BIO-177-01 Global Health |
Wetzel E |
TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
The multidisciplinary issues of global health confront everyone
on the planet. This course will introduce critical issues and key
themes in global health from basic principles to disease burden
to collaborative efforts to improve global health. Particular
attention will be given to the global burden of communicable and
non-communicable disease and the social determinants of health,
including intersections with poverty and racism. Cultural,
economic and ethical issues in global health will be discussed.
An immersion component following this class is planned for travel
to Peru, July 29 -- August 10, 2022 (dates subject to change),
and will involve travel to urban, mountain, and rainforest areas.
Students should expect to make a modest financial contribution
toward the trip. Grades for this course will be recorded as
"incompletes" until after the immersion trip.
Enrollment in the course is limited, competitive, and by
application through the instructor; contact Prof. Eric Wetzel
(wetzele@wabash.edu) if interested. This course counts toward
the Global Health minor; however, it does NOT count toward the
major in Biology. STUDENTS MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE IMMERSION COMPONENT OF THIS COURSE.

Warner R |
TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
This class will look at the history of Africa through the lens of
religion, especially Christianity. Students will be exposed to
key elements of the long history of the African continent and its
peoples in a broad sense, before focusing on the religion of its
inhabitants, and more closely on the process of religious change
and fusion with the introduction of Christianity. The most finite
focus will come with our visit to the country of Kenya, where
students will be immersed in Christian, especially Catholic
culture in that country. As with the course in general, other
African religious traditions will be studied, including Islam and
traditional, "animistic" belief systems. In the second half of
the semester students will produce a significant piece of
research on a topic of their choosing related to the course
theme. THIS IS AN IMMERSION COURSE. Admission by application
only. STUDENTS MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE

By reading canonical texts of Greek and Roman political thought,
we will examine and critique competing conceptions of justice,
virtue and social duty. We will analyze the work of philosophers,
statesmen, and even an emperor to explore the earliest roots of
contemporary politics. This class will ask questions like: What
is the ideal regime? What is the most practical regime? What are
the duties of citizenship? Can service to the state make us
happy?

This course will survey major healers, theories, techniques, and

We'll look at how 'scientific' medicine developed in contrast to
traditional beliefs that pointed to the gods as the cause of
illness; we'll delve into Hippocratic medical treatises; we'll
consider the devastating effects of plague and other epidemics;
we'll visit alternatives such as temple healing and magic; and
we'll ponder ancient ethical dilemmas that frame medical practice
to this day, concerning, e.g., abortion and assisted suicide. In
order to explore the history of medicine more broadly, we will
visit the Indiana Medical History Museum in Indianapolis. The
course is discussion based. Students will give presentations and
complete a substantial project that they will present at the end
of the semester. Pre-requisite: CLA course or Instructor consent.

This is a 1st half semester course.
Origins and Endings:
Where do we all come from? What happens when we die? And what do
the days in between mean? Virtually all religions offer answers.
This class examines sacred texts not as doctrinal blueprints but
as literature that inspires more literature. Students will read
and write about poems, stories, plays, and songs that react to,
and often recoil from, sacred texts and their visions of our
beginnings and ends. Assigned texts will be drawn from a range of
religious traditions, and students from all religious
backgrounds, including no religious background, are welcome.

Siblings and Parents:
Brothers who murder or enslave each other, parents who sacrifice

sacred stories tell us about how and when to honor family and
when to abandon or disown them? This half-semester course
examines family relationships across a variety of sacred texts
and in the literature that those texts have inspired. Students
will read and write about poems, stories, plays, and songs that
respond to, and often challenge, sacred teachings about family
relationships. Assigned texts will be drawn from a range of
religious traditions, and students from all religious
backgrounds, including no religious background, are welcome.

Design your own website. Create an interactive environment.
Analyze literature with algorithms. This course unfolds at the
intersections of creative writing and technology. We will explore
a range of digital humanities, including open-access research
design, digital mapping, and multimodal writing.
This class consists of a series of workshops, during which
students will craft texts in multiple genres, such as personal
narratives, free-verse poetry, and drama. Then, we will practice
using a series of digital platforms that will enhance students'
storytelling through multimodal writing. By the end of the
semester, students will have experience with computer coding,
digital mapping, and crafting original work in Google Sites,
Wikipedia, and Omeka.
There are no prerequisites or tech requirements for this course.
No previous knowledge of coding is necessary. Computers, cameras,
and apps will be made available, so it is not necessary to own a
personal laptop to complete this course successfully.

