**JOUR-C201: Hot topics in journalism. Does not count in Journalism degree, for non-majors. 2nd 8 week course. 3 credits.


1. TWO CLASSES: TOPIC "HOT TOPICS"

A. Class 8892 6-8 pm, MW, Woodburn 100, Lindita Camaj

B. Class 13493 9:30-10:45 am, TR, Ernie Pyle Hall Room, Prof. Teresa White.

Description for both classes: (cr. 3)
Do the media occupy a “hot” space in audiences’ everyday lives? Without the media, how do we come to know the “who, what, where, when, and why” of newsworthy people and controversies in politics, economics, and entertainment?
The colorful images and words of newspapers, television news and online journalism have created a shared media culture with audiences across the world. Many people encounter the media in airports, cafes, classrooms, living rooms, gyms and in their cars. In the United States, it has become increasingly difficult to avoid or escape media. In this course, we will go behind the curtains of online information, newspaper pages, and television screens to gain a better understanding of how media shape the reality that we sometimes take for granted. This includes media coverage of war, politics and sports, and issues such as media privacy and bias.

More about the instructors:
Professor Teresa White completed her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at IU. Most recently, she taught English and journalism at Noblesville High School, where she also was publications adviser. She is also the Director of the High School Journalism Institute at IUB.

Lindita Camaj is a PhD student in Journalism. She recently travelled to the Balkans to work on her research, which investigates the role of mass media in the democratization processes in transitional societies. She will conduct surveys, talk to focus groups and conduct content analyses that aim at understanding how newly-established free media institutions affect political culture in this region.


2. JOUR-C201 Topics in Journalism: Sports Journalism. 5:45-7:45 pm, MW, EP 220, Betsy Ross.

Description: (cr. 3)
Sports Journalism will take a look at the history of covering sports, from the “'golden age” of sports writing to today. Special emphasis will be placed on the evolution of ESPN and similar sports networks and how sports coverage changed from highlight clips to half hour shows. The class also will cover 'new media' coverage of sports on the web and on social media sites and the development of 'bloggers' and other web-based writers as accredited media.

More about the instructor: Betsy Ross, the president and founder of Fame Day Communications, with more than 20 years of experience as a sports and news anchor. As one of the first women to break into national sports news, she recently worked as an anchor at ESPN for five years. Her new book is “Playing Ball with the Boys,” a compilation of interviews she has conducted with women sports pioneers such as Billie Jean King, Janet Guthrie and Lesley Visser.


3. JOUR-C201 Topics in Journalism: Sexual Orientation in the News. 5:45-7:45 pm, MW, EP 205. Zak Szymanski.
Description: (cr. 3)
News coverage of sexual orientation has been reduced to a few narrow issues, including gay marriage, the military, and hate crimes. Much of this coverage ignores the history and nuances of these debates and excludes large segments of the LGBT community. Utilizing a mix of mainstream and gay media along with prominent guest speakers, this course will examine: How are sexual minorities portrayed in the news? What is the evolution of sexual orientation in the news? Who determines what a ‘gay’ issue is, and how does that shape public opinion? Topics range from media “outings” to the desexualization of gay spokespeople to the emerging queer youth activist. The goal is to gain a greater understanding of complex issues and the relationship between sexual minorities and the media.

More about the instructor: As a journalist in New York and San Francisco, Zak Szymanski covered politics--mainly focused on law/legislation, community organizing, minority and LGBT communities, and activism/advocacy circles---for more than 10 years. He served as assistant editor at the Bay Area Reporter from 1999-2006, where he was also an award-winning reporter. Now living in Bloomington, he continues to freelance locally and nationally for a variety of media outlets.

Interesting Course for Spring: REL-B420 Topics in Hindu Religious Traditions

REL-B420 Topics in Hindu Religious Traditions: The Indian Epic in Comparative Perspective (CSA; A&H)

Section 27850, Tuesday/Thursday 02:30P-03:45P, Woodburn Hall 116

Professor: Rebecca J. Manring
213 Sycamore Hall
855-6756
rmanring@indiana.edu

What is our duty as human beings? In this course we will explore how ancient Indian intellectuals answered this question. The Mahābhārata is one of the foundational texts of Indian civilization and is a world classic offering tremendous mythic and psychological insight into the human condition. We will examine that classical Indian epic, stressing its role as a living tradition that is constantly being recreated and reinterpreted. We’ll read significant excerpts from the epic itself, alongside recent scholarship on its literary, religious and historical contexts. We’ll also consider it as performance tradition and so will view and discuss recordings of several modern stagings of the Mahābhārata. Students will also consider recent novels (all available, if not originally written, in English) treating sections of the epic.

