Course Description
This course considers the nature of sociology in terms of its historical origins, its major theoretical traditions, and key dimensions of social life. The course examines different dimensions of social inequality, focusing on the main social institutions and patterns of social relations that determine the small matters of whether we go hungry, whether we have shelter, the nature of a university education, and why "witches" are no longer burnt at the stake. The course considers how we define the world and how we suffer or benefit from these definitions, while also considering the ways society "makes" us, and how we in turn "make" society.

Course Description
This is a course about the interconnections between cities and literature. Students read prose fiction, poetry, and drama, exploring how various cities, including Dublin, Belfast, London, Chester, Paris, Prague, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, figure in these writings and how the writers themselves interacted with the cities they lived and worked in. Because the authors and texts on the course represent a variety of historical periods, from medieval to the present, students also examine the relationship between history, politics, and the changing trends in literary representations of urban locations.

Course Description
The dominant patterns and typologies of western European architecture in the early modern period originate in Italy in the 15th century. In the cities and courts of central and northern Italy, a virtual laboratory of architectural form generated new typologies of domestic, civic, and ecclesiastical architecture. In particular the development of domestic or residential design as a subject of focused architectural endeavor reflects the increasing secularization of European society.

Course Description
Because ULYSSES rewards careful attention to detail, the main focus of this class is a slow, patient, and close reading of Joyce's novel. The course begins with A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN before moving into ULYSSES. The course ends with a few classes that present an introduction to FINNEGAN'S WAKE. The general theme of the class is the evolution of Joyce's artistic sensibility contrasted with Joyce's representation of that evolution. The course also approaches the texts from a variety of perspectives: Joyce as an “Irish writer”; Joyce as an “English writer”; Joyce as a “European writer”; the poetics of style and form; the politics of style and form; humor as style; modes of ideology (race, religion, gender, and nation); framing a literary tradition; and the production and reception of Modernism. The course also discusses the composition of ULYSSES as is indicated on the NLI ULYSSES drafts.
