Most of the major categories of adaptive behavior can be seen in all animals. This course begins with the evolution of behavior, the driver of nervous system evolution, reviewed using concepts developed in ethology, sociobiology, other comparative studies, and in studies of brain evolution. The roles of various types of plasticity are considered, as well as foraging and feeding, defensive and aggressive behavior, courtship and reproduction, migration and navigation, social activities and communication, with contributions of inherited patterns and cognitive abilities. Both field and laboratory based studies are reviewed; and finally, human behavior is considered within the context of primate studies.

About the speakerAnne Curzan · Language historian English professor Anne Curzan actually encourages her students to use slang in class. Language historian Anne Curzan gives a charming look at the humans behind dictionaries, and the choices they make. English professor Anne Curzan actually encourages her students to use slang in class. A language historian, she is fascinated by how people use words—and by how this changes. One could argue that slang words like ‘hangry,’ ‘defriend’ and ‘adorkable’ fill crucial meaning gaps in the English language, even if they don't appear in the dictionary.

This case study introduces students to treatment alternatives for depression using a jigsaw method in which groups of students are divided up so that each member of the "home group" becomes the "resident expert" in one of five possible treatment options. Designed for a course in abnormal psychology, this case could be adapted for courses in physiological psychology, pharmacy, and neurobiology.

There will be a focus on three major themes, with a section for each:
Destruction/iconoclasm and the erasure of culture (due to ideology, neglect, or disregard for the object)
Looting and the appropriation of objects (for purposes of propaganda and economic gain)
Restitution, repatriation, reconstruction, and artistic interventions
Because of the complexity and often overlapping issues of looting and destruction, many examples will fit into more than one theme.
This lesson is intended to be completed in two one-hour-and-fifteen-minute sessions. While the lesson itself contains material for a much deeper discussion of these issues, instructors should feel free to choose the works, time periods, and geographical locations that fit most comfortably into their course.

Dr. Nigel Spivey uses the 2004 election campaign of George Bush to explore the manner in which art and architecture have been used to propagandize powerful figures since time immemorial. Spivey’s four case studies hit four keys areas in the early part of the art history survey—Stonehenge (Prehistory), Darius the Great and Persepolis (Ancient Near East), Alexander the Great (Ancient Greece), and Augustus (Ancient Rome)—in just under 56 minutes. Students begin the course prepared to see ancient art as connected to the contemporary world around them, and to discuss how images can be used politically, economically, and socially—not just as objects of display in a museum or PowerPoint. The mess of electioneering today has great precedent in ancient cultures—they produced propaganda too.
