God has designed students as creative beings, called to bring about flourishing in all vocational settings. Students need courage and creativity to take up a variety of roles in His kingdom. This course will address key transitions for sophomores that center on personal development, leadership, spiritual growth, and communication skills. Students will learn habits and practices that form and maintain a public and professional identity while also engaging in critical reflection on those habits and practices. Cultivating in students a vocational, whole-person perspective, the course will prepare them for service in a number of areas, including the world of work, church participation, and neighborhood/local community.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, their powers of discernment, and their ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” In Thinking and Writing: The Arthurian Tradition, students take up this question in the context of one of the most enduring of literary traditions in the English language, the grand narrative of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. For centuries, audiences have been entranced by the exploits of the legend’s evocative character — Arthur; Merlin; Lancelot and Guinevere; Galahad; Tristan and Isolde; Morgan Le Fey; Sir Gawain; the Lady of the Lake; the Fisher King—as generations of writers, artists, composers, and filmmakers have retold and embellished its many stories. In this course, we shall undertake a studied and unhurried exploration of the Arthurian tradition, tracing the development of a myth from its earliest medieval articulations through its most recent settings in popular fiction and film. Giving special attention to the national, religious, and sexual resonances that the stories have accrued as they have been re-imagined at different historical moments, we shall seek to understand why it is that this particular legend has endured for so long, and why it continues to mesmerize audiences today. Throughout our study, we will consider the good life in light of such Arthurian themes as the ideal society, courtly love, fellowship, and nostalgia for an irrecoverable past.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, their powers of discernment, and their ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” In Thinking and Writing: Communities and the Good Life, students will examine the role that community life and community institutions (family, neighborhood, church, local businesses, local government, etc.) play in forming one’s identity and character. The course takes as its starting point the communities in which students themselves have lived and to think about these in light of both individual and communal formation. The course then asks students to consider how people lived in community in other times and places, with the hope that their vision of the good life would be enlarged by considering how people lived in community in other times and places. Students will further consider and probe more communal understandings of human flourishing than are presented by modern popular culture and society. Listening to others’ stories is a way of loving one’s neighbor, both one’s neighbor who lives today and one’s neighbor who lives in the past. Ongoing engagement with the question “what is the good life” will further enable students to broaden their understanding of vocation and consider how it connects to their past experiences and hopes for the future.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, their powers of discernment, and their ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” This course teaches students to write proficiently in a variety of formats, following a process approach to writing that covers description, narration, exposition, and argumentation. In this process, students learn to read proficiently and think critically on a wide range of topics concerning multiculturalism and ethnic diasporas in the U.S. and Latin America. In engaging these multi-layered questions, students learn to interrogate the protracted impact of human agency (brokenness and hope) in God’s created world, and how this might condition or suggest definitions of the Christian “good life.” The course suggests various definitions of the “good life” by encouraging students to look into the complex diversity of the human condition in different times and places. It cultivates the patient practice of close reading and deep thinking, thus disrupting shallow habits of swift judgment and instant gratification. Students learn to employ basic linguistic concepts in different writing styles in Spanish, and to tailor their style for different purposes and audiences. This course is taught in Spanish and requires Spanish proficiency.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, their powers of discernment, and their ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” In Thinking and Writing: Disability and Community—Thriving Together, students will engage such questions as: What does it mean to thrive within a community in which the members have a variety of abilities? How can I fully engage a workplace in which my colleagues or clients have abilities that differ from my own? How can I advocate for inclusion and belonging in my place of worship? How can I learn from and serve alongside classmates who process the world differently than I do? This course will examine disability through a variety of lenses, while helping participants consider a perspective of community in which all members are valuable. Participants will contemplate the Biblical perspective of disability by reflecting on Jesus’s model of healing in the Gospels. In order to experience the richness of our community with people who share and differ from participants based on ability, the class will engage with a variety of individuals with disabilities and their family members. Alongside these experiences, students will explore disability historical perspectives, stigma, theory, identity, labeling, and culture. As a student, how will you respond? You have an opportunity to contribute to the flourishing of the communities that you belong to. Can you find the J.O.Y. in disability within your community and thrive together?

