Plessy's Legacy and the Black Freedom Struggle in New Orleans and Beyond. This course starts from the idea that the condition of the Americas is grounded in histories of profound un-freedom, and in histories of struggle to achieve freedom; these struggles are then grounded not only in an analysis of what the problems are but also in visions for what a better future might look like. Our task in this course is to chart out an understanding of what Robin D.G. Kelley calls the "freedom dreams" that have been guiding Black Americans' struggles from the beginning of their presence in the Americas to the present, as well as the conditions that have necessitated these efforts, and our study will revolve around a particular local site and the multiple ways in which it is situated in these larger histories and power relationships.

This course aims to introduce the study of sexuality and gender. Questions such as "Is there a third gender?" "How are women represented in the media?" and "What is gender?" will be examined within a cross-cultural framework. This class will explore the experiences of women in the U.S and in other cultures. In order to engage critically with cross-cultural constructions of sexuality, gender and womanhood, we will examine both literary and artistic representations of gender (documentaries, films, visual art) throughout the semester.

A seminar on the transatlantic connections between America and South Africa. This interdisciplinary course explores the historical connections between South Africa and the US. The course will examine the ways in which cultural, political and economic exchanges have shaped the two countries over the past four centuries, from the early days of Dutch and British colonialism, through Jim Crow and Apartheid, into the globalized present in which both countries are intertwined in ways that are not often recognized or analyzed. Specific New Orleans-area connections that would be addressed would include an examination of Zulu identity in South Africa and New Orleans, and research on the anti-apartheid movement in the U.S. in the archives of the Amistad Research Center

SPTP 2010-01 Introduction to Routing The course will cover CISCO router hardware (including expansion slots as well as storage areas – NVRAM and FLASH), router configuration modes (user mode, privileged exec mode, interface configuration mode, router configuration mode), router security (console, auxiliary, and telnet or ssh password configuration, enable secret password), interface configuration (IPv4 and IPv6 settings, converting a WAN Interface card to provide timing), configuration of static routes, default routes, routing protocols (RIP version 2, OSPF, EIGRP), and configuration of WAN protocol encapsulation (Frame-Relay, PPP, HDLC). The course will also cover the Router-on-a-Stick configuration to allow for inter-VLAN communication. Students will have hands-on experience working with real routers as well as virtual routers in a simulator. In addition, the course will also cover the configuration of CISCO switches – i.e. switch security (console, auxiliary, and telnet or ssh password configuration, enable secret password), VLAN configuration, VLAN interface assignment, VLAN Trunking Protocol, as well as Port Security settings. This should serve as a good foundation for the CCENT certification.

After their disastrous defeat in World War I, Germany looked for a solution to their rampant unemployment, devastating inflation, and lack of leadership. Some argued that Germany did not lose the war militarily, but that a betrayal by the “November Criminals” proved to be the culprit for Germany’s surrender and eventual collapse under the conditions of the dreaded Treaty of Versailles. “The Rise of National Socialism and the Holocaust” investigates this turbulent period of history where the world would be engulfed in another world war at the hands of an ideology that professed hate for one particular ethnic group – the Jews. Covering the period in European history from 1919 to 1945, “The Rise of National Socialism and the Holocaust” will begin with the origins of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party and culminating with the total hynosis of the German people into believing that their destiny lay in the promotion of anti-Semitism, the theories of eugenics, and the glorification of the “Aryan Master Race.” 3.00 Lecture Hours 0.00 Lab Hours 3.00 Credit Hours Special Topics Course

This course examines the historical, political, economical and sociological dynamics of racial and ethnic relations in the United States. It investigates how race and ethnicity are created and re-created in society, particularly by culture and institutions, and the way these "social constructions" perpetuate social inequality. Students will attempt to understand and critically examine what happens in societies where people are "colored" by the myths and contradictions of race and ethnicity.

This course is a continuation of General Physics II. Therefore, we recommend that the student enroll in this course only after the successful completion of General Physics II or similar sophomore level General Physics course which includes the physics of vibrations, waves, thermodynamics, electricity & magnetism, electric circuits, geometrical optics, and physical optics. The calculation of the derivatives of simple functions and the solutions of linear differential equations for various physical systems will be studied. We begin by discussing the concerns of the physical scientist, the scientific method of investigation, discussion of essential differences of the physical sciences from other fields of study. We initially gain insight as we study the motion of familiar systems. Our guiding principle is to consider the universe as our laboratory. Therefore our studies will also encompass the very large (astronomical, the macrocosm) and the very small microcosm (atomic structre, electrons, protons, neutrons, and their constituent quarks). However, the various methods energy production, nuclear, fossil fuel, solar, hydro-electric, and geothermal, will be studied.
