The Iron Age of Britain and Ireland is famed for its fabulous objects adorned with Celtic art: swords, shields, and cauldrons; torcs and horse-gear; as well as technological marvels such as the chariot. It has also given rise to some of the first "named" individuals we know from later prehistory as it entered the world of Rome: Commius, Boudicca, and Cartimandua. In this course, students explore the reality behind these myths, during this fascinating millennium (c. 800 BC-100 AD): the invention of smithing iron, the creation of the hillforts which still dominate our skylines, the fabulous hoards of weaponry and horse-gear buried in pits and rivers, and the burials through which we can explore the lives and deaths of some exceptional figures from the past. We will examine conflict and violence, feasting and craftwork, agricultural labor, and the sacrifice of both people and things.

This course looks into important roles that the judicial branch in the U.S. and its judges have played in the evolution of the U.S. Constitution. The course first examines theoretical considerations behind the role of the judiciary. Then it looks at how the U.S courts have performed this role, organized around three major themes: 1) the extent to which the ideology of the judges affect their decision-making; 2) the effectiveness of the courts in bringing about social change, and 3) the tensions between the judiciary and the other political branches. This course examines the aforementioned topics through cases that have divided U.S. society and politics-- such as abortion rights, same-sex marriage, gun regulation, racial and gender equality, and the President's power over immigration.
