  • JINS 380 - Roads to Dictatorship-Germany


    This JINS course explores the evolution of dictatorship in German culture by tracing the literary, artistic and societal influences that documented and often contributed to a nationalistic mentality receptive to absolute rule and social conformity. During the first half of the course, students examine (1) the Holy Roman Empire of Karl the Great (Charlemagne) and Frankish nation building- unjust seizure, compulsory conversion and educational reform as control mechanisms, and (2) the German empire of Friedrich Barbarossa and the rise of knightly- and crusading culture as an imperial ideology. During the second half, the despotic regimes of Friedrick the Great, Wilhelm II (the Second Reich), and Adolf Hitler (the Third Reich) reveal similar literary and social phenomena - the reverence for authority, conformity, all things military, and finally, an acceptance and cultivation of xenophobia.

  • JINS 383 - Years of Change: 1968 (template course)


    Social-cultural change, like its analog in the natural world, is not always a linear process. Most of the important changes are relatively sudden, catastrophic, chaotic and wasteful. The status quo endures, while, unnoticed, pressures build, and the resulting tectonic event distorts or destroys institutions. Destabilized governments often react violently. A Machiavellian desire for order is opposed to the forces of change, and a sharp polarization creates new social geographies that may last for generations. 1968 was such a year. We explore the motivations of the major figures involved, their successes and failures, and the new social algorithm that emerged as expressed politically, in the literature and music of the time here in the U.S., and its surprising impact worldwide.

  • JINS 389 - Influence of the Gene


    This junior interdisciplinary seminar explores the influence that the concept of the gene and the field of Genetics in general have had on society. The seminar begins by exploring the literature regarding the definition of the gene from pre-Mendelian thought to our modern molecular understanding. The seminar reviews the early roots of genetics as a sub-discipline of biology and how the practical application of plant and animal breeding in the context of the newly conceived genetic principles lead to positive and negative eugenic practices. The seminar explores the historical and contemporary view of the interrelationship between the gene, environment and phenotype. Lastly, the seminar focuses on the more subtle examples of biological determinism that have been pervasive in societies (e.g., cultural practices, literature and mass media), and discuss how these stereotypes can and have influenced human thought including prejudice, racism, ideology and individual and collective world views.