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, powers of discernment, and ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” In From Memory to Memoir, a course centered on several major works of American autobiography, students will read the stories of others and will craft their own narratives of memory in response. Students will practice particular habits of writing and research not only for explanation, but also for exploration, and they will be challenged to discern and communicate truth in a world in which such practices are often elusive. Students will regularly practice close reading as they encounter the autobiographical writing of others, and they will do so with particular attention to the narrative and rhetorical strategies at work in that writing. At the same time, they will be challenged to practice these same strategies and others as they craft their own memorial narratives.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, powers of discernment, and ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” Religious Toleration and the Good Life invites students to consider how being human requires learning how to interact with others in fruitful and life-giving ways. This course invites students to consider different approaches to toleration in the past, including how those who have had different concepts of religious truth, morality, or politics have been tolerated or not tolerated. The course studies historical cases to better understand attitudes toward toleration with an emphasis on determining how toleration might function as a part of the good life. As part of that study, students will read primary sources that make arguments about toleration, consider historical instances in which toleration was or was not valued, and be exposed to the broader historical contexts in which those debates and practices were occurring. In addition, students will think critically about the role toleration has played and should play in a Christian worldview.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, their powers of discernment, and their ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” One component of the good life has to do with what humans desire and need from domestic spaces they inhabit. In Thinking and Writing: Longing for a Good Home, students will encounter texts and questions which expect them to engage with the tension between nostalgia (longing to return home) and prophetic imagination (dreams for a future home). Students will practice composing rhetorical analyses, exploratory commentary, and academic research essays while engaging with popular texts which claim various ideals of a good home, including popular television episodes which recreate idealized domestic environments and home-and-hearth style magazines which orient social desire to styles and commodities of household design and decoration. Students will compose an autobiographical narrative related to longing for a bygone time, object, or place in their own lives. Students will also reflect upon the experience of sojourning as a human mode of existence by engaging with narratives about sojourning in Old Testament stories, Jesus’s ministry, and in contemporary podcast and memoir publications.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, their powers of discernment, and their ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” In Thinking and Writing: The People, Language and Culture of Indonesia, students will grow in their capacities as creative thinkers and writers through engagement with the language, culture, and life of the people of Indonesia. Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world, after China, India, and the United States. With over 17,000 islands, more than 300 ethnic groups, and about 264 million people, Indonesia has a lot to offer to the world. In this course, students will communicate effectively by learning basics of the Indonesian language, writing on what they learn, presenting on particular aspects of the Indonesian people’s lives and cultures, and working on creative projects that reflect their learning experience. By learning about people, culture, and language of Indonesia, students will together celebrate God’s creation, particularly in His works in, for, and through the country of Indonesia. Students will be equipped to respond to God joyfully, appreciate their neighbors truthfully, and enrich their own lives wholeheartedly.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, their powers of discernment, and their ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” Thinking and Writing: Self, Society, and Social Justice unites a focus on the good of the individual (each student’s understanding of themselves as called as gifted in particular ways) with a focus on social and communal good. Through encountering various Christian figures whose active, thoughtful, and deeply Christian contributions to social justice, past and present, students are challenged to consider what God’s call to “do justice and love mercy” could look like in their own lives and communities. Students will engage a deeper understanding of social justice, or its absence, and the world around them, with the goal of understanding and effectively participating in God’s redemptive action in the area of social good. As we investigate social justice concerns and various models for understanding social good, we will also explore our own social connections, using the discipline of writing to aid in understanding our own identity and calling, as well as to advocate for and contribute to the well-being of our communities.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, their powers of discernment, and their ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” In Thinking and Writing: When Tragedy Strikes, What Is the Good Life, students consider the question of how should societies respond when terrible things happen in order to ensure continued happiness, prosperity, and flourishing for its members. In particular, this course studies how works of dystopian fiction answer that question in an effort to sharpen our own sense of how to respond to living in a fallen world. Is the answer more government control? More individual freedom? Economic equality? Economic Darwinism? Abandoning religion? Religious revival? In an effort to think deeply about these questions, students will read, think about, discuss, and write about representative examples of dystopian fiction written by authors from a diverse set of religious and philosophical backgrounds. Students will examine fictional worlds in an effort to shed light on their place both in Creation and the smaller communities in which they live.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, their powers of discernment, and their ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” In Cultural Diplomacy in the Twentieth Century, students will study ways that the United States and the international community sought to cooperate with Latin American countries during the 1900s, including cultural diplomacy and mechanisms of soft power. During this time, institutions, scholars, writers, artists, and educators from both sides of the continent gave rise to a dynamic process of cultural exchange. Artists like Jose Clemente Orozco and Diego Rivera from Mexico were invited to the US to collaborate and leave their cultural legacies at Dartmouth College and the Museum of Modern Art. This course examines these diplomatic efforts, while considering questions about the media and literary representation on the concept of otherness and/or the “other” in our society. Students will learn to read proficiently and think critically about culture, including examining larger systems and structures. By evaluating both the brokenness and hope in our world from a Reformed worldview, students will learn to formulate perspectives on God’s intended creation and His purpose for the “good life.” Class lectures will be delivered in English, and the students will have a choice to submit their assignments and homework either in English or in Spanish, as the course content engages two cultures and two languages. The professor will provide feedback on assignments based on the language of their choice.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, their powers of discernment, and their ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” In Thinking and Writing in Code, students consider how throughout human history, writing technologies have profoundly shaped the ways that humans think, express themselves, and conduct their social and cultural relationships. However, the languages and writing that inform the information technologies we use today have become mostly hidden to us, a secrecy and hiddenness reflected in our use of the word “code” to describe this writing. We depend greatly upon these powerful and complicated information technologies, and they continue to profoundly shape our lives, and yet our relationship to them often leaves us feeling fearful, ignorant, and vulnerable. Thus, the good life to which we are called by God must include redeeming the design, production, deployment, and use of information technologies. Students in this course will begin to learn about the structures, particularities, and nature of “code,” writing carefully, clearly, logically, and intentionally in actual software language. First, students will learn to write the code underlying web pages, writing about our relationships to the web using the web itself as a writing space, deepening their understanding of the web and moving toward a more empowered relationship to the Internet. Second, students will move on to write software code in “Processing,” a versatile programming language environment that is very friendly to beginning programmers: visual, interactive, experimental, playful, yet also powerful. Writing critically, reflectively, and hopefully within the medium of software itself, students will create interactive software experiences that problematize and reimagine our relationships to software as ones closer to the kind of good life to which God calls us. Students do not need any prior experience with web design or with writing in computer code in order to take this course and enjoy it.

