    Current Special Topics

    CRWR 184F: DL  (CP) Keeping A Journal                                            

    Using Lynda Barry’s book Syllabus as an inspiration this class will be an exploration of the artistic benefits of keeping a journal.  Students will be required to keep a daily journal, using exercises as prompts for noticing the world, for becoming aware of how to be present with our own selves and our inner lives while also coming to understand the importance of observation and seeing what’s there right in front of us. Prompts will come in many forms and generally engage questions that writers are constantly asking either indirectly or directly: What makes good art? Where does imagination come from?  How do we steal from books we love? Can creativity be contagious? Why do details matter?  How does writer’s block get broken? What is bad writing?  Why does art exist?  In addition to Lynda Barry, we will also look at journal excerpts from Anais Nin, Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, Ann Frank, Susan Sontag, Vladimir Nabokov, and others. 

    Not for credit in addition to CRWR 185D Keeping a Journal

  • CRWR 185 A-Z - Special Topics

    Semester Hours: 3

    Fall, Spring
    Special topics related to the creative writing genres. Subjects to be selected yearly.

    Current Special Topics

    CRWR 185E: Fiction: Character and Conflict                                

    Characters need or desire something. They proactively try to get it.  Obstacles, both external and internal, get in the way, causing conflicts.  How characters deal with these conflicts essentially defines who they are and gives shape to the story.  You can’t have a strong story without strong characters, and you can’t have strong characters without strong conflict.  

    In this advanced fiction writing workshop, students will concentrate particularly on the idea that character drives action, and that action grows out of conflict, conflict being defined as a character’s needs or desires meeting external or internal opposition. 

    Students will be required to complete three short stories over the course of the semester.  Students will workshop their first drafts with the class, receive verbal and written notes from their peers and from the instructor, and then submit revised copies of their stories based on those notes. Only the revised drafts will be graded.

    Students will also be asked to read a number of published stories and excerpts, analyzing the work with an eye to how the authors set their characters up against obstacles, and how the characters’ journeys move forward primarily through the process of engaging the conflicts created by those obstacles.

    Prerequisite: CRWR 133 and CRWR 135 or instructor’s permission.

    Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
    WSC 001  and CRWR 133 . May be repeated for credit when topics vary. As individual subjects are selected, each is assigned a letter (A-Z) which is affixed to the course number.

    Fall, Spring
    Special topics related to the creative writing genres. Subjects are to be selected yearly.

    Current Special Topics

    CRWR 191M, Fiction: Reading Like a Writer
    Writers have always learned the craft by studying the works of masters.  In this class, a craft class, we will do just that, learn from masters by reading literature through the lens of the writer—how to steal, borrow, adapt, grow, and above all how to take apart a story to learn from how it was made.  We will be looking at great literary models (Anton Chekhov, Alice Munro, William Trevor, Jhumpa Lahiri, Toni Morrison, Grace Paley, Tommy Orange, and others) to study and dissect how they achieve mastery of character, sentence structure, of point of view, of telling detail, of the plot.  We will read one story per week, reading them line by line, paragraph by paragraph to understand how different techniques of craft are employed while also exploring the most enduring literary voices of our time.   


    Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:

    Fall, Spring

    Along with race and class, gender contributes to profound differences between men and women in the amounts and types of crimes that they commit and the kinds of justice they receive. This course debunks entrenched assumptions that put biology front and center when explaining female criminality. It will examine etiological (causal) factors that lead men and women to different pathways of criminality, as well as gendered assumptions that stand behind the social construction of and response to different types of criminality. The course will take up such questions as, why do the types and patterns of criminal behavior differ dramatically by gender, why are there gender-specific types of victimization, how does gender of the victim affect social and legal responses to victimization, and how does gender of the offender influence their treatment in the various institutions of criminal justice (policing, court, prisons). 

    Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
    Credit given for this course or CRM 187L, not both.  May not be taken on a Pass/D+/D/Fail basis.  (Formerly CRM 187-L, Gender Crime and Criminal Justice)
  

  • CRM 006 - (IS) Ethics in Policing

    Semester Hours: 3
    Ethical dilemmas confronting criminal justice academics, practictioners, and policy makers are far reaching and prevalent in the United States’ criminal justice system. This course develops the ethical decision-making skills that are essential in the field of criminal justice across all three elements of the criminal justice system: the police, the courts, and corrections. Here we borrow from the philosophical principles and theories that are the foundation of ethical decision-making in collaboration with the latest challenges and issues in criminal justice. These topics include the ”militarization” of the police, mass imprisonment, wrongful convictions, the ”misuse” of power by public servants, to name a few of the salient topics that this course will cover. If your career path intentions are in the field of policing, courts, or corrections, or hold an interest in the field of criminal justice this course delivers the information and tools you need to comprehend and deal effectively with these ethical challenges.This course allows students with the unique opportunity to analyze how they would resolve ethical challenges in the criminal justice system according to their own values and beliefs while staying within the confines of the law and professional codes of ethics.
  

