Section Title: Thinking and Reasoning Section Info: In this course we consider the cognitive science of scientific reasoning, broadly construed. Beginning with a simple model of scientific method having four distinct phases, we consider some options for modeling reasoning problems distinctive of each phase. Our primary focus is on analogical reasoning, causal and explanatory reasoning, deductive reasoning, and inductive reasoning. But along the way, we will have things to say about creativity, relational reasoning, counterfactual reasoning, probabilistic reasoning, and much else! Upon completion of the course, students will be able to describe some central features of the human psychology of scientific thinking and reasoning.

55838	Conference	C	1:00PM -2:20PM	MW	Location Pending	Murphy, C	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/21/23-12/06/23 Degree Notes: Camp Honors/Chanc Schol, Humanities - Hist & Phil, and Cultural Studies - Western course. Section Title: Transitional Justice Section Info: Wrongdoing is part of the history of many, if not most, political communities around the globe. Transitional justice refers to the process of responding to wrongdoing in the context of a transition away from extended periods of conflict and/or repression. The wrongs of interest constitute mass human rights violations and often implicate state officials. In this course, we survey a range of legal processes used to respond to such wrongdoing, including amnesty, criminal punishment, truth commissions, reparations, and official apologies. The central question the course takes up is: are (all/some/none) of such varied processes are just responses to wrongdoing? To answer this question, we consider the point(s) or purpose(s) of each type of response. Are responses oriented towards fulfilling claims of victims or demands on perpetrators? Forward-looking goals and objectives? Both? We also consider their effectiveness: To what extent, and under what conditions, does a given legal response facilitate its stated purposes and goals? Our discussions draw two cases, South Africa and the United States. The United States has as part of its history the enslavement of Africans and their descendants, and racial segregation in the Jim Crow period. South Africa in 1994 held its first democratic elections, following a multi-decade period of apartheid. Note: "Restricted to Chancellor's Scholars in the Campus Honors Program (CHP).
