CLCV 356 - Comparative Slavery: From Antiquity to the Modern World
Credits: (3)
Domain (Anchored): CSI
Various forms of involuntary servitude, often lumped together under the term “slavery,” are so prevalent in history as to constitute a pernicious human institution. Yet they are rarely studied in a comparative fashion to understand how these various forms, which occur in nearly every society, time period, and geographic region, differ from one another, borrow or build on one another, and survive multi-pronged attempts at eradication. For example, in the United States slavery has become synonymous with the Atlantic Slave Trade, which itself collapses various kinds of involuntary servitudes into chattel slavery. To rectify these problems, this course approaches the institution of “slavery” through a comparative lens. Beginning with Greco-Roman slavery, we will then move forward in time and across the globe to examine involuntary servitude in the Middle East (Mamluks, Jannisaries, Arabic Slavery), in Medieval Europe (feudalism), in the early modern Americas (the Atlantic Slave trade), and finally into the modern era (textile manufacturing in South Asia and human trafficking). The study of slavery from antiquity to the modern era enables us to examine the many and different facets of how this human institution manifests itself in a multitude of societies throughout time.

CAMS 400 - Senior Seminar in Computational and Applied Mathematics and Statistics
Credits: (3)
Prerequisite(s): BIOL 325 or MATH 345 or MATH 451
College Curriculum: COLL 400
This course gives a guide through the research process in the mathematical and statistical sciences. Each student will choose an appropriate, semester-long research topic. Students will then give several project presentations, give feedback on others’ presentations, and will turn in a final paper. CAMS 400 should be taken during the senior year and satisfies the COLL 400 requirement. Mathematical maturity is needed and is typically indicated by having completed at least one core course in either the Mathematical Biology or the Applied Statistics track in the CAMS major.
