Justice and Judgment in the Western Imagination: How do we decide what is right and fair? When, if ever, is it permissible to break the law?   What is the relationship between justice and mercy, and between justice and revenge? How should we respond to historical wrongs and how can we rectify social and legal injustices today? Such questions have not only preoccupied jurists and philosophers but have also figured prominently in literature. In this seminar, we consider how imaginative writers from the classical era to the present day have examined the nature, problems, and possibilities of justice. At the same time that we examine the contributions of literature to pressing moral and legal debates, we work on honing your close reading and writing skills. Texts may include Sophocles鈥檚 Antigone; William Shakespeare鈥檚 The Merchant of Venice; Herman Melville鈥檚 Billy Budd and 鈥淏artleby, the Scrivener鈥�; Henry David Thoreau鈥檚 鈥淐ivil Disobedience鈥�; Frederick Douglass鈥檚 Narrative of the Life; Susan Glaspell鈥檚 鈥淎 Jury of Her Peers鈥�; Arthur Miller鈥檚 The Crucible; poems by Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, and W.H. Auden; and Ferdinand von Schirach鈥檚 The Collini Case. Our literary texts will be supplemented by selections from jurists, philosophers, and historians, and we will view several film adaptations.

Contemplation and Action in the Digital Age: This course will examine the long-standing dynamic between contemplation and action, from its theological and philosophical roots to its resurgence in the frenetic pace of the contemporary digital age.  Given our Jesuit, Catholic setting, we are well situated to learn and appreciate the value of contemplative and mindfulness practices for forming socially conscious individuals who are dedicated to making the world a better place for everyone.

Brave New Worlds: As Oscar Wilde famously wrote: 鈥淎 map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets sail.鈥� Wilde鈥檚 quotation hits on a profound truth of the human condition: our belief that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. The search for brave new worlds has produced global exploration, population migration, colonization, military revolution, and scientific discovery. It has also pushed philosophers, writers, and poets to ask deeper questions about the breadth and reach of government, about collective political action, about citizen鈥檚 rights, about revolution and reform. This course will build our close reading and analytic skills by focusing on how our brave new worlds are described. Are these dreams? Travel narratives? Abstract philosophical debates? What kinds of rhetorical strategies do these texts use to imagine brave new worlds? Surely, there is no time like the present to ask ourselves: what is government and what, or whom, is it good for? Texts include: Plato鈥檚 Republic, Thomas More鈥檚 Utopia, Voltaire鈥檚 Candide, Octavia Butler鈥檚 Parable of the Sower and N.K. Jemisin鈥檚 Fifth Season.

Claiming our Attention: Long Form Art and Argument: With the proliferation of new media over the last several decades, complexity of thought has come under immense pressure. This has become especially acute in light of Big Tech鈥檚 intense competition for our attention. And yet to be savvy consumers of media, appreciators of art, critical thinkers in all disciplines, and informed and responsible citizens of the world we need to possess the ability to see clearly the variety of aspects, levels, and perspectives involved in the problems we face as individuals and as social groups. In this class we will train ourselves for sustained immersion in and analysis of complexity; we will begin with humanity鈥檚 first long-form genre, epic poetry, and proceed into other art forms and other disciplinary arguments. Ultimately, our goal will be to assess how the ways of thinking and knowing we develop relate to the health of the public sphere in the twenty-first century.

Creative Minds: Popular portrayals of artistic genius abound. They circulate as films (Pollock (2000), Frieda (2002)) and novels (The Moon and Sixpence (Maugham), The Hours (Cunningham)), are as large as opera and intimate as one-person shows. Stories of creative excellence excite us, and are often better remembered than the excellence itself. But what is creative genius? Does such a thing even exist outside of the larger than life stories that spring up around it? In this class, we will range across artistic disciplines, encountering visual and performing arts, literature and popular writing, to explore the lives and work of artists and writers and the stories that surround them. We will read and see their work, but also the critical writing produced by and about them and the popular portrayals that have come to define them. We will look at art, see performances, listen to music, and read. Then we will write about and present what we鈥檝e found. By demystifying the notion of creative genius, we will become closer to our shared, and open, heritage.

Narrative Psychologists suggest that contemporary adults define themselves through an identity life story 鈥� one鈥檚 reconstructed past, perceived present, and anticipated future. We tell ourselves and others stories about who we were and who we want to be. Such stories are core to self-understanding and to social interactions. Participants in this seminar will explore different methods for collecting and analyzing these narratives of self.  We will learn how to interpret stories for psychological meaning.

The Art and Science of Creativity examines how new ideas are developed and applied in a range of fields, from music to business and science. Students will be exposed to research that explores the nature of creativity, including concepts from psychology, biology and the social sciences. We will examine and apply techniques of famous innovators and creatives in fields such as writing, engineering and entrepreneurship to see how creativity can successfully be applied across disciplines.

A lecture series with planned discussion sections, this seminar will explore what is required to safely send humans to Mars. NASA and SpaceX have set a goal to send humans within 10鈥�15 years but the details of the journey have not been provided. Students will explore the multitude of challenges including, but not limited to, rocket and habitat design, and the effects of microgravity and radiation all within the historical context of human exploration. No specialized knowledge of math or physics is required. Register for any of the three sections; they are identical
