CPEA 201 - Art of Observation (4 Cr.)
Are you tempted to watch the grass grow or follow the traces of cloud shadows scudding over the earth? Do you hear music in the hubbub of a crowded marketor in passing traffic? Would you like to experience the ocean in a humble puddle? We live in an age of point and shoot immediacy and instantaneous commentary which demands our constant attention. But attention to what, exactly? What if you had time to think more quietly, to look with abandon, to reach conclusions slowly and with deliberation? In this course, we will delve into the differences between looking, seeing and observing and we will immerse ourselves with places, people and ideas over time.Using photography, writing and sound recording and working in groups and individually, we will spend a semester of intense looking and listening. We will use many forms of recording and responding to our observations including working collaboratively on a book that features image and text, playing with image and sound and writing from multiple perspectives. Over the course of the semester, using observation as your foundation, you will develop a project that is connected to your deep interests. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students or others with instructor permission. Burns.

CPEA 204 - Social Media from the Inside Out (4 Cr.)
You likely use social media all the time- to express yourself, connect with friends, and access culture and information. How does social media and the internet shape how we communicate today? In this class, we will explore this big question by engaging with social media at a deeper level and using it to achieve a collective artistic or activist goal. This class is based on group collaboration: working together to create a media production, put it out into the world, and connect with people around it, using social media. Your work can be creative, advocacy, entertaining, maybe all of the above- it’s really all about how you work together to create something meaningful and engage an audience with it. Along the way, you will get to peek behind the curtain to see how social media platforms work- as technologies, businesses, and communities- and gain some real world experience in how to use these tools beyond personal expression and day-to-day connections. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students or others with instructor permission. Kimball.

CPEA 205 - You Are What You Make: Thou Art (4 Cr.)
Where does meaning lie in art? If a painting sells for 40 million dollars, is it better than one that sells for one million? How does art intersect with your life? Is the impulse to make art a defining human characteristic? In this CPE course, students will examine questions such as these, and create a work of art (in any form - no experience needed!) in mutually supportive artists’ collectives. By engaging in the artist’s process, they will develop a greater understanding of meaning and value in art. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students or others with instructor permission. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students or others with instructor permission. Kennison and Campbell.

CPEA 206 - Embodying Lemonade (4 Cr.)
Beyoncé Knowles is an international artist whose work is garnering more attention for its socio-political themes. On the surface, Beyoncé might seem to deploy messages about race, gender, class, and sexuality that appear to coincide with certain stereotypical social norms; but in this course, we use Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” as a framework to understand the politics of bodies as communicative devices. Our approach will be multifaceted: First, we will assess how our bodies communicate to others around us; and secondly how media uses bodies to curate communication. In this course, we will position Beyoncé as a progressive, feminist, and queer icon through meticulous examination of her work and career alongside historical and contemporary black feminist writing. We won’t read about Beyoncé; rather, these juxtapositions will put her work in conversation with larger issues in an attempt to understand the socio-political communication of bodies. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students or others with instructor permission. Shaheed.

CPEB 201 - Baltimore ‘68: What has Changed 50 Years Later? (4 Cr.) (GCR RPP)
Following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, people living in Baltimore rose up in multiple, enduring acts of civil unrest. The uprising, which began on April 6 and lasted through April 14, 1968 saw many people taking to the streets in protest, violence, and the looting and burning of property and businesses. The civil unrest left a mark on most who experienced or saw images of it as it occurred. This highly influential event has been well studied and is better understood today than it was then. The question is: 50 years later have we learned our lesson? Working in groups we will grapple with this question using political science and religious studies to help guide our inquiry. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students or others with instructor permission. Kasnunias.

