GEDU 702 - Soc/Crit Theoretical Foundtns
Unit(s): 3
This seminar provides a social and critical theoretical foundation to the study of education. The aim of the course is to examine the ways that particular theorists have conceptualized 1) what education is, 2) how to characterize its social power and potential, and 3) how theory informs our research processes and praxis. The readings introduce students to philosophies and critiques of education as well as to broader social and political theories that challenge commonsense definitions of education as a whole with a specific focus on knowledge production, ideology, power, and agency.

GEDU 730 - Disability and Impairment
Unit(s): 3
Research approaches and discourse in psychology and medicine tend to place disability as a problem that resides within the individual body/mind. By contrast, disability studies perspectives help to contextualize our understanding of disability more broadly within society and culture, while at the same time, acknowledging individual variation. Students will be immersed in the debates, theoretical perspectives, methods, and findings that have been used to explain and address disability and impairment across disciplines.

GEDU 733 - Disability Studies in Ed
Unit(s): 3
Across the field of disability studies, disability is defined not as a deficit inherent in certain body/minds, but rather as a relationship of differential power/privilege and constructed contextually. In this course we will look at the social meaning and material consequences of disability in various cultural and historical spaces, and how these have influenced educational opportunities for students who are labeled with disability. Epistemological and theoretical differences between disability studies in education, and traditional, special education will be explored to understand deeply-divided approaches to research and practice, as they relate to student disability. We will also understand how disability intersect and co-constructs other identity markers in educational spaces, nationally and globally.

GEDU 735 - Multiliteracies in Tchr Ed
Unit(s): 3
The concept of “multiliteracies” refers to a broad and inclusive model of literacy that accounts for the complex and rapidly changing modes of meaning making within our diverse society. While at least eighty percent of students classified as having a disability have difficulty reading, all students can benefit from some kind of literacy support: learning to read words, vocabulary, and comprehending text, and/or understanding language in context, using a cell phone, operating a washing machine, recognizing an important street sign or bus stop, following a recipe, or reading a prescription. This course is designed to survey the current research on teacher education with an emphasis on best practices for addressing a wide range of student literacies. Supported higher education teaching experiences will be provided, offering career advancement towards adjunct and faculty positions.

GERM 318 - Jewish Lit & Cult/20th C. Euro
Unit(s): 4
Taught in English. Fulfills Core-C Literature requirement. Listed as elective for Jewish Studies and Social Justice, International Studies, and European Studies.
This course examines some of the most important issues involving ethnicity, heritage, and identity by focusing on major expressions by writers and artists of Jewish background in Western and Eastern Europe. The class is interdisciplinary in scope, using literature, theater, film, art, music, and other media to define concepts that have shaped significant contributions by Jewish artists, thinkers and intellectuals, particularly in the German and Yiddish vernacular. Against the changing historical backgrounds, the class seeks to gain a deeper understanding of what it meant to be Jewish in the early part of the century, and to distinguish different forms of acculturation and/or assimilation. It then moves on to discuss literary testimonies of Holocaust survivors and ends with examples of the burgeoning Jewish culture in post-wall Germany.

After explorations into different works from East- and West-Germany until 1989 and the Fall of the Berlin Wall, a particular emphasis will be placed on developments in the “new” German capital Berlin. Students examine texts in different genres, including prose, poetry, theory, and film, while gaining a deeper understanding of the contexts in which new ideas and forms of expression emerge. A special focus will be the question of identity and identifications as shaped by personal, national, and trans-national influences.

Unit(s): 4
Taught in English. Fulfills Core-C Literature requirement. Cross-listed with French Studies. Listed as elective for International Studies, European Studies, and Jewish Studies and Social Justice. This course explores the profound social and intellectual changes which marked the turn into the 20th century in Europe, particularly Germany, Austria, and France, and the reflection of these changes in the arts. The concepts of “modernity” and “modernism” will be the point of departure for an overview of the “_isms” by which this period is defined in political (e.g. Nationalism, Imperialism, Socialism, Capitalism, Feminism), philosophical (e.g. Social Darwinism, Rationalism, Idealism), and artistic terms (e.g. Naturalism, Postimpressionism, Expressionism, Symbolism, Surrealism). We will analyze groundbreaking theoretical works by Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud, and others, and delineate their influences on literature and film. Special attention will be given to the interplay of different movements and ideas, and the (self-)awareness of the subject in a rapidly changing and challenging world.

MGEM 5107 - Innovation Techno Management
Unit(s): 3
The course aims to equip future entrepreneurs with an understanding of the main issues in the management of innovation and technology.

MGEM 5111 - Social Entrepreneurship
Unit(s): 3
Social Entrepreneurship is an emerging and rapidly changing field dedicated to the starting and growing social mission-driven for-profit and nonprofit ventures - that is, organizations that strive to advance social change through innovative solutions. Social Entrepreneurship is more than a set of tools and techniques for starting and growing a social venture. It is a mindset, a way of looking at things that is opportunity focused and creative. It is about passion - doing what you love. It is about creating wealth in all its forms: economic value, social innovation and sustainability, and making a difference in the communities that we serve. While numerous different definitions of social entrepreneurship exist, there appears to be a consensus on two major elements:• Social entrepreneurship involves the creativity, imagination and innovation often associated with entrepreneurship; and• The outcomes of social entrepreneurship are focused on addressing persistent social problems particularly to those who are marginalized or poor, however broader definitions also include those issues most pressing to society such as energy conservation, pollution, solution for pervasive disease amongst those able to pay for treatment, and those incapable of treatment.
