We will then explore a general critical sensibility of poetry structure, writing, technique, and purpose using established writers¿ poems and perspectives on craft. We will examine genre, structure and style as an avenue of interpretation, classification and creation. The final stage of the course focuses on analysis of value assessment for poetry in a contemporary setting, particularly within a contemporary capitalist framework.

- The goal of this mini-course is to examine how the relationship between infectious communicable diseases and non-communicable diseases has evolved over time, using the syndemic framework. The concept behind a syndemic is that there are dynamic relationships and synergies among clusters of two or more coexisting epidemics, such as Covid19 and diabetes, along with various factors that precipitate their interaction within a population. The syndemic is thus the outcome of the coexistence two epidemics and the social and structural factors in which they exist. Understanding and tackling syndemics require the recognition that diseases rarely exist in isolation and the identification of the social, political, economic, and ecological factors that are driving poor health. This course will examine syndemics as the intersection of infectious diseases, NCDs and the social determinants around them, illustrating concepts with case studies. Objectives 1. Describe how CD and NCD correlate in some settings. 2. Identify social determinants of health and the impact they have in NCD and CD. 3. Recognize existing syndemics and its root causes. Instructors Dr. Dugas and Mora research and practice focus is on social determinants of health affecting chronic preventable diseases (obesity and diabetes) and infectious diseases (HIV and hepatitis C) in the U.S. and sub-Saharan Africa.

- THEO 100: Christian Theology (Hearing Women's Voices) Session: A Instructor: Calpino ONLINE
- Theology is thinking about how human beings relate to one another as much as it is thinking about God. The vast majority of the Christian intellectual tradition used the Western, male perspective to converse about what it means to be human. However, since women comprise half of the global population, this course will seek to draw students into a dialogue with important female voices throughout history to promote engagement with the ¿big ideas¿ of Christian theology. We will self-consciously forefront questions of race, gender, eco-feminism, religious pluralism, and cultural norms about bodies to work toward a more inclusive and just version of the theological project. A good metaphor for the type of engagement this course promotes is pilgrimage, namely creating an intentional space to promote a shared reflection on the meaning of our most deeply held religious, personal, and cultural values. This course is an introduction to reflection on and analysis of the Christian theological tradition. Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the tasks of Christian theology in its efforts to understand the human situation from the perspective of faith, various challenges to theology in the contemporary world, and will focus on one or more current theological issues.
