Need an Intensive Writing Class for Fall? Consider HIST-J 300 RACE, HEALTH, AND DISEASE

ADDED CLASS FOR FALL 2013 – HIST-J 300 # 33599

 

RACE, HEALTH, AND DISEASE

5:30-6:45 pm, TR  BH 236

Meets College Intensive Writing Requirement and College (CASE) S & H Breadth of Inquiry Credit

 

Instructor:  Nicole Ivy, Visiting Postdoc, IU Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society

 

 

This course examines how national ideas about race, health and disease have concurrently informed and been shaped by practices of enslavement and incarceration in the U.S. and the Caribbean. It thinks through the ways that “blackness” has been historically medicalized—as diseased, as a disease itself—and also seriously considers the legacies of racialized health discourse and health care administration in former slave societies.

 

Using an interdisciplinary approach, the seminar seeks to tease out the relationships between the figures of the captive, the slave, and the citizen. It explores how all of these are understood in relation to the “national body.” Of the many questions this exploration necessarily raises, this course is explicitly interested in the following: How was race marked out on the body? How did it affect the ways in which black people experienced health care? How have black people positioned themselves vis-à-vis institutionalized forms of medicine? How have African-American and African-Diasporic subjects sought to emphasize their own practices of embodiment over and against official medical discourses? We will pay particular attention to how black people have responded to the anatomization of their racialized bodies.

Looking for a Summer Class? Consider CMCL-C 340 Claiming Citizenship and Changing America

CMCL-C 340 Rhetoric of Social Movements
TOPIC :  Claiming Citizenship and Changing America
                COLL (CASE) A&H Breadth of Inquiry credit

Class Number: 14485 (First Six Week Session)
MTuWTh, 3:00 PM-4:50 PM, C2 203

Instructor: Cortney Smith
E-Mail: colasmit@indiana.edu
Office: C2 275
Phone: 855-6405

This undergraduate course on social movements will focus on the rhetorical strategies used by social protestors to reclaim citizenship.  What does it mean to be a citizen?  How does a social movement gain traction?  For example, how did 20th century movements of the disenfranchised, such as the Civil Rights Movement or Women's Suffrage, gain a voice and eventually enact change?  How might marginalized groups enter in the public realm to persuade while not giving up their integrity and identity?  How does persuasion affect social change?  These are all questions we will be considering throughout the semester.  In this course, students will engage primary rhetorical documents of major American social movements of the 20th and 21st centuries.  Students will analyze the rhetorical foundation of social movements and how texts produced by social protestors are consumed, critiqued, and disseminated.  The selected readings (mostly articles from contemporary rhetoric journals) have been chosen to help the class define social movement, explain its development, and look at specific rhetorical strategies deployed. 

Students will be evaluated based upon their participation in class discussion, weekly assignments, and a semester project in which he/she analyzes a particular social movement in-depth.   By the end of the course, students should be familiar with several specific social movements and have a better understanding of the rhetorical construction of social protest.

Need an N&M? Consider LING-L 203 Introduction to Linguistic Analysis

Linguistics L203 is a basic-level introduction to linguistic science, where we get into how to figure out the structure of languages by trying to construct models of the languages.  The class generally has two parts, one which looks at how languages harness the acoustics of human sounds to encode people's intentions.  The second part looks at how to understand grammatical structures by building models which create sentences.  This class was formerly numbered L303, but has been renumbered, since it acts as a good entry into our more focused 300-level classes. Since the class works with the scientific modeling process, it carries campus-wide distribution requirement for natural and mathematical sciences.  It's an excellent choice particularly for students with an interest in languages.

STAT S201 – NETWORKS 2.0: Quantitative Literacy

 

Prerequisite: STAT-S 100 (or any introductory statistics course) or permission of instructor

 

****THIS COURSE DOES NOT CARRY GenEd OR CASE N&M CREDIT****

 

5:45-7:00pm Tuesday/Thursday PY 228

 

What do you think it would look like if you put all your Facebook

friends on a big piece of paper and drew lines connecting everyone

who was *your* friend with everyone who was also your boyfriend’s

or your girlfriend's friends?

 

Then, what if, on this same piece of paper, you connected everyone who was a

friend of your friends?  Where and how would you place them on this big piece

of paper? Are there distinct groups of people who are friends with each other?

Are there people in your social circles who have few friends in common with you?

 

In the field of network science we call these kinds of relationships “networks.” 

In this class you will use your own Facebook data to learn how to answer

these and other interesting questions about your social networks. For example: what

characteristics ("likes" in FB terms) are common among your friends in one group but

not another?  which group do you have more connections with?  do all your friends

tend to "like" the same things as you? as each other?  are you similar to your friends’

friends or are you connected to them simply because you have friends in common? 

are your male friendships connected differently than your female friendships? 

Join us in Networks 2.0 as we explore these and other network-related topics.
