1st half semester course. This senior capstone course will challenge students with an application of fundamental concepts from earlier coursework to the topic of dyes. From textiles to medicine to cutting-edge experiments using fluorescence, dyes are chemical tools with a long and interdisciplinary history. In-depth exploration will connect overarching themes in the major and provide a powerful launching point for written comprehensive exam preparation. Critical engagement with the primary literature and diverse modes of oral and written presentation will be emphasized. This one-half credit course is required of all chemistry majors and meets twice each week for the first half of the semester.

CLA-113-01=HIS-210-01 During the debates over the ratification of America's Constitution, some of the most influential Founding Fathers wrote under classical pseudonyms like Publius, Brutus, and Cato. In fact, when Europeans first arrived in the Americas, they often looked to historical models from the ancient past to make sense of the "New World." Chief among these was the example of Ancient Rome, which profoundly influenced the colonial societies that took shape in the wake of English, Spanish, and Portuguese conquests. This course will examine the history of Ancient Rome and its reception in the Americas. 亚洲通 will focus on historical episodes in which debates about Rome and its legacy played a key role, ranging from the founding of the American Republic to the Spanish conquest of Mexico. This is a first-half semester course. If students register in this section, they cannot take the second-half semester course that is the same (i.e. students cannot take both CLA-113-01 and CLA-113-02)

CLA-113-03=HIS-210-03 Homer's Iliad and the Odyssey - epic poems about the Trojan War and Odysseus' homeward journey - stood at the heart of ancient Greek culture. Before they were written down, however, bards sung them around campfires for half a millennium. Those intervening centuries saw climate change, famine, disease, massive movements of population, and the collapse of major civilizations around the Eastern Mediterranean. And so this course investigates the archaeological record to ask: Do the Iliad and the Odyssey mirror such events or are they merely stories? What historical truths do the poems reflect? And how has the work of Wabash students and faculty contributed to our knowledge? This is a first-half semester course. If students register in this section, they cannot take the second-half semester course that is the same (i.e. students cannot take both CLA-113-03 and CLA-113-04)

1st half semester course. PSY-210-01=NSC-210-01 In recent decades, our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness for our health and flourishing has greatly improved. And today, we find ourselves at a point where the neural basis of mindfulness, and the impact of mindfulness interventions on the brain, are becoming more clear. In this course, we will consider the relationship between mindfulness and stress, attention, emotion regulation, and body awareness through the lens of the available neuroscience literature. 亚洲通'll also consider the potential for mindfulness to be cultivated (through formal mindfulness-interventions, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy), and the strength of the evidence that mindfulness interventions can produce positive changes in nervous system function, as well as the potential for people to experience adverse outcomes in mindfulness training.

Are religion and science in conflict with each other? In agreement? How or why, one way or the other? These are our questions. 亚洲通'll do two main things in this course. First, we'll take a careful look at the different "ways of knowing" that are characteristic of science and religion, respectively. Second, we'll look at several models for thinking critically and responsibly about how they are related. Readings will include selections from Bertolt Brecht, Alan Lightman, Jacob Bronowski, Adam Frank, and others, as well as some classic texts in the history of science. This is a first-half semester course.
