ENG 351 - Beowulf
Deep study in the original language of the most well-known of Old English secular literature, the epic/elegy Beowulf. This course gives equal attention to the work both as literature and language. The course explores the work as ‘literary’: a self-contained and transhistoric “text,” one with self-referential value, but also as a cultural document–that is, as the product of a particular kind of pre-/newly-Christian Northern European society, possibly drawing upon a long tradition of Germanic literary models, and the result of perhaps several different periods of literary accretion/communal composition. Additionally, as a poetic text in a foreign language, the course demands extensive translation of the work, including detailed linguistic and prosodic analysis.

ENVS 200 - Introduction to Environmental Studies
We study a variety of perspectives on humans and nature, examining questions such as “Do non-human species, or features of the landscape, have intrinsic value?” and “Can (scientific) knowledge affect human behavior?” We attempt to develop an understanding of the resources offered by humanities scholars and social and natural scientists for addressing such questions. Data-driven assessments available from scientists are examined to characterize the state of our planetary inheritance. Particular topics addressed may include food production, loss of biological diversity, and energy generation/use. Public policy (including economic, cultural and sociological considerations) regarding these and other environmental issues like proliferation of industrial pollutants and conservation of endangered species are also addressed. We intend to facilitate informed, critical, interdisciplinary reflection on central issues pertaining to the environment, in part by increasing empirical knowledge of these issues.
