Rather than attempting to consider all of the art produced over this long span of time, we will focus on particular aspects of American art, foremost among these the visual manifestations of the cross-cultural encounters between diverse peoples as central to the history of art of this continent. We will consider the relationships between American art and European art, and visual art and material culture as the expressions of particularly “American” identities by American artists and craftspeople of various ethnicities. Our study will emphasize the historical and cultural contexts in which this diversity of art has been produced. We consider such questions as: How have the social dynamics of race and ethnicity, along with gender and class, shaped the experiences of American artists and their audiences at various historical moments since pre-contact through the modern period? How do artists’ social positions inform their artistic responses to questions of modernity? What does art by artists of diverse ethnicities tell us about the historic and contemporary experiences of various cultural groups in the US? As well as exploring movements in art of North America and the work of individual artists of various ethnicities, this course introduces the students to methodological and theoretical issues underlying the study of art in North America, and ways that consideration and critical analysis of multiple disciplinary and social perspectives can enrich our understanding of this art.

	ETHS 319 AGQ - (Post) Colonial Cinema and Asia Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4 Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4 Geisha, Madame Butterfly, China dolls, Arabian bazaars, exotic sampans, mysterious mountain peaks—-these are just some of the recurring images of Asia, or “the Orient,” in the European and American popular imagination. The place of Europe’s oldest, richest colonies and the U.S. military adventures and territorial expansions, Asia has become not only an integral part of the imperial West’s material culture and civilization but also its exotic, mysterious, feminine, and ultimately inferior Other. A persistent critic of the Western supremacist ideologies has been Edward Said, who refers to the West’s imperialist and masculinist constructions of the East as Orientalism, a set of terms, ideas, and principles that contain and control the Otherness of the Orient. In what ways has the colonial West’s conceptualization of the East persisted or changed in contemporary cinema since Said’s epochal critique over four decades ago? How has Said’s notion of Orientalism been extended and modified in postcolonial and postcolonial feminist film studies? How is the Orientalist discourse reproduced, complicated, and challenged in Western and Eastern film? In what ways do race, gender, and nation intersect in Orientalist cinematic narratives? In what specific historical and geopolitical contexts do cinematic texts portray (anti-) Orientalist images and visions of Asia? In what ways are such inquiries relevant or urgent as we negotiate the complex relations between women and men as well as the East and the West in today’s cultural and geopolitical contexts? In this course, we will explore these key critical questions and understand film as an important cultural, as well as art, form for the production, dissemination, and critique of Western European and American knowledge about genders, sexualities, and nations.

	ETHS 320 CDQ - Immigrant Narratives Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4 Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4 This course investigates the issue of immigration, border, and identities in twentieth- and twenty-first-century immigrant narratives in the United States. Focusing on works of various genres, such as fiction, film, essays, and poetry, by primarily women writers and filmmakers of diverse ethnic and racial ancestries, we will explore these key questions: What are the major themes and issues in immigrant narratives? What does it mean to cross borders, and what are the causes, possibilities, and problems of border crossings? How are immigrants from historically marginalized racial and social groups raced, gendered, and classed? How do race and ethnicity intersect with other salient social identities such as class, gender, sexuality, religion, and nationality in immigrant experiences and identity constructions? In what ways do immigrant women and men challenge or negotiate boundaries that seek to oppress, exclude, or constrain? In what ways do immigrant narratives challenge or accommodate the U.S. national discourse of immigrant assimilation and upward mobility? In what ways can literary and cultural studies empower us as we seek to understand the urgent issues of immigration, identity, and belonging in today’s national and global contexts? Offered Spring Course Fee: No Prerequisite(s): W tag or ENG 110

At the same time, we will appreciate Asian American literary texts for the beauty and power of their language and storytelling and their universal appeal to our hearts and imagination. Cross-listed ENG 325A Offered Fall, Spring Course Fee: No
	ETHS 330 DPU - Philosophy and Race Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4 Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4 This course will examine philosophical analyses of race, considering a range of views from race as a biological feature of individuals to race as a social construction and hence a political issue. We will consider whether (and how) notions of race relate to practices of racism, asking both ethical questions (how should people of different races be viewed and treated?) and metaphysical questions (what IS race?). Would a just world be one which has gotten “beyond” race, or would that ideal perpetuate a dangerous desire for sameness? Cross-listed PHIL 230 Offered Fall, Spring Course Fee: No Prerequisite(s): NONE
	ETHS 344 DQR - Women and Multicultural Theologies Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4 Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4 How do women theologians from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds understand and discuss God, Jesus, Human Beings, the Bible, Spirituality, Ecology and the Roles of Women in religion and society today? How do North American women “do theology” in their African-American, Latina, Native American, Asian-American, Euro-American and/or socio-economic contexts? What kinds of theology are women theologians in Latin America, Asia and Africa doing? In what ways do race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, and nation shape the formation and development of Christian feminist theologies?

Beginning with the question “What is Native American art?” we will explore ways that Indians and non-Indians in the past have viewed Native American art, and how this art is seen today. As we look at art from various regions of what is now the United States, we will look at pre-contact Native American art, the changes that came about with the arrival of Europeans to this continent, and post-contact Native American art, with particular consideration of the impacts on this art of encounters between Indian and non-Indian peoples. Finally, we will examine 20th and 21st century Native American art and the issues raised by the intersections of Indian and non-Indian arts and cultures that have taken place since the turn of the 20th century. Throughout this course we will address issues of art historical approach and method raised by the study of encounters among diverse peoples in North America, and the dynamics of continuity and change in American Indian art. We will give particular attention to indigenous perspectives on Native art as we study the writings of Native American scholars, artists, and those whose lived experiences provide a basis for their insight and knowledge.

What are the changing terms of debates over the nature of race and racism in contemporary societies? How have scholars explored the origins of race and racism? In what ways did racial, class, and gender hierarchies sustain colonialist ideologies and institutions? How do Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Asian American feminist scholars negotiate the theoretical and sociopolitical tensions between race and gender and interrogate Western colonialist and White feminist conceptualizations and methodologies in social science research? Why is the analysis of Whiteness and White supremacy an integral part of antiracism? In what ways is our study relevant to the current moment of America’s reckoning with racial justice? This course offers an advanced study of the emergence and development of the theories of race and racism in their historical and sociopolitical contexts. By investigating some of the most influential scholarship and research from an array of disciplinary and conceptual perspectives, such as sociological theories of race and racism, postcolonial studies, Black feminism, and cultural studies, we will develop the critical frameworks for understanding race and racism as historical and contemporary issues in the United States and other parts of the globe.
