\nWelcome back to all staff, students, and faculty! We are off and running, having completed the first week of classes, and we look forward to an exciting semester.<\/p>\n
As students will know, the first two weeks of class constitute the drop-add period during which you can change your schedule. That means there is still time for us to announce two new courses to be added to the list of courses that may be counted toward a peace and conflict studies minor. Spots remain open in the following two courses. Check them out!<\/p>\n
First-Year Seminar: Revolution and Revolt<\/strong> This course investigates the literature of rebellion from the late eighteenth century\u2019s \u201cAge of Revolution\u201d to the Occupy movement. By taking such a long historical view, we will explore how the revolutionary past of the Atlantic world has helped\u2014and might still help\u2014renegades, outcasts, and dissidents imagine its revolutionary futures. We will read the work of not only famous revolutionary leaders but also infamous and obscure ones, including radical abolitionists, communists, anarchists, feminists, student activists, and more. Throughout the class, we will ask: How do writers define revolution? How do they measure its successes and failures? How do they interpret the memory of previous uprisings and envision possibilities beyond them?<\/p>\n Music and War<\/strong> For centuries, and across different cultures, music has both served war and illustrated its victories and terror. Music has also provided powerful commentary on war, articulating human pain and protest in equal measure. In this seminar we consider these functions in key works of art and popular music of the 20th century\u2014a century of two world wars\u2014with excursions into previous periods and our own contemporary experience with the war in Iraq. We will discuss music of war; about war; against war; and in the shadow of war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome back to all staff, students, and faculty!
