Critical Ethnography: Eyes in a Transnational World Rita Pougiales American studies anthropology community studies cultural studies field studies history international studies political science	Program	FR–SRFreshmen - Senior	8	08	Day	Su 13Summer Session I	The processes of economic and political globalization reshape and undermine the lives of people and communities throughout the world. Some anthropologists have turned their attention to the effects of globalization on traditional and modern cultures, attempting to bring to light the full complexities and consequences of these transnational practices. For example, Joao Biehl develops an argument linking global economic activity in Brazil to what he calls the development of "zones of social abandonment" in most urban settings. Anthropologists conduct their studies through critical ethnographic research, gathering data, over long periods of time, as both "participant" and "observer" of those they are studying. Doing ethnographic research is simultaneously analytical and deeply embodied. This program includes an examination of and application of ethnographic research methods and methodologies, a study of varied theoretical frameworks used by anthropologists today to interpret and find meaning in data, and an opportunity to conduct an ethnographic project of interest. Students will read and explore a range of ethnographic studies that reveal what an anthropologist—whom Ruth Behar calls a "vulnerable observer"—can uncover about the lives of people today, and advocate on their behalf.

Games Marketers Play: Services Marketing David Shaw business and management communications economics Signature Required: Summer	Program	FR–SRFreshmen - Senior	4, 8	04 08	Day	Su 13Summer Session I	This program will examine the art and science of marketing services, as reflected in the theories, models, and techniques employed in the marketing discipline today.The focus of this program is on marketing as a contemporary, real-world practice, including the analytical tools and techniques used by professionals in the field. The added wrinkle in this iteration of the program will be applying these tools to organizations and industries where the product provided is based more on services provided than on physical goods. While the classic marketing literature takes primarily a goods-based perspective, modern applications and theories are increasingly focused on services, given their increasing importance in the economy nationally and globally. Our study will include a review of the literature on researching consumers, employees (service providers) and markets, as well as multiple case studies of real-world organizations providing services (for-profit, non-profit). We will then move on to focus on segmentation, targeting, and differentiation strategies for organizations, with an overview of topics related to product, distribution, communications, and pricing issues.While the program can be taken safely as an introductory course, the readings and assignments will be comparable to a second year marketing course, e.g., marketing management.

Producing and Sequencing Music Peter Randlette computer science media arts music	Program	FR–SRFreshmen - Senior	8	08	Day	Su 13Summer Session I	Computers are now the basic sketchpad for creating music. From recording instruments into them to using software instruments that sound like nearly anything, software recording allows extremely complex production. This five-week program will familiarize members with the use of computer based MIDI soft and hardware, synthesizers, and cover some of the technical 'mysteries' which are critical to comprehending use. This program is mostly about exploring the musical production process. The only prerequisites are interest in music, some keyboard and/or guitar skill, and curiosity. Lecture and workshop sessions will cover operation of the systems, demonstrating different techniques in a group setting. This will be the time for reviewing readings, presenting questions, and troubleshooting. Students will play back their pieces for feedback and so that others can see how different people compose. Individual studio times will be assigned to each student. These times are for trying the different functions of the software, creating short musical ideas to apply learned skills and experimenting with new techniques. Members will be expected to spend a minimum of two 4-hour blocks in the studio per week. Consulting times will be scheduled to permit members to meet for individual or small group assistance in the studio. If members are having problems understanding operation, this is the time to get additional help.		Peter Randlette	Tue Wed	Freshmen FR Sophomore SO Junior JR Senior SR	Summer	Summer

The Social Animal Laura Citrin psychology sociology	Program	FR–SRFreshmen - Senior	8	08	Day	Su 13Summer Session I	Eliot Aronson, , 2012 In this program, we will explore the fundamentals of social psychology, the field that bridges psychology and sociology, to examine how people think, feel, and behave because of the real (or imagined) presence of social others. This program starts with the premise that human beings are inherently beings—informed, influenced, and constituted by the social world. Using this perspective as a launching-off point, we will investigate everyday life—from the mundane to the extraordinary—as it is lived and experienced by individuals involved in an intricate web of social relationships. This social psychological view of the self explores the ways that individuals are enmeshed and embodied within the social context both in the moment and the long-term, ever constructing who we are, how we present ourselves to the world, and how we are perceived by others. Through lecture, workshop, twice-weekly seminar, film, reading, writing, and research assignments, we will cover most of the fundamental topics within the field including conformity, emotions and sentiments, persuasion and propaganda, obedience to authority, social cognition, attitudes, aggression, attraction, and desire. We will also discuss epistemology (the branch of philosophy concerned with how we know what we know) as we learn about and practice social psychological research methods.

Tax and Fiscal Policy Jenny Greenlee and Dianne Criswell	Course	GR ONLYGraduate Only	4	04	Evening and Weekend	Su 13Summer	As the economic crisis has forced tough decisions at all levels of government, understanding of tax and fiscal policy has become more important than ever.
