This class will provide hands-on experiences with horses. The primary goal is to learn how to keep you, other people and horses safe both physically and psychologically during interactions with each other. Horses are large sentient beings with minds and independent wills. Relationships with horses can become very powerful, exciting and rewarding experiences. There is no right way to build meaningful relationships with horses. However, there are procedures and practices for communicating with horses that are likely to produce positive outcomes and that are based in Learning Theory. The most important being: 1) observational skills, 2) knowledge of horse behavior, 3) positive and negative reinforcement, and 4) interpretations of intention and emotions; both your own and that of the horse. The lab will provide guidance and opportunities to perfect these important equestrian skills. You will be observing and interacting with horses through guided exercises to promote the development of the above skills. This will include herd observations, working with individually assigned horses, observing, and working with your classmates who are engaging with horses.

As we explore the ways nineteenth-century Europeans grappled with the creation of the modern world, the course will address several specific themes, including the tension between liberty and control in modernizing states, new belief systems (ideologies), migrations, imperialism, reform movements, and cultural developments.

Arts & Letters-History. This course examines Europe's 20th century, starting with Europe at the height of its relative wealth, power, and population in 1900 and continuing through war, trauma, division, and resurgence to the year 2000. We will survey major political, economic, social, and intellectual events and trends from several perspectives including individual experience, culture, and geopolitics, emphasizing the role of ideology. The course includes lectures, discussions, readings, and two papers. Country assignments will help students bring national perspectives to class, and special assignments will help students tie past events to present-day issues and controversies.

Cultural Diversity, Arts & Letters-History. For purposes of this class, the modern Middle East is defined as 1914- present, territorially and politically stretching from Egypt to Iran, including Israel/Palestine, the Arabian Peninsula, and Turkey. As time allows, we will consider North Africa as a region with cultural, linguistic, and religious ties to the Middle East but also very different, as well as Afghanistan, and Pakistan. This course carefully considers how history, culture, politics, economics, and geography, as well as all three Abrahamic faiths-Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-shaped the region's past, are inextricably tied to its present, and help us think about what the future might hold. This class also addresses matters of gender, violence, terrorism, and the chances for a lasting peace. Finally, colonialism and imperialism continue to resonate throughout the Middle East, making it necessary to exam the roles of such countries as Britain, France, Russia, and the United States.

Arts & Letters-History. Food. It has the power to conjure comforting memories of past meals, of loved ones, and of travels to places near and far. It is also, at the very least, necessary for survival. Writ large, however, food is about so much more than sustaining life. What people eat, how they eat it, and with whom they eat it are windows into the societies, cultures, values, and histories of all people. This course examines this history of food, beginning with our earliest human ancestors and culminating with the questions of food security and food equity that exist in the twenty-first century. Along the way, we will consider the many ways the study of food and foodways informs history in complex yet fascinating ways, as well as engage in considerations of what food might tell you about your own family's history. Finally, from time to time I will prepare food for the class, because after all this is the focus of our work as an intellectual community. Our final class project will be a meal, with lively conversation enhanced by food and drink.

Cultural Diversity, Arts & Letters-History. A survey of Sub-Saharan African history from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries with an emphasis on formal colonization, colonialism, decolonization, and post-colonial developments.

Arts & Letters-History. This course examines the Renaissance (approximately 1350 to 1620) thematically as we study together this tumultuous time of great art; new ideas; lively mercantile piazze, busy merchants and traders, bloody vendettas; "exotic" foods and material goods from distant places, and the encounters that took place between people in the East and the West. We will consider the religious turmoil of the age, the effects of plague, political upheaval, and warfare on people's daily lives, and take some time to think about love, marriage, family, and sex, coming to understand the Renaissance as a time of ordinary and extraordinary people whose lived experiences shaped the age. Although the focus is on the Italian Renaissance, with the help of William Shakespeare and others, we will explore the spread of the Renaissance beyond Italy to other parts of Europe, and east across the Mediterranean for a look at the histories that occurred simultaneously with, and were connected to, the world of the western Renaissance. Students enrolled in this course at the 300-level will have the following additional requirements: a research project that is both a written paper and a presentation to the class, in which they will, using appropriate primary and secondary sources, develop a new interpretation of some aspect of the Renaissance. In addition, 300-level students will have one additional text to read, will be required to attend six sessions during which we will discuss the additional reading, progress on the research paper, and peer review drafts of one another's work. HI 303 students will also serve as leaders during regular class discussion. Those without previous a history course, or a 4 or 5 on an AP History exam, are encouraged to enroll in the cross-listed HI 206 course. Students may not get credit for one course if they have taken the other.

