Program Handbook EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Department of Sociology and Criminology began its MA in Criminology and Public Sociology in fall 2007; the current program is an MA in Sociology and Criminology. The program focuses on providing students with the knowledge and skills to contribute to the discipline in both an applied setting as well as an academic environment. There are 19 faculty members who comprise our graduate faculty, which is defined as remaining active in research within the fields of sociology and criminology. About half of the current faculty in the Department of Sociology and Criminology are criminologists focusing specifically on crime and the criminal justice system and about half are sociologists focusing on other aspects of the social world. Although the primary disciplinary focus is sociology and criminology, the research interests of the faculty as well as graduate students in the program span other related areas as well including public administration, education, economics, social work, and psychology. Several minor curricular changes have been made over the last seven years; however, in 2014 the department agreed to rename the program to a Master of Arts in Sociology and Criminology. The purpose of the name change was to broaden our pool of applicants to those interested in a general sociology degree. It is also a better reflection of the work that is done in the department to include the area of general sociology, along with public sociology and criminology. With the program name change, members of the graduate faculty have begun discussions of necessary revisions to the core curriculum to accommodate the general sociology track. The MA program in Sociology and Criminology is unique in several ways. First, it is a combined program across these two disciplines and students take several core courses together as well as some electives. Second, it explicitly focuses on community-based application and scholarly engagement. The allows the substance and expertise of these disciplines to be shared with organizations, policy makers, agencies, and communities. The philosophy of this community-based approach is to bring the academic study of sociology and criminology directly to end users in practical ways that can both empower them and engage them in addressing practical problems. An immediate challenge for the program is to recruit and enroll enough students to meet the projected enrollment of 25 students per year. The program currently enrolls 18 full-time students. Other challenges include the need for increases in student support, facilities and personnel to maintain the quality of the program. 1 1. GRADUATE PROGRAM IN SOCIOLOGY & CRIMINOLOGY 1.1 General Characteristics and Brief History of the Department In July 1972, UNCW founded the Department of Sociology, offering a BA in Sociology. In 1989, a BA in Criminal Justice was added, with a subsequent name change in 2009 to a BA in Criminology. In 2007, we added an MA in Sociology and Criminology and we are proud to claim many accomplished alumni from our program. We have 19 faculty members who comprise our graduate faculty, which is defined as remaining research active within the fields of sociology and criminology. This faculty is committed to excellence in scholarship and teaching. A particular strength in our department is a public sociology and public criminology cluster that focuses on scholarly engagement in the region. The Department of Sociology and Criminology is committed to the mission and vision of the College of Arts and Sciences that focuses on “serving the betterment of the region, state, nation, and world.” We have been very fortunate in that the College supports our department by awarding both expansion lines and replacement lines as the needs arise. Since our graduate program was established in 2007, we have recruited and retained 9 new faculty members. Our recruitment efforts consistently emphasize the importance of contributing to the MA program during the screening and interview process. We believe this commitment to our graduate program enhances our capacity to recruit and retain excellent faculty to UNCW. The following reports on our Departmental mission statement, and Departmental goals. Mission Statement: The Department of Sociology and Criminology is committed to providing quality undergraduate liberal arts education for its students, producing new knowledge through scholarship and research, and performing service to its profession, the university, and community. As an academic unit within the College of Arts and Science, the primary department goal is the creation and transmission of knowledge through its two social science disciplines, sociology and criminology. To this end, the department's programs provide curricula that encourage critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, and an understanding of the social science perspective. Through various and innovative instructional modes, including technologically enhanced and web-based courses, individualized instructions, interdisciplinary curricula, distance learning, internships, and practice, the department seeks to fulfill the university's commitment to providing a quality learning experience for its students. Excellence in scholarship and research is also viewed as essential to providing an effective and meaningful educational environment. Performing service in the region from the special perspective of sociology and criminology and providing students with the professional training necessary for success in applied settings is also a basic department responsibility. The Department of Sociology and Criminology seeks to increase knowledge of human society from a global perspective and to enhance understanding of the various multicultural segments of American society. 1.2 General Characteristics of the MA Program The Department of Sociology and Criminology began its MA in Criminology and Public Sociology in fall 2007. The program focuses on providing students with the knowledge and skills to contribute to the discipline in both an applied setting as well as an academic environment. As the first MA program in Public Sociology in the nation, our program contributes to UNCW’s 2 mission through our scholarly community engagement. Moreover, our program provides students ample opportunity to engage in research activity alongside faculty in the department, thus contributing to their overall creative inquiry and critical thinking. Through professional conference presentations, peer-reviewed publications, and grant-writing, our students are well- versed in research practice. Furthermore, UNCW is devoted to student development in terms of personal and professional aspirations. We are committed to providing students enrolled in our MA program with the cutting edge disciplinary skills and tools to take back into their communities, their employment, and their families as well-rounded, professionally trained social scientists. Students are encouraged to develop observation and analytical skills. Graduates of our MA program have significant advantages for their career aspirations, whether they stay in this geographical region or move beyond southeastern North Carolina. Southeastern North Carolina is predominantly rural, with high rates of poverty, living wage concerns, job displacement and problems with affordable housing. The strengths of the faculty in the MA program focus on inequality (race, class, gender, and ability), community development and engagement and our courses reflect these areas of faculty expertise. Emphasis is placed on regional internships which address these longstanding social problems in the region and state. The region benefits from the application of students’ theoretical and methodological skills to that work. At present, the department has 19 faculty members who are deemed “graduate faculty” by the Graduate School at UNCW. Three members of the graduate faculty have joined the department in the last three years, and