Whitney J |
M W F
01:10PM - 02:00PM |
Blood! Wine! Women! Everything one needs for a pleasurable Gothic
story, no? The Gothic literary genre debuted in the
late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries as a form of
literature obsessed with dark villains, flawed heroes, forbidden
sexual romances, and supernatural entities. Not for the faint of
heart, Gothic literature took taboo to a new level with
complicated characters that reflected humanity's desire to
understand the mysterious. This course will chronicle the Gothic
literary tradition from its inception to the contemporary moment.
We will embark on a globetrotting adventure to grapple with the
Gothic in America, Britain, Mexico, Japan, Germany, Russia, and
other locations. Poems, novels, short stories, movies, anime,
music. No genre will be off-limits. Assignments will range from
short papers to quizzes and exams with a special opportunity to
write your own Gothic story! If you really fancy yourself brave
enough, then sign up and see just what happens when humans are
forced to face their darkest impulses.

ENG-390-01 How to Write a Long Poem |

With warfare. In Eden. Slaying monsters. In love. These are just
a few of the answers that poets have offered to this course
title. The best answer, though, is the one that you provide
yourself. In this Special Topics course in Creative Writing,
you'll channel your inner bard, Muse, or blogger to write a
single poem over the course of the semester. That poem might
consist of shorter poems strung into a sequence or series. It
might be a fantasy epic, a stage confessional, or the next
YouTube hit. Whatever it does become, we'll make it better,
workshopping your poem-in-progress all semester. You'll also read
some long-ish poems: Maria Dahvana Headley's new translation of
Beowulf (first word: "Bro!"), Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" (impounded
as obscene), and/or Tommy Pico's Feed (Instagram: @heyteebs). Oh,
and we'll do some amateur book-binding too. No previous creative
writing experience is needed - I promise!

FRE-377-01 Francophone Science Fiction |
Pouille A |
TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
In this course, we will study the francophone speculative
narrative with works produced by writers and filmmakers hailing
from various regions of the French-speaking world among which
Cameroon, Canada, Egypt, and Congo Brazzaville. We will explore
acclaimed works by Andre Alexis, Kerri Sakamoto, Jean-Pierre
Békolo, Karoline Georges, Sony Labou Tansi, and Emmanuel Dongala.
Most of these intellectuals have multicultural backgrounds due to
travel, migration, or multilingualism. As we work to
differentiate the speculative Francophone narrative from the
other fictional genres, in particular the realist genre, we will
also see if the authors' rich and diverse backgrounds lead to
unique spins and approaches to the speculative genre, investigate
how the Francophone speculative genre may read humans' interface
with technology, and examine what national and global futuristic
previsions the francophone authors may have for the reader.

GEN-270-02 Rhetoric of Sitcoms |
Abbott J |
TU TH
01:10PM - 02:25PM |
Whether it's The Office, Blackish, or Schitt's Creek, popular
situation comedies (sitcoms) provide viewers an escape from
reality and a chance to laugh. But how else might they function?
How might they influence viewers' perceptions of the people and
situations they depict? How do sitcoms enable or prevent social
change? As Joanne Morreale writes in Critiquing the Sitcom,
"[S]itcoms both incorporate and contain change; they both address
and prevent political action, and they may be read as both
conservative and progressive forms, sometimes simultaneously"
(xii). In this class, students will study how the sitcom genre
reinforces or critiques stereotypical representations of race,
gender and sexuality, and economic status, and how sitcoms have
weighed in on related political issues. We will study primarily
U.S. sitcoms over time as they aired on broadcast and cable
television and, more recently, on streaming services. Students
will produce several short papers and projects, consisting both
of academic rhetorical analysis and creative endeavors. They will
need access to Netflix and Hulu.