Class meetings will include a great deal of discussion. We will also make use of video materials and lecture, to help bring the material alive in the classroom. Students will be responsible for leading discussion for at least two class meetings, and will complete six short written assignments and one final project.

The primary purpose of this course is for you to gain an appreciation of the past, present, and no doubt future significance of this epic in India. You should leave this course with the ability to spot references to the text in news reports, popular cinema, and even casual conversation. You should also gain the following from your participation in this class:
- Familiarity with the complex notion of dharma in Indian society;
- A keener awareness of how the epic genre embodies cultural norms and transcends time;
- An appreciation, if not love, of Indian literature in different eras.

New India Studies core/intro course I-100

India Studies I-100: Introduction to India
30952 1:25-2:15 MW; 7:15 pm film screenings on Wednesdays
Friday small group discussion sections

Introduction to India, organized historically, gives students basic cultural literacy about India. Readings and lectures provide cultural and historical context, and offer critical comment. Visiting lecturers selected from among the faculty who work in the region come M/W; Friday’s class is divided among the core instructor and the AIs for discussion of that week’s material. Weekly film screenings serve as a jumping-off point for further discussion in the small section meetings on Fridays and provide an additional angle on the material covered in the week’s readings, allowing students to hone critical reading/viewing skills.

The first half of the course will examine the birth of the modern Indian nation. To that end, the course will be divided into 4 units, beginning with Partition (3 weeks). Partition raises questions about what led to Partition, and so we turn next to Colonialism (3 weeks). After centuries of foreign rule, why did European colonialism lead to India’s very bloody birth in partition? Colonialism, too, raises questions about the environment (physical, social, political, religious, etc.) the colonizers found, and the next unit covers the ancient and medieval (2 ½ weeks) periods. And finally we return to contemporary India (6 ½ weeks).

The goal of the course is to help students gain cultural literacy about India. By the end of the semester students will understand India within a global context, and have knowledge of the issues, processes, trends and systems that have led to the Republic of India of today. Students will learn to work within Indian frames of reference and perspectives to think critically and solve problems. Faculty’s collective love of the region will lead students to appreciate the arts, religions, philosophies and material cultures under consideration, so that they will become inspired to explore further through more classes and overseas study. Reading assignments will provide critical background that will enrich the film viewings and inform the Friday discussion sessions, and help maintain the thread of continuity throughout the course.

Interesting Course for Spring: Global Perspectives on Urban Agriculture & Food Security

Farming the City: Global Perspectives on Urban Agriculture & Food Security
(SPEA E100/V100 Spring 2011)

Course Description:
Feeding the world’s ever-increasing urban populations presents both significant challenges and surprising opportunities. As cities continue to grow, millions of individuals, families, organizations, and governments are turning to forms of urban agriculture to help meet their food security needs. Urban agriculture practices involve the growing, processing, and distribution of food and other products through intensive plant cultivation and animal husbandry in and around cities. From Cuba to Cambodia, from Toronto to Tanzania, well-established forms of urban agriculture now thrive alongside with a range of experimental projects and food security initiatives.

Farming the City examines how urban agriculture can help provide cities with consistent access to a variety of nutritious food sources. The course begins by examining definitions and conceptions of farming from a range of local and global perspectives. Next, students explore case studies that focus on the major benefits and possible risks associated with urban agriculture techniques. Additional cross-cultural comparison is then provided in a second set of case studies from the required textbooks. The course concludes with an examination of major components of the growing urban agriculture movement in the United States with a special emphasis on activities underway in Bloomington and the Midwest. Students will write a final paper that makes cross-cultural or regional linkages between specific urban agriculture techniques that have been presented in the course.

