AFST H361B Topics African-American Lit: Representations of American Slavery For the past three centuries African American writers have mined the experience of chattel slavery in the cause of literal

and artistic emancipation. Slave narratives, as well as poetry, essays and novels depicting slavery, constitute a literary universe so robust that the term subgenre does it injustice. In this work spanning the 18th-21st centuries, the reader will find pulse-quickening plots, gruesome horror, tender sentiment, heroism, degradation, sexual violation and redemption, as well as resonant meditations on language and literacy, racial identity, power, psychology, democracy, freedom and the human character. This course is focused primarily on prose representations of slavery in the Americas. Our discussions will incorporate history, but will foreground literary and cultural analysis.

BIOL H312H Development & Evolution This course introduces important links between developmental and evolutionary biology. Genetic changes that produce

variations between organisms are an important aspect of evolutionary change. Since development can be viewed as a process that links genetic information to final form of an organism, the fields of development and evolution clearly impact one another. We will look at model developmental systems where mechanisms have been elucidated in remarkable detail. We will then look beyond model systems to comparative studies in a range of organisms, considering how these provide insight into evolutionary mechanisms, and how underlying differences in development may account for the differences we see between organisms.

ECON H209B Law and Economics Why do rational people follow fixed rules (laws) instead of doing what is best for them in a specific situation? Can there

be order without law? Should the government compensate people when it issues environmental and wildlife protection regulations which reduce the value of their property? The lady who burned herself with a cup of McDonald's coffee won several million dollars in compensation. Does that make sense? We apply economic analysis to these and many other questions in the areas of property law, contracts, torts, and legal procedure.

order to ask the questions, ‘Why and how do we read novels? What does this experience enable?” we will interrogate theories of the novel, its early formation and contemporary forms. We will also consider changing cultural representations of subjectivity, nation, race, gender, and ways of reading. How is the reader variously constructed as witness to (and participant in) desire and its demise? How do developments in narrative voice influence the idea of fiction as a didactic, pleasurable, speculative and/or imaginative space? What is the novel’s role in effecting social change across centuries and geographies? Open to majors and non-majors—no prerequisites. Limit: 15 students.

FREN H202B Rêves d'empire et Renaissance française Pendant sa Renaissance (d'environ 1500 à 1600) la France n'avait pas l'empire qu'elle aurait plus tard. Néanmoins, cette

période représente un point tournant dans l'histoire de la vision impériale française—ainsi que de la critique de cette vision. Ce cours juxtapose le rêve de fonder un empire géo-politique et le programme culturel de la Renaissance. Nous verrons deux ambitions comme étroitement liées: 1) celle de transformer la France d'une ancienne colonie (de l'Empire romain) en le centre de son propre empire; et 2) celle de transmettre la Renaissance d'Italie en France. Nous étudierons une série de projets littéraires, artistiques et architecturaux qui manifestent non seulement cette fusion de culture et d'impérialisme, mais aussi sa mise en question. (Les auteurs de ces projets sont François Rabelais, Geoffroy Tory, Joachim Du Bellay, Marguerite de Navarre, Michel de Montaigne, et Léonard da Vinci, entre autres). Cette expérience nous permettra de mettre en perspective historique la pratique du colonialisme et post-colonialisme français des siècles suivants. In French.

Starting with the Code noir – a series of laws regulating slavery in the French colonies, originally passed in 1685 under Louis XIV and reinforced during the ‘Siècle des Lumières’ – we will read our way through the centuries, mixing different media (literary, filmic, museological) by both French and Francophone writers, artists and institutions.

GERM H220B German Colonial History in Africa & Afro-Germans/Europeans This course will provide a historical overview of German colonial history in Africa, and critically engage with its origins,

processes, and outcomes. We will first scrutinize colonial efforts by individual German states before the first unification of Germany in 1871, and then investigate the colonialism of Imperial Germany. In particular, we will focus on the time after the 1884/1885 Berlin Conference that sought to regulate the so-called “Scramble for Africa”. In addition, we will also familiarize ourselves with the presence of Afro-Germans and Afro-Europeans, and how their perception, reception, and representation changed over time. Furthermore, we will briefly touch on contemporary relations between Germany / Europe and Africa. Our discussions will explore issues of race and gender and draw on a variety of different materials such as historical, political, economic, medical, sociological, and literary texts and visual media.

GERM H399B Senior Conference All of our majors are required to write a senior thesis in German, or—if they are double majors—to produce a thesis in a

related discipline that has significant overlap with their work in German. They typically take a 300-level seminar in fall and write a research term paper which often becomes the foundation for their senior project. In the spring semester they take the mandatory senior conference consisting of weekly meetings and discussions of thesis proposals and drafts with their advisor(s). In writing the senior thesis, the student should demonstrate a) the capacity to conceive a theoretically informed and well designed research project b) the language skills to research and evaluate primary and secondary materials and to effectively synthesize these, and c) the analytical and methodological skills to produce an innovative and critically astute thesis.

GREK H001B Elementary Greek This two-semester course provides an introduction to the ancient Greek language and to the reading of ancient Greek

literature; from the beginning we will be reading not only sentences designed to give students practice but actual excerpts from ancient prose and poetry. We should be able to finish the basics by about the middle of the spring semester, and will spend the rest of the year reading and discussing Plato’s Crito, in which Socrates defends his decision not to escape from prison and a death sentence, and Lysias’ first oration, a speech for the defense in a trial that sheds interesting light on Athenian domestic life.

