Develops the generalist intervention model and applies the model to working with families, groups, and communities, illustrating social work practitioners' roles of counselor, educator, broker, case manager, advocate, and introduces roles of mobilizer and evaluator. Content related to the promotion of social and economic justice with oppressed and disadvantaged populations is introduced,with special attention to social injustice among racial and ethnic minorities, the economically disenfranchised, Appalachians and GLBT people. Focuses on the analytical and interactional skills associated with the problem solving model, by continuing the research project begun in SW 4960, now consisting of data collection, data analysis, and reporting writing assignments. Attention is also given to selected skills associated with the roles of broker, teacher, and advocate in effecting macro-level change. Builds on the community analysis experience from the first semester by writing an individual grant proposal that addresses specific identified community problems. Grant proposals, as an aspect of advocacy and brokerage, are identified as a means of partially rectifying economic and social injustice. Ethical dilemmas in practice and issues of diversity will be T3 4020 Sustainable Agriculture 3 3 0 Investigation of global and local agriculture as a synthesis of human activities. Agriculture will be considered to include the production from plants of food, fiber, fuel, building materials, and medicines. Explores sustainable uses of plants and animals in a broader sense, including forests, fisheries and species diversity. Students will gain experience with agriculture in part by growing an organic garden and harvesting crops. T3 4040 Reconstructing Roman Slavery 3 3 0 What was it like to be a slave in the Roman world? No first hand account describing slavery which was written by a slave has survived. To understand what a slave's life was like we are forced to reconstruct slavery from the materials that do survive. These include: descriptions of slavery and slaves by the slave owners; literature which features characters who are slaves; archaeological remains which illustrate the conditions of slavery. An important concern will be the special demands made in the reading and interpretation of texts that are over two-thousand years old. Finally, the experience of African- American slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries, a period more richly documented than the Roman, helps us to imagine much more about the Roman institution than what we could infer from the ancient sources alone.

Primary questions include how did notions of "sin" become attached to sex, whether and how these ideas permeated modern legal systems, and how subsequent values have impacted gender systems. T3 4090 Geologic Resources 3 3 0 Examination of metals, industrial minerals, gems, and energy resources and their role in shaping the history of civilization, its current issues, and its future challenges. T3 4091 An Island as an Environment 3 4 0 Examines environmental issues in a tropical island ecosystem. The Bahamas provide a model for understanding the issues and processes impacting sustainability for the island's natural environments and biological diversity, the local people's livelihood and way of life, and the economic stability of the country. A wealth of diverse experiences provides students with firsthand knowledge of life at the land-sea interface. Weather conditions permitting, approximately 2/3 of the course will involve firsthand exposure to marine environments and 1/3, terrestrial environments. T3 4100 The Intellectual Origins of the American Revolution 3 3 0 This interdisciplinary course examines the intellectual origins of the American Revolution.

Among the authors considered are John Milton, Thomas Hobbes, and John Locke. Page 57 of 63 November 17, 2011
