Fall 2020  12754 001SEM (1 Units)Open19 / 22Brad CarsonTh 7:00pm - 9:30pm Garrett Hall 100
 "Terrorism," wrote the novelist Don DeLillo, "is the language of being noticed." So how does our culture "notice" extremist violence? How is terrorism portrayed in film and in novels? What do film and literature reveal about the definition of terrorism, its significance, and our reaction to it? This class takes popular culture as a jumping off point to a deeper understanding of why people adopt extreme views, often undertake violent acts in the name of those views, and what we as a society can do about it.

 Why is climate change a hot button issue in the culture wars despite its scientific basis? What would it take to reach the Paris Agreement targets? What will the U.S. have to do to be "carbon neutral" by 2050? What roles to the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches play in crafting a national policy? How have nations responded to date to the climate crisis? Will the U.S. withdraw from Paris or will it lead the way to an effective, global solution?

Class is taught by a former State Department negotiator and co-chair of the Paris negotiations in 2015.

 This course will consider the inner workings of the processes national governments rely on to address global environmental challenges. While the path to each environmental treaty is unique, all multilateral environmental treaty discussions must overcome similar challenges to ensure a fair and equitable outcome -- while also delivering real environmental benefits. The course provides an overview of multilateral environmental negotiations writ large. Students will gain extensive insight into the treaty-making process internationally and domestically, as well as into how multilateral environmental agreements are developed and implemented. Lessons learned will have direct application to multilateral negotiations across multiple other issue areas, from human health to outer space.
