Course Description
2SS 3 0 Examines a series of topics¿economic, demographic, social, cultural and
political¿in African American history from 1876 to the late twentieth century.
The evolution of race relations is an important component of this course, but
the major emphasis will be placed on the internal experiences of ordinary
African Americans, within the framework of larger socioeconomic and political
processes in U. S. history. In addition to providing topical perspectives (e.g.,
work, family, and religion), the course will pay close attention to chronology
and change over time.
CFS 2700 Intimate and Family Relationships 2SS 3 0 Explores human relationship processes leading to a variety of marriage and
family experiences over the life span. The importance of cultural contexts and
individual values, styles, and decision-making will be considered as they relate
to relationship processes.
CFS 2710 Individuals and Families Over the Lifespan 2SS 3 0 The purpose is to study the individual and family from a family and individual
life span perspective. A variety of theoretical frameworks and perspectives will
be reviewed, including life span developmental theory. Current research in the
field of family science and child development will be surveyed.
CLAR 2110 Greek Archaeology 2SS 3 0 Introduces Greek society and culture through investigation of its artifacts and
the contexts in which they are found. Explores the different approaches to
investigating particular kinds of material evidence, and what aspects of Greek
culture they reveal. Starting with the Minoans and Mycenaeans, examines the
growth of civilization in Bronze Age Greece and its rebirth after the fall of the
Mycenaean palaces, to the appearance of city-states, and the rise of Philip of
Macedon in the 4th century. Examines how to identify and date different types
of material evidence, and be able to show their relevance to the reconstruction
of ancient Greek culture as a whole.
CLAR 2120 Roman Archaeology 2SS 3 0 Explores the material remains from the Roman world and of the information
they provide about Roman society. Among other things, examines sculpture,
painting, coinage, and architecture to learn how Romans at various levels of
society used objects, images and built structures to make statements about
themselves. Examines how these messages differed from one part of the
empire to another. Teaches how to look at and 'read' objects and images.
Special emphasis placed on methodologies used to interpret them.
