Consumer Culture in Historical Perspective
HUM1077 - 4 Credits - Intermediate
- Tuesday 11:30am-12:50pm in Rice-Aron Library/102
- Friday 11:30am-12:50pm in Rice-Aron Library/102
Faculty: Kathryn Ratcliff
This course traces the emergence and development of a consumer oriented culture in the United States from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. We will explore the relationship between consumer culture and democracy, between places of consumption and places of production (leisure and work), between consumer goods and activities and issues of social identity, particularly relating to gender, class and race. We will also pay attention to movements and organizations which have resisted or challenged aspects of a dominant consumer culture. By the end of the course, students should have an understanding of the history of consumer culture in its related economic, political, social and cultural dimensions and an ability to read critically the messages and structures of contemporary consumer society. The class is designed to allow students to pursue particular research interests throughout the semester.

The Politics of Change: Radical Movements in the Late Twentieth Century U.S.
CDS581 - 4 Credits - Intermediate
- Tuesday 10:00am-11:20am in Apple Tree
- Thursday 10:00am-11:20am in Apple Tree
Faculty: Brenda Foley, Kathryn Ratcliff
This interdisciplinary seminar will explore the complex historical and cultural landscape of varied latter 20th century "radical" movements, offshoots, breakaways and "movements within movements." We ask: what cultural sequence gives rise to a movement or undoes it? And what are the historic parallels to movements in our own era? The class will blend historical perspective with oral history projects and community engagement, studying antecedent movements such as the Radical Faeries, Communes and The Diggers to gain context for contemporary parallels and outgrowths. The class will be co-taught by Obie award winning playwright and VPL artist-in-residence, Ain Gordon, and joined by visiting artists and community organizations, such as HB Lorenzo of Green Mountain Crossroads (and the Rural Queer Oral History Project), who will serve as collaborative partners and resources for student projects. The class is open to students across disciplines who have interests in using oral history and the construction of narratives in their Plan work. Prerequisite: None

Introduction to Cultural Anthropology
SSC609 - 3 Credits - Introductory
- Tuesday 8:30am-9:50am in Apple Tree
- Thursday 8:30am-9:50am in Apple Tree
Faculty: Nelli Sargsyan
Through this course we launch into an introduction to cultural anthropology, one of the four fields of American anthropology. In this course we will broadly familiarize ourselves with the history of the discipline in the U.S. and elsewhere, its methods, key figures, and key anthropological concepts, such as (gendered and raced) culture(s), social structure(s), forms of kinship (to name a few) across cultures and societies. The broad questions that we will explore throughout the course will revolve around locating and making sense of similarities despite the obvious differences in human experience cross-culturally, as well as differences within the obviously shared commonalities. We will do so through engaging multimedia resources, writing, reading, presentations, and discussions. Most importantly, you will be able to creatively apply the knowledge you will develop in the course to the course assignments by experimenting with different anthropological methods and approaches. Ultimately, our goal in this course is to develop the anthropological way of knowing (that of familiarization and denaturalization), as it can create transformative moments of critical thinking and compassionate understanding.

Faculty: Nelli Sargsyan
How do we come to experience our daily lives as different kinds of "women" and "men"? How do we embody our gendered experiences informed by larger scale gendered historical and sociopolitical processes? What are the consequences of conforming to and/or challenging the status quo? How do these gendered processes exclude certain kinds of sexualities from and include others in the construction of the state and the nation? What implications do these inclusions and exclusions have for the nations and the citizens/individuals involved? These are some of the questions that this course will deal with in an attempt to engage you in a meaningful re-examination and denaturalization of culturally "appropriate" femininities and masculinities through various theoretical anthropological (and other disciplinary) perspectives and cross-cultural ethnographic research. We will untangle the relationship between biological characteristics of sexes and culturally "appropriate" roles for genders in different cultural contexts through ethnographic research. By situating gender in relation to sociohistorical circumstances in which gender, race, class, and sexuality intersect and mold our daily interactions, we will seek to understand how what is often considered as "natural" is carefully and consistently culturally produced and reproduced. Prerequisite: None

