IGST0402A-S13 Cross-Listed As: ENVS0402A-S13 CRN: 22535	World Rivers, Lit., Policy World Rivers, Transboundary Stories: Global Literature and Environmental Policy Rivers are vital features in the lives of people, nations, and the environment. In this interdisciplinary course we will draw on literary studies and environmental policy to explore how narratives about rivers are constructed and the significance of these stories for how we manage transboundary rivers, which flow across physical, political, and cultural borders. We will draw on literature from around the world, such as The Hungry Tide, by Amitav Ghosh, and Adrift on the Nile, by Naguib Mahfouz, and on historical, legal, political and scientific sources in order to discuss concepts in transboundary river policy, such as freedom of navigation, the watershed, and integrated water resources management. We will examine how these concepts, in turn, shape literary narratives. This course is equivalent to ENVS 0402. 3 hrs. sem. Instructors: Catherine Ashcraft, Daniel Brayton Location: Mahaney Center for the Arts 126 Schedule: 1:30pm-4:15pm on Wednesday (Feb 11, 2013 to May 13, 2013) Additional Details: Community Connected Course Requirements Satisfied: CMP, LIT
IGST0403A-S13 Cross-Listed As: PSCI0403A-S13 CRN: 22536	India and China Compared India and China: 21st Century Superpowers? In this course we will look at recent political and economic developments in India and China. We will examine the economic rise of India and China in contrast to their earlier economic stagnation. We will contrast political evolution into India's democracy and China's one-party autocracy, and we will study relations between the two states and their relations with the U.S. and the world. This course is equivalent to PSCI 0403. (PSCI 0103 or waiver) 3 hrs. sem. (Comparative Politics) Instructors: Jeffrey Lunstead, Jessica Teets Location: Le Chateau 107 Schedule: 2:50pm-4:05pm on Monday, Wednesday (Feb 11, 2013 to May 13, 2013) Requirements Satisfied: AAL, CMP, SOC
IGST0450A-S13 Cross-Listed As: HIST0450A-S13 CRN: 22537	U.S./Soviet Popular Culture Twentieth-Century U.S. and Soviet Popular Culture In this comparative history seminar we will examine the United States and Russia from the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 through the Cold War. Popular culture provides rich material and suggests analytical frameworks for examining American and Soviet perceptions of each other. It also invites critical analysis of each society's "way of being": their cultural values, political priorities, assumptions, and their personal and national identities. Students will examine the ways popular culture informed social movements and international relations, paying close attention to changes and continuities across the 20th century. Of particular interest is the way that popular culture, which initially was used to drive a wedge between American and Soviet peoples, eventually became an unexpected force of rapprochement in the 1970s and 1980s. Throughout the seminar students will consider how race, class, and gender shape cultural understandings of identity. This course is equivalent to HIST 0450. 3 hrs. sem.
