	FYSP 180 - Exploring Chicago 4 SS, WRi First Semester. Chicago is often imagined as the home to infamous gangsters like Al Capone or a city beset by bitter racial and political violence.

	FYSP 181 - Selfishness or Altruism? The Evolution of Sociality in Humans and Other Animals 4 NS, WRi First Semester. This course explores the ability of evolutionary theory to explain social behavior in humans and other animals. Can natural selection favor cooperation in non-human animals in spite of their “selfish genes”? Perhaps so, but can evolutionary theory account for elaborate social phenomena that seem restricted to humans–for example, religion, economic exchange, and political alliances? Discussions of these and other topics will lead us to ask “Are humans truly unique?” Prerequisites & Notes Note: P/NP grading only. Enrollment Limit: 14. Mr. Tarvin Credits: 4 hours

Prerequisites & Notes Enrollment Limit: 14. Mr. Allen Credits: 4 hours
	FYSP 184 - Don Quixote Against Reality 4 HU, CD, WRi First Semester. Don Quixote’s strategy for handling reality is one of the keys to understanding modernity in Western society. The novel has served as a model for many interactions between an individual’s idea of the world and the world he/she would like to impose it on. In the light of these thoughts, this course proposes a close reading of “Don Quixote” in the historical context of the different Early Modern medical, magic and aesthetic theories that might have affected and influenced the most widely read work of fiction ever written. Prerequisites & Notes Enrollment Limit: 14. Mr. Pérez de León Credits: 4 hours
	FYSP 187 - Death and the Art of Dying 4 HU, CD, WRi First Semester. If death is not upon us now, says Hamlet, then it will come later, and if not later, then now: being ready is what counts. But is there really an ars moriendi, an art to dying well, and does our understanding of death shape the way we live? Works of literature, philosophy, and visual art provide models of death for a comparative reflection on how different representations can lead us to re-imagine our own life and death. Prerequisites & Notes Enrollment Limit: 14. Mr. Deppman Credits: 4 hours
	FYSP 188 - Non-Violent Strategies of Conflict 3 SS, WRi First Semester. Examines the ethical and strategic utility of nonviolent forms of action. Often underestimated as a tool of political and social transformation, nonviolent resistance on numerous occasions has achieved what force often cannot: successful, legitimate regime change. Through readings of classic literature, modern political theory and case studies, the course explores issues including the concept and utility of violence; moral and strategic arguments for nonviolent forms of action; and practical methods of applying nonviolent action. Examines cases of successful and unsuccessful use of nonviolent resistance in Nazi-occupied Europe, India, the United States, and recent democratizations in Asia, Europe and Latin America. Prerequisites & Notes Enrollment Limit: 14. Ms. Mani Credits: 3 hours
	FYSP 190 - Rationality, Objectivity, and Truth in Science 4 HU, WRi First Semester. Science is often hailed as a paragon of rational and objective inquiry, a rigorous way of seeking knowledge which can overcome the potentially distorting influence of social, political, and moral values and help us get closer to truly comprehending the hidden operations of nature. In this course we will examine the extent to which this idealization offers an appropriate interpretation of scientific practice. Prerequisites & Notes Enrollment Limit: 14. Ms. Ganson Credits: 4 hours
	FYSP 193 - Destination: L.A. 4 HU, CD, WRi First Semester.

Authors may include James Ellroy, John Fante, Anna Deavere Smith, Joan Didion, Sandra Tsing Loh, and Walter Mosley; possible films include Chinatown, Better Luck Tomorrow, Boyz in the Hood, and L.A. Confidential. Prerequisites & Notes Enrollment Limit: 14. Mr. Liu Credits: 4 hours

Yet Balanchine also made dances for Broadway musicals, Hollywood films, and on at least one occasion, circus elephants.

	GEOL 111 - Glaciology, Ice Ages, and Climate Change 3 NS, QPh Second Semester. Changing climate causes glaciers to grow or shrink. Advancing ice sculpts Earth’s surface, whereas retreating ice deposits rock debris. Moreover, the ice in glaciers contains a detailed record of climate changes. This course uses glacier dynamics and glacial geology to examine the factors that control climate change, to determine how climate changed in the past, and to analyze natural and anthropogenic causes of climate change. To earn quantitative proficiency, students must complete six problems sets. Prerequisites & Notes Enrollment Limit: 60. Mr. Wojtal Credits: 3 hours
