As one of our authors, Angela Carter, writes: “I really do believe that a fiction absolutely self-conscious of itself as a different form of human experience than reality (that is, not a logbook of events) can help to transform reality itself.” Throughout the semester, we’ll develop and put into practice the critical skills of close reading, interpretation, and analysis in order to consider how writers recast these well-known tales—and to what ends.(5T) May be taken for credit only once.

Description
In this course, students explore psychological frameworks related to the process of learning, with a focus on teaching methods, instructional processes, and individual differences in learning. Additionally, this course explores the impact of trauma on learning and the journey towards radical healing. The following psychological frameworks serve as the lenses through which students seek to explore, understand, assess, and create alternative learning environments: cognitive psychology, trauma psychology, and the psychology of radical healing. This course is designed as a seminar. Thus, students are expected to participate actively in discussions while holding themselves accountable for their realizations of and connections to the processes of learning, the impact of trauma on these processes, and the importance of radical healing in addressing trauma. Students are encouraged to apply their understanding of these processes to their own analyses. Alternative learning practices including healing circles, group assessments, and evaluative exploration of curriculum are employed. Offered each fall and alternate spring terms. May be repeated for credit if topic is different. (3B)

Description
An exploration of a variety of philosophical and historical approaches to the study of education and youth are integrated throughout this class. Students’ own educational experiences are taken into consideration through digital stories. These student experiences, in school and out of school, as well as the students’ developmental histories and personal philosophies, are considered in their relation to each other, as sources of knowledge and understanding. Students read and write about philosophers and theorists from a broad range of traditions, periods, and places. Integrated with philosophical explorations, students undertake historical investigations of schooling youth; this course focuses on the history of the U.S. and the development of ideas of democratic schooling in contexts of inequality. These explorations also include investigating how media and propaganda impact societal norms and influence education and youth. Additionally, a strong emphasis is placed on anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-heterosexism, and (dis)able bodies. In their writing and face-to-face interactions, students are strongly encouraged to employ philosophical and historical methodologies for their own self-expression. Offered each fall and alternate spring semester. (5T)

Topics in Critical Identity Studies: Speculative Activism (1). All activism is founded on hope. It begins with a belief that society not only should change, but that it has the capacity to do so. Yet it’s difficult to confront so many overwhelming issues in the world without losing hope and giving up your own joy in the process. Speculative Activism is a course designed to confront the burnout inherent in existing in our current world, acknowledging the ways in which all progress starts with internal healing and the creation of community. We will focus on methods of personal healing and reflection, while building strategies that can be utilized beyond the classroom. The course will end with a collaborative worldbuilding project that will allow students to imagine what a better world means to them, on a societal and an individual level. It aims to provide students with the tools they need to confront the world without burning themselves out in the process. May be repeated for credit if topic is different.

Introduction to Historical Thinking: Nineteenth and Twentieth-Century Colonialism (1). This course explores major themes in the history of nineteenth and twentieth-century colonialism. It focuses on the British and French Empires but also includes some aspects of German and Belgian colonial history. The class analyzes the mindset, ideologies and strategies of the European colonizers, while equally taking into account the experiences and counter-strategies of the colonized populations. Students will learn about the economic, political and cultural effects that colonialism had on the non-Western part of the world. At the same time, we will also examine the influence that colonialism had on European culture and society. In addition to providing an overview of the period, the class will prepare students to undertake their own original research in colonial history, resulting in a research paper at the end of the semester. We will explore different methodological and theoretical approaches to colonial history, discuss strategies of developing and conceptualizing research questions, and practice analyzing a wide range of historical sources from different parts of the world, including political writings, novels, poems, and movies.

Description
Topics in History: Drawing History and Culture (1). This textually based course will focus on skills necessary to build deep knowledge of historical and ethnographic narratives. The approach we will take to active reading goes well beyond common practices such as underlining and creating sticky note dividers. We will carefully read a series of brief but significant textual passages during the term, ranging across a diversity of genres, and learn different ways of plumbing the details of those documents, as well as the sequence of arguments surrounding them. Prominent among these abilities is active “mapping,” along with building skills (from scratch; absolutely no background is assumed) in drawing—a profoundly useful skill for all highly proficient readers. The dexterity that comes with this range of abilities is shared by only a small subset of readers, and the goal of this course is to make each student one of them. Needless to say, these techniques are highly transferable to a wide range of sources, from legal documents and theoretical writings to scientific findings. Finally, an ability to map and draw based on close reading can bring significant readiness for active research (from archival to fieldwork), as well. Open to first-year students.

Writing Seminar: The Personal Essay (1). This class helps students to develop their reading, writing, and thinking skills for college-level work by focusing on the personal essay as a vehicle for addressing the following topics: how your personal background might relate to your decision to come to Beloit; your observations and experiences in your first semester at Beloit; and exploration of potential pathways for the terrain ahead (such as areas of study and social life) and its possible relevance to your life after Beloit. Reading and research will provide both rhetorical models of diverse writing styles and perspectives about a range of topics to inform and enrich your own thinking and writing about the college experience. Throughout the semester we engage in a regular collaborative writing practice on all aspects of effective writing process.