GER-277-01 German Cinema: Rise of Fascism |
Tucker B |
TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
This course is taught in English. What caused the democratic
experiment of the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) to give way to the
Third Reich? In general, why would voters support autocratic
leaders who embrace fascism? And is the German national character
particularly susceptible to authoritarianism, or is this
something we should all worry about? Students will pursue these
questions by exploring the history of German cinema in the era
before, during, and after the Weimar Republic. Or, to be more
precise, students will explore history as cinema, and cinema as
history. To what extent can we interpret films not only as
vehicles of mass entertainment but also as cultural-historical
documents? Can films reveal to us an era's mentality - its
anxieties, drives, and hidden desires? We will consider in
particular Siegfried Kracauer's 1947 book, From Caligari to
Hitler, in which he aims to reconstruct through film a
"psychological history" of Germany in the Weimar era. Our goal
will be to use film as a window onto the interwar years and the
cultural milieu that gave rise to Hitler and the Third Reich. We
will conclude by considering the NSDAP propaganda films of Leni
Riefenstahl. No prerequisites, no specialized knowledge assumed,
no knowledge of German required. This course counts toward the
Lit/Fine Arts distribution requirement, the Film and Digital
Media minor, and the German major and minor.

The multidisciplinary issues of global health confront everyone
on the planet. This course will introduce critical issues and key
themes in global health from basic principles to disease burden
to collaborative efforts to improve global health. Particular
attention will be given to the global burden of communicable and
non-communicable disease and the social determinants of health,
including intersections with poverty and racism. Cultural,
economic and ethical issues in global health will be discussed.
An immersion component following this class is planned for travel
to Peru, July 29 -- August 10, 2022 (dates subject to change),
and will involve travel to urban, mountain, and rainforest areas.
Students should expect to make a modest financial contribution
toward the trip. Grades for this course will be recorded as
"incompletes" until after the immersion trip.
Enrollment in the course is limited, competitive, and by
application through the instructor; contact Prof. Eric Wetzel
(wetzele@wabash.edu) if interested. This course counts toward
the Global Health minor; however, it does NOT count toward the
major in Biology. STUDENTS MUST BE FULLY VACCINATED TO

Wickkiser B |
TU TH
02:40PM - 03:55PM |
This course will survey major healers, theories, techniques, and
tools for the practice of medicine in Greek and Roman antiquity.
We'll look at how 'scientific' medicine developed in contrast to
traditional beliefs that pointed to the gods as the cause of
illness; we'll delve into Hippocratic medical treatises; we'll
consider the devastating effects of plague and other epidemics;
we'll visit alternatives such as temple healing and magic; and
we'll ponder ancient ethical dilemmas that frame medical practice
to this day, concerning, e.g., abortion and assisted suicide. In
order to explore the history of medicine more broadly, we will
visit the Indiana Medical History Museum in Indianapolis. The
course is discussion based. Students will give presentations and
complete a substantial project that they will present at the end
of the semester.

GHL-219-02 Power, Status and Inequality |
Imami L |
M W F
02:10PM - 03:00PM |
Differences in power and status can be found in almost every
society around the world, from the most unequal to the most
egalitarian ones. This course will provide an introduction to
power and status by focusing on the theories and methods that
contemporary psychologists use to understand these fundamental
aspects of social life. First, we will explore who is more likely
to gain power and status (e.g., personality characteristics of
powerholders); the methods that people use to do so (e.g.,
asserting one's dominance or expertise); and the influence of
power and status on basic psychological processes, such as
attention, emotion, and perception. The second part of the course
will review the potential consequences of power and status on
various aspects of our lives, from decision-making and goal
pursuit to interpersonal and intergroup relationships, as well as
health and well-being. Throughout the course we will discuss not
only how power and status dynamics give rise to inequality, but
also how their effects may, in turn, be shaped by the degree of
inequality in a given society. The course will involve lecture,
discussion, and readings of relevant primary sources.

shaping the experiences of its members. In this course we'll
examine how Wabash is governed; that is, we'll explore the
variety of formal and informal processes that are used to make
decisions on behalf of the College community. We'll delve into
specific instances of communal decision-making from the 1830s
through the present to understand why the College operates as it
does, how certain campus traditions came into being (and why some
have disappeared), and the extent to which Wabash's governance
procedures hinder and promote equity and inclusion.

