From George Melies¿s A Trip to the Moon (1902) to comic-book blockbusters to dark, dystopian visions, science fiction cinema has served as a powerful cultural barometer of our times and the product of industrial and commercial practices. Science fiction films create speculative, science-based fictional worlds that serve as both sources of adventure and mystery as well as platforms for ideological and philosophical speculations. Science fiction themes include science, rationality and technology versus humanity, dystopian and utopian futures, the alien and robotic/cyborgian ¿other¿ versus humanity, travels in space, time and scale, images of the modern scientist, constructions of gender/sex, horror and science fiction, and science fiction and postmodernism.

ENG 100 College Writing

ENG 100 is the first course in a three-course writing sequence. Throughout the course, students learn several fundamental ideas about writing: that writing is a process; that writing always involves reading; that writing is situational and involves specific rhetorical elements (purpose, audience, text, genre, style, mode); that writing is recursive and therefore always in-process; and that writing requires metacognitive thinking. ENG 100 students engage in a series of essay assignments that reflect points of view, engage with readings, and focus on a central thesis or project. Through these writing practices, students develop a metalanguage to articulate their writing and rhetorical choices and to demonstrate an understanding of sentence structure and syntax as central to meaning. By the end of the course, students should be able to assess a writing situation and then successfully write for that situation. Every semester. Cr 3. The following courses are considered equivalents meeting the same outcomes as College Writing and will not be allowed for additional credit, but instead will follow the USM Repeat Policy and count as a repeat of the previous grade: ENG 100, ENG 101, ENG 104, ESL 100, HON 100, LCC 110, LCC 111, RSP 100 and RSP 104.

The course also includes discussion of theoretical tools for approaching Kubricks oeuvre (auteur theory, genre theory) as well as technical achievements that are now a part of the history of Kubricks success (the Steadicam, for example). Our discussion will be informed by a cultural studies approach that emphasizes film both as a well-made object (dialogue, lighting, camera set-ups, mise-en-scène, etc.) and as a product of the culture that makes it. In terms of the latter, special emphasis will be placed on Kubricks representation of masculinity and femininity in his films, especially the representation of bodies in space.

Seven novels in seven weeks covering the second half of the 20th century into the early 21st, with particular attention to formal innovation, social and historical context, and thematic connections among texts. The novel as portrait of the country. Road novels, but not "On the Road." Fair warning that some of these books are not for the faint of heart. Several of them have scenes of extreme violence, and others include pederasty, abortion, cannibalism, and general weirdness. We can discuss why violence is so prevalent in our national literature, though careful attention to current events might provide some clues.

Novels we will read and discuss:
Vladamir Nabokov, Lolita (1958)
Richard Yates, Revolutionary Road (1961)
Thomas Pyncheon, The Crying of Lot 49 (1966)
Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon (1977)
Marilyn Robinson, Housekeeping (1980)

This class will introduce you to the emerging literature that documents how Nature can make us healthier, happier and more creative. You will learn contemplative practices that invite you to explore the natural world in a more "felt" way. This practice of embodied-ness will be the basis from which we learn to practice "deep listening," and "bearing witness." One of the fundamental modalities of this class will be to practice "beginner's mind." This state allows us to view the world through "fresh senses" and thus can be a way to access our creative potential. The beginner's mind can also be insightful when discussing complex social and political problems. In summary, the course will invite you to "be" in nature in an experiential way and invite you to drop your default ways of thinking (i.e. evoke beginner's mind), practice "presence," and offer short trainings to help you deepen your Prerequisites: Prerequisite: Honors Minor or permission

Description: Do you remember scavenging, collecting, or stumbling upon photographs, drawings, images in old books and newspapers, bits and pieces of text gathered from documents, journal entries, and newspaper headlines? Do you remember arranging your findings as collages, assemblages, or mosaics in ways that another form could not accomplish: selves, lives, memories, ideas displayed in fragments made evocative and meaningful by their juxtapositions? In the collage essay, juxtaposition becomes an essential craft element, where transitions occur through the thoughtful placement of images, stories, phrases, and found elements. How does one word, image, idea, or story lead to the next? How can fragmentation and juxtaposition serve a narrative? How can a mosaic represent a situation, a circumstance, or the self in a way other forms cannot accomplish? And, how in aggregate and arrangement do these sustain tension and build into fully realized essays?

NUR 370 Theory for Clinical Practice

This course focuses on the nursing profession and the process of knowledge development within the profession. The intent is to provide participants with opportunities to explore the processes of inquiry in nursing. Participants will have opportunities to explore various modes of nursing inquiry, including scientific, philosophical, and historical. Praxis, or the development of knowledge through the cycle of acquiring experience, reflecting on experience, and enhancing practice is central to understanding what influences nursing. Relationships between practice, theory, and research are explored. Four foundational concepts: personal meaning, ways of knowing, time/transitions, and context/culture serve to focus critical reflections in this course. In recognizing multiple ways of developing knowledge, participants have the opportunity to explore how practice may differ within varying perspectives.

PDS 414 Integrating Mindfulness-based Compassionate Communication into Education

Mindfulness serves as the foundation for learning Mindfulness-based Compassionate Communication (MBCC). Having a foundation in mindfulness knowledge, study, practice, and skills, the student will have the essential beginnings to study and practice this language which has as its core empathy for oneself and others and one's experience rather than from evaluation, blame, advice, judgments. This language is conducive to use in all aspects of education as it gives language to respect, non-judgment, compassion for self and others whether students, colleagues, school staff, and parents. This is a language of connection built upon equality rather than a language of power-over, with the intention of meeting the needs of all people, including the needs of those in conflict, going from disconnection to connection between self, other, and groups.

SOJ 101 Social Justice/Social Change

We've seen a marked rise in street protest, youth organizing (and middle-aged women organizing), digital activism and "distributed" organizing, and creative social movement tactics, in the last few years. We've also experienced an increase in conversations, on social media and in person, about social justice, historical inequalities, and visioning for more just, free, joyful, safe futures for all of us. So many of us are considering questions about what a more just future looks like, and how we can get there. This course will invite us to consider these questions together. This course will offer a background in sociological approaches to identity, inequality, justice and processes for creating social change. Cr 3.

More Information
This course will introduce students to historical and contemporary theories about social justice from an applied perspective. Students will learn how to think critically about philosophical, conceptual and political approaches to social justice from the perspective of modern day social justice movements and debates. The course will take an intersectional approach to understanding systemic power and inequality, structural and historical disadvantage, and questions about access to equal economic, political, and social rights, opportunities and resources for distinct social groups. While the course will focus heavily on the United States, students will also be introduced to comparative case studies from regions of the "Global South" (e.g., Latin and South America, South Asia).
