Course Description
This course introduces students to the use and application of a geographic information system (GIS). GIS allow the acquisition, processing, analysis, and visualization of spatial data, i.e. any data that can be assigned a location. GIS combine two of the major strands in geographic research: cartography and spatial analysis. The course uses an open source GIS application, familiarity with which forms the core of the work for the course. While learning how to use the software is an important part of the course, the focus of this course is on the basic components of GIS, the use of data and analysis and visualization of geographic data, and conducting research on substantive and topical issues. The lectures initially focus on mapping and the main parts of a GIS. Later lectures and the assessments are concerned with the tasks that a GIS is designed to handle, i.e. digitization, spatial analysis, and data management. An aspect of the course is the integration of GIS work with broader analyses and writing skills to produce relevant and comprehensible reports.

Course Description
For any society, the question of social control is crucial. How should societies respond to deviance and/or law-breaking? How is order to be maintained and who should have responsibility for this? What processes or institutional forms should it take? What powers and sanctions should be involved? What outcomes should be sought? And also of course, how do these issues relate to wider debates about justice, equality, and inclusion/exclusion? This course addresses these and related questions by examining, in broad terms, the nature of punishment and social control. The course begins by considering how social control has developed historically and comparatively, and highlighting that law is only one of a range of methods of social control. Students examine the ways in which a range of social theorists have analyzed social control, particularly through the role of punishment. The course then considers the development and role of different institutions in modern society, including the penal system and the police. Students explore various aspect of these institutions, how they operate, and the impact they have on different sections of society. The course concludes by examining a range of contemporary trends in social control and assessing their wider implications.

Course Description
This course looks at the principles of changing behavior from a process-based cognitive behavioral therapy and contextual behavioral science perspective. Key processes that result in behavior change are taught via experiential exercises and didactic teaching. Examples of processes are: positive reinforcement to increase behavior; acceptance of what we cannot control, and why it's important; cognitive defusion and looking at thoughts rather than from thoughts; perspective-taking and self awareness; mindfulness and why being here-and-now in the present is critical; and values, beliefs, and the goal setting and committed action towards living a life that matters.

Course Description
This course introduces students to the outstanding record of classical art and architecture and to an understanding of the principles, the techniques, and the process of cultural diversity and assimilation that characterized the period of classical antiquity. The course begins with an overview of early beginnings in the Aegean before considering the geometric and archaic periods that led in turn to the classical period during the 5th century BC in Athens. The course also considers the achievements of the Hellenistic age, with a particular focus on monumental sculpture, public architecture, and town planning. The rise of Rome is next considered in the context of Etruscan influences. There follows a detailed examination of the art and architecture of Republican and Imperial Rome. The manner in which Roman art was consciously fashioned on Greek models and myths and the distinct achievements of the Roman period are highlighted. This includes a study of how Roman art and spectacle reflected the patronage and power of the lives and personalities of the emperors who reigned from the time of Augustus to the fall of Rome. In addition, it includes a select appreciation of Roman portraiture, the Roman house and villa, Roman wall painting, and Roman decorative arts.

Course Description
The course is an introduction to early Irish society and culture. The period covered was one of great change for Irish society: the arrival of Christianity with a new language, the rise of new, forceful power groupings, and the opportunities and challenges posed by the intrusion of the Vikings. Underlying these transformations there was continuity and we examine the evidence for the survival of earlier belief, specifically in burial records and the role of women in the administration of associated rituals. We look at the institution of kingship, with rituals & taboos grounded in Paganism. We consider the position of slaves in Irish society, their role in the running the household, in labor, and intensive agricultural economy. Students engage with myth and saga literature of the time to deepen the their understanding of early Irish culture and society.
