LBRL 422 - The Pursuit of Happiness: Philosophy, Literature, and the Good Life
This seminar examines the intersection and cross-fertilization of philosophy and literature in modern European and American culture. At the center of our investigation is one of the fundamental questions regarding the purpose and value of human existence: how do we define happiness and what constitutes the good life? Inquiry into this question departs from the Socratic stance, which promotes the relentless practice of critical self-awareness in our pursuit of knowledge, wisdom, virtue and happiness.

LBRL 423 - Relations between Jewish and Christian Cultures in Europe, c. 1100-c. 1650
A seminar in which we investigate some of the many ways in which Jewish and Christian cultures influenced each other - through individuals, texts, institutions, and communities - during formative periods in the history of medieval and early modern Europe. Through analysis and interpretation of select sources, we will study several aspects of Jewish-Christian interaction - some singular, some episodic, some ongoing - including legal structures regulating relations between Jews and Christians, forms of direct cultural exchange (ideas, beliefs, practices, etc.), individual cases of religious conversion, uses of polemical literature, episodes of inter-communal violence, and the manifestation of concerns with purity and exclusion.

LBRL 424 - Exploring Apocalypticism
This course seeks to understand the social phenomenon of millenarianism. Apocalyptic social movements typically hold beliefs that stand at odds with their culture, and often material reality. Outbreaks of cosmic expectation happen at moments of cultural encounter and rapid change. As a result, millennial expectation often is associated with social radicalism and extremism, and sometimes is a factor in religious violence. This course uses case studies from new religious movements and historic events in established world religions to explore these issues. By introducing students to a broad base of theorists and methodologies, this class cultivates an interdisciplinary understanding of the humanities and social sciences. Students in LBRL 424 will both engage in historiographic debate and pursue research projects of their own.
