topics in Literature and Film: memory and Forgetting

links literature to painting, photography, and film, as well as texts in psychology (such as Freudian trauma theory and recovered memory). We explore the role of personal and cultural memory in the creative process by studying key examples, from medieval “memory rooms” to the work of alain Resnais.

mass media and american democracy

examines the structure of the mass media in the united states and the impact of those entities on political and social beliefs, opinions, and behaviors of both the mass public and political elites. We pay particular attention to the tension that develops between the potential for an informed citizenry and the potential for a manipulated public.

contemporary issues in Biology

explores modern biology as it applies to contempo-rary issues. We examine microbiological agents that cause disease and address how such agents can be used as weapons for terrorism or war. We also consider human physiology, focusing on major health issues, and we explore growth and resource use, emphasiz-ing the uniqueness of human populations.

visit cLasses

The vitality of intellectual life at Barnard is best sampled in the classroom, where small groups of students engage with professors freely. sit in on a class or two.

Black Women in america

examines roles of black women in the united states as thinkers, activists, and creators during the 19th and 20th centuries. We focus on the intellectual work, social activism, and cultural expression of african american women, discussing how they viewed their lives, resisted oppression, and fought to change society.

Genetics, Biodiversity, and society

looks at science and consequences of plant breeding, biotechnology, and genetic engineering; costs and benefits of maintaining biodiversity; and public policy issues and options. We examine the human genome project; the scientific basis and interpretation of genetic screening; and individual choice, social implications, and related ethical issues.

social theory and cultural diversity

examines issues, conflicts, and ideas regarding cultural diversity—in particular the “culture wars,” the politics of identity/recognition, and the ideal of multiculturalism—using tools of classical and contemporary social theory. We draw case material from the Western hemisphere and consider topics including multiculturalism, the politics of identity/recognition, the head scarf debate, orientalism, sexuality and culture, and “excitable speech.”

To help you plan your time on campus, consult the list of classes available at our reception desk or at www.barnard.edu/admiss. although no advance appointment is necessary, do plan to stop at either the office of admissions in milbank Hall or the admissions visitor center in the sulzberger annex at least 15 minutes before the class start time to find the location of the class you plan to visit.
