While piracy existed since ancient times, it developed with new forms and strategies into a world that finally became global after Europeans reached the New World in the late fifteenth century. Motivated by the riches extracted from the new colonial domains of the Spanish monarchy, other European rulers sponsored seamen to attack and raid Spanish vessels and colonial territories. However, there were many other individuals that embarked in raiding activities without official recognition or sponsorship. Pirates became global entrepreneurs, whose activities shaped political, economic, and social configurations around the globe. While the geographical scope of this course covers the domains of the Spanish monarchy, this expanded over diverse regions within Europe, America, and Asia. Therefore, the study of piracy in the territory comprised by the Spanish monarchy permits a global perspective of this phenomenon.Semester AddedFall 2021WOH4431: Ships, Cargo, and Greed: Material and Cultural Encounters in the Spanish Pacific, 1513-1815Academic DepartmentWST 3015* - Introduction to Global Gender and Women's StudiesUCC, Discipline Specific, BothAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionConsiders the interdisciplinary study of women in today's world.Semester Added Spring 2013WST 3106 - Introduction to Global DiversityDiscipline SpecificAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionEvaluates diversity across the globe in terms of race, ethnicity, religion, culture, gender, age, sexuality, ability, and status to access systems of inequality and privelage.Semester Added Spring 2014WST 3114 - Sex Trafficking: Building SolutionsDiscipline SpecificAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionThis course will provide an overview of all forms of sex trafficking and examine the issue through a historical, theoretical and social justice lens focusing on creating solutions.Semester Added Fall 2018WST 3120 - Global Women's Writing: Gendered Experiences Across Societies and CulturesDiscipline SpecificAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionProvides a critical introduction to global women's writing, examining the literary representation of gendered experiences of societies and cultures across the globe.Semester Added Spring 2015WST 3641* - LGBT and Beyond: Non-Normative Sexualities in Global PerspectiveUCC, Discipline Specific, BothAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionIntroduction to gay and lesbian life in the United States and abroad, focusing on historical antecedants to the contemporary gay and lesbian movement, religion, health issues, lifestyle, and the arts.Semester Added Spring 2012WST 4115 - Gender Violence and the Law: Global PerspectivesDiscipline SpecificAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionCritical analysis of power dynamics generating gender violence across gender, race, and class globally.

While piracy existed since ancient times, it developed with new forms and strategies into a world that finally became global after Europeans reached the New World in the late fifteenth century. Motivated by the riches extracted from the new colonial domains of the Spanish monarchy, other European rulers sponsored seamen to attack and raid Spanish vessels and colonial territories. However, there were many other individuals that embarked in raiding activities without official recognition or sponsorship. Pirates became global entrepreneurs, whose activities shaped political, economic, and social configurations around the globe. While the geographical scope of this course covers the domains of the Spanish monarchy, this expanded over diverse regions within Europe, America, and Asia. Therefore, the study of piracy in the territory comprised by the Spanish monarchy permits a global perspective of this phenomenon.Semester AddedFall 2021WOH4431: Ships, Cargo, and Greed: Material and Cultural Encounters in the Spanish Pacific, 1513-1815Academic DepartmentWST 3015* - Introduction to Global Gender and Women's StudiesUCC, Discipline Specific, BothAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionConsiders the interdisciplinary study of women in today's world.Semester Added Spring 2013WST 3106 - Introduction to Global DiversityDiscipline SpecificAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionEvaluates diversity across the globe in terms of race, ethnicity, religion, culture, gender, age, sexuality, ability, and status to access systems of inequality and privelage.Semester Added Spring 2014WST 3114 - Sex Trafficking: Building SolutionsDiscipline SpecificAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionThis course will provide an overview of all forms of sex trafficking and examine the issue through a historical, theoretical and social justice lens focusing on creating solutions.Semester Added Fall 2018WST 3120 - Global Women's Writing: Gendered Experiences Across Societies and CulturesDiscipline SpecificAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionProvides a critical introduction to global women's writing, examining the literary representation of gendered experiences of societies and cultures across the globe.Semester Added Spring 2015WST 3641* - LGBT and Beyond: Non-Normative Sexualities in Global PerspectiveUCC, Discipline Specific, BothAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionIntroduction to gay and lesbian life in the United States and abroad, focusing on historical antecedants to the contemporary gay and lesbian movement, religion, health issues, lifestyle, and the arts.Semester Added Spring 2012WST 4115 - Gender Violence and the Law: Global PerspectivesDiscipline SpecificAcademic DepartmentWomen's & Gender StudiesDescriptionCritical analysis of power dynamics generating gender violence across gender, race, and class globally.