In Thinking and Writing courses, students develop their self-awareness, their powers of discernment, and their ability to think and write about the question, “What is the good life?” Thinking and Writing: Imagination and Community (Honors) is designed to challenge Honors students to read, think, and write beyond the bounds of their previous experience and to think about and enjoy writing in new ways. In Imagination and Community, students share their own stories, hear the stories of others, consider story in Christian perspective, and reflect on the nature of story in light of shared human experience. Students also engage the essential role of imagination in our thinking, reading, and writing, as we consider the world, ourselves, and our community in new ways. Imagination and Community seeks to instill in students practices of intentionally building a strong group dynamic, of carefully listening to and thoughtfully responding to the work of others, and of imaginative approaches to reading and writing. It takes as its starting point Wendell Berry’s injunction, “We do not have to live as if we are alone.”

This course gives entrepreneurial minded students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture of 1871 in downtown Chicago, participating in the life of this unique center of innovation. Students are required to spend one day a week at 1871, attending workshops, networking and working with innovators, and planning an event for the larger 1871 community. They will be expected to take their ideas and use the resources of 1871 to move their ideas from concept to product launch.

In this course, students will study literary works written in or about Chicago during the last 150 years, including poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and drama; and a portion of the course will also consider the development of Chicago blues. In addition to studying a diverse body of Chicago-based literature, students will take regular excursions to area locations pertaining to the works they are studying, such as the Carl Sandburg House, the neighborhoods of Humboldt Park and Hyde Park, the Hall Library, the Lorraine Hansberry House, the Ernest Hemingway Birthplace, and various sites associated with Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie and Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City. Students will also have an opportunity to hear live blues in a downtown venue and to attend a performance of a play. Assignments will be based on both literary analysis and field experience.

This course examines how the political climate of Illinois, including racial and socioeconomic disparity, plays into the quality of life available for people with disabilities. While we believe that all persons were created in God’s image, this group of people is often is treated as “other” and stigmatized rather than being treated as a beautiful and purposeful gift from God. Students will study the history that Illinois has made in the world of disability from the first college wheelchair basketball team to medical research facilities specializing in disabilities. Students will connect and interact with individuals with disabilities living in the surrounding community to build relationships and understanding, as well as read personal stories about individuals with disabilities. Students will also partner with advocacy groups, business leaders, researchers, and politicians to learn about the climate of disability in Chicago and examine practices in every environment, such as Section 504 laws, American Disabilities Act (ADA), and Universal Design for Learning.