Arts & Letters-History. An interpretative course which investigates a number of significant themes in the history of nineteenth century Eu-rope. Revolution, liberalism and nationalism, industrialization, the question of class, diplomacy and imperialism are among the subjects to be examined.

Considering questions of gender in Moroccan society requires situating the topic in the broader historical, religious, social, cultural, political, geographic, and contemporary contexts of which it is a part. While our study focuses largely on Morocco, we will pay considerable attention to the broader Middle East and North Africa given the inextricable ties that bind this region, as well as the forces that drive them apart. It will consider gender in the pre-Islamic MENA region, as well as the changes introduced by Islam as they pertain to sex roles, male-female dynamics, and the degree to which male ideology has dominated social practices. We will examine both the Qur'an and Islamic law (Shari'a) for clues regarding questions of gender, as well as look at deeply rooted (but also changing) cultural notions of gender. As early as the19th century Moroccan women, like women in other parts of the region (i.e. Huda Sha'arwi and the feminist movement in Egypt), gained greater awareness of questions of women's rights and feminism. Critical examination of these topics requires an equally critical look at questions of men and masculinity, although the latter is much more recent as a field of study, as well as how relations between men and women continue to change. Beginning with the more general themes of history, culture, and religion, the course will then move to more recent matters. The Moudawana or Personal Status Code (viewed by many as inherently discriminatory); the upheavals of the early 21st century; questions of politics and power; and the on-going reverberations in the wake of the Arab spring are just a few of the topics that will occupy our time and discussion. From dress, relations between men and women, the family, and the larger questions of history, religion, and culture this course engages both students and professor in a conversation that is taking place not only here in Morocco but across the Middle East and North Africa.

Arts & Letters-History. French Revolutions, 1789 to present: French History. For centuries, France was the most populous and powerful European state between Russia and the Atlantic Ocean, with a cultural and intellectual impact to match. This course covers topics of importance in French history from the late 18th century to the present, starting with the world-changing Revolution and Napoleon, proceeding to the crises and modernization of the 19th century, and finishing with the disasters and successes of the 20th century and today's challenges of national integration and terrorism. The course will be organized as a set of student research projects combined with common readingss and short lectures.

Arts & Letters-History. Russia has become a major player once again in the political affairs of the world, generating controversy through its annexation of territory, its intervention in foreign conflicts such as Syria, its resurgent anti-Western nationalism, and its attempts to influence elections in the leading Western democracies. Understanding the dramatic sweep of Russia's history helps us to understand the challenges the country faces and poses today. This course will begin with Tsar Alexander II's authoritarian attempts to modernize Russia in the 1860s, explore the Russian Revolution and the resulting coercive utopian project of the Soviet Union, and then study the solutions Russia has embraced to find a post-Communist identity. The 300-level students will be expected to develop their research and argumentation skills by writing a research paper that brings new information and interpretations to the class, showing they can evaluate primary source documents. The 300-level students will also be expected to develop their own ideas about historical connections and comparisons. 300-level students will be excused from taking quizzes, but will be expected to attend six discussion sessions and will mentor 200-level discussions. Students not meeting these requirements are encouraged to take the crosslisted course, HI 230 (students can't take or get credit for one course if they have taken the other).

Arts & Letters-History. An analytical survey of major developments and trends in United States diplomacy from the 1898 to the present. Major issues include American imperialism, the World Wars, Cold War, and War on Terrorism.

