ENGL 159 PZ -Ethics & Dread in Victorian Literature
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This course investigates “dread” in 19th-C British literature, grappling with an array of historical fears about the future. Whereas Frankenstein expresses anxieties about scientific innovation, Sweeney Todd manifests concern about London’s industrialization, Dracula and The Wat of the Worlds anticipates violent imperial expansion. How is dread portrayed in these stories– particularly through the frames of gender, class, and nationality? How is it experienced by readers, possibly inciting action in the real world? Ultimately, we will consider what these historical works can teach us about the events, situations, and people we dread in our own day and age.

EA 068 PZ -Ethnoecology
Institution: Pitzer
Description: This course investigates the ecological priorities and concepts of various peoples, from so-called “fourth world” hunters and gatherers to “first world” scientists. What we isolate and consider as ecological knowledge includes those aspects of culture that relate to environmental phenomena directly (e.g., resource exploitation) and indirectly (e.g., totemic proscriptions). Thus, this ecological knowledge affects subsistence and adaptation. Ethnoecology-the study of cultural ecological knowledge-begins, like the science of ecology itself, with nomenclatures and proceeds to considerations of processes. In this course we study beliefs about the relationship between humans and the environment as expressed in both Western science and the traditions of Native peoples, and we explore where these cultural systems of knowing intersect and diverge.
Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
