This class engages in central issues of Indigeneity and explores contemporary film, video games, and literature created by Indigenous people from nations including those currently called Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Taiwan, and Sweden. Primary questions we will address include: What does it mean to be Indigenous? How do contemporary Indigenous people represent themselves? What issues are important to specific Indigenous communities? What issues are important across Indigenous communities? We will further pay particular attention to representations of gender and sexuality and human relationships to the other-than-human across these works. | ||

This course focuses on the experiences of women and men from roughly the end of the Heian period (794-1185) to the end of the 16th century. How did the roles and positions of women and men change in this time period, what were their problems, and how did they interact with each other and with the institutions and traditions that changed so markedly in the tradition from imperial to warrior rule? We will study women's and men's economic, social, political, and cultural roles, looking particularly at changes in women’s status, the spread of Buddhism, political movements and upheavals, warfare, entertainment, art, literature, and poetry. | ||

Some scholars claim that there is a fundamental difference in the cultural ethos of Muslims and the Western world and that the two clash as seemingly incompatible civilizations. Others suggest that such stereotypical contrasts between Muslims and Westerners wrongly view both sides as monolithic and overlook important ways in which Islam and the West overlap. The course explores this scholarly debate. | ||