- Thursday 11:30am-12:50pm in Brown Science/Sci 117A
Faculty: Todd Smith
Biochemists used to debate the nature of proteins: their composition, structure and function. Now we know many extraordinary details of the shapes of proteins and how they function. For example, how they help our bodies acquire nutrients from food, use those nutrients for fuel and carry oxygen to our tissues. In particular, researchers have revealed the intricacies of how a protein's structure is related to its function. In this course we will employ an evolutionary perspective as we discuss major topics such as amino acids, proteins and protein structure, bioenergetics, enzymes and enzyme function. We will also study major metabolic pathways and their key control points. Our goals are for you to develop a thorough understanding of how enzymes work and to be familiar with key metabolic pathways and how they are controlled.

Biochemistry of the Cell Lab
NSC425 - 2 Credits - Intermediate
- Thursday 1:30pm-4:50pm in Brown Science/Sci 112
Faculty: Todd Smith
This laboratory will be an introduction to techniques commonly used by biochemists, and must be taken in conjunction with Biochemistry of the Cell. Your work in the laboratory will focus on a semester-long investigation of an enzyme. This project will allow you to perform your own biochemistry research project in which you will employ the principles of chemistry and biochemistry that we study in the classroom. The protein you will investigate is already well-characterized. That is, previous research has described in detail the properties of the enzyme. Your goal is to determine if the enzyme you isolate is the same as that described in the primary literature. To answer this question we will begin with basic laboratory procedures such as preparing reagents, chromatography and performing a protein assay. We will then explore techniques for studying the activity of enzymes, and methods for separating proteins, such as one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis. Finally we will employ immunochemical methods for the identification of proteins. Throughout this semester-long project you will also learn about the procedures for data acquisition and analysis that will allow you to draw meaningful conclusions from your results.

Chemistry has a rich history, including ancient theories on the nature of matter and recipes for converting lead into gold. Modern research and applications are equally exciting. For example, models of chemical bonds explain why carbon dioxide and methane are greenhouse gases, and some of the colors we see in the Aurora Borealis. We will explore these topics as we learn about atomic structure and the periodic table, reaction stoichiometry, chemical bonds, molecular structure and other concepts central to modern chemistry. Many of these topics are related to current health and environmental issues. For example, discussions of pH and reduction-oxidation reactions include research on the natural chemistry of surface waters and the effects of acid rain on aquatic organisms.

Faculty: Kristin Horrigan
In this class, students will explore both the art and the craft of making dances (in the modern dance tradition). Responding to specific assignments, students will create a number of dances throughout the semester, bringing a new draft to class each week. Class sessions will focus on viewing and discussing students' work, and on exploring tools for the creative process and ideas about composition. Attention will be given to learning how to give and receive choreographic feedback, and to editing and developing existing choreography. In addition, students will study the choreographic methods of other artists through viewing videos and reading texts. This course will require students to work independently and commit a substantial amount of time outside of class to the completion of choreographic studies. Students will present their final projects in an end of the semester showing. This course may be repeated for credit; assignments, readings, and special topics will differ each semester. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor
Contact Improvisation
ART537 - 2 Credits - Introductory
- Tuesday 1:30pm-2:50pm in Serkin Center/Dance
- Friday 1:30pm-2:50pm in Serkin Center/Dance
Faculty: Kristin Horrigan
Contact Improvisation (CI) is an exploration of the movement that is possible when two bodies are in physical contact, using each other's support to balance and communicating through weight and momentum. CI was invented in the United States in the early 1970s and it has since spread all around the world, where it is practiced both as a social dance and as a component of post-modern dance performance. In this class, we will learn basic skills and concepts to enter the practice of contact improvisation. We will work to develop comfort with our bodies, to trust one another, to take risks, to make choices in the moment, and to understand the forces of physics as they apply to the body in motion. We will listen to sensation, communicate through skin and muscles, develop reflexes for falling and flying and find access to our own strength and sensitivity. Prerequisite: None
Intermediate/Advanced Modern Dance Technique & Repertory: Body, Place and Progress
ART2262 - 2 Credits - Multi-Level
- Monday 1:00pm-3:20pm in Serkin Center/Dance
- Thursday 1:00pm-3:20pm in Serkin Center/Dance
Faculty: TBD TBD, Kristin Horrigan
This course plumbs the deep, symbiotic relationship between dance technique, sensation and performance. We will explore diverse movement modalities and move through vigorous choreography in order to uncover how dance functions as a tool for exploring ideas and raising questions. Central concepts will include availability, sequentiality and play.
While the first section of each class will be devoted to technique, the second section will engage students as collaborators and performers in an evolving, community-based performance project. This project, directed by Michael Bodel and assisted by Kristin Horrigan alongside other multi-disciplinary artists, brings together a range of local people of all ages in an expansive outdoor performance in the Green Mountain Orchards in Putney in Spring 2016. The project is site-specific in that the rural landscape serves as inspiration and stage for the work. By sourcing the history, character and current challenges facing the land and people, we will explore how dance can create agency and serve as an archive.
Class will become a testing ground for new choreography. Students
in this course will present sections of the work we create at the
end of the semester, and those who wish may continue to participate
in the project: teaching choreography, working with community
groups and performing in the spring performance.

