| Seminar: Prepare your seminar ticket as follows: 1. Bring an example from the news media in which a person, community or culture is projecting its own shadow on another individual or community that is resulting in violence. Write one to two paragraphs of how you see the shadow archetype being expressed through violence. 2. On page 51, Rodriguez lists questions we must ask ourselves in relation to society and young people. Create an additional question you would add to the list after reading Parts 1 and 2. Write one to two paragraphs of your own current understanding of your question. 3. Cite a specific text passage that you think is central to Rodriguez’s ideas. How does this idea relate to Jung’s concept of myths and archetypes? | Seminar: Find TWO SCHOLARLY PDF journal articles related to your research topic that you think are valuable for your classmates to read. You should find these articles through the library’s JSTOR database (or similar scholarly database). No random webpage drivel allowed! Look for an article about 5-10 pages long. These will provide shared seminar readings during Thursdays of weeks 4 and 5. In the assigned week, you will bring two copies of each article to class. Students will pair up and then breakout of session to read ONE article during class time and discuss what is important for the other students in class to know about this article. Then the group will reconvene and each pair of students will present the article to the class. More details in class. |