  • CRM 007 - (IS) Delinquency and Juvenile Justice

    Semester Hours: 3

Most importantly the course will provide an orientation to the issues, policies and procedures which makeup our system of justice for children. The function and legal responsibilities of the Police, Probation, Juvenile Court and corrections system will be studied. Emphasis will be on societal forces that bring children into the Justice System including child abuse, and gang participation. Current programs and policies directed at the prevention, treatment, and control of delinquency will be examined. 
  

  • CRM 008 - (IS) White Collar Crime

    Semester Hours: 3
    Using real case studies and a critical lens, this course explores the definitions, theorized causes, impact, and documented effects of white-collar crime. What is it about this subject that justifies a distinct focus from the study of other crimes? What does the fact that white-collar crime is its own subject within the broader context of criminology says about our society? Who commits white-collar crimes? Are they fairly punished? These are just some of the topics we will cover throughout our time together. This course will utilize different course materials, including podcasts, TED talks, textbook readings, and oral arguments, to answer these important questions. The goal is to study white-collar crime in an interactive, thought-provoking way by examining its practical impact on our world and challenging our own views and biases about the subject matter.
  

  • CRM 009 - (BH) Surveillance

    Semester Hours: 3

    This course is intended to examine the in-depth nature, causes of origin, and means of control of surveillance. Surveillance has become a central means of social ordering and national and international governance. In this class, we broach the following questions: What is surveillance?  How is surveillance used by agents of government including those in law enforcement?  Where should we trace cultural and historical roots of surveillance which underlies the foundation of the modern nation-state? What form does surveillance take in varying contexts and situations? How does the emerging “imperative” and “necessity” of security shape the use of surveillance in light of post-9/11 events? How is the practice of surveillance related to scientific and technological developments? How is it changing our social life, and our notions of private and public space? How can social/criminological theory inform our understanding of these developments? Students considering a career in the justice system will understand the role of surveillance among agents of law enforcement and reactions within the judicial system.
  

  • CRM 010 - (IS) Are Prisons Obsolete?

    Semester Hours: 3

  • CRM 013 - (BH) Health and Incarceration

    Semester Hours: 3

    This course examines the nexus between public health and incarceration.

As such the course is aimed to expose students to the myriad challenges faced by correctional institutions in their daily operations to provide public safety and justice. The course will discuss the nexus between public health and justice, and its far-reaching social implications in a sociological and penological aspect. In addition, certain public health issues that characterize the correctional population will be examined in a broader context to enable a more wholesome examination of the far-reaching consequences of incarceration on public health in the community. Accordingly, the course will deal with basic theories and concepts related to the sociology of health, public health, incarceration, as well as legal cases that had an effect on correctional practices and policies.

  • CRM 187 A-Z - (IS) Special Topics in Criminology

    Semester Hours: 3

    Fall, Spring

    Interdisciplinary exploration of specific issues in the discipline of criminology — e.g., organized crime, forgery, juvenile courts, crimes against children, etc. Topics may change each semester.

    Current Special Topics

    CRM 187E - (IS) Gender & the Policed State

    This class will explore how the epidemic of Mass Incarceration uniquely impacts Womxyn and the need for centering these marginalized narratives in our examination of the problem. Additionally, this course will explore and interrogate abolition as a radical Feminist project. Historically, Criminal Justice research and rhetoric has focused on the experiences of men, assuming that whatever interventions and policies are deemed beneficial to men will extend to womxn counterparts – data and research confirm that this has been a huge mistake. Yet, while Womxn today are the fastest-growing correctional population in the United States there is surprisingly little research on the causes of this trend. Exploring the impact of mass incarceration on Womxn through feminist frameworks and theories will lead the course to critique gender as a policed state and imagine alternatives to a patriarchal carceral system.  

    CRM 187I - (IS) Immigration and the Law

    This course will provide students with the analytical tools to understand the dynamics driving the politics of the current wave of immigrants from the Caribbean, Latin America, Asia, and Africa, and the way it affects American society and culture. It will also focus on current and past legislation about immigration to the United States. Can the state control migration, including “unwanted” migrants? How do we understand the politics of immigration in the context of the criminalization of immigrants? In an era of uncertainty, how can we pursue policies that will ensure the security of our borders without closing off flows which are often considered necessary for our economic security? We begin with an examination of immigration law and policies in the United States that let some people in while keeping others out. 

    CRM 187S - (IS) Mass incarceration & LGBTQ+ Communities 

    Scholars have written extensively about the correlation between race, policing, and incarceration. Thought leaders in prison studies, such as Angela Davis, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, and Michelle Alexander, have used the abolitionist framework to argue that in the modern era, populations formerly controlled through slavery and colonization—namely, poor black and indigenous peoples—are now controlled through the prison system. Only in the past decade have academics begun to seriously take up the question of how gender identity, particularly for trans and gender-nonconforming people, and queer identity relate to the history and current landscape of Mass Incarceration and the Carceral State. This course aims to explore and analyze that question/issue.
