Students will engage in walking lectures led by the professor, providing an opportunity to experience and analyze Rome's historical sites firsthand. Be prepared for extensive walking, as traversing the city is a fundamental component of the course.* This course is intended to offer students an introduction to the city of Rome that is architectural, artistic, and topographic in nature. In our study of Ancient Rome, we will focus on the urban development of the city and embellishment of the city fabric from its foundations through the Republican, Imperial and Early Christian periods. As Rome's modern urban fabric is profoundly affected by the events of the ancient period, this course is also intended as a tool for facilitating understanding of the city in which we currently reside. Therefore, students are encouraged to exploit the advantage of studying in Rome and to consider the city and its museums as a laboratory for study. Explanation of the different methodologies of research will supply the student with the necessary instruments for their future individual studies not only on antiquity, art history and architecture. | 11,093 | Ancient Rome and Its Monuments | AH 290 | Ancient Rome and Its Monuments | ARCH 2370 | Topics in Architectural History | 4 | 12.

| ARTDE 109: Color Theory and Studio Practice | ARTS 2340: Painting Basics | EI | 4.00 | No | The course is a practical study of one of the fundamental elements of visual art and design: color. Artists use color as a compositional tool in developing pictorial form and space. Color transmits meaning and emotion, and is everywhere in our daily lives. Focused exercises help students both to understand the perceptual aspects of color and to manipulate color using specific techniques. The course begins with the perception and control of gradations of light and dark, treats the practical issues of physically mixing pigments, explores the alteration of color caused by the placement of adjacent colors, and arrives at expressive, poetical uses of color in compositions. Students learn the correct terminology needed to analyze color effects both in their own creations and in historical masterworks, and demonstrate their growing confidence and mastery of color in a portfolio of creative work. | 11,100 | Color Theory and Studio Practice | ARTDE 109 | Color Theory and Studio Practice | ARTS 2340 | Painting Basics | 4 | 285.

| SOIS 250: Contemporary Italian Society | CLTR 1503: Introduction to Italian Culture | IC | 4.00 | Yes | This course introduces students to the complexities of contemporary Italian society, taking a primarily ‘bottom-up’ social science approach by examining a wide variety of contexts and exploring the ways in which Italians express, negotiate and transform their cultural and social identities. By drawing on a growing body of anthropological and sociological research, it provides students with the tools to question rigid and dated assumptions about Italian social life and enables them to analyze its multifaceted, dynamic and often contradictory forms and practices, focusing primarily on the last two decades. Students are first introduced to key theoretical and methodological approaches in the sociological and anthropological study of contemporary Italy. We then examine local identities in urban contexts, how families and gender roles are transforming, and the pressures produced by the current economic crisis, as well as exploring why increasing numbers of Italians are returning to rural livelihoods. Next, we discuss life in the Italian work-place and the effects that de-industrialization, technological development and precarious work contracts are having on professional and class identities. We analyze the rising appeal of populist and ‘anti-political’ discourses and figures and then focus on how Italy’s strong civic movements are struggling to improve social life ‘from below’. Among the issues tackled are ones traditionally relegated to the private domain, such as disabilities and sexual identities. Lastly, we examine how migration is changing social and cultural life as the country becomes increasingly multiethnic, how religious (and secular) identities are expressed, and the effects that Italy’s dramatic brain-drain is having within the country. | 11,103 | Contemporary Italian Society | SOIS 250 | Contemporary Italian Society | CLTR 1503 | Introduction to Italian Culture | 4 | 259.

In this course students investigate the role of visual culture in daily life, exploring fine art, popular culture, film, television, advertising, business communications, propaganda, viral social media and information graphics. As a critical introduction to visual communication, this course mixes theory, analysis and practical activities for an applied understanding of key issues, including the relationship between images, power and politics; the historical practice of looking; visual media analysis; spectatorship; historic evolution of visual codes; impact of visual technologies; media literacy; information graphics literacy; and global visual culture. | 11,105 | Introduction to Visual Communication | COM 111 | Introduction to Visual Communication | ARTH 1001/1002 | Visual Intelligence w Seminar | 4 | 17.

| MEDIA 280: Intercultural Communications | COMM 2303: Global and Intercultural Communication | SI; DD | 4.00 | No | An exploration of some of the historical and political conditions that make intercultural communication possible, the barriers that exist to effective intercultural communication, and possible solutions to the problem of intercultural misunderstanding. The course examines examples of differences in communication styles not only between cultures but also within. As a result, issues of race, nation, class, gender, religion, immigration, and sexual orientation will be of significant concern. The course stresses the notion that knowledge of human beings is always knowledge produced from a particular location and for a particular purpose. As a result it encourages students to think carefully about the discipline of Intercultural Communication—its conditions of possibility, its assumptions, and its blind spots—as well the need to be mindful of the limitations and interests of our positioning as investigating subjects. | 11,106 | Intercultural Communications | MEDIA 280 | Intercultural Communications | COMM 2303 | Global and Intercultural Communication | 4 | 53.

How do we assess the success or failure of policing, incarceration and rehabilitation strategies? This course examines the politics underlying how crimes are defined and measured and what patterns of criminal behavior have thus emerged over time. It explores both classical and contemporary theories that seek to explain why certain people engage in crimes while others do not. It also explores how theories of crime affect policy, it evaluates existing strategies of crime control, and introduces a critical discussion of how contemporary criminal justice systems operate. | 11,107 | Introduction to Criminology | CRIM 221 | Introduction to Criminology | CRIM 1120 | Criminology | 4 | 30.
