Cross-listed with 56:350:594 and 56:606:612. When Children's Literature emerges as a literary genre in the 19th century, it does so as a sub-genre of English and American Romanticism. The course sets out to demonstrate how the combined and sustaining influence on the genre, particularly its shared belief in childhood as a source of visionary strength and in the individual child’s essential originality, is still in force. Particular areas of interest to be explored are the versions of female and feminine archetypes and how the divine is represented in CL. Readings span the full CL canon and include works in English and American as well as works in translation (The Little Prince), beginning with Wordsworth and Coleridge and moving from Goody Two Shoes through Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, tracing the elaboration of these influences in the children's books that begin to appear in the late 18th century, through the 19th, and into the late 20th.

Off-campus courses at JBMDL. Hybrid course in eCollege format with limited in-class meetings. This course will take a case study approach to the history of art in Europe, focusing on a selection of key works from the 18th to the 20th century, which were created in France, England, Germany, and Spain. By closely studying a small selection of paintings, sculptures, monuments, and photographs, the student will investigate the traditions of artistic movements that have shaped our understanding of Modern Art. Issues pertaining to connoisseurship, patronage, iconography, and the evolving role of artists in society will allow to clarify cultural, social, and political contexts in which works of arts were created. Prior knowledge of Art History is not required as lectures and discussions will help the student develop an in-depth understanding of essential artistic movements.

McCarty, Patrick
Email: mccarty@camden.rutgers.edu
Off-campus courses at JBMDL. Hybrid course in eCollege format with limited in-class meetings. How do anthropologists understand culture? What is meant by an "Anthropology of American Culture"? Is it appropriate to speak of American culture? How does this approach compare to other disciplines in the Social Sciences? Where do we find ‘American culture’? How are we a part of it? Can we study ourselves in an unbiased way? Have anthropologists from other countries studied "us"? This course will explore the nature of American culture–what holds it together and what divides it. Central to our study will be the examination and critique of current American images from popular culture. We will also draw connections between the various theoretical approaches and real life situations and other varied sources of knowledge about American culture. Where do we go to find sources of American culture? Who are some of the important writers on this subject, anthropologists or otherwise? Have we changed as a people since we became a nation? Do the insights of foreign observers help us to see ourselves and our culture more clearly? We will consult the writings of philosophers, historians, literary figures, and anthropologists to help answer these questions.

Young, Ed
Email: profyoung@verizon.net
Online course in eCollege format. Online course support fee of $100. Literally meaning “The love of wisdom,” philosophy requires reflection on what is important in life. Since our own experience is always limited, it is important to consider experiences beyond our own. Films offer perspectives on how life might be experienced differently, often addressing philosophical themes in the process. So our class will be dedicated to philosophical reflection on themes like skepticism, relativism, personal identity, and determinism as represented in popular film.

Independent Study – Thesis Proposal (Cr.3)

5/28-8/14 Time by arrangement
Staff
Email: chmarkey@camden.rutgers.edu
By permission of instructor. This course is designed to assist students in developing their thesis proposal with the guidance of a faculty mentor. At the beginning of the semester, each student chooses a faculty adviser and works closely with the adviser to formulate and refine a proposal. The proposal may develop as an apprenticeship with an experienced researcher, as when a student works under the direction of an adviser to test a hypothesis of mutual interest; or a student may work with an adviser to develop a more independent research question, which the adviser is willing and able to supervise. While developing the thesis proposal, students participate in the Research/Fieldwork Practicum seminar in which their evolving proposals are discussed with the practicum instructor and other students who are taking the course. Through presentations by other students in the seminar, instructor comments and suggestions, and active participation in group discussion and feedback, each student gains knowledge of research strategies and methods used in different settings. The grade is based one-half on the recommendation of the faculty adviser, and one-half on fulfilling the requirements of the practicum classes.

7/22-8/14 Time by arrangement
Wright, Deborah
Email: ddwright@camden.rutgers.edu
Online course in Sakai format. Online course support fee of $100. This course focuses on the prospects and problems of designing, conducting, and utilizing evaluations as part of the policy process. Inquiries about public programs programs abound. Are the funds being spent commensurate with the outcomes produced? Are there better ways to address and solve society’s problems? The ultimate choices about programs–decisions about whether to continue, modify, or terminate–are policy choices. Political leaders, public administrators, and the public need as much high quality information as possible in order to make intelligent choices. During this course, students will be introduced to basic concepts of evaluation including: various theoretical and philosophical perspectives, issues related to design, measurement and utilization, and ethical problems associated with social science research in the real world setting. This course will provide students with a set of basic skills required in the evaluation process. In addition, this course will help students recognize that: program objectives are seldom as clearly stated or agreed upon as would be desirable for evaluative purposes; no program operates in isolation from other social or economic events; and that data and measurement techniques generally are less adequate than desired. It is the adaptation of theory and the ideal to the actual situation that the practitioner of program evaluation must master.

Golden, Lonnie
Email:Lmg5@psu.edu
Hybrid course in Sakai format with limited inclass meetings. Cross-listed with 53:620:670. This course introduces students to the new and exciting new world of Work-Life and Work-Family research, workplace practices and public policies. It is a topic of interest for human resource managers, public policy makers and just about anyone with both paid work and non-work responsibilities. The field bridges several different disciplines—it has transformed from its original focus on the challenge for women joining the labor force to resolving the inherent time and role conflicts that all employees face, trying to navigate daily between family, personal, career and paid work commitments, in their time allocation and work effort decisions. The field now extends into the organizational performance outcomes, examining the “business case” for adopting more supportive work-life formal practices, and for public policies at the national level, to promote caregiving and development of children, families and communities. The course will examine problems as well as solutions, in place and proposed, in both the public and private sector. It will explore not only on conflicts and imbalances, but on the possibilities for facilitation, enhancement, fit or integration of work and non-work life and to promote generally less stressed and healthier individuals, families, organizations and society. This will include analysis of various workplace flexibility programs, such as flextime, teleworking, paid or unpaid parental leave, part-time options and child-care, etc., and the role of informal organizational supports as well as federal and state laws and regulations. Being inter-disciplinary, the course will blend and contrast the research approaches and findings adopted in the fields of economics, sociology, industrial/organizational psychology, organizational behavior, human and family development, human resource management and labor and employment law.
