CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
54536	Lecture-Discussion	AW	3:30PM -5:20PM	M	11 Psychology Building	Williams, A	Part of Term: A Date Range: 08/26/19-10/18/19 Section Title: Women/Pop Cult Mid-East/NAfric Section Info: In this course we focus on representations of women created by women within popular culture, primarily in the MENA region and also other predominantly Muslim societies and diaspora communities. Academic and journalistic texts, images, videos, social media profiles and music will be critiqued for how they present the complexity of women’s roles and identities. Through readings, discussions, and a final project, students will seek to answer: What does it mean to be a woman in the modern Middle East or to be a Muslim woman in the world today? How are women’s various social, religious, and civic identities negotiated on a daily basis? How are women’s representations in popular culture and self-representations being read and received by local and global audiences?

We will address debates drawn from the recent research on gender and conflict. We will explore feminist approaches to international security and critically engage concepts like nationalism, peacekeeping, and militarism. We will explore the roles and strategies of women as agents of peace and violence during and after conflict. We will discuss the entrenched constructions such as “peaceful women,” “warrior men.” Topics that we will cover include feminist approaches to security, gendered dimensions of nationalism, the relationship between gender equality and international security, violence against women and men during peace and conflict times, women’s involvement in violent political organizations, conflict-related sexual violence, and women’s role during and after the conflict. This course will enhance students’ understanding on the gendered dimensions of security as a system of social constructs that creates social hierarchies and different forms of insecurities.
70589	Lecture-Discussion	CF	3:00PM -4:50PM	R	329 Davenport Hall	Fogelman, C	Part of Term: A Date Range: 08/26/19-10/18/19 Section Title: Global Homelessness Section Info: This course investigates the problem of global homelessness. Based on the concept of “surplus people,” the seminar investigates the contemporary production of people without adequate housing. Among the questions we will address are these: What is the process by which housing is constructed in a given place, and what social, political, and economic relationships does that create, change, or shape? What is the relationship between political and economic globalization and homelessness? What factors can ameliorate the problem of homelessness?
58754	Lecture-Discussion	D	10:00AM -11:50AM	F	1060 Lincoln Hall	Schrag, D	Part of Term: A Date Range: 08/26/19-10/18/19 Section Title: Pol of Belong: Nat/Pop in Euro Section Info: This course investigates what is at stake in various processes of European inclusion and exclusion (e.g. the EU, Euroscepticism, citizenship, normative understandings of “European-ness,” etc.). A theme throughout this course will be the ideological construction of a European other (an imaged “not-Europe”) and internal and external othering processes. Special emphasis will be given to studying nationalist populism in Europe (in comparison to the United States) and its relation to neoliberal capitalism, religion, nativism, immigration, and globalization.