In this course, students will trace the history of human occupation of latitude 41.7076 degrees north, longitude 87.5942 degrees west, or the Pullman neighborhood of Chicago. Early weeks of the course consider the natural features of the land 500 years ago, and use of the land by Midwestern Native American groups. The course will then examine the growth of Chicago and Midwestern industry in the late 19th century, the building of the model town of Pullman by George Pullman and the Pullman Palace Car Company, and the violent strike of 1894.  Along with studying the town’s incorporation into the city of Chicago and post-World War II deindustrialization, students will also examine the neighborhood today, the people who live there, and their community identity, economic pursuits, and relationship to surrounding neighborhoods and to the city itself.

This course fosters understanding in how the field of theatre has been shaped by people with Chicago roots or connections. Students will attend several live theatrical productions in a variety of theatre companies within the city of Chicago, and read five nationally-recognized plays written by people who have called Chicago home for a significant period of time. In studying how Chicago theatre is contextualized within larger national and global contexts, students will experience theatrical productions that are generated in Chicago, that are brought to Chicago from New York, and that are brought to Chicago from another country. Students will also study how theatre in Chicago addresses contemporary social issues including racism, gender inequity, classism, abuse of power, disability access, technological advancements, among others. An additional course fee of $375 will cover the costs of tickets, travel, food, and guest speakers.

This course will introduce students to the professional academic community in the Chicagoland area. Students will gain an understanding of how an academic discipline grows, solves controversies, and makes progress in understanding its subject matter. In addition, an exploration of how a discipline can contribute to and alleviate human suffering will be included. These understandings will be facilitated through specific reflection on the history of psychology, in general and Chicago institutions and people that affected psychology in particular. Readings and assignments on such institutions as the Midwestern Psychological Association, the University of Chicago, and Adler University will be required. Students will reflect on how place affects the history of a discipline and how place affects their own calling within that discipline.

This course focuses on the importance of the relationship between persons and institutions in the built environment as it relates to the development of Chicago. The first half of the course asks the question: “What is the city as it is?” by looking at the history of Chicago as an exemplary American city, and investigating aspects of its underlying culture, with its social, economic, and political foundations. The second half of the course asks the question: “What is the city as it should be?” To answer this question, students explore alternative models of urban planning designed to change how people experience place in the built environment. The course also explores restorative efforts to renew the city based on the call to work for social justice and the desire for a Biblical shalom (nothing broken, nothing missing) in the city.

This course introduces students to the criminal justice field, practices of restorative justice, and contemporary movements for social justice in the United States and more specifically in Chicago. Students will explore how race, poverty, and inequality impact individuals and community experiences with the criminal justice system. Through visits and conversations with community organizers, advocates, and practitioners across the city, the course looks at how communities address issues related to injustice. The course is immersion intensive, where each week students explore, observe, engage in, and research Chicago, including the neighborhoods of Uptown, Lakeview, North Lawndale, Rogers Park, and Pilsen. Course assignments also engage students in exploring issues of racial segregation across the city, criminal justice reform practices, and analysis of a contemporary justice issue encountered in the city.

This course equips Honors students in cultivating a Christian perspective on civic engagement for the common good by critically examining an emergent sector in late-modern society: social entrepreneurship (socent). This course analyzes questions regarding the design, development, and implementing of socent, asking how a socially entrepreneurial organization tells its story, build its networks, and cultivate communal thriving. Responding to the socioeconomic disparities that propel social entrepreneurial development, students will learn introductory community-based participatory research methodology in order to conduct apprentice-level field work across the Chicago-area socents and their development work. The course will also discuss Christian approaches to such development, especially when dealing with racial, gendered, socioeconomic, and intercultural ethics of difference.

In this course, students will draw from the theoretical and methodological traditions of the Chicago School of Sociology in examining the interactive relationship between the people, culture, and physical spaces of Chicago’s neighborhoods. We will explore issues of individualism and community, a central tension in modern social life, and examine how people live and interact in complex urban environments within a globalized world. Students will also consider how urban design and public policy might promote just and equitable urban neighborhoods and opportunities. In addition, through an in-depth look at housing issues, we will consider what it means to be in community – drawing from the belief that we are created as social beings in need of connection with others – and ask how we can best care for others within highly concentrated and diverse contexts.

This course explores the habits, commitments, and histories of four major religious traditions: Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The course enables students to identify and articulate key concepts and practices, especially as related to salvation, that form and encapsulate how Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists (and others, as time allows) experience and inhabit reality. Students are also empowered to identify and articulate how these traditions, due to God’s revelation centered in Christ, are both similar to and different from each other and from Christian ways of life, especially with regard to salvation.
