Conversation and Education for Democracy
This class focuses on the practice of productive conversations about complex topics, a necessity not only for university education but for a functional democracy. We will build skills for three distinct kinds of conversation 鈥� dialogue, deliberation, and debate 鈥� while engaging with three substantive themes: one focused on how humans make decisions, another focused on the challenges posed by artificial intelligence, and the third examining the limits of free expression online. The class will include biweekly mentored, small-group meetings.

Justice and Judgment in the Western Imagination
How do we decide what is right and fair?  When, if ever, is it permissible to break the law?  What role should mercy and revenge play in legal and moral judgment?  How should we respond to historical wrongs and how can we rectify legal and social injustices today?  Such questions have not only preoccupied jurists and philosophers but have also figured prominently in literature.  In this seminar, we consider how imaginative writers from the classical period to the present day have examined the nature, problems, and possibilities of justice.  At the same time that we examine the contributions of literature to pressing legal and moral debates, we work on honing your close reading and writing skills.  Texts may include Sophocles鈥檚 Antigone; William Shakespeare鈥檚 Measure for Measure; Herman Melville鈥檚 Billy Budd; Frederick Douglass鈥檚 鈥淲hat to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?鈥�; Susan Glaspell鈥檚 鈥淎 Jury of Her Peers鈥�; Harper Lee鈥檚 To Kill A Mockingbird; Martin Luther King, Jr.鈥檚 鈥淟etter from Birmingham Jail鈥�; poems by Amanda Gorman, Nicole Sealey, and Reginald Dwayne Betts; Ida Fink鈥檚 The Table; and Ferdinand von Schirach鈥檚 The Collini Case.  Our literary texts will be supplemented by selections from jurists, philosophers, and historians, and we will view several film adaptations.

Digital Activism in Dystopic Times

Stories about the walking dead, climatic apocalypses, and world-ending disasters are in no way new. Yet they prevail in films, novels, and other media today. Our society continues to seek out stories that present dismal settings of dystopic futures and, within them, moments of hope for humanity. Why?

In this course, we will explore how and why digital activists utilize stories to drive movements and inspire hope for humanity amid a world that feels more and more like a dystopic film. We will investigate how language, digital platforms, and other communicative resources support recent and current activist endeavors and will rhetorically analyze complications with using stories 鈥� both fictional and lived 鈥� for activist endeavors in public digital spaces. This course is set up for students to dig into what social media and other daily digital expressive deliverables can teach them about effective and meaningful writing and communication, whether in the classroom, in their communities, or in the digital spaces they inhabit in our increasingly socioecological, dystopic world.

Creativity as Practice
In this class we will focus on process鈥攊n reading and researching, writing and creating鈥攁s a worthwhile endeavor in itself. We will learn about poetry by writing poems, visual arts by drawing, inquiry by writing.

At the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit, Greta Thunberg noted that 鈥榃e are in the beginning of a mass extinction鈥�. She attributed this to a long history of misguided environmental policies that were driven by 鈥榤oney and fairy tales of eternal economic growth鈥�. Thunberg鈥檚 speech rightly points out that our understanding of the environment is routinely informed by adjacent cultural values, like, as Thunberg suggests, economy. Though, the opposite relationship between culture and environment is also true: attitudes toward the environment often implicitly justify other kinds of political action, like the colonization of particular lands and people. As Karen J Warren suggests, 鈥榯here are important connections between how one treats women, people of color, and the underclass on one hand and how one treats the nonhuman natural environment on the other.鈥� This course will investigate the ways in which thinking and re-thinking environment has influenced various political and aesthetic movements, including feminism, Black Power and Black Arts, capitalism, Marxism, indigenous belief systems, and queer activism. We鈥檒l do this primarily by examining how authors from myriad cultural experiences have represented the environment. Attention will also be devoted to film, fine art, and political cultures.

History and Trauma
This class explores the concepts of trauma, history, and memory as experienced by individuals and communities. We read works in the fields of psychoanalysis, sci-fi, philosophy, and history, to see how memory of historical events is affected by trauma.

Writing for Social Change: Interrogating Community Health and Wellness Advocacy through a Social Justice Lens

This class focuses on the challenges and the opportunities influencing the social health and wellness of the diverse communities living in and near to the city of Milwaukee. We will engage with local community organizations, institutions, and groups that advocate for community health and wellness and will analyze issues inhibiting that goal through a social justice lens. Specifically, we will explore how marginalized communities in our local area advocate for their own health issues using writing and other forms of communication to make positive change for their communities. We will also consider how digital forms of writing and communication help or harm local health advocacy projects. This course will include engagement in class discussions, research, reflective writing, and creative solutions to local community health issues. 

This class will examine the material, ideological, and institutional structures that affect urban development and frame our lives in the City of Milwaukee.  It is oriented around a series of readings aimed at illuminating the themes of the class and engaging students in the process of critical thinking.

Placemaking and Memory in Urban Landscapes
This course draws on theories about landscape from archaeology, anthropology, geography, and philosophy to explore how places are made, embodied, remembered, erased, and forgotten in urban environments. Students will conduct research and fieldwork on a chosen topic that demonstrates the connections between place, memory, history, and cultural identity, situating themselves ethnographically by dwelling within the ongoing and dynamic process of placemaking.