Following WWII, popular American movies from the war years were released in France all at once. French critics saw a huge change in style from the screwball comedies of the pre-war years. The stories, settings, characters and dialogue of these films from the early 1940's had a dark, even cynical, tone. The French gave it a name: film noir. We'll watch and discuss a selection of noir classics--and some not so well known ones. We'll watch Hollywood noir films and more, including foreign and more contemporary homages to the style, with tough guys and femmes fatales in tales of infidelity, betrayal, lust, greed and ruthless ambition. We will also read and write about the genre and come to terms with the dark side of American cinema. Prerequisite: None

There are a number of approaches to the study of language. This course introduces the uninitiated to linguistics as cognitive science. It gives a clear demonstration of the application of the scientific method in linguistic theory. The recurring theme of equivalence classes in linguistic computation ties together the presentation of materials from phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics to help students understand the place of linguistics in the broader context of the cognitive sciences by drawing on examples from vision, audition and even animal cognition. It integrates empirical issues of linguistic analysis with philosophical questions that arise in the study of language and treatment of the history of the field. This course is appropriate for students who are either curious about how language works or passionate about linguistic theory. Prerequisite: None

"The Soul Has Bandaged Moments": The Gothic Imagination: Walpole to Morrison
HUM1425 - 4 Credits - Intermediate
- Tuesday 1:30pm-2:50pm in Dalrymple/D33E
- Friday 1:30pm-2:50pm in Dalrymple/D33E
Faculty: Gloria Biamonte
Delving into the darkest recesses of the human soul, the gothic novel of the late 18th century was a new sort of narrative that had at its center the potent intersection of sex, violence, and the law. Beginning with Horace Walpole (The Castle of Otranto, 1764) and the first writers in the "School of Terror" (Ann Radcliffe and Matthew Lewis), we will consider how these authors used Gothic excesses - all types of villainous acts (forced marriages, imprisonment, the desecration of corpses) committed by all sorts of villainous characters (incestuous parents, monks in league with the devil, insane scientists) - to explore the worlds of sexual and social transgressions. We will then move to the19th century transformations of the genre (Shelley, Keats, Coleridge, Stevenson, Stoker), and close with the legacy of the Gothic in the 20th and 21st century (Faulkner, Borges, Allende, Marquez, Morrison). Whether set in a castle, a city, or a sleepy village house, gothic literature pushes at the boundaries of what is known and what can be known, asking whether we can separate pain from pleasure, reason from unreason, mind from spirit, self from other, justice from corruption and punishment from tyranny.