GREK H102B Introduction to Greek Poetry: Homer This course serves both as an intermediate language class (aimed at developing reading fluency in Homeric Greek) and as an

introduction to Greek poetry through the work of Homer; we will read selections from the Iliad in Greek (and the poem as a whole in English). Class time will include both translation and discussion, with attention to such topics as narrative structure, the voice of the singer/narrator, the figure of the hero, Homeric society and its values, the treatment of battle and war, and the relationship between gods and humans. We will also consider the “Homeric question,” oral composition and



its implications, Homeric language, and special features of Homeric style: type scene, ring composition, formula, and simile. We will look at different translations of the Iliad, and at the ways in which the poem has been read (and rewritten) at different times; we will also practice reading aloud in the dactylic hexameter meter of the Iliad.

LING H114B Introduction to Semantics This course focuses on the study of meaning in human language. We will explore semantic issues that arise from the lexicon,

the sentences, and the discourse. Along the way, we will investigate not only the semantic structure of natural language but also pragmatic factors that affect language use. This is a participation-intensive course. In the process, students will not only learn the basic semantic theory but will also develop skills in observing semantic patterns and analyzing these patterns in order to come to some generalizations on their own. Prerequisite(s): Any previous linguistics class or instructor permission.

MUSC H181B The Genius of Mozart What is (a) genius? A person or an attribute? Human or divine? Does the artist control it or does it control the artist?

When did this concept emerge, and how has it evolved? This course considers such questions in connection with the life and works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. We probe his biographies and letters for insights into the man, and we investigate what makes his music tick. All the while we cast a critical eye on the mythology of Mozart’s genius, a rich tradition of anecdote, intrigue, and speculation that can be hard to separate from fact. We ask how Mozart—real and imaginary—has reflected and shaped ideas of genius, considering his representation in literature and film. No prerequisite; open to all students.

PHIL H111B The Wicked and the Worthy The possibility of “doing good” in the world presumes that one can distinguish between good and bad actions, people, and

consequences. But on what basis are we to make such distinctions? What grounds, if anything, our definitions of good and bad? This course examines such concerns through a survey of the history of ethical philosophy. In assessing ethical “first principles” we will consider as well questions of intentionality, power, and historical value. Readings include selections from Mill’s Utilitarianism, Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, and Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil.

PHIL H354B Topics in Metaphysics: The Philosophy of John McDowell John McDowell is widely regarded as one of the greatest living philosophers writing in English today. In this course we

will begin by reading his Locke Lectures, delivered at Oxford University in AY 90/91 and published as Mind and World. We will then turn to a selection of his essays chosen by students in the class. McDowell has written on an enormous range of topics -- ethics, ancient philosophy, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, aesthetics, and more -- so there is bound to be something for everyone. If there is interest, we may already read a few essays in an exchange McDowell and Charles Travis have had (and are still having) on perceptual content. Attributes: Humanities

POLS H208B Political Thought in the Global South: The Case of Latin America What impact did the conquest and colonization of the Americas have on modern political thought? How did European thinkers

describe Indigenous peoples, and how did they deploy the figure of “the native” in their works? In this course, we will take a critical approach to canonical thinkers such Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau by focusing on how they approached issues of colonialism and Indigeneity. Drawing on insights from Indigenous, Black, and postcolonial theory we will explore how prominent issues in modern political thought (including theories of freedom, the social contract, natural law, progress, and individual rights) look different from vantage points outside of Europe. We will have a particular emphasis on works from and about Latin America. The course is broken up into three major sections. First, we begin with a selection of works that provide a framework for thinking about colonialism, race, and modernity. We then turn to a selection of canonical works in modern political thought, each paired with a contemporary piece of analysis. Finally, we end with a series of broader thematic readings on capitalism, liberalism, sovereignty, and modernity.

We will encounter thinkers who believe in the liberating potential of politics as well as those who hold that politics and freedom are continually at odds. The first half of the course addresses questions including: What is freedom? What is slavery? What is the relationship between freedom and other values, such as equality and democracy? Should we make laws to



protect it or, conversely, protect it from the law? We then enter a number of current and historical debates that implicate these questions about: mass incarceration; free speech on and off campus; immigration; homelessness; and the structure of the family. Readings include: Hannah Arendt, Frederick Douglass, Angela Davis, John Locke, Friedrich von Hayek, Rosa Luxemburg, Danielle Allen, Philip Pettit, Tommie Shelby, and George Orwell.

WRPR H150B Approaches to Literary Analysis Intended like other sections of the Writing Program to advance students' critical reading and analytical writing skills,

this course is geared specifically towards introducing students to the discipline that studies the literary traditions of the English language. One of its aims is to explore the broad range of thematic interests inherent in these traditions, sharing as they do common roots in the history of our language and its influences. The powers and limits of language; ideas of character and community, and the relation between person and place; heroic endeavor and the mystery of evil; loss and renovation these are among the themes to be tracked through various strategies of literary representation and interpretation in a variety of genres (epic, narrative, and poetry) and modes (realism, allegory, and romance), and across a range of historical periods. Our goal is to develop the vocabulary, skills, and knowledge necessary to understand not only how we decide what literary texts mean, but also how literary texts generate and contemplate meaning.

WRPR H186B Reinventing Quakerism: Haverford College, Rufus Jones, and the Invention of Liberal Quakerism

Quakerism isn’t stable. It varies from place to place and from generation to generation. There is a real sense in which Orthodox Quakerism (the form of Quakerism that is most closely connected to Haverford College) was reinvented in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Students in this course will examine some of the changes that Orthodox Quakerism underwent between the 1860s and the 1940s by analyzing the life and thought of Rufus Jones (1863-1948). Jones is the most famous Quaker ever to teach at Haverford and one of most influential scholars ever produced by the Religious Society of Friends.
