graduate seminar explores the causes, nature, and implications of evangelical influence. Discussions engage scholarly monographs that describe and interpret the historical emergence and dramatic recent growth of evangelical and pentecostal Christianity.

ANTH-E 660 SENSUOUS KNOWLEDGE: AESTHETICS OF BODY, OBJECT, WORD, SOUND, IMAGE (3 CR) taught by Anya Peterson Royce
This course will examine how we experience and understand, through the senses, the aesthetics of ritual, performance, material culture, images, and the sounds of language and music. We will draw our examples from cultures around the globe, including those of the displaced, from the historical as well as the contemporary, and from the everyday and the extraordinary. We will be examining the similarities and differences across cultures and time in how people define beauty and aesthetics, and how it is manifested in their values and works. Our approach will include experience in the form of workshops, museum collections, narratives of visiting artists, exploration of landscapes, short field trips, and participation in the offerings associated with the Themester topic of Beauty. Our explanations of what we experience will take a variety of forms—writing in different genres and for different audiences, photography, making (pots, textiles, sculptures, painting, and more), digital creations, performances.

ANTH-P 575 FOOD IN THE ANCIENT WORLD (3 CR) taught by Stacie King
Food pervades all aspects of people’s lives, from the most basic task of acquiring and consuming food to the intricate social meanings and political roles that we give to food in different social settings. We will look at the theoretical and methodological tools that archaeologists use to study food and foodways in ancient societies from a global anthropological perspective. We will explore how studying food and ancient foodways tells us more than just the methods and techniques of food acquisition, preparation, consumption, and discard, but also gives us a window into economic, symbolic, historic, and political realities of past peoples.

VT: BLOOD ON THE SAND: CONFLICT IN CARIBBEAN & DIASPORIC LETTERS taught by Vivian Halloran
Building on the critical acclaim surrounding the Mann Booker Prize winning A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James, this class investigates how Caribbean and diasporic writers in the US and Canada portray violence and conflict as counternarratives to the prevalent discourse of the region as a tropical paradise. We will use a variety of critical theories, from postcolonial, to affect, to intersections with Black Lives Matters. Students will live-tweet an on-campus scholarly talk, utilize the new Caribbean digital archives, and identify scholars in the field to follow through social media. Research essays will be formatted according to the specifications of Caribbean studies journals.

FOLK-F 638 MYTH, COSMOS, AND HEALING IN LATIN AMERICA (3 CR) taught by John McDowell
We explore systems of belief and practice as they enter into traditional healing rituals in different regions of Latin America. This world area features many practices and practitioners operating at the boundary of medicine and religion. We will attend to the art, artifacts, music, ritual speech, and other techniques of curing and healing, stressing their connection to enabling mythologies and cosmologies. And we will inspect the remarkable transitions in these traditional systems in modern times, as they seemingly expand their scope of activity and yet are deeply transformed in the process.

HISP-P 500 LITERATURES OF THE PORTUGUESE SPEAKING WORLD I (3 CR) taught by Estela Vieira
This course introduces students to Portuguese, Brazilian, and Lusophone-African literature. It is the first of a two part survey covering works written from the medieval period through romanticism in Brazil and Portugal—students are not obliged to take both parts of the survey. The emergence of an African and African-Brazilian literature will also be discussed. Representative literary authors and works serve as the basis for interdisciplinary and cross-cultural commentary of important social, political and historical issues, including imperialism and overseas expansion, nation building, and revolution. The course combines lecture and discussion, and is conducted in Portuguese. Students not taking the course for Portuguese credit can write assignments, exams, and essays in English or Spanish.

HISP-P 676 LUSO-BRAZILIAN COLLOQUIUM (3 CR)
VT: MACHADO DE ASSIS taught by Luciana Namorato
Machado de Assis (1839-1908) is a literary titan whose unlikely rise to prominence is legendary in Brazil. Born into poverty and orphaned at a young age, he was the grandson of slaves. Once an obscure name in the U.S., Machado de Assis has since acquired a distinguished following. Susan Sontag called him “the greatest writer ever produced in Latin America” and literary critic Harold Bloom describes the Brazilian writer as “the supreme black literary artist to date.” In this course, we will study selected works by Machado de Assis. Our discussions will include, but not be limited to, Machado’s social and political criticism of the Brazil of his time, as well as his literary dialogue with Brazilian and European predecessors and contemporaries. Readings and discussion in Portuguese.