Faculty: Frederique Marty
This course will introduce students to the process of French colonization through French and Francophone writers and films. First, we will examine historical conditions that made French colonization possible. Francophone literature is written mainly in French by non-French citizens whose native languages are not French. This literature comes from the former French Empire which includes such countries as Canada and the Caribbean, Algeria (North Africa), Vietnam (Indochina) and Senegal (Africa). Throughout the course we will explore such concepts as multicultural, bi-racial and transnational. Special attention will be given to the French decolonization of Algeria (1954-1962) and the defeat of French military forces in Diên Biên Phu (1954). In addition, we will examine immigration to France from its former Empire and the consequences of this on the creation of a multi-cultural nation in France. We will analyze such texts and films as: The Lover, Marguerite Duras (1984); The Stranger, Albert Camus (1942); Women of Algiers in Their Apartment, Assia Djebar (1980); God's Bits of Wood, Ousmane Sembène (1960); Black Shack Alley, Joseph Zobel (1950); Indochine, Regis Wargnier (1992); Diên Biên Phu, Pierre Schoendoerffer (1992); Les roseaux sauvages, André Téchiné (1994); Chocolat, Claire Denis (1988).

Real Analysis is the study of the real number system and
functions of a real variable. In this course we look at how the
real numbers are built and put the results developed in the
Calculus sequence on a more rigorous footing. More importantly,
we'll probe the limits of what the tools of Calculus can do,
meeting lots of exotic examples that test and stretch our intuition
(and hence provide motivation for the aforementioned rigor).

Popular music is an amorphous, loose term. We will undertake an
examination of the term, charting a course through the diverse
fields of music (and musical) industry, and exploring critical,
cultural, esthetic and social notions that inform the term. We will
look at the evolution of the now complex product enfolded within a
"pop song", a diverse array of media, product, and cultural
attribution, chart the shifting boundaries and flawed logic
informing both pop music's making and its reception and explore the
forces – market and otherwise – that shaped this music
for over a century, spanning the spectrum from Stephen Foster
writing songs for Minstrelsy shows to DJ Dangermouse remixing the
Beatles and Jay Z illegaly. The work includes course papers,

Phenomenology constitutes one of the most significant developments in twentieth-century philosophy; it has deeply influenced philosophy in the West, and also informs concepts and methods across the humanities and social sciences. We will begin with an analysis of the methodologies and foundational concepts of Edmund Husserl's phenomenology, including the phenomenological reduction, the intentional structure of consciousness, the lifeworld, meaning, truth, knowledge, the proper relationship between philosophy and science, and the critique of representationalism. We will then move from Husserl's work to that of several of his successors who were inspired by it and developed their own approaches to phenomenology. In particular we will focus on phenomenological approaches to the body, art, race, hermeneutics, gender, technology, and relations with others. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor

As with all health issues, addiction can be approached on the level of individuals and population. How addiction gets framed has tremendous impact on how health professionals prevent initiation of drug use and prevent sickness and death from drug use. This class considers the theoretical framework of addiction through the various policies being implemented to address drug addiction in Vermont and the United States. Dr. Nels Kloster, an addiction psychiatrist and medical director of Brattleboro's methadone clinic, will provide the theory, practice and controversies surrounding medically-assisted treatments for drug addiction.

Vermont is getting national attention for its commitment to
ending opiate addiction in the state. Instead of relying purely on
law enforcement to curb drug abuse, the Shumlin administration is
promoting a model that includes treatment, prevention, and
recovery. This class draws on political theory to analyze the
discourse currently used by government actors and community
activists to address the issue of addiction. We'll consider what
sort of politics is being invoked by these various strategies and
how public and private funding fits into the mix. Students will
develop skills in argument, community research, and analyzing
public debate for its political assumptions. Co-requisite: This course is

In Spanish, the word Teatreras refers to women who are considered drama queens. In many cultures, Latin women have been stereotyped as being overly dramatic, making grand gestures or exaggerating their problems. However, Teatreras also refers to women who make theater, who write plays and who have dared to discuss life issues on the stage and film. In this course, we will reclaim the second meaning by celebrating Latina theatre and filmmakers. We will situate their work within a post-colonial and intersectional framework addressing issues of racism, sexism, classism and heterosexism. We explore both the immigrant and resident experience while interrogating the social/political construction of citizenship. Through the mediums of theatre and film, we will study the varied multicultural voices of Latin@ lives in the United States. At the same time, we will foreground women theatre and film artists' perspective on the historical and contemporary issues facing Latin@ communities. In the end, this course recognizes the important contribution these artists have made to the United States, abroad and in the fields of theatre and film.

