Election 2008 -
Is This Any Way to Choose a President?
With Dr. Harry Basehart
(Political Science Professor Emeritus)
In this election year, the process of nominating and
electing
a president is receiving almost as much attention as the
issues and candidates. Front-loading, caucus states,
winner-take-all,
momentum, super delegates, electoral votes and
other terms are in the news as much as the candidates.
These terms make it easier to understand the process,
but
do they also point to
fundamental problems in how we
choose a president? Seminar discussions reflect on this
question by examining the politics
of the 2008
presidential nominations and election. |

Nature Love and
Loathing in America
With Dr. Michael Lewis
(History/Environmental Studies)
Americans love nature. Our
national parks are the most
widely disseminated governmental practice we have
invented. And this invention, unlike our
separation of
powers or democratic elections, is found
in even the cruelest
dictatorships. Millions of Americans a
year make secular
pilgrimages to see—to be in—nature. Yet, at the same
time, no national population, especially
per capita, uses
more resources, creates more garbage or
spews so much
pollution. We have led the world in
preserving nature; we
are the greatest global force for the destruction of
nature.
Plumb American history and culture in an
attempt to
understand our national schizophrenia |

Literary Magic:
The Seven Harry Potter Novels
With Dr. John Wenke (English)
Explore J. K. Rowling’s seven Harry Potter serial
novels from
an exclusively literary perspective.
Consider Rowling’s possible
sources, her use of point of view, her ingenious plots,
her
delineations of character, her commonplace
and magical
settings, and her lively menagerie of weird,
supernatural
creatures. Examine how a realistic
framework provides the
basis for Rowling’s coextensive world of
wizards and witches.
Each volume will be examined as a discrete
narrative
performance, but also as an integral part of an
unfolding
seven-book sequence.
Prerequisites: a love of reading; an (at
least occasionally) exuberant spirit; and
a taste for questions
that have few, if any, easy answers. |
