Course descriptions:

GLLC-S104-14140/Immigration and Ethnic Identity in the U.S. / Jeff Holdeman / 3 cr. /S&H, Topics, Freshman Only / TR, 1:00-2:15 pm / FQ 012B In this course we will explore ways in which one's culture and identity (traditional and contemporary, from one's homeland and in one's new environment) can manifest themselves in art, music, food, clothing, language, social structure, religion, worldview, etc. We will do this through posing a series of questions: What do people arrive with beyond their physical baggage? What do they choose to keep and discard from their native culture? How do they choose to "perform" or display this to each other and to the outside? Students will learn and discuss core concepts from a variety of fields, things such as language maintenance and shift; boundary construction and negotiation; material culture; generation gap; regional variation; endogamy and exogamy; and acculturation, assimilation, and transculturation. At the core will be the concept of identity and the many forms it can take. Students will also learn basic techniques of urban fieldwork in order to carry out interviews and projects later in the semester. All of these will come together in the process of trying to answer what it means to be "ethnic" in America. Note: This course is joint-listed with COLL-S104-26328 (Honors).

GLLC-G220-25757 | Protest, Violence and Revolution in Afghanistan and Central Asia |Brent Hierman | 3 cr. | S&H, Culture Studies | TR, 11:15-12:30 pm | FQ 012A Prior to the US invasion to overthrow the Taliban in 2001, political and social developments of Afghanistan and Central Asia (understood here as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan as well as the Chinese autonomous region of Xinjiang) were not widely reported in Western media. However, the rise and fall (and apparent revival) of the Taliban is just one example of the forms of political movements that have appeared in this region's recent history. Since the turn of the 20th Century this region has witnessed: Socialist revolutions; a(n apparent) Democratic revolution; Islamic radicalism; ethnic conflict; a prolonged separatist movement; civil wars; and deadly riots. The aim of this multi-discplinary course is understand how these different forms of contention have shaped the contemporary history of this region as well as to project future prospects for contention in the area. Concepts and readings will be drawn from the disciplines of History, Political Science, Sociology and Anthropology. Students are not expected to have any prior knowledge of the region. The course requires students write two short papers and complete a final take home exam. Note: This course is being joint-listed with POLS-Y200.

GLLC-G220-25758 | Global Media, Consumerism and Commercial Nation-Making | Yesim Kaptan | 3 cr. | S&H | TR, 1:00-2:15 pm |FQ 012A The role of mass media and consumer culture in facilitating nation-building and global culture is particularly significant in order to understand the late twentieth century. In the past two decades, scholars have begun to view inherent tensions between the forces of nationalism and the forces of globalization in the production, reception, and circulation of media in the contemporary world. At the same time though, as well as commercial media, consumption as a social practice have become important in defining and promoting global culture and national identities. The goal of this course is to introduce and discuss the images, signs, symbols, commodities, cultural commercial products, and personal and collective identities that emerge and circulate through mundane engagement with commodities and global media forms. In this course, we will analyze connections and tensions between the forces of nationalism and the forces of globalization and explore some of the scholarly literature about the role of the media and consumer culture in those tensions. We will critically problematize the significant ontological concepts-the local, the translocal, the global, and the national-and their usage in the scholarly literature. We also will discuss the social organization of consumption as a key framework for understanding globalization, consumerism and contemporary nationalisms in modern societies. By the end of the semester you will have tools to analyze the intersection of globalization, nationalism, consumer culture, and the media; and how they intervenes in different cultures. As the primary goal of the course you will become familiar the key concepts of global media and consumer culture. NOTE: This course is being joint-listed with CMCL-C204.

GLLC-G320-27450 / Espionage in the 21st Century /Gene Coyle / 3 cr. / S&H / TR, 2:30-3:45 pm /FQ 012B While some aspects of espionage have not changed in centuries, new technologies have changed the way that governments and corporations go about spying. Airborne imagery has progressed from U-2 spy planes to multi-spectrum-imaging satellites that can take pictures at night, through clouds and even through traditional camouflage materials. International communications that were once carried over HF radios now fly around the world in digital packets. Secrets, once stored in safes, are now stored on computers and servers. The creation of ever smaller microchips and power sources has changed the nature of "bugging" offices and tracking individuals. All of this in addition to the fact that before September 11, 2001 much of intelligence work focused more on rivalries between nation-states, such as the U.S. and the Soviet Union, than today when terrorist groups or individual terrorists are the primary targets. The net result has been changes in the methodologies of espionage. We will explore how all these developments are creating enormous challenges for intelligence agencies in the 21st century.

