The aim of the course is to understand and implement the technical processes that allowed these artists to create paintings of intense luminosity and technical superiority and to synthesize this process with the students’ existing knowledge.

Each week we will gather in Speaker’s Corner to evaluate the persuasive messages of modern-day orators and to hone our critical listening skills.

(3 cr. hrs., UD, Dr. Thomas L. Wilson, [twilson@bellarmine.edu], Bellarmine University) Group A 

Positive Psychology 

After decades in which the study of mental health has focused on pathology and distress, the new field of Positive Psychology has turned to an exploration of the positive side of human experience. Questions about the origins of happiness, pleasure, fulfillment, life satisfaction and well-being will be examined from evolutionary, genetic, cultural, social, personality and environmental perspectives. Understanding these positive experiences leads to developing strategies to increase these positive outcomes on an individual level as well as a societal level. The importance of cultural factors in defining and experiencing these positive psychological outcomes will be emphasized. 
Prerequisite: one semester or term of an Introductory Psychology course 
(3 cr. hrs., UD, Dr. Eric Cooley, [cooleye@wou.edu], Western Oregon University) Group B 

Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll: Drug Cultures in the U.S. & U.K. 

In swinging London and 60’s San Francisco, hippies glorified psychedelic music, psychedelic drugs, and free love. Raves ran on ecstasy, aka the “love drug.” Why have many subcultures been defined by their music and drugs of choice? Are such subcultures merely hedonistic, or a response to oppression? We will attempt to understand “mainstream” British cultural identity as represented in museums and “afternoon tea.” Then, using historical and contemporary subcultures as examples, we will explore biological, psychological, and sociological factors that may explain how music and drugs help define identity for groups that are (willingly or unwillingly) separate from majority culture. 
Prerequisite: one semester of General Psychology or Introductory Psychology 
(3 cr. hrs., UD, Dr. Tom Johnson, [tjohnson1@isugw.indstate.edu], Indiana State University) Group B

(3 cr. hrs., UD, Mr. Michael Braun, [Michael.Braun@uky.edu], University of Kentucky) Group A

Multicultural Theatre 

As one of the theatre centers of the world and a city of great ethnic diversity, London provides a perfect setting to study multicultural theatre in order to understand the representation of different socio-cultural groups on the stage. By viewing and reading examples of ethnic, gay, and gendered theatre, students will have a more palpable experience while obtaining a deeper understanding of how different cultural groups have helped shape both British and American theatre and society in general.  
(3 cr. hrs., UD, Mr. Carlos M. Chavarria, [cchavarria@bellarmine.edu], Bellarmine University) Group B 

WOMEN’S STUDIES/HUMAN ECOLOGY/FAMILY STUDIES/HUMAN DEVELOPMENT 

Queen Victoria: A Study of Women’s Roles & Relationships 

Who was Victoria? What was her Secret? Observe the contradiction of the “ideal Victorian woman” and the reality of the working class as we walk in the footsteps of Queen Victoria, the icon of femininity, modesty and domesticity. Visits to Kensington and Buckingham Palaces, Tower of London, Upper Street, and Hyde Park for “moral recreation” provide insight into middle and upperclass Victorian family life. Textile mills, workhouses, and tenement housing allow students to step into the everyday lives of the working class. Experience the changing role of the Victorian woman, as her mission moved from the home into the public sphere of charitable work.
