	T3 4040 - Reconstructing Roman Slavery 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. Requisites: 8 Hours in (AAS or ANTH or CLAS or HIST) and Sr only Credit Hours: 3 General Education Code (students who entered prior to Fall 2021-22): 3 Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.

	T3 4071 - The Literacy Crisis: Origins and Effects What is the literacy crisis? Our environment bombards us with increasing amounts of information: images, words, text. Those who speak of a literacy crisis assert that a large portion of the United States’ population is overwhelmed by rising demands made on them and handicapped by inadequate literacy skills. This problem can be demonstrated by the poor performance of students on international tests of reading and writing, and employers’ charges their workers cause accidents and decrease production because of limitations in their reading and writing skills. To assess the validity of these claims, this course reviews the historical development of literacy; the personal and professional applications of literacy; the power of literacy to effect change within the developing world; the educational strategies employed by U.S. schools to foster literacy skills; and the performance of students and workers on reading and writing tasks. The course also addresses the tensions that complicate efforts to establish a definitive standard for writing and reading skills. Some of these tensions arise from the evolving nature of reading and writing skills and from the demands made by various activities and professions on these same skills. Beyond the tensions produced by changes within literacy itself, other changes might arise from employers’ efforts to acquire the most highly skilled workers at the lowest possible wage. Students critique the arguments for and against the existence of this crisis and suggest responses based on their views. Students also study literacy practices within their areas of study and propose solutions to literacy problems that arise within their disciplines. Requisites: Sr only Credit Hours: 3 General Education Code (students who entered prior to Fall 2021-22): 3 Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.

Be able to explain the key factors affecting the development of literacy in its three primary locations: Near East, China, and America. Be able to explain the historical, sociological, and economic forces contributing to the spread of literacy within societies and throughout the planet. Be able to use appropriate theoretical concepts to identify the contributions made by literacy skills to daily tasks, civic responsibilities, and recreational and enrichment activities. Be able to apply insights from studies of previous literacy struggles to identify the educational, historical, and cultural factors that limit a population’s acquisition of literacy.

	T3 4104 - God and Science in the Western World This interdisciplinary course examines the relationship between religion and science in the Western world, with a particular focus on the era from sixteenth until the late nineteenth century. It is a subject which has vexed historians for nearly a century and a half. Historians originally conceived of religion and science as inherently antagonistic forces which were necessarily at war with one another. The so-called “warfare school” argued that the history of modern science was the history of the science’s gradual, indeed, inevitable victory over religion. Others, however, have countered that religion and science were often allies. Still others have contended that the relationship between religion and science cannot adequately be described in terms either of conflict or harmony. Their relations were, instead, complex and can only be appreciated properly when considered in their particular, contingent historical contexts. Students will be forced to grapple with these conceptual models as we cover the broad sweep of religio-scientific development in the Western world, with particular emphasis on the period from 1500 until 1900. We shall also zero in on particular topics Galileo’s trial, Newton’s alchemical experimentation, Hume’s attack on the miraculous, Darwin’s theory of evolution, and the Wilberforce-Huxley debates, for instance, which illuminate the distinctive relationship between religion and science in the Western world.

	T3 4151 - Entropy and Human Activity Examines the application of the concept of entropy to human society as a whole, through the critical reading and discussion of works by advocates of multiple energy sources, using the viewpoints and patterns of inquiry of several disciplines. Energy is conserved, but most physical processes transform available energy into forms less readily available (thereby “increasing entropy”). Several topics in the physical sciences are presented in some detail to provide adequate technical background. World population and per capita consumption are increasing exponentially. Burning fossil fuels creates toxic byproducts and accelerates global warming. Extractive industries (e.g., agriculture and mining) reduce the natural resources available to future generations. Can we expect solar or nuclear power to “save the day?” Should humanity change priorities to minimize increases of entropy? To what extent can physical principles sensibly be generalized so far? These and other questions provide a focus to our inquiry. Requisites: Sr only Credit Hours: 3 General Education Code (students who entered prior to Fall 2021-22): 3 Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
