GLLC-G220 (29824) Music and Medicine (3 cr.) (S&H)
(TR, 11:15-12:35, FQ012A) David Lewis
This class we will examine the ways in which music is embedded in medical systems around topics as diverse as religious healing, drug use, end-of-life care, genocide, autism, and HIV/AIDS. Each case study will include perspectives from a number of fields, including, biomedicine, ethnomusicology, anthropology, Western musicology, public health, and music therapy. In addition, the case studies will take us as far away as Malawi and Malaysia, while also including music-making from within the United States. This class will examine these case studies against larger questions of efficacy in cross-cultural applications of musical therapies as well as the ways in which theoretical and disciplinary orientation affect the scope and aims of medical and musical research.
GLLC-G220 (30097) Avon Ladies in the Amazon?: Gender in Economic Development Around the World ( 3 cr.) (S&H)
(TR, 2:30-3:45 pm, FQ012A) Jessica Chelekis
Did you know that there are Avon salespeople in Amazonian communities and African villages? Why would people who have no electricity buy make-up and perfume? In fact, economists, political scientists, sociologists and anthropologists have placed increasing importance on small and micro-businesses as engines of economic development and tools for women’s empowerment in developing countries. This course aims to teach students not only about economic anthropology, but how to apply this sub-discipline to real-world issues and public policy by focusing on a major trend around the world.
GLLC-G291 (17149) Study Abroad: Before You Go (1 cr.) (2nd 8 weeks)
(MW, 2:30-3:45 pm, FQ 012B) Trent Engbers
This 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. NOTE: Consent of Office of the Overseas Study required.
GLLC-G491 (30863) Study Abroad: When You Return (1 cr.) (1st 8 weeks)
(MW, 2:30-3:45 pm, FQ 012A) Trent Engbers
This first 8-week course provides students returning from overseas study with practical advice on how their international experiences can be utilized for future educational and professional pursuits. The class will focus on the completion of an individualized "overseas studies portfolio poster" that enables students to do two things: process the emotional, experiential, and academic dimensions of the program they participated in; and compile and create a portfolio document that can be used to support ongoing educational and professional pursuits. NOTE: Consent of Office of the Overseas Study required.

The 2010 B Movie Celebration
September 24th, 25th and 26th
Franklin , Indiana
www.bmoviecelebration.com
Once again, the curtain goes up in Franklin, IN as The 2010 B-Movie Celebration comes to town for three days of cinematic thrills and chills. The celebration takes place on September 24, 25 and 26. During that time, over 50 films will be shown spanning the whole history of the B-movie from the exploitation pioneers of the 1930s to the low-budget monster epics of the 50s, 60s and 70s on through to today’s kings of micro-cinema.
What exactly is a B-movie? A B-movie is a film produced aside from the big budget, more prestigious A-list offerings from Hollywood. Often confined to the horror and sci-fi genres, B-movies can also include westerns and film noirs as well. The B-Movie Celebration is designed to magnify the achievements of past B-movie filmmakers while heralding the breed of independent, low-budget B-mavericks. In short, the past, present and future are all present and accounted for here.
This year, we are pleased to honor three Midwestern pioneers of B-movie magic: presenter Kroger Babb, presenter/producer K. Gordon Murray and director/screenwriter William Girdler. Several of the works of these three mavericks will be shown and their memories will be honored with tributes.
But showing movies isn’t all we do. The B-Movie Celebration will also have informative seminars involving various aspects of filmmaking from screenwriting to producing and directing. A smattering of guests will be on hand to give their insight on the filmmaking process. This year, the guests will include legendary B-movie director Bert I. Gordon, Troma films president Lloyd Kaufman, prolific director Jim Wynorski, low-budget horror maverick Jim O’Rear and many others. Also, the Golden Cob Awards, which have already been announced, will be handed out and many of the recipients will be on hand to receive their trophies.
The movies themselves will be shown at several different venues, including the Artcraft Theatre, The Canary Creek Cinemas and the Canary Creek Drive In. This year’s B-Movie Celebration promises to be just a whole lot of fun and we hope you can join us.