Course Instructor:
Dr. Galuska is an anthropologist, folklorist, and ethnomusicologist. He has directed the Foster International Living-Learning Center on the IUB campus since 2004, www.fin.indiana.edu. His research has focused on Caribbean verbal and musical traditions as well as ecotourism and sustainable agriculture practices.

Dr. Galuska is also an urban farmer. His family grows fruits and vegetables and raises American Chinchilla rabbits and heritage breed chickens at their 1-acre urban homestead. In addition to urban farming and gardening, he enjoys trail running, hiking, and performance poetry.

Interesting Spring Course: Folk-F253 The Supernatural

Diane Goldstein
Spring 2011
MWF 1:25 pm – 2:15 pm
Course # 28262

Fulfills COLL Social & Historical

Statistics gathered by Gallop Poll together with a variety of other scientific and public opinion surveys indicate that an extremely large percentage of the American and Canadian population not only believe in the supernatural, but in fact, believe that they themselves have had a supernatural or paranormal experience. While most social science disciplines consider supernatural belief to be either historical or marginal, it would seem that a substantial proportion of the North American population, of all ages and social classes, share in these traditions. If this is the case, two questions become enormously important. First, why is it that traditions predicted to decline as scientific rationalism arose, have not? Secondly, why has the extent of belief in the supernatural gone unrecognized and underestimated by the academy for so long? By examining patterns of belief and the features of supernatural folklore, this course will attempt to understand the nature of surviving and declining tradition. The course will focus on the phenomenological features of supernatural traditions; explanatory frameworks and their internal logic; means of developing and maintaining belief; functions and structures of belief traditions; and relationships between genres of belief. The general approach of the course will be ethnographic, focusing on the ethnography of belief systems.

Interesting Course for Spring: FOLK-F 121: World Arts and Cultures

The Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology is offering this spring FOLK-F 121 World Arts and Cultures, taught for the first time by the 3-time winner of the IU Trustees Teaching Award, Pravina Shukla. This is an S&H course that may appeal to a wide range of students, but you don’t have to take my word for it…here’s what Professor Shukla has to say about the course:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
FOLK-F 121: World Arts and Cultures
Pravina Shukla

Herman B Wells wanted the world to come to Indiana University, and this course does just that!

Each week the class will take a virtual trip to some part of the world – including the United States – to explore a different manifestation of art and culture through festivals and celebrations, craft, dress, food, pottery, textiles, tattoos, henna, yard art, and much more.

This course will explore traditional arts, looking at different mediums of artistic expression, and how people present themselves as members of groups and as individuals. Throughout the semester, we will seek to understand the myriad ways in which the arts are fundamental to human existence: used as a vehicle for the expression of faith, culture, aesthetics, community, and individuality. No passport required!

Interesting Course for Spring: CLLC-L 200: WRITING FOOD ACROSS GENRES

CLLC-L 200: WRITING FOOD ACROSS GENRES
28680 12:20P-01:10P MWF ME 008

Three times a day (and usually more), food creates the bond between the individual and the world. We will investigate the ways in which food is written and thought about and what roles it plays in our everyday and literary lives. We will read about food (poetry, nonfiction, fiction) and we will eat food and we will talk to local experts on food.

And we will write about food: stories, poems, and essays, before composing a sustained final project in a single genre. We will consider how to move from inspiration to selecting a genre to work in, and how form affects content. You will receive feedback on how to develop your writing, both from the group and from me. Open to all experience levels—we’re going to learn by doing here. Our shared touchstone will be how to make food a living, dynamic part of our writing practice.

REGISTER FOR ASCS Q377: THE ART OF MEANINGFUL WORK

Course Details:

* ASCS Q377: THE ART OF MEANINGFUL WORK
* Monday/Wednesday, 1:00-2:15 p.m.
* Section #30938

ASCS Q377 is for juniors and seniors who are beginning to think about life after college, and for whom finding meaningful work is of the utmost importance.

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 subjectively explore personal issues of meaning and spirituality and to discover your strengths, values, and passions, while objectively exploring topics such as the economic context of work, the environmental crisis and work, and the idea of "right livelihood." The discussion component of this class will be emphasized, and you will be asked to dig deep in order to develop a unique philosophy of meaningful work, and to discover the calling to which you are led.

