We will also necessarily ground our study in Italy’s colonial history, its transition throughout the twentieth-century from a country of emigration to one of immigration, and its emerging identity as a multicultural nation. While we will read select essays on postcolonial theory and Italian migration in English, all primary course readings and discussions will be in Italian.

ITAL 320 - Fascism in Italy (In English)
Credits: (3)

Did Fascism end in 1945 or does it persist today? When you hear someone say, “He’s a fascist,” what do they mean? Is Fascism typically or somehow endemically Italian? In this course, we will try to answer these and other questions by looking at the cultural, social, and political phenomenon of Italian Fascism from its origin in the late 1910s to its demise in the mid 1940s. We will study the genesis of Fascism as an Italian phenomenon by looking at the literary sources (propaganda essays, novels, pamphlets, journal articles), films (The old guard 1934, The Conformist 1961) and documentaries produced at the time. Lastly, we will account for the legacy of fascism in Italy and across other cultures and societies.

KINE 369 - Methods and Analysis in International Community Health and Development
Credits: (3)
College Curriculum: COLL 300
This course introduces the core methods and data analysis techniques for projects in engaged scholarship focused on participatory development strategies and community health. It was developed through ongoing work with projects known as Student Organization for Medical Outreach and Sustainability (SOMOS) and Medical Aid Nicaragua: Outreach Scholarship. Both of these projects began as a student initiatives in service learning. The project founders sought a different model for student engagement and articulated concerns about the marginalization of regions, nations, communities, and people and about the arrogance of international development interventions. They expressed skepticism about the value of ungrounded approaches to helping.
Through ongoing partnership efforts in Paraiso, Dominican Republic and Cuje, Nicaragua, we have sought ways to partner effectively and respectfully with residents and communities. We have used basic methods of ethnography, GIS, and social networks analysis (SNA) to collect and analyze data to describe the communities and to understand local arragnements that could support collaboration and collective capacity. Seeking best practices and strategies has resulted in ongoing efforts to develop a refined model of participatory development that relies on community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods and emphasizes community collective decision-making, solidarity, and action over external expertise, direction, and guidance.
