Professor

Stephanie Kufner

Schedule

To be arranged.

For students with an interest in the scripting, practice, and
production of a bilingual theater play within the German Studies
Program, based on works by authors of interest to participants (i.e. Franz Kafka, Bertolt Brecht, Arthur Schnitzler, Christa Wolf, and others). This tutorial is open to anybody from the Bard Community and involves among other things close reading and discussion of respective texts, scripting, producing, staging, singing, dancing, and acting, in addition to taking on roles as stage manager, music and video art director, or costume designer.  Students will choose which of these elements they prefer to focus on throughout the semester, and as their final project. Classes will meet weekly until mid-term. After mid-term, the schedule will change to a rather rigorous night and weekend rehearsal schedule. Play production will be around May 1, 2008. German language skills preferred but not mandatory.

Schedule

Monday:  1:30 – 3:30pm   RKC 115

2 credits  This course will examine behavioral neuroscience from a species- and research-based perspective. Model organisms have both limitations and strengths as research systems, and the anatomy, complexity, and behavior of these species have shaped the current state of knowledge on the structure and function of the nervous system. Each week, discussions will focus on a particular organism, exploring the studied behaviors and the contributions to neuroscience made in the species. In the process, the fundamentals of neuroscience will be discussed with an emphasis on the context in which they were discovered and the ways these discoveries shape future research. Readings from the primary literature will highlight the historical and current importance of the organism to our understanding of the brain and behavior. By scrutinizing the papers, students will become familiar with the complexities of experimental design and gain experience in critically analyzing scientific research.  Prerequisite: permission of the instructor.

The course will outline some of the principle transformations in the modern understanding of society and nature within a political, cultural, and institutional framework.  Particular attention will be placed on the interrelation of science, theology and philosophy that characterized the period from Descartes and Leibniz to Mach and Nietzsche.  Our attention will largely focus on the nineteenth century, using as our guide a close reading of texts from writers such as Vico, Kant, Hegel, Wollstonecraft, Burke, Fourier, Bakunin, Marx and Darwin.  Texts will be read in conjunction with a selected study of contemporary political forces, institutional settings, and scientific, social, or artistic practices. Major topics of interest include skepticism, the interrelation of enlightenment and romanticism, feminism, conservatism, utopian socialism, nationalism and anarchism.  Please note that this course is not intended for first year students; a prerequisite for it is the second half of First Year Seminar.

The course will examine the government and politics in Africa since 1960. The course will thus raise a number of inter-related questions:  In what ways have pre-colonial and colonial historical processes shaped politics in post-colonial Africa? What are the socio-economic factors that have shaped contemporary African politics? What are the human rights and democracy challenges that post-colonial Africa face? In response to these questions, we will explore Africa's political culture, the role of civil society in African politics, the character of African politics and the role of the media in shaping public political opinion in Africa. We will use books, media products, speeches and writings of African political figures. The class will emphasize the following cases: South Africa, Sudan, Senegal and Nigeria. On-line registration

Social Science / Rethinking Difference

Cross-listed: French Studies; German Studies; Global & Int’l Studies; Human Rights

The course examines the often dramatic transformation of Western European, and in particular British, German and French, political life from the rise of fascism and World War II in the 1930s and 1940s to our contemporary period, including the present day conflicts and challenges facing the region.  In order to understand Western Europe’s historical transformation, one must also understand the workings of European electoral systems (including proportional representation) and parliamentary systems.  We will be especially concerned with the future of European welfare states which, in contrast to the US, often provide all citizens free health care, childcare and, even free university education; the influence of environmentalism, the Greens and other social movements; political leaders often troubled efforts to develop a ‘European Union’ conducive to peace, prosperity and human rights; and changing responses to immigration, particularly from the Muslim world.  The course will draw on both a range of readings and selected European films.
