Debates over the status of Middle Eastern women have been at the center of political struggles for centuries, and they continue to be flash points for controversy in the present day. To begin unpacking these debates, this course will take an historical and thematic look at evolving roles of women in Arab, Turkish, and Persian societies, comparing rhetoric to some of the realities of women’s lives. The first part of the course will take a chronological survey from the pre-Islamic era to the twentieth century. The latter portion will focus on issues connected to nationalism, feminism, law and Islamism. Throughout, we will interrogate the politics of gender, the political and social forces that circumscribe Middle Eastern women’s lives, and the individuals who claim authority to speak for women. Special attention will be give to the ways in which the position of women has been debated within imperial, nationalist, and Islamist political programs and the role that women have played in shaping those debates.

HIST 3580 - Arab Uprisings 5 credit hours
The wave of revolutionary uprisings in the Arab world collectively referred to as the Arab Uprisings were a surprise to many. Experts had long been aware of deep political, social and economic problems in the region, but the uprisings, which started on Dec. 18, 2010 have challenged assumptions about the passivity of Arab subjects and the intransigence of authoritarian regimes. As violence continues in some areas and Islamist regimes take hold in others, many questions will follow. What will democracy look like there? What will happen to minorities in each state? Will women be equal participants in the public sphere? What roles will Turkey and Iran play in the region? And what role should the U.S. play? This course will interrogate these questions, among others. The class will delve into a brief history of each country and examine the circumstances that gave rise to the uprisings that began in 2010. Special attention will be given to the role of cultural forms, most particularly social media, in promoting, sustaining, and shaping protestors’ messages. Cross-listed with INST 3580.

HUMT 1010 - Reading Seminar 2 credit hours
This course has two main goals: to develop attentive reading skills and to help students craft a rigorous definition of what it means to understand a text well. A student’s job in the course is to come fully prepared to class ready to speak, listen, and respond to others based on the text. This involves both venturing an informed interpretation and revising it in light of alternate possibilities. Ultimately, a seminar is a group that embarks upon a collective quest for meaning.

HUMT 1210 - Creative Expression for Peace and Justice 5 credit hours

Various pieces are used to allow students insight into how art reveals the internal struggles of those striving against injustice, those facing ethical and emotional challenges within the context of the greater social system in which they find themselves. Students will gain perspective on the context of social injustice by studying the insights of thinkers and observers who record conditions “on the ground” among those living at the bottom of the socio-economic construct. Students will bring what they learn from these texts to their own, original piece, composing works which reveal and combat social injustice in the context of the contemporary American landscape.

HUMT 1460 - Teaching in the City 5 credit hours

The story of American public education is, among other things, a story about place: you can’t talk about schools without talking about neighborhoods, and you can’t talk about neighborhoods without talking about schools. In this class, we will begin to contextualize your work in local schools by looking at the history of Seattle and Seattle U’s neighborhood in particular. We’ll also ask what it means to teach in urban schools. We ask: What is an “urban school”? What is unique about teaching in the city?

Does natural science occupy a privileged position when it addresses perennial questions about human nature? Are religious beliefs compatible with a scientific worldview? What are social identities and in what sense can we describe gender and race as social constructs? How do social identities inform our understanding of the world? Given all that we know about the way that our lives are shaped by biology and culture, can we still describe human beings as free? The aim of this course is to introduce students to a series of contemporary philosophical debates about the status of science and religion, the nature of social identities, and the nature of human freedom. Along the way, we’ll explore how these debates mirror some of the conflicts in contemporary political discourse.

HUMT 2010 - Ethical Reasoning for Peace and Justice 5 credit hours
Are some wars morally justifiable? How should states respond to terrorism? How should governments respond to social injustice within their own borders? Do states owe reparations or compensation to the descendants of victims of state-sponsored violence and discrimination? This course begins by examining the principal theories of contemporary ethics (consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics), a debate over moral and cultural relativism, and three competing views on the nature of justice in the state. It then wrestles with three difficult philosophical problems that are essential for developing justifiable moral critiques of states and their constituents. Are human rights universal? Should we hold individuals responsible for the misdeeds of their country or social group? Should we relax our ethical standards during political emergencies? Finally, it analyzes moral dilemmas that arise when states engage in violence outside of their borders and when they attempt to address their own histories of discrimination and violence.
