Focusing on select themes throughout history, this course will draw on studies in fields of political science, religious history, gender studies, sociology and music. Dangerous music can be found throughout historical periods, musical styles and global cultures. It has at points been seen as a seductive peril, a threat against society and culture, and even been used as an instrument of punishment and torture. Students will ask how “dangerous” music is perceived in terms of gender, sexuality, race and politics. Who has considered music to be dangerous and why? How in history has music been seen as a threat to established norms? What are our responsibilities as consumers? Students will create micro-podcasts exploring the themes of the course throughout the semester.

Materials for the Future
HONR 202A
John Craynon
Engineering Sciences Building | Room 501 - 09:00 AM - 09:50 AM MWF
The newest smart phones, tablets, laptops, HD TVs, electrical vehicles, and many other devices emblematic of the modern world continue to increase the demand for raw mined materials and energy. Further, the advances in standards of living in the developing world add many other stressors to the supply chains for raw materials and energy. To meet these needs responsibly and sustainably is a growing challenge, particularly as society’s views about mining, fossil fuels, and other related issues continue to evolve. However, we must address these needs amid the growing concerns about global climate change, sustainability, and contentious geopolitical and economic issues. This class will explore the scientific, engineering, economic, public policy, social, and other key aspects of the multidimensional problems in ethical and integrated decision making required for providing critical materials and energy for today and the future.

Dangerous Music
HONR 206A
Jennifer Walker
CPASS Building | Room 103 - 02:00 PM - 03:15 PM TTH
Music history is replete with moments when music has been considered dangerous, either as a seductive peril, as a threat to established cultural or social norms, or in even more sinister ways, such as its use as an instrument of punishment and torture in U.S. detention camps. This interdisciplinary class explores the various ways in which music and danger have become intertwined and, in some cases, inseparable. Drawing on studies in the fields of political science, religious history, gender studies, and sociology as well as music, and asking how danger has been and is perceived in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and politics, we will examine instances of “dangerous” music in diverse historical periods, musical styles, and global cultures. Please be aware, however, that this course is not designed to be comprehensive; exploring all major musical styles, trends, composers, performers, philosophies, and reception from antiquity to our modern era would be impossible in practice and counterproductive in conception. Instead, we will focus on select themes that will enable us to address overarching topics such as music and politics, music and religion, the impact of technology on music, and the historical positions and significant contributions of women, ethnic minorities, and other diverse musicians. Each thematic unit will conclude with the creation of a “micro-podcast.” At the end of the semester, the micro-podcasts will be compiled into a single, hour-long, collaborative work
Extractive Capitalism

Extractive Capitalism
Woodburn Hall | Room G11 - 11:30 AM - 12:45 PM – TTH
The class helps students understand the historical processes that created our current environmental crises. Specifically, it investigates the changing relationship between the economy and the natural world since the start of the Industrial Revolution, with a focus on extractive industries. The geographical framework of the course is both global and local. Students will learn about the interconnectedness of economies and ecologies across borders, continents and oceans, but they will also leave this class with a better appreciation of how Appalachia fits into the wider world. The history of extractive economies is as relevant to Appalachia as anywhere else, and it will serve as one of our key case studies, alongside and in dialogue with other parts of the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. The course is organized around the history of fossil fuels, and the industrial societies they have created, beginning with coal and then the transition to petroleum. Along the way, we will also examine other extractive industries, including timber and commercial fishing, and will consider how they have changed local and global ecologies. The last section of the class zeros in on climate change, especially during the recent era of globalization. This concluding part of the class links past, present and future. Students will learn how different governments, companies and activists have responded to climate change and other consequences of extractive industries, and they will develop their own ideas about what the future could and should be.

SPTP: Exploring Star Wars
HONR 293H
John Cole
Honors Hall | Room 120 | 02:30pm - 03:45pm TTH
What can a work of science fiction set “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” tell us about our own society here and now? Since its cinematic premiere in 1977, Star Wars (an umbrella term referring to the entire franchise) has captivated the imagination and inspired enthusiasm around the world. By any financial metric, Star Wars has been incredibly successful. Perhaps even more important than its financial success, however, is the impact that Star Wars has had on culture and society. From iconic music (Darth Vader's theme) to the creation of a new religion (Jediism), and from philosophical dilemmas (do droids have rights?) to its mythological roots (Joseph Campbell's heroic journey), Star Wars resonates strongly with diverse audiences for a variety of reasons. This course explores some of these impacts and uses the Star Wars franchise as an interdisciplinary mirror to examine our culture and society.

SPTP: Zombie Studies
HONR 293S
Dennis Allen
Woodburn Hall | Room 105 | 04:00pm - 04:50pm W
The zombie first appears in American popular culture in the 1930s and starts to become a cultural icon with the release of George Romero’s film Night of the Living Dead (1968) and the film’s sequels in the 1970’s and 80’s. It is in the 21st century, however, that the zombie becomes our preferred figure of alterity, the monster we love the most. Because a culture’s choice of an Other reflects its deepest concerns and anxieties, this course will attempt to answer two basic questions: why zombies? And why now? Readings for the course will consist of selected essays that discuss zombies in the context of deeper cultural concerns, ranging from pandemics (obviously) to ecological devastation to the alienation and existential crises seemingly inherent in modern life. Student projects will be based on the application of concepts from the readings to the zombie text (film, tv series, graphic novel, etc.) of their choice.
SPTP: Business & Human Rights
HONR 293V
Jena Martin
Allen Hall | Room 511 | 05:00pm - 05:50pm M
Like it or not, businesses have an increasing impact – not just on our economy, but on society as a whole. Combine this with the incredible amount of power they yield (for instance, if Walmart was a country it would the 24th largest in the world) and you have a potentially potent mix. This book seminar will serve as a deep dive into corporations’ larger societal impacts – particularly in the area of human rights. We will read stories of people who work on the inside, people who tried to make change from the outside, and hear from the people whose lives have been directly affected by businesses. Among the questions this seminar will explore include: what does it mean to be a corporate idealist? Can a business do well and also do good? How do you craft a framework that allows business to strive while still keeping communities in mind?
SPTP: Atlas Shrugged & Reality
HONR 293W
David Hauser & Alice Foley

While the political philosophy of libertarianism has been defined by numerous writers and scholars across many years, Ayn Rand remains the most popular and widely known author who promoted the philosophy. This course will give students a chance to engage with her ideas, both in theoretical and practical applications.
