BISC 7532 Conservation Law and Policy
Climate change, loss of biodiversity, natural habitat destruction, and the contamination of air, land, and water affect every person on earth today as well as future generations. For biologists to effect positive changes regarding such conservation issues, they need more than an understanding of traditional scientific tools and approaches to conservation of biodiversity. Biologists also need to understand the historical and existing legal, political, and regulatory framework in which conservation issues exist. This course examines a wide range of laws, policies, regulations, treaties, and institutions designed to address local, national, and global conservation problems. Topics to be covered include protection of biodiverstiy (e.g., Endangered Species Act, Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species), regulatory approaches to pollution (e.g., Clean Air Act, National Environmental Policy Act), and Natural Resource Management (e.g., National Forest Management Act, Farm Bill).

ENGL 6598 Romantic City
This course revisits the association between British Romanticism and the natural world, while at the same time redressing a lack of attention to the urban. The urban is a literary in an era in which the modes of production and consumption have shifted decisively toward a London literary marketplace. We will elaborate the shifting relationships between "the country and the city" in the period's works, using Raymond Williams' seminar study. The secondary materials will consist of historical accounts of 19th century London and our own research into it surban literary culture. The course requirements include a presentation, midterm ten-page paper, and either an expansion of that paper into a twenty-page paper, or a second ten-page paper on a new topic.

SOCI 5807 Global Discontents
This course examines the relationship between culture and globalization. In particular, we will examine the ideological underpinnings that support globalization, such as rationalism and consumerism, as well as alternative ideologies and social movements, both religious and secular, against globalization in its current forms. In addition to cultural and ideological content in its own right, considerable attention will be given to the institutional structures through which competing ideologies proliferate. Among the more obvious are information and communications technologies such as television and the internet. But also, we will examine less obvious "culture carriers" such as religious and development organizations and international institutions.

SOCI 6200 Research Skills I (Required Course)
This course will introduce students to urban studies/urban sociology research methods, setting up research design including deriving hypotheses and conclusions, and the application of quantitative and qualitative research approaches.