Arts & Letters-History. World War II was the most destructive conflict in human history. By the time the guns fell silent in 1945, approximately 60 million people had been killed worldwide. What can possibly explain the extent of such bloodshed? While a comprehensive answer may require us to explore some of the most difficult existential questions about what it means to be human, history offers us a clear guide as to why this conflict occurred when it did, the ways in which it unfolded, and how it came to an end. This course will explore the historical origins of World War II in both Europe and the Pacific, the major political and military turning points of the conflict, and issues related to the war's lasting impact, including the Holocaust. We will also seek to balance the stories of some of the more compelling personalities of the war (e.g., Hitler, Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt) with the experience of the millions of everyday soldiers and civilians who endured unspeakable suffering during this most terrible war.

An Integrative Learning course where students receive CORE credit in both History; Arts & Letters-History and Psychology; Social Science. Understanding the Holocaust through Psychology and History. The destruction of European Jewry is among the most heinous crimes of Nazi Germany. The Holocaust seems almost inconceivable; yet, close study shows it as a set of comprehensible human interactions. This course integrates psychological perspectives into the study of the historical event. Misconstrued psychological concepts (e.g., personality and racial differences) informed German policies under Hitler. Psychological scholars immigrated to the United States as the Nazi party gained power, and fields of psychological inquiry developed after World War II to better understand what had occurred (e.g., obedience to authority, racism). This ILC will explore the motivations and actions of those involved while familiarizing the students with the origins and operation of this genocide. Disciplines: History and Psychology. An Integrative Learning course where students receive CORE credit in two distributions. Distribution 1 Arts and Letters-History. Distribution 2 Social Science.

Exploring Moroccan History, Culture & Society. Morocco has a very long history and a diverse culture. Its identity has been shaped by so many peoples and civilisations which, beside the native Berbers, date back to the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans, Greeks, and the Byzantines. The Arabo-Islamic civilisation in the 8th C.was later challenged and enriched by the indelible marks of European conquest and presence. Like the sweeping majority of world countries and as early as the seventies, Morocco has ridden the tide of globalisation leaving no doubt as to its liberal economic outlook, while making sure to preserve its "authenticity" as a Muslim, Arab-Amazigh country. The result is a hybrid culture that affects nearly every aspect of Moroccan identity and way of life. This melting pot is now visible everywhere. It is not surprising to see in the same area a donkey drawn cart "driving" by fancy glass high buildings. Since the death of Hassan II in 1999, Morocco has been transformed quite substantially; and this is evidenced at different levels, politically, socially, and culturally. This class explores the dynamics of Morocco today as expressed in literature, arts, media, politics, etc.

An introduction to the study of theology in the Core aspects of theological inquiry-the Bible, the Creed, moral theology- enable students and faculty to jointly explore the nature of Christian faith and the embodiment of Christian faith in concrete historical contexts.

Faith & Reason-Theology. An analysis of the Church as a community of believers and a social institution; a study of church liturgy and sacra-ments.

In this course students will study four American filmmakers (Frank Capra, John Ford, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese) and how their films express a Catholic imagination formed in their childhood. Not all of these filmmakers retained an active Catholic faith into adulthood. However, students will explore how Catholicism as a culture continues to resonate in their films through ideas such as sac- ramentality, mediation, and communion. Students will also study how these concepts are shaped by the distinguishing cultural expressions of Catholicism brought to America by the Italian and Irish forebears of these filmmakers. By viewing such classic movies as The Searchers, It?s a Wonderful Life, The Godfather, and Taxi Driver students will study how these directors present a distinctly Catholic vision of America.

Faith & Reason-Theology. The course explores the development of a theology of mysticism that emerged in the context of neo-platonism and its chief proponent within the Christian context, Pseudo-Dionysius. Following that, the course explores several texts by women mystical writers of the High Middle Ages as one access point to the interconnections that exist between mystical experience and lay piety.

Ethical Reasoning, Faith & Reason-Theology. Atonement, as celebrated weekly during the Eucharistic Mass or other equivalent celebrations, stands as a central doctrine to the Catholic Church and the Christian world. The problem with the doctrine, however, is that it has come to be interpreted almost exclusively through an ill-advised and even heretical model called 'penal substitutionary theory,' This class will not only call into question and overcome penal substitutionary theory, it will posit and evaluate a number of other atonement models that the Church has historically taken seriously. Moreover, it will spend a lot of time both understanding and evaluating one form of atonement in particular, which we can call the 'anti-scapegoat' model, which at least fits the truth-criterion that must lie at the bottom of any model of atonement: that the ground of peace which founds the Church must come in and as peace to us.