CPEB 202 - Give me your tired, your poor…In search of citizenship: The immigrant experience (4 Cr.)
The current debates over immigration inform the stories about ourselves as a people and the evolution of our identity as Americans and/or as citizens of other countries. In this course we will work collaboratively to explore the myriad facets of the immigrant experience using a case study approach. We begin by looking at historical immigration trends in Baltimore among three groups - Germans, Irish, and Jews. Then we will study historical perspectives and debates on immigration to the United States, the meaning of citizenship, and the rights of non-citizens. We will compare the U.S. immigration experience and citizenship approaches with three different countries, representing different regions: Canada, Germany, and Israel. During the course of the semester you will work in pairs as well as small groups and collaborate on oral history projects based on interviews with recent immigrants. Additional group projects will include students debates on citizenship and the relationship between identity and citizenship as well as the development of policy papers to weigh the options for admitting immigrants and granting citizenship.The current debate over immigration, both in the United States and in Europe, provides the framework for this CPE. The debate engages diverse voices, different agendas, and conflicting policies. This is the starting point for our study of immigration, citizenship, and identity. We will be guided by a series of questions and problems in our search for answers and solutions and consider multidisciplinary approaches. This CPE combines the disciplines of political science, media studies, cross-cultural studies, and history to study immigration. The source materials on immigration are rich, diverse, and varied and we will take advantage of myriad books, films, archives, documents, photographs, and on-line exhibits. Ellis Island, a powerful symbol of the American immigrant experience, has an extensive website which we will use in and out of class. Its on-line library, oral histories, and documentary films can be found at www.libertyellisfoundation.org. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students or others with instructor permission. Honick and Larkey.

Ever feel like you are spinning your wheels but not making progress toward your goals? Ever want to be part of a team coming up with innovative ideas that lead to meaningful change? Methods in improvement science can guide us in developing more effective strategies for reaching personal and organizational goals. In this course, we will look at examples of how improvement science has been used to make positive changes in education and health care. We will practice skills that can shift our frame of mind to one of systematic and innovative improvement rather than aimless efforts leading to stagnation. As a class, we will apply these skills by developing and implementing change processes to reach a common aim on campus.

CPED 201 - Thirsty for Change? A hands-on, immersive class on local water quality (4 Cr.)
Do you know where your water comes from? Do you know if it is safe to drink or for animals to live in? Do you know how water is monitored and tested to ensure it is safe or clean water? Water is essential to life, and clean water is vital for any thriving community or ecosystem. Unfortunately, clean water is not guaranteed, especially in congested, urban areas. As concerning as this is, there is something you can do about it (yes, you)! This course will empower you to learn about water systems and sources and provide you with the tools to affect positive change. You will learn about water quality and water challenges facing Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay that has been caused by human activity. You will learn how water is monitored and tested, and gain hands-on experience testing water. With that knowledge, you will work in teams on a final project to identify a specific water quality problem, apply the scientific process to develop water testing kit and compose a grant proposal enabling local citizens to implement your kit and foster a healthier environment. I will give you feedback on your grant proposals as part of your course grade, and encourage students to submit strong proposals for external funding. You can make a difference and this course will give you the tools to do so! Please note, this course includes mandatory field trips and field work.

CPED 202 - Disease and Discrimination: the toll of inequality on Human Health (4 Cr.) (GCR RPP)
How do diseases get in to and affect the body? How do the conditions in which we live, work, and play impact health? In this course we examine the biological aspects of disease as well as the intersecting inequalities (race, class, sex, sexuality, and others) that contribute to it. We will study the biomedical and social determinants and consequences of 2 diseases -one infectious (HIV) and one non-infectious (diabetes). Working individually and in cooperative groups, students will then embark on bio-social explorations of a health condition of their choice (from Alzheimer’s to Zika) within a local or international setting (from Baltimore to Mumbai). Restricted to first-year and sophomore students or others with instructor permission. Cresiski and Greenberg.

CPED 250 - Myth Busters: Applying The Scientific Method to Everyday Claims (4 Cr.)
It has been suggested that we have moved from an information-scarce environment where there was not as much information but the vast majority of it was reliable-to an information-rich environment in which there is a great deal more information, but it is mostly unreliable opinion and junk. How do we decide what to believe? What information constitutes “knowledge”? One way to determine this is with the tools of science. Our focus in this course will be to use the tools of science, notably the scientific method, to explore a current issue. We will begin with a discussion of epistemology, or how we know what we know, and we will learn about the methods of science, including their limitations and when and where it is best or even necessary to use them. After learning some of this background, you will embark on a collaborative project, culminating in a proposal for one way to use these tools to address a current topic or problem. Restricted to first-year and sophomore students or others with instructor permission. Ghirardelli.
