Getting around your new home East Campus
The United States shares land borders with only two countries; a 5,525-mile border with Canada and a 1,969-mile border with Mexico. While historically our borders have been easy to cross and often barely visible – in one Vermont town the border runs through the center of the public library – our conceptions of what we expect from them changed dramatically after 9/11. This course will look at the history of how the U.S. established borders with its North American neighbors, how border management has changed in recent years, and how this has impacted our security and reputation for openness. The instructor, a 28-year veteran of the U.S. Foreign Service, has visited vast sections of the U.S. border by car, on foot and in the air during assignments in Canada and Mexico. The course will also include guest lecturers from the Department of Homeland Security and State Department, roleplaying by students of U.S. Consular Officers making decisions on issuing a visa, and video teleconferences with residents from the Borderlands. Students will be evaluated through oral briefings, short policy memos, class participation and a final exam.

Try Something New This Fall! WST 150S.01 TOPICS: Feminist Art from the 1970s - Kimberly Lamm, TTH 11:40 AM – 12:55 PM What is feminist art? How is feminist art defined, practiced, and theorized? What are its connections to and distinctions from direct political engagement? How and why does it engage with visual culture? This course will pursue these questions by focusing on the Nasher Museum’s exhibition The Deconstructing Impulse: Women Artists Reconfigure the Signs of Power, 1973-1991, which runs parallel with our course. The Deconstructing Impulse gives us a wonderful opportunity to analyze feminism’s multiple appearances in contemporary art and visual culture, and in turn, examine the role visual culture plays in the production of gender, race, sexuality, and class.
WST 160S Feminism in Historical Context – Stephanie Gilmore, TTH 10:05 – 11:20 AM This course is a comprehensive introduction to feminist theoretical conceptions of the social, political, economic, and the human. During the semester students will explore the rise of gender based discourses and social movements in the context of broader considerations of modernity, democracy, and liberal humanism and the value of rights discourse for feminist agendas. It will also include a comparative dimension that emphasizes cross cultural and historical analysis.
WST 164S Race, Gender and Sexuality – Miles Grier, TTH 10:05 – 11:20 AM This course explores the work of ideas about family, nation, and economic relations in shaping life in England’s Atlantic zone of influence from the Elizabethan period to the turn of the twentieth century. Although remembered as a period that loosened the authority of Church and monarch over individuals, the Age of Revolutions also fostered gender, race, and sexuality as categories determining the essential qualities and social utility of individuals. This course follows the maneuvers of a range of rebels and subtle impersonators who used bald resistance and feigned submission to enjoy liberties denied to them. We will imaginatively reconstruct scenes involving theatrical players, passing women, runaway slaves, students, anticolonial rebels and others navigating the terrain of gender, race, and sexuality in the world linked by the Atlantic economy.
WST 167S Feminist Ethics - Kathy Rudy, MW 2:50 – 4:05 PM This course examines and critiques various strands of feminist ethics broadly thought of as the care tradition. Most prominent in the 1970’s through early 90’s, the feminist care tradition argued that women had unique ways of knowing and understanding morality. Based in biological differences many argued that a new feminist ethics could be rooted in the emotional and affective work that women performed in society. The care tradition fell out of favor among most feminists beginning in the early 1990’s but key concepts and dichotomies haunt many realms of thinking today. From postmodern ethics to sociobiology to ecology and conservation, today’s debates pit reason against emotion, selfishness against altruism, and independence against connection. These dualisms demand that we revisit the care tradition and rediscover early feminist insights (and limitations) for contemporary conversations.

Best Place to Have a Social Meal
The Refectory
The Loop
From its famed oatmeal in the morning to servings of Indian Dal and meatball spaghetti in the afternoon, the Refectory has many offerings for vegans and meat-lovers alike. Located in the Divinity School, the Refectory is a great spot for a quick, healthy lunch date with a current flame or a group of friends. It serves up home-cooked meals just like those your mom wishes you were eating instead of cold pizza and garlic bread. The Refectory is also the place to go for the ultimate comfort meal—the eatery serves delicious buttery grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup daily. It also offers a variety of ice cold drinks that can cure any summer fever. There are really no options to avoid at this organic, homey eatery. But if you’re watching your weight, try to stay away from the extensive collection of treats, which include blueberry cheesecake, jumbo brownies and slices of pecan pie (Warning: few have succeeded in their attempts).
Conveniently located at the end of the West Union Building, The Loop is a prime location for grabbing a bite between classes on West Campus. The selection of freshly made wraps and sandwiches ranges from bacon cheeseburgers to ahi tuna. A classic chicken caesar salad is also a must. Watch out, however, for long lines during the lunch hour and slower prep time than typical fast food. One of the most popular dining establishments on campus, The Loop is a place to see and be seen. In fact, if you run into fewer than 10 acquaintances on your trip for some warm bleu cheese chips (an absolute treat), you are probably missing an event with free food. Aside from awkward encounters with former hook-ups, the atmosphere is also perfect for chatting about your day and plans for the night with the friends you came with. So grab a bowl of thick tomato bisque and enjoy some people watching on the plaza with a delicious, hearty meal.

Best Late-Night Study Run
McDonald’s This 24-hour late-night staple will help put back all the calories you burned from a hard night of cramming—and then some. While some opt for a bucket of chicken nuggets, others prefer a soft-serve vanilla cone that is sure to cure any sweet craving. Either way, you are sure to greet one of your Econ classmates doing the same. With so few eateries on campus open in the wee hours of the morning, starving study buddies may make a late McFlurry run. McDonald’s also offers a few healthy options include apple slices and skim milk—which, if you are brave enough to order—can save you the stomachache the morning after. Although ordering a Big Mac at 3 a.m. is no one’s proudest moment, it will provide some much-needed satisfaction for those study break hunger pains. We may hate to admit it, but some days you just need some greasy, obnoxiously salty french fries.