Ethical Reasoning, Faith & Reason-Theology. An introduction to moral decision making and moral action in light of biblical principles and changing contexts.

Faith & Reason-Theology. This course surveys the historical, literary, cultural and theological heritage in ancient Israel from its earliest beginnings to the start of the Christian era. Attention will be paid to the geographical and historical contexts in which the Jewish scriptures arose, their social setting, political contexts and theological message. Special attention will be devoted to developing the skills necessary to interpret the texts within their own historical context as well as the possibilities that emerge from the text as a literary creation. Students will engage the multiple readings that emerged in subsequent Jewish traditions, New Testament texts and Christian traditions (Roman Catholic and Protestant). Students will acquire the skills to critically engage and interpret some of the most influential sections from the Old Testament based on the ancient context as well as appreciate the multivalent interpretations available to the contemporary reader.

Faith & Reason-Theology. An overview of the origins, themes, and continuing relevance of the books of the Christian Scriptures, with an emphasis on the four Gospels.

Faith & Reason-Theology. This course examines how "the question of God" has taken shape in the history of Christianity and how this question is being asked and re-framed today. Particular attention is given to how the tradition has forged "the God question" in terms of "transcendence"/"immanence" and how since modernity this has come to situate contemporary Christian belief in a new and deeply challenging way. In this context, the course explores contemporary ways of thinking about God that draws out the radicality of faith and its existential imperative to live/engage the God question in the challenges and ambiguities of the postmodern world.

Faith & Reason-Theology. This course examines how and why the relation of Theology and Science has taken shape in the history of Christianity, particularly in its becoming problematic since the rise of modernity. This requires a critical reflection upon philosophical positioning of these disciplines, drawing out important differences in "truth and method" while seeking a non-reductive dialogue. Based on these philosophical underpinnings, a theological re-thinking of God ("after Darwin") and of creation will be explored, both in its opportunities and challenges for contemporary Christian faith.

Ethical Reasoning, Faith & Reason-Theology. A study of the cultural, political, and economic spheres of social life in the light of Catholic moral teachings, theologies, and action. Magisterial and scholarly writings from 1891 to the present receive primary emphasis.

Ethical Reasoning, Faith & Reason-Theology. This course addresses a pressing concern of our time, ecological degradation from a theological perspective, which prepares students for a life of thinking critically about real-world problems from the perspective of a faith-commitment. Ecological theology is a major topic of concern (and growing) within academic theology, so this course introduces students to one of the vibrant conversations of the living tradition of Christian theology. No other course within the Theology department's offerings covers this specific focus, so this course adds range and diversity to the department's offerings. Finally, this course dovetails very well with several other academic programs at Carroll, especially Environmental Science and Anthrozoology, by asking students to think critically about the ways in which Christian faith shapes human relationships with nonhuman creatures.

This course considers the three major monotheistic religions (Islam, Judaism and Christianity) in terms of their common historical origins, as well as their manifestations in today's world, particularly vis-?-vis contemporary Morocco, a powerful example of a pluralistic, multi-ethnic, multi-religious society.

Faith & Reason-Theology. A study of major Christian doctrinal developments in their historical contexts, from the Middle Ages through the Reformation.

Faith & Reason-Theology. The point of this class will be to explore the complicated but ultimately satisfying and extremely pragmatic doctrine of the Trinity misunderstood by many laity and scholars alike. We will develop a sense of the historical emergence of the doctrine, important and interesting arguments within the doctrine, and some contemporary ecclesial and ethical views.

Faith & Reason-Theology. Special Topics courses include ad-hoc courses on various selected topics that are not part of the regular curriculum, however they may still fulfill certain curricular requirements. Special topics courses are offered at the discretion of each department and will be published as part of the semester course schedule - view available sections for more information. Questions about special topics classes can be directed to the instructor or department chair.