GLLC-G300-29012 | Persian Theatre Workshop |Nasrin Farrokh-Hekmat | 3 cr. | TR, 1: 00 - 2:15 pm | TBA In this seminar we will explore the fascinating and mysterious folkloric origins, and the dual roots of the art of drama in the ancient Persia (Iran): The Passion Plays 'Ta'azieh', and the secular comedies: 'The Black plays', The 'Over the Pond' comedies, and the puppet shows. Then we will also study the essentials of acting, focusing on the preparation for the performance of a one act Persian play, to be premiered in US or at least in this part of the country for the first time. We will study and research the condition of life and the socio-political influences on the creation of our contemporary play, which would be performed twice for the public as the culmination of our workshop. Note: This course is being joint-listed with NELC-N306.

Budapest Semester of Cognitive Science, Budapest, Hungary, Fall 2009

Dear Colleague,

We are working on the promotion of an undergraduate Study Abroad
program, the Budapest Semester of Cognitive Science, abbreviated as
BSCS. The next semester in 2009 will be again very challenging as it
was in the last 5 years. The program description and a flyer are on
our website http://hps.elte.hu/BSCS/

After the successful 5 years of operation within the Philosophy and
History of Science Department (http://hps.elte.hu) of the Eötvös
Loránd University and in the lines of the Hungarian Cognitive Society
(MAKOG) we believe that the initiative relating of the listing of the
BSCS program in your study abroad program collection would be
advantageous for your operation and also for the students, parents and
colleges/universities seeking high quality, academically strong
programs which, in the same time provide the necessary transcript for
credits.

In the past years we had students from various US and European
universities and we continue our efforts in maintaining, broadening
the international aspect of the participants.

The English language BSCS program is proposed for undergraduate
students with majors in psychology, philosophy, biology, linguistics,
anthropology, education, artificial intelligence, IT or media studies.

We would be grateful of your kind support in informing and advising
your undergraduate students about this suggested Study Abroad option.
The interesting stay in a Central European environment of high
cultural and touristic value will certainly be a lifelong experience
for your students.

Of course, in case of you may need further precisions, and additional
information for the faculty and/or the interested academic departments
we are ready to provide you these within short. We would be glad to
have your comments and suggestions, if any.

Best regards

New School of Education Spring 2009 course!

Asian American Mental Health
G580/F401
Instructor: Joel Wong, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, School of Education Spring 2009, Mondays 2:30-5:00pm (This course will also be cross-listed as an Asian American studies
course.)

There are no prerequisites for this combined undergraduate/graduate class; a background in psychology or counseling is not required. This is a survey course that addresses issues of Asian American ethnicity, culture, and race as they relate to mental health. Topics that will be discussed include body image, culture shock, intergenerational family conflicts, cultural influences on mental illnesses, stressors associated with racism and stereotypes, refugee trauma, indigenous healing approaches, etc. The prescribed textbook is *Asian American Psychology: Current Perspectives
*(2009)
by Nita Tewari and Alvin Alvarez. For more information, email the instructor at joelwong@indiana.edu.

The Art of Meditation

"The Art of Meditation" will be offered Spring Term 2009 (second eight weeks only) CLLC-L 100 Class Number 12263 Credit Hours: 2.0 Mondays and Wednesdays 6:50 - 8:20 p.m.
Collins Living-Learning Center Ed Basement
Instructor: Doug Hanvey (dhanvey@indiana.edu)

In this course you will learn the practice of "mindfully allowing what is," the foundational meditation practice of Buddhism. In addition to meditating, you will read, discuss, and write about several core concerns of Eastern philosophy, including the nature of consciousness, reality, time, self, and the ultimate goal of spiritual enlightenment–all via contemporary, Western texts. We will broadly compare Eastern and Western approaches to psychological and spiritual development, asking how Western traditions that aim to strengthen the ego can be reconciled with Eastern traditions that aspire to transcend it.

