HON 201 - Ancient Greek Justice Semester Hours: 4
What is justice, and who or what has authority over it? Why do humans understand and pursue justice in the ways we do today? What makes a society good? What characteristics do we find in a good leader? To answer these questions accurately, we must begin with the ancient world. In this first-year honors course, we study evolving approaches to justice in a variety of ancient texts, including Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey; the lyrical poetry of ancient women writers; the plays of Aeschylus and Euripides; and the teachings of Socrates and Plato. We explore what justice looked like for men and women, slaves and landowners, refugees and natives living primarily in Greece, with forays into Troy (modern-day Turkey), Rome, and Egypt. Through our readings of ancient texts-combined with creative and critical writing assignments, presentations, and engaging class discussions-we will journey together toward an understanding of justice that is informed by literary, philosophical, and archaeological histories. Fulfills INQ 111 , SPE 111 , and WRI 111 requirements.

HON 202 - Renaissance and the Age of Discovery Semester Hours: 4

New thinking about the self and authority led to the reformation of the Western church by Protestant leaders, such as Luther and Calvin. Advances in navigation led to the investigation of new worlds. This course studies contributions to the ongoing quest for knowledge, and includes the works of Shakespeare, Dante, Francis Bacon, Descartes, Galileo and Copernicus.

HON 203 - The Battle for Public Memory Semester Hours: 4
“He who controls the present controls the past.” This famous quotation from George Orwell draws our attention to the complicated relationship between ourselves and our history. History is not just what happened prior to the present. It is also the way we choose to tell the story of past events. How we choose to present the stories of our past is often a complicated and highly contentious process. The information that individuals choose to highlight and ignore say at least as much about contemporary social and political relationships as they do about the events being retold. This class will focus on a number of conflicts over public memory, both personal and political. Topics will include obituaries, memorials, the construction of museum exhibits, the impact of nationalism and political ideology, and the selective preservation and destruction of ancient artifacts.

This class will study critical theories about religion and violence and compare them to historical data. It is organized around four modes of violence: 1) martyrdom and redemptive suffering, 2) the violence of social stratification and “othering,” 3) traditional, political war and 4) apocalyptic and spiritual warfare. Case studies include early Christian martyrs, the American Civil War, attacks on abortion clinics and on theTokyo subway to clarify patterns and types of religious violence. Classes will consist of discussion, debates, films, and student presentations and explore the representation of religion and violence in the media, literature and film.

IFS 131 - Faith and Science Semester Hours: 4
This course is a general introduction to and an exploration of various matters regarding faith and science. The main springboard for the course will be the writings of C. S. Lewis that discuss and provide critical reflection on topics like atheism, the Big Bang theory, Christianity, culture, evolutionary theory, imagination, logic, myths, rationality, reason, religion, secularism, science, spirituality, theology, and theory. As an atheist who converted to Christianity to become its most significant defender in the twentieth century, C. S. Lewis continues to be relevant, perhaps even more so than in his time, for understanding the relationship between faith and science in a religiously pluralistic and increasingly secular world. Even though his reflections are from a Christian (and European) perspective, they provide a nexus of questions that can help all people from all perspectives think more clearly.