Form & Place - The Art Of Site-Specific Sculpture
ART607 - 4 Credits - Intermediate
- Monday 1:30pm-4:50pm in Baber Art/Baber Art
Faculty: Timothy Segar
As sculpture moved off the pedestal in the first half of the 20th century it found new relationships to its place in the world. The development of earth art, installation art, and site-specific sculpture have created a realm of activity for sculptors which has been varied and rich. At first a male dominated and environmentally risky field it has been immensely broadened by the actions of many women like Anna Mendieta, Mierle Ukeles and others whose works were more in tune with their environment. Through a series of projects and investigations of places and objects, including light and sound, mapping, indoor and outdoor installations, and modelmaking, students will create a series of works. Prerequisite: Sculpture I and at least one other art course or permission of instructor.
Additional Fee:$80.00

In this class students will be introduced to the language of sculpture through the use of traditional and non-traditional materials and techniques. Much of our time will be spent on sculpture assignments and independent work in the studios. We also will visit exhibitions, artists' studios, view relevant films and create PowerPoint presentations to explore aspects of sculpture from the time of the cave-dwellers to today's most innovative artists. Through rigorous discussion and debate, we will learn to evaluate our own place as makers of things, and above all, discover and develop our own sensibilities in a lively and safe environment.

They identify the main factors that affect second language acquisition, and the practices that facilitate and support language learning and cross cultural communication. They will build a foundation in English pronunciation, lexicon and grammar so that they understand the particular challenges English language learners face. They will learn to design lessons that use a communicative, interactive approach. They will implement these lessons in peer teaching sessions in class. Course Texts: 1.

Writing Seminar: Exploring the New Journalism
HUM1392 - 4 Credits - Multi-Level
- Tuesday 10:00am-11:20am in Dalrymple/D38
- Thursday 10:00am-11:20am in Dalrymple/D38
Faculty: John Sheehy
In this course we will read and write journalism, both as it has been traditionally defined--e.g., the essay as it appears in magazines like The New Yorker, or the expository report as practiced in The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal--but also in the many variations on traditional journalism that have emerged since the 1960s: gonzo journalism, narrative nonfiction, radio essays, blogs, etc. Our goal will be to read (and listen to) as much interesting and provocative journalistic writing as possible, by writers like Jonathan Raban, Sarah Koenig, HunterThompson, Seymour Hersch, Annie Proulx, Jon Krakauer, Terry Tempest Williams, Jon Ronson, Susan Orlean and many, many more. Our goal, in the end, will not be so much to arrive at a narrow definition of journalism as to expand our own writing practice to include a range of styles, voices and angles of presentation. Expect to read a lot, to talk about all of it, and to write more. As this will be a writing seminar, we will write a lot, about the journalism we have read, and in journalistic pieces of our own. Discussion of the course texts will alternate with writing conferences, workshops, and work on grammar, style and structure. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor

Faculty: Gloria Biamonte
"The mind is its own place, the visible world is another, and visual and verbal images sustain the dialogue between them." Wright Morris When we think about narratives, we most often think of prose words that tell a story. But what happens when writers, novelists, memoirists, and nonfiction writers integrate images into their narratives: photographs archived in history museums, personal photographs, or evocative graphics that merge with the written text? In this writing seminar, we will investigate the elusive dialogue between words and visual images, and consider how we "read" or interpret both prose and pictures. Beginning with Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, a genre-bending autobiographical novel that explores the convergence of memory and imagination, we will explore Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (a child's wild vision and wild hurt in confronting the cataclysm of 9/11), David Small's graphic memoir Stitches, Wright Morris's memoir The Home Place (a photo-text that takes us back to a single day in Wright's boyhood home in Nebraska), and Lynd Ward's Vertigo (a wordless novel of the Great Depression in woodcut prints). We will consider the point at which images enter the texts and examine how they act to undercut, reinforce, and/or expand the written narrative. Through lots of practice in writing, critiquing, and rewriting, we will work toward two of our main goals, to help you find a writing process that works well for you and to allow you to experience the value of language as a tool for thinking deeply and clearly.