This will not be an easy "activity" class (or in this case "non-activity" class). While we will meditate regularly and intensively, the discussion component of this class will be emphasized. You might even discover that meditation is more rigorous than you thought it would be, and the philosophical ideas you will learn about may turn your world upside down and inside out (which is also the fun of it). You will explore yourself at the deepest levels of your being and be challenged intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, perhaps even physically. But as a saying goes, "Challenge is a dragon with a gift in its mouth. Tame the dragon and the gift is yours."

An understanding of the basic principles of psychology is helpful, but not required. Grading will be based on participation, reading quizzes, and 1-2 papers.

We are seeking a full time Research Assistant (RA) for two to three years to coordinate research exploring the cognitive basis of interactions between humans and artificial computerized agents. This project is an interdisciplinary collaboration between investigators in the department of Psychology and Human Development (Dan Levin and Megan Saylor) and in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Julie Adams and Gautam Biswas) exploring how people think about the internal processes inherent to a range of living and mechanical agents, and how these cognitions affect interactions with agents in two specific settings: a system for on-line tracking of multiple unmanned robots, and a teachable agent system designed to help grade school students learn biology. Main duties include running human subjects, analyzing data, creating stimuli, setting up experiments, supervising undergraduates and some computer programming (if possible). There are also possibilities for publications and conference presentations. Coursework in psychology and computer science, and behavioral science research experience are highly desirable. Helpful computer skills include strong working knowledge of SPSS, Excel, PowerPoint, Matlab, Psychology lab software (Superlab, Psychophysics toolbox), Photoshop, programming (any language).

Student Radio Station WIUX Seeks Volunteers

Greetings,

I am the student general manager of WIUX 99.1FM (wiux.org). We are seeking volunteers for the fall semester and I was wondering if you could pass along some information to your students on my behalf. Student organizations are a great way for individuals to supplement their experience and learning in the classroom with real-world opportunities.

At IU's student radio station, students can host music, news, talk, or sports shows. In addition the station has multiple committees which can supplement what students in various disciplines are learning in the classroom. Here is a list of our committees at WIUX:

-Business Operations/Underwriting (Great for students seeking sales
experience)

-Programming (Encourages students to utilize organization and problem solving skills)

-Music (Activities include reviewing new music, organizing the WIUX music library, and conducting interviews with musicians)

-Sports (Students are able to engineer or announce broadcasts of 9 different Hoosier sports including Football, basketball, and baseball)

-Promotions (Students can help WIUX reinforce its branding and imaging efforts by organizing and executing creative promotional campaigns)

-News (Students help prepare pieces and announce for a one-hour news program every weeknight)

-Special Events (Students can organize concerts, movie screenings, art shows, and other community events that raise awareness of WIUX and other local organizations)

-Engineering (Students learn about the technical operations of a radio station and help set up PA equipment for WIUX and other student-sponsored events)

-Public Relations (Students prepare and send out press releases, address other media entities, and help build a positive image for our organization and university)

-Production (Create pre-recorded items using audio editing software that helps reinforce the station's image on-air)

-New Media/Web (Students can help maintain wiux.org, the live webstream, podcasts, and all other aspects of WIUX's online presence)

As you can see, there are many opportunities for students to take advantage of at WIUX.

Our informational call-out meeting is Wednesday, September 10 at 8pm in the Radio/TV building room 251. The meeting should not last more than 30-45 minutes and we will let students know how to apply or get involved. Please send any questions to me at: crshank@indiana.edu, or to cshank@wiux.org.

Thanks,
Craig Shank

Course descriptions:

GLLC-G210 Manifestos: Persuading Unbelievers and Inciting Revolutions
(3 cr.) (A&H)
(TR, 2:30-3:45, FQ 012A) (26643) Paul Kanczuzeweski
Usually consisting of relatively few words, the manifesto is a powerful genre that proposes novel ideas, persuades unbelievers and provokes revolutions. This course will investigate both the destructive and constructive qualities of these texts: while they reject and undermine the dominant systems of beliefs, they also propose new philosophies that aspire to establish new ways of thinking. An interdisciplinary approach will be take on this international phenomenon: we will draw on literature, politics, economics, sociology and gender studies to understand these political, literary and social manifestos. Our class will answer questions such as: How did Marx start a revolution? Why did Marinetti want to burn all the libraries? Why does Huidobro make a bird nest on a rainbow? How does S.C.U.M wish to change patriarchic society? Evaluation will include short response papers, class presentations and two exams.

