Every Other Year Dr. Biter 330. An examination of the spatial distribution of people and activities and the resulting interdependency. Emphasis will be given to patterns of urban growth in industrial and non-industrial societies. 3 credits Fall Every Other Year Dr. Greer 401. This course looks at selected examples of these institutions in cultures that have been until recently unrelated to our own, and at the development of marriage and the family in Western society prior to the modern era, in order to answer these and other, related questions.
Ideological diversity characterizes feminism today much more than conservatives admit.
In light of this change in the character of feminist discourse today, the basis and prospects for a feminist perspective on marriage and the family, including practical proposals for change such a perspective leads to, will ultimately be our primary concern. Sex ethics, pay equity, federal social policy, domestic violence, reproductive technologies and higher education will be among issues addressed. The actions of organized human groups have been an integral part of ecosystems for 30,000 to 50,000 years, but only since the Industrial Revolution have humans threatened the planetary environment in important ways. This course examines how human policies affect the spoliation of the environment in a global context. A series of directed readings, punctuated by closely related documentary films on tape, will introduce a historical social science perspective on local and global inequity.
