ART 339: Honors Photography: Introduces a range of theories, ideas,

techniques, and processes of still photography in a fine art context. Emphasizes
photography's creative potential.
This course has been recommended to me by all of my peers within the Honors
program. Its also a subject that I would like to know more about as an individual
that understands little of the techniques in photography in eliciting certain
emotional responses, or the processes involved in producing a good photo.
ASIAN 206: Literature and Culture of South Asia from Tradition to
Modernity: Introduction to medieval and modern South Asian literature in its
cultural context.
As a South Asia Languages and Literature minor I am naturally interested in this
course. However, Im anticipating this class in particular because I will be able to
connect my cultural knowledge of South Asia (my experiences in India and my
limited comprehension/fluency in Hindi) to the texts that well be reading in
class, as themes in South Asian literature encompass societal themes like caste,
the independence movement, and gender roles.
JSIS B 180: Introduction to Global Health: Disparities, Determinants,
Policies and OutcomesProvides an introduction to global health, including: the

burden and distribution of disease and mortality; the determinants of global

health disparities; the making of global health polices; and the outcomes of
global health interventions. Im inspired to take this course because of Professor
Sparke, my first professor from the Jackson School of International Studies. He
spent a great deal of time discussing global health, and about the disparities in
the world that many people in American society are blind to, such as the
interference and testing by pharmaceutical companies in the developing world
exclusively for the comparatively privileged global North.
