Course Description:
This is an interdisciplinary course that draws upon approaches from anthropology, cultural criminology, feminist theory, queer theory, and legal studies to discuss topics in sexuality and the law. We examine sexuality and its regulation in a range of contexts—legal and illegal, local and global, physically interactive and technologically-mediated. The first book we read frames sexuality studies theoretically, putting the subject in a global context (Altman). Then we read an ethnography by Flowers of the phone sex industry that focuses on the shifting borders between desire and deceit. The third book (Weston) is an ethnography of urban queer experience and identity and how it is conceptualized in social science. Discussion of these books will reveal how the values and experiences we associate with sexuality and the law are shaped by globalized political and economic forces, attendant communication technologies, and cultural expectations and stereotypes. We will maintain a critical double focus on the substance of these topics—the ways of life that these topics invoke--as well as how such topics are re-presented in social science, legal, and mass-mediated discourses. This will provide us with a foundation for discussion of specific kinds and incidents of sex-related crime that students will choose together in class (e.g. date rape, rape as weapon of war, domestic violence, sex trafficking, intentional HIV transmission, etc.). Methodological dilemmas will arise in the context of our conversations. (For example, how do you study activities like sex that are usually done in private?) Creative development of independent research projects is an important component of the course. Films will broaden our sense of international scenes related to sexuality and the law. We will also have guest speakers who can familiarize us with local situations and initiatives.

ASCS Q377, The Art of Meaningful Work
3.0 credit hours
In the 20th century, the illustrious psychologist and concentration camp survivor Viktor Frankl wrote: "The truth is that as the struggle for survival has subsided, the question has emerged - survival for what? Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for." Now, in the rapidly changing world of the 21st century and contemporary issues of economic, social, and environmental concern, most of us would like to find meaning in our work, and the sense that there is a deeper purpose to our lives. Each of us wants to serve the world in our own unique way, and yet it is easy to lose touch, or never really become clear about, what this might mean for us. In this course we will examine the idea that each of us has a "calling" or unique gift to bring into the world. We will ask questions such as, What kind of world do I want to live in? What are the personal gifts that I can bring into my work, and to others? What moves me to want to act? Through experiential and self-reflective individual and group exercises from a variety of perspectives, you will be challenged to deeply explore personal issues of meaning, spirituality, authenticity, purpose, creativity and service. The discussion component of this class will be emphasized, and you will be asked to dig deep in order to help yourself and your peers discover your own authentic way of being in the world of work, and the calling to which you are led.
NOTE: THIS CLASS IS RESERVED FOR JUNIORS AND SENIORS WHO HAVE NOT TAKEN ASCS-Q294.