GLLC-G220 Human Rights, Truth and Justice (3 cr.) (S&H) (TR, 9:30-10:45, FQ 012B) (26644) Cesar Seveso
This course explores how societies across the world historically define, enforce, and violate human rights. It also examines how states punish the perpetrators of human rights violations and set the foundations for national reconciliation, truth, and justice. We take as our point of departure the post-World War II years, when the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany led to the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. We will then analyze the way that global processes impact and transform local struggles by examining how the idea of human rights shaped the movement for civil rights in the US South during the 1960s. Next, we will analyze how and why the establishment of dictatorships across Latin America led to the systematic violation of human rights during the 1970s. At the same time, we will start to ponder how democratic governments, empowered by a discourse of human rights, have challenged the rule of authoritarian regimes. Similarly, we will analyze how truth and justice were achieved in post-socialist Eastern Europe, where no such commissions were enacted. Finally, we will tackle the systematic use of torture in Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison and the impact that global, non-governmental actors have in the maintenance and violation of human rights.
Throughout the course, our main goal will be to think how different societies have constructed mechanisms to protect basic rights to which all humans are entitled. At the conceptual level, we will define human rights, explore how the definition has worked across cultures and time, and analyze the impact of new global actors on the international human rights law. On a broader level, this course will introduce students to fundamental categories of analysis and emphasize the relations between theoretical concepts with specific historical examples.

GLLC-G291 Study Abroad: Before You Go (1 cr.) (2nd 8-weeks) (MW, 3:35 - 4:25, FQ 012B) (14213) John Galuska
Consent of Office of Overseas Study.
This 8-week course prepares students for the rewarding educational experience of studying abroad. Taught from an interdisciplinary perspective, the course will stimulate students both to think about and to openly discuss, their primary goals/concerns with overseas study.

What do David Baker, Herbie Hancock, William Grant Still, and James Reese Europe have in common? Their music will be studied in the Art Music of Black Composers class, along with many more names that you may never have heard before.

Need Arts & Humanities distribution credit?

R133 Introduction to Religion, Levene, 29816 Maximum enrollment is 12 students.

This course begins with a single question: What is religion? This question will guide us as we explore some of the range of human behaviors and ideas that can be included in this term. Drawing on scriptures, fiction, poems, philosophies and a variety of other sources from across the globe, we will pursue our question in its three main guises. What is the object of religion (e.g., God, the gods, truth, reality, delusion, escape)? What is its role in culture and history, and connection with things such as economics, politics, the arts? And finally, what are some explanations for it (e.g., it is an expression of group identity, it is an infantile wish for authority, it is a universal human quest to realize the meaning of the cosmos)? The goal will be to become more conscious of the breadth and complexity of a term we all use, to become, then, more fluent in the possibilities it articulates, the boundaries it draws, and the presuppositions it bears.

This course carries Arts and Humanities credit.

New Fall '08 Religious Studies course!

R370 Islam in America, Jaques 29788 05:45P-08:30P T BH 209

American Muslim's have unique histories and belief's even within each ethnic and religious group.

Divergent opinions on issues gender relations and women's issues, debates about Islam' s role in politics, the role of race and ethnicity and the spirituality of American Muslims. This course will also examine the development of Muslim American institutions and Muslim American civil society. Students will also examine the affect of specific events in American history like September 11, 2001 has had on the American Muslim community. Students will have the opportunity to analyze recent polls and academic surveys that have been conducted to determine the nature of the American Muslim community. Specific national organizations that students will be encouraged to explore further will include the Islamic Society of North America, Islamic Circle of North America, the Nation of Islam, the Ministry of Imam W. D. Muhammad, Council on American Islamic Relations, Muslim Public Affairs Council, Muslim Alliance of North America and the Muslim American Society.
