Spaces still available in Journalism Spring 2010 2nd 8 week courses
Hello,
Just a reminder that the following SPRING 2010 2nd 8 week classes in Journalism have plenty of available seats.
The course, JOUR-C 201, Hot Topics in Journalism, does not count in the Journalism major. It is designed for non-journalism students. No topic will fulfill any Journalism requirements.
If a student has taken the topic: "Hot Topics" before, then they should not re-take it as the course will be a course repeat. However, it may be repeated with a different topic.
We have four different classes under the heading of Hot Topics. Two are "Hot Topics in Journalism." One covers topics in Sports Journalism. One covers Entertainment Journalism, titled Scandalized: Tabloids and the News. All are taught by experienced instructors with a strong background in the topics.
Please let me know if you have questions. Also, Ms. Linda Long, Student Services Assistant, is the primary contact for questions about the course. Please call her at 855-9248, e-mail ljlong@indiana.edu.
Thank you for sharing the information with your students.

1. JOUR-C201: Hot topics in journalism. Does not count in Journalism degree, for non-majors. 2nd 8 week course. 3 credits.
TWO CLASSES: TOPIC IS "HOT TOPICS"
A. Class 8205 6-8 pm, MW, Woodburn 100, Jeff Cannon
The media occupy a "hot" space in audiences' everyday lives. Through them we come to know the range of people, issues and controversies in politics, economics, and entertainment. This course examines recent trends in journalism, particularly changes in technology, regulation, and globalization that have tested the limits and role of journalism in a democracy. Guest speakers will address everything from social networking to ethics to the effects of such popular entertainment properties as the Twilight book/film series. Students can expect to leave this course with command of a practical toolkit of concepts for critically evaluating journalism and mass media for years to come.
Required text: Kovach, B., & Rosenstiel, T. (2007). The Elements of Journalism. New York, NY: Three Rivers Press.
B. Class 13127 Ernie Pyle Hall Room 220 Tuesday & Thursday 5:45-7:45 pm. Teaching this course is Emmy award-winning television reporter Marty Pieratt.
Journalism, media, and mass communications are such a crucial part of our everyday life. This course is designed to help students understand the institutions, places, and people surrounding today's dynamic world communications convergence. A student in any area of study will find this course extremely beneficial in understanding the media world, and by the end of the semester should leave historic Ernie Pyle Hall with the ability to critically evaluate journalism and mass media
We will study the differences between professional journalists in print, broadcast, public relations and online media, and those who may be merely pretending. We will focus on both the pioneers of journalism history and the innovators of today's new media and citizen journalism. This course will focus on the practices and effects of all media from local to international. We will always touch on the hot topics of the day and how it is handled by the media, politicians, and analyze how it is absorbed by social media, our culture, and the world. Guest speakers will include media professionals and other guests connected with IU's nationally-recognized School of Journalism. Each lecture will be presented in a fast-moving, compelling style with audio, video, and graphic features.
Class discussion and debate is more than encouraged. Students need to be prepared to keep pace with all forms of daily mass media.

2. TOPIC IS SPORTS JOURNALISM:
A. Class 31599, Jour-C 201: Sports Journalism, MW 3:35-5:35 pm, Rawles Hall 100. Jeff Cannon.
Topic: "Warriors, Legends and Icons."
Among the 20th century's most notable cultural developments was the rise in prominence of sports in society. Countless games and pastimes became cultural foci, thanks largely to the reports of a nascent sports media. One hundred years after its virtual birth, sports reporting is as developed an institution as are the sports it now covers. This course will provide a three-pronged introduction to sports journalism: through guest lectures by a range of sports media professionals; through reading and discussion of some of the best sports journalism of the century; and through readings and lectures on the role of sports and sport journalism in society. Students can expect to leave the course with an understanding of the evolving role of sport and sport media in society, as well as a fundamental understanding of the components of a contemporary sports media toolkit.
Required texts: Halberstam, D. & Stout, G. (Eds.), The Best American Sports Writing of the Century. Mariner Books; Schultz, B., Sports Media: Reporting, Producing, and Planning. Second Edition. Focal Press.
3. TOPIC IS SCANDALIZED: TABLOIDS & THE NEWS
A. Class 31730, JOUR-C 201. 6-8 pm, MW, Ernie Pyle hall 214. Lori Henson.
Paparazzi and tabloid reporters capture with breathless enthusiasm the trials and tribulations of celebrities from Lindsey Lohan to Tiger Woods to presidential candidate John Edwards. But these scandals don't confine themselves only to the pages of supermarket rags and online gossip sites. Tabloid scandals pervade mainstream media and seep into American culture as a whole. This course will examine the history of tabloid journalism - from the "yellow journalism" of the early 20th century to today's tech-savvy coverage. It will examine how mainstream news has been impacted by - but attempted to distance itself from - tabloid sensationalism. Finally, it will examine the ways technology is blurring the lines between celebrity, audience and journalist.

Looking for some great 300-level Culture Studies courses?
There are still seats available in the following Asian American Studies courses. All are 300 level courses and carry culture studies credit:
AAST A300 Topics in Asian American Studies (3 cr.) CSA
Topic: Social Problems in the Health and Wellbeing of Asian America
RTV 180 at TR 1-2:15 p.m
Instructor: Fernando Ona
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. Students 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. They will also have the opportunity to
review potential solutions to these issues and discuss current approaches to public health
interventions that attempt to address these challenges. The course adopts a case study approach
and incorporates a community-based participatory research module and process as the basis of a
course research project.
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!

