HHC Symposium & Research Fair

the 2010 Annual IUB Undergraduate
Symposium and Research Fair
April 10th, 9:00-5:00

Deadline for abstracts & proposals March 1st, 2010
Submit to Assistant Dean, Lynn Cochran (lcochran@indiana.edu)

The Hutton Honors College invites proposals and abstracts for our annual symposium and research fair. The symposium is to be held on Saturday, April 10th, in the new Hutton Honors College building (811 East 7th Street) from 9-5. Students who choose to present papers at the symposium will be asked to speak for ten minutes on their work, with a five minute Q&A to follow. Each presenter will be included on a panel of students working in a similar field of study. Last year the topics included sociology, international issues, science, psychology, health care, and arts and humanities. Every year the topics vary somewhat according to the abstracts submitted. A schedule of sessions will be forthcoming in March. The poster fair will also be held on Saturday, April 10th. Students are invited to present both a paper and/or poster; presentations of both a paper and poster are especially welcome. All IU undergraduates are invited to participate in these two events, and all IU faculty and students will be invited to attend. The Hutton Honors College will hold workshops for students who would like to know more about paper or poster presentations.

Whether you choose to present a paper at the symposium or a poster at the fair, or would like to participate in both events, we welcome one page abstracts by March 1st. Please be sure to indicate whether you are interested in presenting a paper and/or a poster. If you choose to participate in both events, you will just submit one abstract. Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you will be submitting an abstract this year and we will send you an abstract template to make your submission easier. Also, be sure you have a faculty mentor for your project, as they will be asked to sign off on your abstract.

The symposium and fair are open to all disciplines, including (but not limited to): visual and performing arts, humanities, social and behavioral sciences, public affairs, natural and physical sciences, mathematics, business and economics, education, and nursing. This is a great opportunity to let others see the valuable work you have accomplished during the past year, and to see what other students in a variety of fields are exploring here at IU. It is also a great chance for you to perfect your presentation skills and receive valuable feedback from faculty and interested colleagues. Don’t miss this opportunity for professional experience!

We look forward to hearing from you, and more importantly, to seeing the results of your efforts!

Asian American Studies (culture studies) Courses spring 2010

There are still seats available in the following Spring 2010 Asian American Studies courses. All carry College of Arts and Sciences Culture Studies credit:

AAST-A300 Topics in Asian American Studies (3 cr.) (CSA)
Topic: Social Problems in the Health and Wellbeing of Asian America
Instructor: Professor Fernando Ona
Section: 29654
TR 1-2:15 p.m. ME 008
This course serves as part of the Asian American Studies minor, and as such it presents the major themes and issues in a new and growing interdisciplinary field of scholarly research and cultural production. The primary objective of the course is to engage students with selected aspects of the emerging canon of scholarly literature in Asian American Studies, specifically social and health problems that face Asian America. This class will critically examine the nature and characteristics of social problems in health and well being that Asian Americans experience and engage with theoretical frameworks for understanding such social problems. The course will review potential solutions to these issues and discuss current approaches to public health interventions that attempt to address these challenges. An empirical overview of health disparities and social injustices that face Asian America will be examined using case studies (i.e. health inequities regarding access to health care, statistical “insignificance” of Asian populations in the United States, poverty in Asian America, cultural competency in health, disease stigma, mental health, STIs/HIV, infectious and chronic diseases.

This course will also provide many opportunities for students to link personal experiences to the larger collective facts of “Asian America,” from the local to the global. Additionally, a service-research project to examine the experience of Asian Americans in the Midwest will take place during the semester. This will provide students with the opportunity to conduct a mini-research project that attempt to address social and health problems that Asian Americans experience. Students will be required to participate in analyzing and writing reseatch data into a potential peer-review publication to be submitted at the end of the semester. The course will shed light not only on the multi-faceted nature of the Asian American experience, but also on the conflicting and simultaneous trends within the field of Asian American Studies.