09:45AM - 11:00AM |
President Trump and his supporters filed over 80 lawsuits seeking
to set aside the 2020 election. Why did they do that? Why do
people increasingly turn to the courts to resolve political
disputes, especially elections? Are unelected judges qualified
to supervise elections? Or should we trust those who must win
elections to supervise them? Can courts help resolve the issues
that have made some Americans distrust election results? Should
courts set aside efforts by both political parties to draw
election districts to gain more seats than they could win without
such manipulation? Are laws that require photo id, that make it
a crime to give food and water to those waiting in line to vote,
or that strictly limit who can gather up absentee ballots
intended to discriminate against minority and poor voters? Do
they have that effect? Or are these laws necessary to prevent
voter fraud? May we limit how much corporations and wealthy
individuals contribute to campaigns, or would that violate First
Amendment freedom of speech? In this course we will debate
whether courts or elected officials should answer these types of
questions. And we will explore how that debate has helped shape
the last sixty years of American history.

MUS-204-01 Music of Politics |
Ables M, Hollander E |
M W F
03:10PM - 04:00PM |
The defining element of a 'Wabash Man' is a song. If you met
every graduate of our college, you would find rich people and
poor people, black people and white people, athletes and klutzes,
people from dozens of countries around the world, and even a few
women. But you would be hard pressed to find a Wabash graduate
who can't at least stumble through the words of "Old Wabash."
Music is about inclusion. But by defining who belongs, it also
defines those who don't. Most Americans struggle to sing the Star
Spangled Banner. But even those who don't speak English can
recite the first four words! If border patrol agents used the
words to "Yankee Doodle" as a shibboleth for entry, it's hard to
see how a non-citizen would ever get in.
Music is inherently political. Even when it's not explicitly so,
it reflects the society that produces it, the audience that
listens to it, and the means by which the former finds the
latter. Early German nationalists knew that Beethoven could help
them define who was German. Later German nationalists knew that
too.
African Americans and Jews took music from the plantations and
shtetls they left behind, fashioning it into Blues and Jazz when
Classical conservatories wouldn't teach them and 'respectable'
concert halls wouldn't let them perform. They found a wider
audience when people like Elvis Presley 'borrowed' their songs,
recorded them, and made them famous. That music went on to define
a generation defined by its counter-cultural ethos - and was
brought back to Africa and the Caribbean (from whence it once
came) where national heroes like Bob Marley and Fela Kuti used it
to resist colonial oppression and dictatorship.
Modern leaders listened and learned from this, which is why Korea
promotes K-pop and Putin imprisons Pussy Riot. It's also why
Bruce Springsteen objected to Ronald Reagan's use of "Born in the
USA" - and why Ronald Reagan evidently didn't know (or didn't
care about) the words.
This course will focus on musical repertory related to specific
regimes, societies, movements, and historical periods. The course
will require students to examine music as propaganda and as
protest. It will also invite students to engage with contemporary
debates on such issues as censorship, cultural appropriation,
political violence, and intellectual property. Of particular
interest will be the role of music in the development of 19th
Century European Nationalisms (as with Beethoven and Wagner); the
inseparable relationship between music and politics in African
and Afro-Caribbean anti-Imperialism (as with Fela Kuti and Bob
Marley); and the role of music in the American Civil Rights
movement. Our goal is for students to understand the relationship
between music and politics both historically and in their own
lifetimes, equipping them to analyze music that is both political
and politicized

PHI-319-01 Arendt |
Trott A |
TU TH
02:40PM - 03:55PM |
In her report on Adolf Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem, Arendt
points to two character flaws that allow Eichmann to become the
architect of the plans that resulted in the murder of six million
Jews during the Second World War. First "was his almost total in
ability to look at anything from the other fellow's point of
view," and second his "inability to think." It was these flaws
that led Arendt to see in Eichmann the personification of the
"banality of evil." If evil acts can be done not out of
malicious intent but because of the failure to think, then each
of us is much more susceptible to evil than we might want to
think. In this course, we will ask how might thinking be a
bulwark against evil and how might we set up our political lives
to foster thinking and acting in ways that best serve the human
condition. We will read selections from Eichmann in Jerusalem,
The Life of the Mind, and Between Past and Future, and the whole
of The Human Condition and Lectures on Kant's Political
Philosophy, as well as other essays. Prerequisite: One of the
following PSC 131, PSC 230, PHI 110, 240, or 242. PPE majors must