Looking for a Good N&M for Spring? Try STAT-S 100 Statistical Literacy
If you have any students looking for an interesting, truly worthwhile N & M course, please have them consider STAT S100, Statistical Literacy.
This course teaches students how to be informed consumers of statistics in their everyday lives. It lays out the basic statistical concepts needed to understand what they read in the paper and hear on the news and to be able to make informed decisions.
For example:
Recent articles state that loneliness and obesity are contagious. What does this really mean?
A poll predicted that Kerry would win over Bush in 2004 by a margin of 72% to 9%. How could that poll have been so wrong and which polls should we believe?
How can two reports of the same teen drug use study come to opposite conclusions... and how can we tell truth from spin?
You read that 1 in 4 Americans suffers from mental illness. You are in a room with 39 other people. Does this mean there are 10 people with a mental illness in the room?
While some basic statistical calculations are introduced, the value of understanding the underlying statistical concepts is what is emphasized. Students are asked to challenge their intuition through interactive in-class activities and discussions on such topics as clinical trials, data ethics, public opinion polls and the political process, the question of causation, the role of government statistics, and dealing with chance in everyday life.

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!

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

• 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.

SPEA - Scholars in Global Citizenship Application Deadline Soon
SPRING 2010 – Scholars in Global Citizenship - Korea
SPEA V450 / 13762 Topics in Public Affairs
Hutton and SPEA Honors Credit
Approved in all SPEA majors
Prospectus:
Globalization, which some sources continue to define largely in terms of economic integration and the free flow of capital, also involves the transfer of ideas, knowledge, and values. Students in this special course have a unique opportunity to test just how far and in how many areas of public life the forces of globalization extend. The course focuses on how globalization shapes and shifts resources, opportunities and creates challenges in societies that are rapidly changing. Societies in the midst of rapid change include, for example, those that have developed a large middle class in a single generation, have high rates of high-speed internet access in the home, have moved toward greater pluralism and political openness – among other trends. We expect that, in these societies, globalization’s impacts should be readily observable though not necessarily easily comprehendible. Hence, our primary objective is to improve our comprehension of the processes and outcomes of globalization in societies that are rapidly changing and developing – for example, in South Korea. This course meets in the second eight weeks of spring 2010. The course consists of a 12-day field module in Seoul, South Korea in May 12-26, 2009.
Course Requirements
Student groups will prepare for and lead discussion for each session of the course. Discussion leaders’ responsibilities include: 1) summarizing key points from the readings 2) developing and submitting to the instructor three discussion questions no less than three days before the class meets; and 3) assigning a short news article or equivalent article to fellow students on an aspect of Korean politics, business, or society that is relevant to the assigned reading. The course includes an exam at the end of the semester and a 15-20 page term paper due prior to the end of summer session 1. Active class participation is also required. Participation of students in debate and discussion is not simply desirable -- it is vital, especially for a seminar course like V450. Hence, a portion of your grade will be determined by the vigor of your participation in class discussions as well as your professionalism during the overseas portion of the course.
South Korea Module (May 12-26) Depart from Indianapolis
The study tour in South Korea encourages students to consider how globalization affects governments, businesses, community organizations, and ordinary people in South Korea. Korea is an excellent “field site” for studying impacts of globalization on state and society, with its open economy, and with new and growing challenges posed by this openness. Those challenges including managing ever-growing influxes of migrant workers, and balancing economic growth with environmental protection. Students are encouraged to consider how Korea is developing governance institutions – both in the public and nonprofit areas – to manage globalization. Korea’s goal is to ensure that these institutions catch up with the nation’s already strong and vibrant economy. A study tour in Korea will focus on key public affairs and nonprofit sector issues relevant to Korea and to the Korea-US relationship.
Prestigious Yonsei University serves as the institutional base for the SGCP in Korea. The Division of International Education and Exchange, which handles Yonsei University’s partnership agreements worldwide, will be the primary point of contact for SPEA. Seoul-based Yonsei, which is among the very top universities in Asia, boasts 502 partner universities in 56 countries around the world. Its international student body and global worldview, coupled with its longstanding partnerships with SPEA, make it an ideal base for the SGC’s first program. Moreover, SPEA is proud that its alumni occupy high professorial and administrative posts at Yonsei. The course instructor, Dr. Matthew Auer, and the SGC co-director, Stephanie Lewis, will reside in the same dormitory as the students.
Course fee of $2900.00 includes round trip group air transportation from Indianapolis, ground transportation from and to Seoul from Incheon Airport, housing, some meals, all site module course materials, entrance fees and bus transportation for extracurricular group activities.

Participation of students in debate and discussion is not simply desirable -- it is vital, especially for a seminar course like V450. Hence, a portion of your grade will be determined by the vigor of your participation in class discussions as well as your professionalism during the overseas portion of the course.
South Korea Module (May 12-26) Depart from Indianapolis
The study tour in South Korea encourages students to consider how globalization affects governments, businesses, community organizations, and ordinary people in South Korea. Korea is an excellent “field site” for studying impacts of globalization on state and society, with its open economy, and with new and growing challenges posed by this openness. Those challenges including managing ever-growing influxes of migrant workers, and balancing economic growth with environmental protection. Students are encouraged to consider how Korea is developing governance institutions – both in the public and nonprofit areas – to manage globalization. Korea’s goal is to ensure that these institutions catch up with the nation’s already strong and vibrant economy. A study tour in Korea will focus on key public affairs and nonprofit sector issues relevant to Korea and to the Korea-US relationship.
