The Rise and Fall of Ancient Athens
GRK 352
Comprehensive coverage of the cultural and historical world of the ancient Greek civilization from the end of the Greco-Persian wars in 479 BCE through the rise and decline of Athens (including the Peloponnesian War with Sparta) to the final defeat of the Greek cities by Philip of Macedon in 338 BCE. This holistic study addresses not only the history of this period but also its literature, art and philosophy, with an emphasis on how these phenomena relate to one another. This period advanced to the state that was regarded by later civilizations as their peak, and which inspired Rome and Europe in the Renaissance. Athens, as the cultural center of Greece at this time, boasted the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the comedies of Aristophanes, the history of Thucydides, the philosophy of Plato, and the artistic achievement of the Parthenon.

Comprehensive coverage of the cultural and historical world of the ancient Greek civilization from the ascent of Alexander the Great to the Macedonian throne in 338-336 BCE, through the existence of the kingdoms that followed his conquests, until their final subjugation by the Roman Empire in 31 BCE. This holistic study addresses not only the history of this period, but also its literature, art, religion, philosophy and science, with an emphasis on how these phenomena relate to one another. This was a period of massive economic and military expansion (including colonization), accompanied by social dislocation and cultural and scientific innovation. In these respects, this period has much to teach us today.

Great Adaptations
ASM 313
Tiny hummingbirds and huge whales commute thousands of miles every year, male bower birds construct elaborately decorated structures to impress females, and some parasites program suicidal behavior into their hosts. These amazing (and sometimes bizarre) behaviors are all adaptations--traits that have been favored by selection because they enhance the ability of individuals to survive and reproduce successfully. The study of adaptation helps us to understand how evolution generates complexity and to understand the processes that underlie the rich diversity of life. Covers the principles of natural selection and a diverse and remarkable range of adaptations in nature.

Evolutionary Medicine and Global Health
ASM 403
Fundamentally, the practice of medicine is applied biology to improve human health and well-being and is embedded within population and global scales. Integrates the life and social sciences to tackle the current and emerging global health challenges of the 21st century with an evolutionary biology lens with current medical knowledge enhancing our understanding of health. Uses topics such as human-pathogen coevolution; development and aging; human migration; diseases (infectious, metabolic and autoimmune); and physiological and behavioral mechanisms of immunity to explore the broad arena of human health within a deep time and global context.
