(12) Dystopias and Utopias in Art, Literature, and Visual Culture (ASAP)

Profs. C. Pierre, J. Holley, and M. Williams

This learning community links ENG 12 (5P, 15976) with ART 34 (3P, 16595) and SD10 (9P, 18085), and will examine several texts (print as well as visual and cinematographic) which consider the nature of dystopian societies, the utopian ideals that typically give birth to them, and the factors that inevitably lead to their erosion. In English 12, the primary text will be Animal Farm (1945) by George Orwell. In English 12, students will additionally view the Kurt Wimmer film Equilibrium as well as examples selected from episodic television including the Star Trek series: The Next Generation, The Original Series, VoyagerEnterprise, and Charmed. In Art 34, students will study and analyze images of idealized utopias imagined by artists, such as Lorenzetti’s Effects of Good Government in the City and the Country (1338-1339); Shen Zhou’s Poet on a Mountain Top (Ming Dynasty, c. 1500); Raphael’s The School of Athens (1510—11); Poussin’s Et In Arcadia Ego (1637-38); and Watteau’s Pilgrimage to the Island of Cythera (1717).

(22) Immigrants and the United States (ASAP)

Professors K. Kolkmeyer, L. Garland, & D. McDonald

This learning community links ENG 12 (73P, 38295) with HIS 20 (1P, 18349) and SD10 (27P, 47470). It explores the theme of migration to the United States, working with texts that raise questions about the connections between the past and present. For example, how have lines been drawn between being American and being foreign, being a citizen or being an alien? What has shaped encounters between natives and newcomers? What has defined who is, or how one can become, “American”?

Through scaffolding and methodology the term culminates with an integrative assignment that includes all aspects of a specific business, with emphasis on the language and business communication style.

(18) Journeys of Hope, Journeys of Discovery (My Brother’s Keeper)

Professors S. Parker, T. Ulmer, & S. Richards

The theme of this ENG 12 (42P, 15970), SOC 31 (38P, 18279), SD 10 (5P, 18081) link is “Journeys of Hope, Journeys of Discovery.” As incoming college students the participants in this Opening Doors Learning Community have already embarked on a personal journey whose destination is very much unknown. We will build on this common experience through a set of readings, writing and learning exercises which will explore a range of challenges that others such as Malcolm X and those Southern Blacks in the Great Migration experienced and overcame. Through this exploration our students will develop a set of conceptual skills that will enable them to more deeply probe the dynamics of the social world and a set of writing and communication skills that will prepare them for further college-level work. They will also leave with a sense that there are deeper lessons about choices that can be drawn from the experiences of those who came before.
