Racial Bias in Colonial Spanish America and Modern DNA Studies
In colonial Spanish America, civil rights and responsibilities were based on the degree of European blood one had.
These racial classifications were often the result of impressions of skin color rather than definite knowledge of
ancestry, and were often made arbitrarily by a priest or official recording the information. The instructor will show
how this Spanish Castas (caste) system compares to DNA studies and the ramifications on modern identity.

does the rise of Donald Trump signify? What can we do about the epidemic of fake
news? Which civilization dominates the world: the West, China, Islam? Should
Europe keep its doors open to immigrants? Can nationalism solve the problems of
inequality and climate change? What should we do about terrorism? What should we
teach our kids? In each session, different class members will prepare questions that
will be used to guide the stimulating discussion of the core book.
Best-selling author Yuval Harari’s new book builds on his two previous books to take the
pulse of the current political climate. The book invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in
a world full of noise and uncertainty.

“With its stunning camera work and striking compositions,
Carl Th. Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) convinced
the world that movies could be art. Renée Falconetti gives one
of the greatest performances ever recorded on film as the
young maiden who died for ‘God and France.’ ”
The Children of Paradise (1946) is an intimate drama on a vast stage. It is
a love letter to the theater, to love lost, and to the panorama of Paris in the
1840s. It features Garance and Baptiste: she, loved by four men, played by
Arletty; he, the mime-actor, astonishingly played by JeanLouis Barrault of
the Comédie-Française.
In Ingmar Bergman’s 1957 The Seventh Seal, a knight returns from the
Crusades to encounter a plague-racked land. Called “a medieval allegory,
unbearably bleak and comical,” it is a singular film posing difficult
questions. “Haunting images include the knight playing chess with Death
at the water’s edge.”
The White Sheik (1952): Confusion between illusion and reality is
deftly posed in Federico Fellini's first film, a comic-satire, about a
couple honeymooning in Rome.
