EURO-E405, Greek History Meets Greek Film

Greek History Encounters Greek Film, EURO-W405/W605

Tuesday and Thursday 5:45-7:00 PM, Film Screenings on Monday at 5:45 PM or Arranged

Greek History Encounters Greek Film is an interdisciplinary course that provides an overview of Modern Greek history while simultaneously addressing larger questions about the representation of history through the medium of film.  The course will begin with a historical overview that will introduce you to modern Greece’s fascinating and complex history.  We will focus on a variety of events including the Greek Enlightenment and the national revolution, the first Kingdom of Greece, the Balkan Wars, modernization, the Asia Minor Catastrophe, WWII and the Occupation, the Civil War, the Military Junta of 1967-1974, and membership in the European Union.  

As this foundation is put into place, we will begin examining film representations of these historical events.  Initially, our discussion of these film texts will be focused on questions of historiography and historical accuracy.  From there, we will branch out to examine both the process by which film texts create an aura of historical authenticity and the way that film texts function as historically situated events themselves: as events, in other words, that reflect and shape specific political, social, and historiographical moments.  In the process, we will also address broader questions, such as the relationship of film to history and the nature of historical representation. 

This course carries COLL (CASE) Global Civilizations and Cultures Credit and Social and Historical Studies (S & H) Breath of Inquiry Credit.

Social Work Elective fall '14

I wanted to let you know about an social work elective called Substance Abuse and Social Services that I developed and have taught at IUB for many years. The course is geared towards those who are interested in going into helping professionals. In addition to my my position at IU I am also a clinical addiction therapist, providing substance abuse counseling to individuals, couples, groups and families for over 20 years. The course is well received  and I would be happy to provide referrals from former students. Also Ms. Mary Lou Kennedy Hosek (mhosek@indiana.edu) currently senior academic advisor for political science would be would be happy to provide a recommendation as she has had many of her students take my class.

 

Below is a course overview:

The purpose of this course is to give students an overview of the field of addiction (alcohol & drugs) including discussion of several conceptual models and theories. The course focuses on self-help groups, assessment procedures, and current intervention strategies. Students are given an opportunity to explore special issues in the field among oppressed minorities and  their findings with other students. Emphasis will also be placed on introducing students to the particular culture and ideologies that contribute to the provision of services in the field of addictions.  A brief overview on other addictions (gambling, sex, food) will be presented

9:30-12:30 MTWR

 

Taught by Ken Weitzman. 

 

Class is open to grads and undergrads (juniors, seniors, or by permission of instructor),

 

Course synopsis:

A general introduction to the principles of screenwriting, covering structure, character creation, visual storytelling, format, the writing of narrative description, and dialogue.

The objective of the course is to deepen each student’s conceptual understanding of the craft of screenplay writing--and storytelling in general--and to put this knowledge into practice, writing several short screenplays.  

IU Center for Art and Design Workshops for Fall 2014

The Indiana University Center for Art and Design is offering a series of 1 credit workshops this fall.  The attached flyer provides descriptions of the workshops and additional information about the series as a whole.  Please share this information with students you think might be interested.

In the words of Prof. Kevin Lair, who will be teaching the courses: “IUCA+D has been given the mission from President McRobbie to collaborate with programs across campus and to foster design education the broadest sense possible.”  You can find more information about IUCA+D on their website here: http://design.iub.edu/iucadc/.

Individualized Major Program to begin offering minors for Fall 2014

The Individualized Major Program is excited to announce that starting in fall 2014 it will accept applications for individualized minors.  We’ll entertain proposals for minors that arise from students’ interest in Themester or colloquia offered through IU’s centers and institutes, or that concern any subject not represented among IU’s standard minor offerings.

 

The minor is like others offered through the College in that it consists of 15 hours with a minimum of nine at the 300-400 level.  It’s different from some minors in that it includes courses from various departments (in fact, no more than two courses from a single department can count).  Also, we’ve included special regulations to ensure the minors’ integrity: For example, no more than two courses for the minor can be completed or in progress at the time the student applies.

 

Students pursuing IMP minors are not required to have faculty sponsors or to interview for admission to the IMP.  The minor application includes a brief essay in which the student distinguishes the proposed minor from others available at IU and articulates the principle of its coherence.  Applications will be reviewed by a committee of three faculty members; subsequent changes require the approval of the IMP director.

For more information, contact IMP:

New GenEd N&M for Fall: ANTH-A 107 Becoming Human...

ANTH-A 107 Becoming Human: Evolving Genes, Bodies, Behavior, Ideas

 

What makes us human?

 

The human story is revealed not only in our ideas and cultural behaviors, but also in our bodies and our genes.  This class will introduce you to the scientific quest for human origins. We can make inferences about human evolution by comparing ourselves to our close living relatives (primates), but we can only really know how we became the unique species we are today by looking at ancient evidence, and tracing our bio-cultural evolution deep into prehistoric times.

 

Ultimately our goal is to help you appreciate how a knowledge of the deep human past is relevant to your own life, whether as a student at IU today, or as a future parent, medical patient, consumer, or IT professional.

 

Lectures will include digital media presentations and discussions using interactive student response systems (clickers) to model problem-solving and help students understand difficult concepts. 

Weekly labs and discussions will give students the chance to study different types of evidence for themselves (e.g., casts of fossils,

artifacts) and to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of each approach to interpreting our past.  Grades will be based on lecture participation, weekly take-home quizzes (administered online), weekly lab exercises, and three short essay assignments / projects.

Interns needed for two professional projects in Bloomington

This summer I am collaborating with a professional production company in Bloomington, Brave New Productions, on two very exciting projects. We would like the following memo, along with the respective pictures pasted below, to be forwarded to CMCL students in order to generate interest in Brave New's internships:

 

JUST CALL ME JACK is an independent feature film to be shot in Bloomington on May 19-24 and 26-31. It is a one-location musical chamber drama produced by Brave New Productions. Indiana University students remaining in Bloomington through May can now apply for a production internship to work on set for all or some days under the wing of professional filmmakers. For more information, go to www.justcallmejackmovie.com

 

The OLD NORTHWEST FILM FESTIVAL is an event in Bloomington also coordinated by Brave New Productions, scheduled for Saturday, July 26th. The festival will screen work from all across the Midwest in categories designated for high school, college, and professional filmmakers. Screenings will include the debut of Bloomington feature film GOBINON and the first trailer for JUST CALL ME JACK. Indiana University students in Bloomington on and around July 26th can now apply for an internship to help run the festival and network with industry professionals.

 

Anyone who is interested in both or either of these opportunities can send a resume of interest to bpnichol@indiana.edu

 

Regards,