HISP-S 513 INTR-HISPANIC SOCIOLINGUISTICS (3 CR) taught by Manuel Díaz-Campos

HISP-S 612 TOP LING: VARIATION & LANG CONT (3 CR)
VT: CUR ISSUES PRAGMA & SOCLING VARI taught by César Félix-Brasdefer
The aim of this course is to examine the interface of sociolinguistic and pragmatic variation from an interdisciplinary perspective and the methods used to examine linguistic and social variation. In this course, we will critically review the variationist model to analyze the extent to which this model can be applied to investigate variation at the pragmatic/discourse level (regional, social, age, and gender variation). There is current work by sociolinguist and pragmatic analysts who are trying to extend the variationist model (a la Labov) to the analysis of pragmatics, but the results are mixed. The first part of the course will review basic concepts of pragmatics, followed by a review of two current models of linguistic variation, namely, the 'variationist linguistic model' (beginning with Labov's notion of the 'linguistic variable,' and extended to examine the pragmatic variable at the discourse level); the second model, ‘variational pragmatics’, examines variation in pragmatics from a sociolinguistic (dialectology/applied linguistics) perspective. The second part of the course will examine empirical studies that have analyzed variation in pragmatics/discourse from a variationist and/or variational perspective. Research methods for the analysis of pragmatic/discourse variation will also be covered.

HISP-S 614 TOPICS IN ACQUISITION SPANISH (3 CR) taught by Laura Gurzynski-Weiss
This research-oriented course offers in-depth investigation into learner individual differences and instructor characteristics, variables that are present and have been documented as influencing second language (L2) learning in many contexts. Each individual difference and characteristic will be examined from historical and contemporary perspectives contextualized within the field of second language acquisition and allied
fields including psychology and education, with particular focus on the evolution of operationalization and measurement of each construct. A main goal of the course will be to create a single, cohesive instrument to measure individual differences and characteristics informed by the latest research that could be adaptable for use in many studies. This instrument will be informed by individual student work throughout the semester, to include student-led discussions and individually written critical review papers providing novel synthesis of the latest research available on an individual difference or characteristic. The instrument will be piloted and revised during the semester based on analyses of reliability and validity to ensure its comparability across studies and potential contribution for future presentation and publication.

HISP-S 678 PARANOIA IN HISPANIC LITERATURE AND FILM (3 CR) taught by Jonathan Risner

HIST-H 699 COLLOQ IN COMPARATIVE HISTORY (4 CR)
VT: ORAL HISTORY taught by Daniel James
VT: GLOBALIZING THE PAST taught by Pedro Machado
The past two decades have witnessed growing interest in a developing new field of historical research and teaching: global history. Spurred in part by the political reorientations, geographical and spatial re-imaginings following the collapse of the Soviet bloc and the urgent realities of an emergent ‘hyper’ globalizing world, as well as by the transnational turn to anti and postcolonial scholarship, global history scholarship has opened possibilities for scholars to reframe spatial, temporal and discursive constructs in a changing intellectual landscape. Echoing broader arguments against universalism and Eurocentrism – but employing frameworks that set them apart from world historians’ preoccupations with comparative history – global historians seek to uncover the multipolar and pluralistic connections that have brought different parts of the world into relation with one another over the span of centuries. The ‘entanglements’ of the past, whether they are conceptualized in material, cultural, political, social or economic terms, have thus become of central concern to the global history project.

INTL-I 503 SEMINAR IN GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT (3 CR)
VT: HARNESSING FOREIGN INVESTMENT FOR DEVELOPMENT taught by Sarah Bauerle Danzman
Corporations operating across national boundaries structure production, consumption, and the distribution of wealth globally. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) can help bring economic growth and shared prosperity to developing countries, but critics emphasize the negative impacts on local societies. This course will offer students empirical knowledge and analytical skills to make sense of the influence of MNEs at both the local and global level, and the attempts to regulate their behavior. We will begin with an overview of MNEs in the contemporary international system and their effects on development, before turning to three policy-oriented questions: 1) How can firms manage risks associated with investing across borders and how can states reassure firms of the safety of their investments?; 2) How can governments craft regulatory structures and incentive programs to promote "beneficial" foreign investment?; 3) How can non-governmental organizations effectively pressure MNEs to adopt and comply with high labor and environmental standards? Students will learn about careers associated with MNEs and development, including political risk consulting, investment promotion and locational consulting, and non-profit work to develop and implement ethical labeling and sourcing standards.

We will also be interested in politically contentious events (i.e., strikes, demonstrations, social movement mobilizations) that have the potential for but do not always produce violence. The reading list surveys the major developments and debates in the area although it is not comprehensive. This topic has a strong interdisciplinary focus that combines the most recent works in political science, sociology and economics.