TU TH
09:45AM - 11:00AM |
President Trump and his supporters filed over 80 lawsuits seeking
to set aside the 2020 election. Why did they do that? Why do
people increasingly turn to the courts to resolve political
disputes, especially elections? Are unelected judges qualified
to supervise elections? Or should we trust those who must win
elections to supervise them? Can courts help resolve the issues
that have made some Americans distrust election results? Should
courts set aside efforts by both political parties to draw
election districts to gain more seats than they could win without
such manipulation? Are laws that require photo id, that make it
a crime to give food and water to those waiting in line to vote,
or that strictly limit who can gather up absentee ballots
intended to discriminate against minority and poor voters? Do
they have that effect? Or are these laws necessary to prevent
voter fraud? May we limit how much corporations and wealthy
individuals contribute to campaigns, or would that violate First
Amendment freedom of speech? In this course we will debate
whether courts or elected officials should answer these types of
questions. And we will explore how that debate has helped shape
the last sixty years of American history.

PPE-329-01 Arendt |
Trott A |
TU TH
02:40PM - 03:55PM |
In her report on Adolf Eichmann's trial in Jerusalem, Arendt
points to two character flaws that allow Eichmann to become the
architect of the plans that resulted in the murder of six million
Jews during the Second World War. First "was his almost total in
ability to look at anything from the other fellow's point of
view," and second his "inability to think." It was these flaws
that led Arendt to see in Eichmann the personification of the
"banality of evil." If evil acts can be done not out of
malicious intent but because of the failure to think, then each
of us is much more susceptible to evil than we might want to
think. In this course, we will ask how might thinking be a
bulwark against evil and how might we set up our political lives
to foster thinking and acting in ways that best serve the human
condition. We will read selections from Eichmann in Jerusalem,
The Life of the Mind, and Between Past and Future, and the whole
of The Human Condition and Lectures on Kant's Political
Philosophy, as well as other essays. Prerequisite: One of the
following PSC 131, PSC 230, PHI 110, 240, or 242. PPE majors must
have completed PPE 200. Or by permission from the professor.

examine how Wabash is governed; that is, we'll explore the
variety of formal and informal processes that are used to make
decisions on behalf of the College community. We'll delve into
specific instances of communal decision-making from the 1830s
through the present to understand why the College operates as it
does, how certain campus traditions came into being (and why some
have disappeared), and the extent to which Wabash's governance
procedures hinder and promote equity and inclusion.

PSC-220-01 Music and Politics |
Hollander E, Ables M |
M W F
03:10PM - 04:00PM |
The defining element of a 'Wabash Man' is a song. If you met
every graduate of our college, you would find rich people and
poor people, black people and white people, athletes and klutzes,
people from dozens of countries around the world, and even a few
women. But you would be hard pressed to find a Wabash graduate
who can't at least stumble through the words of "Old Wabash."
Music is about inclusion. But by defining who belongs, it also
defines those who don't. Most Americans struggle to sing the Star
Spangled Banner. But even those who don't speak English can
recite the first four words! If border patrol agents used the
words to "Yankee Doodle" as a shibboleth for entry, it's hard to
see how a non-citizen would ever get in.
Music is inherently political. Even when it's not explicitly so,
it reflects the society that produces it, the audience that
listens to it, and the means by which the former finds the
latter. Early German nationalists knew that Beethoven could help
them define who was German. Later German nationalists knew that
too.
African Americans and Jews took music from the plantations and
shtetls they left behind, fashioning it into Blues and Jazz when
Classical conservatories wouldn't teach them and 'respectable'
concert halls wouldn't let them perform. They found a wider
audience when people like Elvis Presley 'borrowed' their songs,
recorded them, and made them famous. That music went on to define
a generation defined by its counter-cultural ethos - and was
brought back to Africa and the Caribbean (from whence it once
came) where national heroes like Bob Marley and Fela Kuti used it
to resist colonial oppression and dictatorship.
Modern leaders listened and learned from this, which is why Korea
promotes K-pop and Putin imprisons Pussy Riot. It's also why
Bruce Springsteen objected to Ronald Reagan's use of "Born in the
USA" - and why Ronald Reagan evidently didn't know (or didn't
care about) the words.
This course will focus on musical repertory related to specific
regimes, societies, movements, and historical periods. The course
will require students to examine music as propaganda and as
protest. It will also invite students to engage with contemporary
debates on such issues as censorship, cultural appropriation,
political violence, and intellectual property. Of particular
interest will be the role of music in the development of 19th
Century European Nationalisms (as with Beethoven and Wagner); the
inseparable relationship between music and politics in African
and Afro-Caribbean anti-Imperialism (as with Fela Kuti and Bob
Marley); and the role of music in the American Civil Rights
movement. Our goal is for students to understand the relationship
between music and politics both historically and in their own
lifetimes, equipping them to analyze music that is both political
and politicized.

