Cultural Anthropology and Human Geography
Humans have a relationship with the world unlike any other organism on Earth, and this course explores the consequences of this- both positives and challenges. The Cultural Anthropology and Human Geography Elective aims to give students the opportunity to gain a better understanding of this relationship and how, more specifically as members of cultural groups, they can impact the world around them in terms of environmental, social, political, and global conflict and change. The class will also give students the chance to explore how this information is found through different Anthropological methods, such as data studies, field surveys, excavations, and more. Students will both look at past historical archaeological examples as well as current trends and patterns to determine a course of action on how to solve modern day problems and situations.
African American History
Throughout U.S. history, how have African Americans helped shape American culture? This course answers that question by tracing African Americans’ accomplishments and obstacles, beginning with the slave trade on up to the modern Civil Rights movement. Learn about the political, economic, social, religious, and cultural factors that have influenced African American life, meet individuals who changed the course of history, and explore how the African American story still influences current events.
Diverse Voices in Short Works of Literature
Students will read and discuss a variety of works, including stories, novels, media, and nonfiction, that are selected to promote meaningful discussion on issues of identity and how literature can create communities where each voice matters. Among the voices explored in this course, students will read texts by Black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and LGBTQ+ authors while analyzing intersectional identities related to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, culture, age, socioeconomic status, and belief systems.