Best Place to Meet a Prattie
Twinnie’s Located at the crossroads between Trinity and Pratt, Twinnie’s brings the best of both worlds together. English and biomedical engineering majors may not share the same academic passions, but they both share a hankering for fresh tuna salad wraps and Starbucks coffee. As the only campus eatery that serves Starbucks, be sure to arrive here before the lunchtime crunch, or be prepared to wait in a long line. So for a mid-day trip before science class or a meeting with your engineering professor, Twinnie’s is the perfect atmosphere to mitigate the stress induced by a tough exam. Whether you need to get your hands on that first cup of java or simply need to grab
Best Place to Eat on the Run
Alpine Bagels Sure, the winding line during brunch hours resembles a queue for a Disney ride. But for many students, the staple morning bagel is well worth the wait. For just a small bit of dough—pun intended—you get a full, portable breakfast, lunch or snack that will keep you full for the walks across campus. In the morning, customers stand in line for their banana walnut bagel with honey raisin cream cheese or a Rise-n-Shine, the classic bagel with an egg combo. Others head toward the front of the West Union Building to get their fro-yo fix. In addition to bagels and lunch meat sandwiches, Alpine Bagels serves up its ever-popular light treat in a rotating selection of flavors and
with an array of toppings. This campus eatery also offers several healthy wraps including the famous Presidential Pardon—with sliced turkey, roasted peppers and a special tangy sauce. For those with big appetites, opt for the Butch’s “Mile High” Club which features turkey, bacon, lettuce and crunchy veggies. If you’re vegetarian, be sure to check out one of the salads with blue cheese, walnuts and dried cranberries. Although the restaurant’s signature bagels do not come close to those students from New York and New Jersey may be familiar with, they are still filling and are a satisfying alternative to a sit-down meal when you’re on the run.
some grub before the 15 minute walk back to the real West Campus, Twinnie’s is a great stop to rest your feet. Don’t forget to grab a sweet treat after your meal to raise your Chemistry grade or simply have a provision to hold you over until you reach the Chapel. Those over 21 can even grab a free beer on Friday afternoons. And don’t forget to check out the daily specials at Twinnie’s like spaghetti and meatballs and tortellini pasta. The soups—like creamy tomato and chicken noodle—are sure to warm up any cold day. So if you’re in desperate need of caffeine or a good meal—and want to meet the Prattie next door—stop at Twinnie’s and be delightfully surprised.
Best Place to Dine Like an Adult
Plate and Pitchfork Although the service is notoriously slow and a steak may occasionally appear on your plate in place of salmon, Plate and Pitchfork is the best way to escape from the monotony of campus dining while staying just a short walk from your dorm room. The Faculty Commons is open for lunch with faculty and Plate and Pitchfork is open for dinner, making either meal a break from the hectic nature of an on-campus lifestyle. While dining among friends, faculty and staff members, you can chomp
on some juicy salmon with ripe asparagus and fluffy whipped potatoes discussing everything from Shooters nights to the Thoreau reading for your English class. Or, opt for a select vegetarian entree of the day and greet your favorite professor who just ordered the same. Whatever you do, make sure you have enough time and good conversation to wine and dine with friends until the food comes— hopefully to the correct table. But a bite into your food may just make you forget the wait.

Discovering Durham The Best Meal on Your Parent$
The Best Place to Write a Paper
Magnolia Grill
Mad Hatter’s
This upscale eatery would do you in for the semester if it was on food points. But when Mom and Dad are in town for Parents’ Weekend and you’re looking for the perfect venue in which to gloss over your grade in Econ 51, there’s no place like the Magnolia Grill, just off East Campus. Although the restaurant’s unadorned place settings and dim lighting are far from flashy, make no
mistake: You’re a long way from the Marketplace. The Magnolia Grill was named the 11th best restaurant in the country by Gourmet magazine, and for good reason. Intimidating fare like “octopus salami� is on the menu, but have no fear: You’ll find yourself savoring every bite of exotic dishes you wouldn’t have touched with a 10-foot pole before you became a worldly college student.
When you wake up on a Sunday afternoon and remember that Writing 20 paper due tomorrow, don’t bury yourself in an isolated Perkins cubicle. Instead, comfort yourself with a cookie large enough to feed the starting lineup of the Duke men’s basketball team. The decadent concoctions come in just about every mold and color you can imagine, and you can’t go wrong with a slice of anything out of the cake case. Best of all, the bakery is equipped with free wireless Internet access so you can surf the Web for pictures from last night—I mean, research. The price of these sweet treats is steep, but there’s nothing to ease the pain of impressing your professor like a grande iced coffee and a chocolate chip cookie the size of your face.

Dzau specializes in cardiovascular disease and is the former chair of the Department of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
some difficult situations upon his arrival in Durham, including the wooing of Coach K by the L.A. Lakers. His most challenging task has been weathering the intense scrutiny fixed on Duke in the wake of the lacrosse case, as many observers have criticized his handling of the affair. But Brodhead’s administration achieved a major goal in recent years with the completion of the $300 million Financial Aid Initiative.
Tallman Trask, executive vice president Trask oversees all aspects of the University except for academics.
