AMS (American Studies)

Spring 2007-2008

Global Leadership and Sustainability in the Dominican Republic
AMS 499/599 (3 Credits)

Sarah Woiteshek
Weekly Sprint Course, Monday’s 6:00 to 7:15 p.m., March 6 - May 2
In Dominican Republic, May 11- May 20
This international service-learning course will focus on examining the structures of community building in the Dominican Republic and the United States through a unique combination of course work and community engagement. Through developing relationships with the local Dominican population in southwest Ohio, we will build a base to reflect on the connections between local DR community and the global DR community of Rio Limpio. While in the DR, we will explore the many realities of economy; a small rural village, a historical city and a tourist area on the coast. Taking organic agricultural practices in the United States and the Dominican Republic as points of departure, we will explore the various systems surrounding global conceptions of leadership, citizenship, and community. Students will work side by side with members of rural and urban communities in the DR within the context of a community-based organic agricultural school. No pre-requisites required.

Students must register for 3 credit summer workshop (tuition and fees) plus a $900 fee which covers travel, food, lodging, and cultural experiences during our time in the Dominican Republic. Some scholarship funding may be available.

Interested students should contact Sarah Woiteshek prior to February 20th . To secure a place on the trip, students must pay a $100 deposit made out to Miami University by March 1, 2008. Final payment of $800 is due by April 1, 2008.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Paris, France
Ever since Picasso and other modern artists discovered the art of Africa, Oceania, and other "native" groups in the early 20th century, Western art, culture, and identity have been shaped through the interaction of the so-called "civilized" West with the objects of "primitive" peoples. This course examines the culture and works of major modern artists who were significantly inspired by primitivism, as well as the art that inspired them, in order to show how this interaction has affected Western art and identity. in addition to classroom discussion, films and guest speakers, the class will include numerous visits to museums, art environments, artist studios, and a variety of art sites in Paris and elsewhere. The course requires no prerequisites. The course package includes: a) 6 weeks in Paris with tours to the surrounding countryside and Lausanne, b) accommodations in Paris with internet facilities, c) metro and bus passes for transportation in Paris, d) entrance to all course-related museums, art galleries, and art sites, e) student medical, accident, and liability insurance, e) access to an international student center in Paris with the services of a professional student advisor for information, travel advice, fax and mail services and emergency contact service.

Biodiversity is a widely recognized priority for global conservation and a focus for environmental studies. The proposed workshop is an intensive two-week field study designed for students to learn about: 1) the natural history and ecology of tropical ecosystems in Kenya (e.g., grazing mammals, large predators, tropical vegetation, birds-biological diversity); 2) the indigenous cultures and human relationships with Kenyan environments (e.g. Massai, Kikuyu, Kamba, Taita-cultural diversity); and 3) conservation issues from interdisciplinary perspectives (cooperative actions for local communities and natural ecosystems-complex issues in the conservation of biodiversity). Students will acquire both a basic and applied understanding of biodiversity in Kenya through field observations, conversations with field experts (researchers, guides, and local people), service activities with local communities, group discussions, field research, and outside readings.

It will stress the working relationships between business functions and processes as they relate to an entry level employee. The third perspective is from the individual’s point of view looking into a business. It will stress personal finance, accounting, and consumer issues that are critical to a working member of society. Specific content areas include an overview and history of business, organizational and human resource issues, entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, accounting, operations, and more externally focused supply chain management concepts. The final two weeks of the program involve a detailed group project simulating the development of a new product.