AAST-A300 Topics in Asian American Studies (3 cr.) (CSA)
Topic: Playing with Difference: Popular Cultures of Asia in America
Instructor: Karen Inouye
Section: 30920
TR 11:15a-12:30p BH233
This course examines how and why Asian cultures have become so prevalent in American popular culture. Topics include Hong Kong cinema, anime, so-called fusion cuisine, video games, martial arts, and yoga. This course is joint listed with AMST A350.

SOC S342 Asian American Communities and Identities (3 cr.) (CSA) (S & H)
Instructor: Jennifer Lee
TR 2:30P-03:45P BH 330
This course takes a sociological approach to examine the histories, experiences, and cultures that shape Asian American communities and identities. Using materials from academic articles and books, as well as popular films and novels, students will first review the history of Asian Americans in the United States in order to situate the Asian American experience within broader social and historical contexts and to highlight the diversity of Asian American communities and families. Then, students will examine the experiences of second and higher generation Asian Americans in order to address questions about who is viewed as American and how Asian Americans establish and maintain their ethnic identities. For one of the papers, students will get the option of writing something creative, perhaps a short story or a poem or two. Students will create their own Asian American literature!

New Spring 2010 Journalism Course for Non-majors: What The News Won’t Tell You

JOUR-C 201, 29520, 11:15 am -12:30 pm, T R, EP 220. Professor Michael Evans

Topic: What The News Won’t Tell You

What the News Won’t Tell You
A course in media literacy

What the News Won’t Tell You will help you develop basic skills in media literacy. Americans are bombarded with media messages that have been carefully crafted, honed, and delivered. This course will help students understand the intentions behind those messages and the techniques used to make them effective.

The course is not intended for Journalism majors, but rather intended to help other students on campus learn to detect, decode, and understand the kinds of messages being placed before them throughout every day of their lives.
• Advertising (for example: why are TV commercials so annoying?)
• Public Relations (how do companies get themselves on the news?)
• Product Placement (why does Tine Fey drink Snapple?)
• News Values (how do editors decide what news to run?)
• The Entertainment Industry (how are the Oscar-winners really chosen?)
• The Media and Body Image (Kate Moss: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”)
• Talk Radio (Obnoxious and successful)
• and others.
What the News Won’t Tell You is being taught by award-winning instructor Michael Evans, who also is an Associate Dean at the School of Journalism.

Final Themester 2009 lecture

Lecture: Friday, December 4, at 4:00 p.m. in Whittenberger Auditorium, IMU

Speaker: Judge John E. Jones III

Topic: "Judicial Independence and the Pennsylvania Case of Intelligent Design
in the Public Schools”

Judge Jones is perhaps best known by many for presiding over the 2005 landmark case of Kitzmiller v. Dover School District, after which he held that it was unconstitutional to teach intelligent design within a public school science curriculum.

Below is a small excerpt from his biographical sketch:
"In 2003 Judge Jones struck down portions of Shippensburg University’s speech code on the basis that they violated the First Amendment’s free speech guarantee. In that same year Judge Jones ruled, in a decision later affirmed by the United States Supreme Court, that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s statute assessing milk producers in order to fund advertising, including the Milk Mustache/got milk® campaign did not infringe the free speech rights of the producers. In 2005 Judge Jones presided over the landmark case of Kitzmiller v. Dover School District, after which he held that it was unconstitutional to teach intelligent design within a public school science curriculum. In 2006 he ruled that the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s ballot access procedures for minor political parties did not violate the Constitution.

In 2007 Judge Jones and the Kitzmiller case were featured in the two-hour Nova special “Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial,” televised nationally by PBS. In April 2008 “Judgment Day” won a Peabody Award, which is the oldest and most distinguished honor in electronic media. Judge Jones has also appeared as a guest on national television shows such as Today on NBC, the NewsHour on PBS, and C-SPAN’s America & The Courts."

We are honored to have Judge Jones on the IU campus to help us conclude our inaugural Themester of “Evolution, Diversity and Change”.
