A broad 'sustainability course' review was conducted by a fifth-year sustainability intern in 2008 and updated in 2010 - this is what is offered as a copy of the sustainability course inventory. In 2012-2013, our Sustainability Steering Committee debated and approved definitions for Sustainability-focused and Sustainability-related courses. These definitions have been applied to a review of all courses offered in the last two years to develop the lists offered in this inventory. In addition to regularly offered courses, the University offers First-Year Seminar courses each year - these courses last a complete semester and all first-year students are registered for one course. In 2012, 43 such courses were offered. Seven of those courses were Sustainability-focused courses. In 2013, 40 courses were offered: of those, three were Sustainability-focused. A listing all of the First-Year Seminar classes offered by DePauw in the last two years are as follows: R - 2012 Aherne, Tavy ART African Art and Culture in the Humanities: Where There are NO Jungles R - 2012 Brickell, Meredith ART Creativity and Collaboration: Building Community through Art R - 2012 Dudle, Dana BIO Biology Writing for the 21st Century R - 2012 LaFontant, Pascal BIO Taming Hydra, Dancing with Medusa: An Introduction to Regenerative Research 2012 Forbes, Michael BLST/ENG Healing Literature: Edwidge Danticat and her Beloved Haiti 2012 Seaman, Michael CLST Democracy and Imperialism in Ancient Greece 2012 Wells, James CLST What Is Art For?: Ancient Greek and Roman Aesthetics 2012 Good, Caroline COMM The Seriousness of Comedy in Performance R - 2012 Steele, Bob COMM This I Believe: Storytelling About Our Core Values F - 2012 Goma, Ophelia ECON Economic and Social Issues: Women in the Third World 2012 Autman, Samuel ENG Uncovering Historical DePauw: A Nonfiction Approach R - 2012 Bayer, Ellen ENG Into the Wild 2012 Glausser, Waune ENG Las Vegas R - 2012 Heithaus, Joe ENG Release: Prison Poetry from Around the World 2012 Kelleher, Hillary ENG Blood Relations: Analyzing the Vampire in Film, Literature, and Other Media R - 2012 McInnes, Marnie ENG Science Writing 2012 Sinowitz, Michael ENG Noir, Film and Novel F - 2012 Pope, Jeanette GEOS Modern Environmental Problems 2012 Bohmer, David HIST Baseball as History 2012 Gellman, David HIST Chicago Lives R - 2012 Kuecker, Glen HIST 21st Century Cities F - 2012 Schlotterbeck, John HIST (de)Constructing Race in the United States 2012 Upton, Rebecca HONR (ANTH) Tattoo, Torture & Adornment 2012 Sununu, Andrea HONR (ENG) Ruin and Re-begetting 2012 Evans, Arthur HONR (ML) Speculative Visions: The Worlds of Science Fiction 2012 Aures, Inge ML 20th Century Germany Through Film 2012 Klaus, Carrie ML Lost Illusions: Women’s Fiction and Revolutionary France 2012 Brockmann, Nicole MUS Understanding Music 2012 Edberg, Eric MUS Understanding Music 2012 Edwards, Carla MUS Understanding Music F - 2012 Cameron, Rich PHIL Climate Change and Philosophy 2012 Lynch, Richard PHIL Dialogues with Utopia 2012 Wielenberg, Eric PHIL Of Apes and Forms F - 2012 Kertzman, Mary PHYS Exploring Mars 2012 Sahu, Sunil POLS Doing Comparative Politics R - 2012 Bordt, Rebecca S&A Angola to OZ: Writing on Prison Writing 2012 Finney, Melanie UNIV Contemporary Irish American Culture 2012 Gropp, Jeffrey UNIV Liberty and the Role of Government: How much is too much?