Differences in power and status can be found in almost every
society around the world, from the most unequal to the most
egalitarian ones. This course will provide an introduction to
power and status by focusing on the theories and methods that
contemporary psychologists use to understand these fundamental
aspects of social life. First, we will explore who is more likely
to gain power and status (e.g., personality characteristics of
powerholders); the methods that people use to do so (e.g.,
asserting one's dominance or expertise); and the influence of
power and status on basic psychological processes, such as
attention, emotion, and perception. The second part of the course
will review the potential consequences of power and status on
various aspects of our lives, from decision-making and goal
pursuit to interpersonal and intergroup relationships, as well as
health and well-being. Throughout the course we will discuss not
only how power and status dynamics give rise to inequality, but
also how their effects may, in turn, be shaped by the degree of
inequality in a given society. The course will involve lecture,
discussion, and readings of relevant primary sources.

Understanding? Should we learn from them, in the manner of a

Whether it's The Office, Blackish, or Schitt's Creek, popular
situation comedies (sitcoms) provide viewers an escape from
reality and a chance to laugh. But how else might they function?
How might they influence viewers' perceptions of the people and
situations they depict? How do sitcoms enable or prevent social
change? As Joanne Morreale writes in Critiquing the Sitcom,
"[S]itcoms both incorporate and contain change; they both address
and prevent political action, and they may be read as both
conservative and progressive forms, sometimes simultaneously"
(xii). In this class, students will study how the sitcom genre
reinforces or critiques stereotypical representations of race,
gender and sexuality, and economic status, and how sitcoms have
weighed in on related political issues. We will study primarily
U.S. sitcoms over time as they aired on broadcast and cable
television and, more recently, on streaming services. Students
will produce several short papers and projects, consisting both
of academic rhetorical analysis and creative endeavors. They will

Deliberation is a process through which public conversations
occur and decisions can be made. During deliberation, citizens
come together, share opinions, critique arguments and reasons,
expand their understanding and perspective, and ultimately, seek
to make public choices about pressing problems in their
community. In this course, we will explore the theories and
practices of democratic deliberation, evaluate the potentials for
and limits of deliberation, and discuss and evaluate framing and
facilitation techniques in diverse settings such as community
meetings, strategic planning, and business. Students will

RHE-370-01 What Is "Rhetoric"? |
Drury J |

10:00AM - 10:50AM |
This course explores several contemporary questions concerning
the nature, function, and value of rhetoric: What is "rhetoric"?
What does rhetoric "do"? Who comprises rhetoric's "audience"?
What does it meant to talk about "context"? And how do culture
and difference influence the answers to the above questions? The
course content will engage key debates and essays since the
mid-twentieth century from prominent scholars who theorize
rhetoric, such as Kenneth Burke, Michael Calvin McGee, Michel
Foucault, and bell hooks.
This will be a seminar course, meaning that our class sessions
will be largely student-driven engagement with the ideas
presented in the assigned reading material. By taking this
course, students will further develop crucial skills (e.g.
productively leading and participating in discussion, critical
reading and thinking) as well as cultivate a more nuanced
understanding of rhetoric that better enables them to negotiate
the production of meaning in the complicated world around them.
The major class assignment will involve an individual research
project and presentation that explores a theoretical concept
relevant to the study of rhetoric.

slapstick comedy. We will also explore the Suzuki and Viewpoints
methods of acting and movement, both of which have become
foundational cornerstones to contemporary actor training. No
