SPRING TERM HYFLEX COURSE OFFERING: Brain and Behavior Part 2: How Do We Process The World Around Us?

SPRING TERM COURSE OFFERING: Five Formidable Femme Fatales On Film 

The stereotype of the femme fatale has origins as old as Lilith in the Bible. She has appeared in art, mythology, drama, and literature ever since. She was a goddess and enchantress who could bend men to her will with trickery, seduction, sorcery, and wit. The advent of film allows us to fully experience her working her wiles in contemporary contexts. In this course, we will consider the accuracy of this stereotype. Learn more.