Trials Fusion
Trials Fusion
Developed by RedLynx
Published by Ubisoft
Rubber Chickens - HEX: 7 - BAJO: 8.5
Hey guys, remember how much fun we've had playing futuristic games like Starbound?
Great cause now I'm sending you back to the future with Trials Fusion!
You've been waiting to do that for a while haven't you?
Yes I have.
Trials Fusion is the third game in this acrobatic motorcycle series. It's not like most racing games where you're competing to be the first across the line. There are competitive parts, but the main game is all about beating a series of tricky obstacle courses.
Yes it's good to be back in Trials mode. Like the last games Fusion's all about knowing how much throttle to give it and where to shift your balance so you land just right.
Affirmative. My robotic circuits are perfect for complex physics calculations like this. The ramp is lying at a 74 degree angle which means I'll have enough air time for two flips.
Nice one Darren. Yes stunts are one of the sequel's new additions. By nudging the right stick you can do all sorts of stunts. They look great but you have to make sure you're back on the bike before you land or this will happen.
I can't say I enjoyed the stunts as much as I expected. I found my rider would often twitch around awkwardly when I was trying to get him into position.
Sure the stunt mechanics aren't as polished as the rest of the controls. But I still had fun pulling tricks. Some of the other courses can be so rigid that it's good to be able to mess around a bit on the stunt challenges.
I do think the game makes good use of the futuristic setting. The hi-tech cities are filled with cool machines like flying drones and rotating platforms. And your new computer coach sounds so... sophisticated.
Darren, I think you've got a bit of a crush on her? That's so cute.
Negative! Negative! I merely admire her operational expertise.
Sure Darren. Right, well getting back to the game they've also thrown in ATVS this time around. And there's a good mix of desert tracks where you can really take advantage of their extra muscle.
Yeah the ATV's cool but I can't shake the feeling that they just didn't do enough with this sequel. There's nothing here that makes the game feel like more than an expansion.
To be fair Trials Evolution was such a perfect game that it would have been tough for them to follow on from.
I get that but they shouldn't release a whole new game if they don't have anything significant to add. Plus I never really got into an enjoyable groove. I blitzed through all of the easy levels and then I hit a brick wall with the later ones where I was retrying checkpoints constantly. "Oh come on"!
But that's what I love about Trials. Yes it's brutally difficult but you know every jump's possible. And with each run you get better and better until you finally perfect it enough to nab that elusive gold medal. Worth it.
Affirmative. And don't forget the skill challenges. Like the one where you're trying to launch your rider off his bike as far as you can. Fly little man, fly. Ahahahahaha.
Yes alright I admit I had fun with those. And look I'm definitely not saying this is a bad game. But unless you really loved Trials Evolution then I just don't think there's enough here to really get excited about. So I'm giving it a 6.5.
Well speaking as someone who did love the last game I had another great time here. I can definitely see myself playing until I've gotten Gold on every track. And then there's all the user generated tracks to play. So much Trials goodness. It's 8.5 from me.

Depending on the company and field, associate account managers complete several different functions. Their chief - and most common - function is to act as a liaison between a company's departments and a "communication hub" or between the company and its clients or vendors. These professionals may handle sales and financial functions such as resolving account discrepancies, placing orders, reviewing monthly revenue, and verifying billing charges. They also handle questions, concerns, and complaints from clients and/or vendors, escalating issues to a supervisor as necessary. Associate account managers may generate reports for management, making suggestions to managers on potential improvements. These associate managers typically work full time in an office setting, although occasional travel may be required for meetings.Read More...
The associate account manager should be familiar with the company's field and scope of work; this includes relevant education and work experience. For example, an associate account manager in an advertising company may be required to have at least an associate's degree - if not a bachelor's degree - in marketing, communications or advertising. The education and work requirements for this position vary, although previous experience in a relevant position is generally preferred. Associate account managers should have excellent organization, communication and problem-solving skills.
