Second 8 Weeks Course: 2012 and the Maya

If your students are looking for a Second 8 Weeks course with GenEd and/or CASE S&H credit, they may well be interested in a newly opened section of ANTH-A200, focused on 2012 prophecies and the Maya. Please see below for full details and feel free to contact me or the instructor directly with questions.



2012: THE END OF THE WORLD, MAYA, AND THE NEW AGE

ANTH-A200, Spring 2012, Second 8 Weeks
MW, 5:45 – 8:00 p.m. Sycamore 105
Course carries GenEd and College (CASE) S&H Credit
Professor Quetzil Castañeda
quetzil@osea-cite.org

This course explores the western fascination with “the Maya,” specifically focusing on New Age spiritual appropriations of the Maya and New Age prophesies of a Maya doomsday or apocalypse. Where do these ideas of a Maya prophesy of the end of the world come from? Who believes in this and why? If the end of the world is upon us, why take this course? Why go to school? But, then, if the world is ending, why not?!! Why not: take out a loan, buy a yacht or a pyramid, forfeit on your loans, go hog wild doing all those things you dreamed of but never thought you would do? What does all of this have to do with ethics, belief, morality, and self?

This course brings together several approaches and perspectives in order to better understand our own place in the world today. Participants should note that this course is not an archaeology course or a course on Maya archaeology or Mesoamerican civilization. This is an ethnography course that puts into historical and anthropological perspectives the 2012 phenomena. Briefly, this is the idea that according to New Age interpretations of Anthropological interpretations of Maya interpretations of calendrical interpretations of astronomical phenomena, the world is going to end on the day December 24, in the year of the current Christian calendar two thousand and twelve years “After Death” of Jesus Christ.

One section of the course explores the emergence of new age spiritualism out of heterodox Christianities and medical-health cults in the USA, for example, mesmerism, hydrotherapy, and massage. In this section we learn about new agers’ religious practices, rituals, and beliefs in the USA and in Mexico. We read New Age religious texts by José Argüelles, Hunbatz Men, and Major Jenkins, among others. A second section provides students with basic knowledge about Maya beliefs and practices related to calendars, astronomy, notions of history and prophesy, and health-healing. We read selections from colonial period Maya books such as the Chilam Balam and the Popol Vuh as well as contemporary ethnographies of Maya culture. A third brief section uses comparative sources from throughout the Americas to learn how the Indian has been exoticized by European-culture descendants as a figure of redemption and salvation. We read ethnographies about shamanic use of hallucinogenic drugs for spiritual healing. We will also have recourse to numerous films.

Summer internship at Johns Hopkins

Applications are now being accepted for the 2012 Johns Hopkins University Laboratory for Child Development’s annual Summer Internship Program. Summer interns will receive close mentorship by faculty, post docs, and graduate students, and learn all aspects of cognitive development research. Under the direction of Drs. Lisa Feigenson and Justin Halberda, the Lab is currently investigating a range of issues including memory development, numerical abilities, logical reasoning, and language acquisition, in populations including young infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and adults.

Summer interns participate fully in all aspects of research, including recruiting participants, testing infants and children in behavioral tasks, coding children’s testing sessions, analyzing data, and interpreting results. Interns also participate in guided readings of developmental literature, and attend laboratory meetings in which we discuss ongoing projects or current issues in the field of cognitive development. Students will work primarily in the Psychological & Brain Sciences building of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore Maryland, and may also work at our testing site at the Maryland Science Center at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
2012 will be the 8th year of our annual summer program, which has been enormously successful in instilling students with a love of basic research, preparing them for graduate study, and forming friendships that last well beyond the duration of the program.

Summer interns have daily contact with children and their parents, and as such must be mature, articulate, and comfortable communicating with others. Successful candidates will also be able to demonstrate enthusiasm for the research being conducted, a strong work ethic, and an excellent academic record. Desirable background experience includes coursework in developmental and experimental psychology, basic computer skills, an ability to work in a highly collaborative, team-oriented environment, and some previous research experience.

The 2012 Program will begin on Tuesday, May 29 and will end on Tuesday, July 31, and will be full-time (roughly 9AM to 5PM). Interns will receive either course credit or a stipend (range: $1000 -$1500).

To apply, please send a completed application (available on the lab website), cover letter explaining your interest in and qualifications for the position, unofficial transcript, and two letters of recommendation to:

Chance to Make a Difference in a Child's Life

Hello,
My name is Monte Simonton and I run the after school program at Middle Way House The Rise. We serve children between the ages of 3-19 years old who have come from domestic violence, homeless, and poverty situations. We have several volunteer options and a service learning course that we need more volunteers for. Each of them are described below.

L100: *** We still have 8 spots left.
Every year we collaborate with a service learning course (CLLC-L100, 20208) to provide the children with a Spring Break Camp. The class meets Feb 29th, March 7th, and March 21st from 6:00-8:30 p.m. and includes meeting the week of Spring Break from 8:30-5 p.m. The first two classes the students will get a foundation on the effects of domestic violence on children. They will learn about Middle Way House and about what we will doing with the children over spring break. During spring break we will spend Mon-Fri 8:30-5 with the children. We will go to the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis, the Exotic Feline Rescue Center,The Indianapolis Zoo, and Wonder Lab. We will go to a Chemistry Magic show, go swimming, and have live animals brought in by the Humane Society for some educational programs and two animal rescue programs. It is a really fun week that allows students to make a difference in a child’s life over Spring Break.

Mentoring:
We currently need 25 men and 10 women to be mentors to the children in our program. We pair IU students with a child of the same gender for a year commitment as a mentor. The mentor must spend an average of 3 hours a week with the child, not counting winter, summer, or spring breaks. Some of our boys have been waiting close to a year to get mentors, because we have not had that many male applicants. We have a large number of female children who have recently moved and also need mentors. Mentoring is one of the easiest ways to make a difference in a child’s life. Just by hanging around them and incorporating them into your life, you can make a major difference in their lives. We ask that the mentor activities be done on the weekend. Please contact Monte Simonton at msimonto@hotmail.com for more information.

Tutoring;
We tutor children between the ages of 4-18 with their homework. We do tutoring Mon-Fri from 5:30-7:00 p.m. We need help with tutoring children in all grades. We could also use help in developing assignments for children to do when they do not have homework that would increase their literacy and math levels. We are tutoring about 30 children a day and need more volunteers. We in particular need more tutors on Fridays. Please contact Monte Simonton at msimonto@hotmail.com for more information.

New Nursing resources

Hello everyone,

I often meet with students interested in first earning a non-nursing degree at IUB, and then going on to earn a second degree Bachelor of Science in Nursing elsewhere.

If you have students interested in learning more about the Nursing profession, feel free to direct them to http://hpplc.indiana.edu/ohp/ohp-n.shtml#explore. I've added a link which unearths an amazing list of resources on the Indiana Center for Nursing's new webpage (formerly Nursing2000inc.org). Shadowing of nurses can be difficult to arrange, so this list provides an additional way of researching the profession.

Also note that we recently revamped the section on contingency planning, which now includes a detailed but pretty straightforward description of the various routes a person might take to earning their RN: http://hpplc.indiana.edu/ohp/ohp-n.shtml#PLANAB

Finally, the site also includes links to lists of all accredited U.S. nursing programs http://hpplc.indiana.edu/ohp/ohp-n.shtml#a4. Other parts of the site have also been revised recently.

Best,
Eric
