HIST 669 - Femininity and Masculinity in the Middle Ages [3]
The central theme of this course will be the importance of gender as a category of cultural difference. We will consider the ways in which medieval society defined femininity and masculinity, appropriate male and female behavior, and men’s and women’s bodies. What did it mean to be masculine/feminine within medieval culture? Who created these definitions? How were the definitions challenged? What role does sexual behavior play in these definitions? How do other categories, like economic class, religion, and ethnicity complicate ideas about gender? To address these questions, each week we will read some combination of primary sources, monographs and scholarly articles that center around a particular theme.
There are four main goals in this course. The first is to learn how ideas about masculinity and femininity shaped the lives of men and women in medieval Europe. The second is to master the historiography of sex and gender in recent medieval histories. The third is to develop your own research project. The final goal is to improve your presentation skills. To that end, each of you will be responsible for leading one class and, at the end of the semester, you will each present your independent research to the course as a whole.

IS 643 - Electronic Government [3]
In 2002, half of all Americans and three-quarters of all American Internet users have visited a government web site to find information and/or conduct transactions (Council for Excellence in Government April 14, 2003). Three-quarters of the American e-government users believe that having government available on the Internet has made it much easier and more convenient for them to stay informed about government programs and policies; two-thirds of these e-government users believe that it is also now more convenient and easier to conduct transactions with government. This course examines the policy framework that enables and electronic government in the U.S. at the federal, state, and local levels of government. Government-2-Citizen, Government-2-Business, and Government-2-Government processes to provide information and services through electronic media are analyzed and evaluated using the policy framework and the context of current U.S. government issues and activities. Critical concerns such as privacy, security, e-democracy, and access in an electronic environment are addressed throughout the course.