Q377 is a 3 credit hour, semester-long course offered through the College of Arts and Sciences. It is open to any junior or senior who has not taken ASCS Q294.

Interesting Intensive Writing Course: Going Public: Writing Health and Healthcare

ENG-W 350 #7771 meets MWF 1:25-2:15p in BH 222

ENG-W 350 Going Public: Writing Health and Healthcare in the U.S. is an IW Service-Learning course that aims to cultivate the public communicator and social entrepreneur in students. It invites students to practice and expand their skills in writing, persuasion, and critical analysis through service and research in the community. As students find their own voices in going beyond the classroom to address public issues, they also help the people they serve find their voices. Students also come to understand the power--and dangers--of language in creating and transforming publics. They become aware of the uses that electronic communications afford, and the responsibility that comes with any attempt to manage and disseminate information.

Readings and discussions will emphasize the human dimensions of health and healthcare, from the personal, motivational aspects of being and staying healthy, to the emotional as well as financial costs of diagnosis and treatment of illnesses, and quality of life considerations in the recovery process or at the end of life. In particular, the writings of Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom and other public intellectuals will provide a framework for reflection, as students learn to think of community resources as a commons, of trust and reciprocity as the basis for collective action, of polycentric governance, and of sustainable systems.

In essence, students will be developing the critical literacy necessary to understand the causes and impact of social issues from local arenas all the way to the global. The aim is to seed the kind of collective action that will enable individuals and families to co-produce their health within their communities, local and extended, as a key component to improving health and healthcare in the United States.

Course Details:

* ASCS Q377: THE ART OF MEANINGFUL WORK
* Monday/Wednesday, 1-2:15 p.m.
* Section #30938

Course Description:
Q377 is for juniors and seniors who are beginning to think about life after college, and for whom finding meaningful work is of the utmost importance.

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 subjectively explore personal issues of meaning and spirituality and to discover your strengths, values, and passions, while objectively exploring topics such as the economic context of work, the environmental crisis and work, and the idea of "right livelihood." The discussion component of this class will be emphasized, and you will be asked to dig deep in order to develop a unique philosophy of meaningful work, and to discover the calling to which you are led.

Q377 is a 3 credit hour, semester-long course offered through the College of Arts and Sciences. It is open to any junior or senior who has not taken ASCS Q294.

The Peace Corps traces its roots and mission to 1960, when then Senator John F. Kennedy challenged students at the University of Michigan to serve their country in the cause of peace by living and working in developing countries. From that inspiration grew an agency of the federal government devoted to world peace and friendship.

Since that time, nearly 200,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in 139 host countries to work on issues ranging from AIDS education to information technology and environmental preservation.

Today's Peace Corps is more vital than ever, working in emerging and essential areas such as information technology and business development, and committing more than 1,000 new Volunteers as a part of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Peace Corps Volunteers continue to help countless individuals who want to build a better life for themselves, their children, and their communities.

Along the way, you'll also participate in contests and competitions with other interns, building relationships, honing your entrepreneurial skills and gaining experience. You'll take on the same challenges as our first and second year full-time professionals. Even better, at the end of your internship, you'll make a presentation to your management team covering the business topics you learned throughout the program.

As part of our Management Internship Program, you must be ambitious, creative, personable, resourceful, fun loving and hard working. As you'd imagine, everyone else in the program is just as motivated as you.

REGISTER FOR ASCS Q377: THE ART OF MEANINGFUL WORK

Course Details:

* ASCS Q377: THE ART OF MEANINGFUL WORK
* Monday/Wednesday, 1:00-2:15 p.m.
* Section #30938

Course Description:
Q377 is for juniors and seniors who are beginning to think about life after college, and for whom finding meaningful work is of the utmost importance.
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 subjectively explore personal issues of meaning and spirituality and to discover your strengths, values, and passions, while objectively exploring topics such as the economic context of work, the environmental crisis and work, and the idea of "right livelihood." The discussion component of this class will be emphasized, and you will be asked to dig deep in order to develop a unique philosophy of meaningful work, and to discover the calling to which you are led.

Q377 is a 3 credit hour, semester-long course offered through the College of Arts and Sciences. It is open to any junior or senior who has not taken ASCS Q294.