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Teacher Training in Finland A Case Study A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education by Susan Maria Wiksten 2018 © Copyright by Susan Maria Wiksten 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Teacher Training in Finland A Case Study by Susan Maria Wiksten Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles Professor Carlos Alberto Torres, Chair This Ph.D. dissertation is a qualitative case study of a local discourse about teacher preparation in Finland. I have used structuration theory to analyze thirteen semi-structured, open-ended interviews. Participants were faculty and students in a graduate-level program preparing science teachers for upper secondary schools. Findings are presented as synthetic overviews of respondent articulations on six interview themes: (1) goals of teacher preparation, (2) the role of collaborative practices in teacher preparation, (3) the role of research in teacher preparation, (4) the role of critical thinking in teacher preparation, (5) different forms of knowledge and skills in teacher preparation, (6) the good teacher. The research contributes to research on pre-service teacher training. Notably, by articulating how context-specific culture and social norms contribute to a local variant of teacher preparation. Two characteristics of the discourse are ii identified as: (a) an emphasis on the role of theory for sound decisions in teaching practices, (b) a focus on the development of abstract thought in students. iii The dissertation of Susan Maria Wiksten is approved.

My goal as editor has always been to report on the various activities of the Institute as well as to provide something of the intellectual substance of our work. news, as such, has been combined with short essays, book reviews and excerpts, interviews with fellows about their research projects, and the like. A suggestion that it might be time to give INSight a new look led me to wonder if this might also be the moment to change more than the design. the Institute is going through a transition. As we have grown, we have felt the need to define more carefully and completely our intellectual program. the first step in this process is now complete. over the past two years, the faculty of the Institute has written a “vision statement” to express our understanding of culture, cultural analysis, and the times we live in. An excerpt from that statement appears in this issue, and the full statement will be published soon on our website. the next step will be to draft a report that specifies more concretely how this intellectual program will be carried out in our educational and research initiatives. It will be a work in progress, refined in the give and take of intellectual exchange and development.

Muschert* Miami University Abstract Studies of school shootings have been conducted in a variety of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, and media studies. However, to date there is no unified body of knowledge about such events. In an effort to synthesize past studies, and to orient future studies in school shootings, this article (i) offers a typology for understanding the varieties of school shooting incidents, including rampages, mass murders, terrorist attacks, targeted attacks, and government shootings; (ii) examines the mass media dynamic of school shootings; and (iii) presents a synthesis of the multilevel causes suggested in the research, including those on the individual, community, and social levels. Suggestions for future studies in school shootings are explored. Introduction School-related shootings, particularly those that are dramatic in nature, evoke strong public outcry, and justifiably so. Following an apparent spate of incidents occurring between 1997 and 2001, it seemed as if the USA was on the brink of a moral panic concerning delinquency and nihilistic youth culture. Since then, ‘Columbine has become a keyword for a complex set of emotions surrounding youth, risk, fear, and delinquency in 21st century America’ (Muschert 2007). One alarmist (Stein 2000) went so far as to label Columbine as a metaphor for a contemporary crisis of youth culture. Cutting through the hype and public emotion about school shooting, in the background social scientists have been at work in trying to tease out the varying dimensions of this phenomenon.

  • Introduction 1 Assessing International Relations Theory: Nonstate Actors
    Notes Introduction 1. The question of whether to use the phrase 'women's movement' or the plural 'women's movements' is a thorny one for academics and activists, especially with reference to the global level. To speak of a single women's movement may attribute too great a unity to what can be perceived only as a plurality of activities and approaches, diversified by class, culture, region and the like. Yet to speak of women's movements in the plural raises concerns about what, if any, commonality there is among these groups and whether it is possible to speak of them in a global context. I will be using the plural women's movements since it reflects the diversity among women while recognizing they may organize around common goals and concerns. 1 Assessing International Relations Theory: Nonstate Actors, Change and Gender 1. Michael Banks (1985) suggests three paradigms currently in existence: realism, pluralism and structuralism. I have chosen to separate world­ systems theory and its precursors from the work of Robert Cox and other critical or neo-Gramscian theorists since there is enough significant difference to warrant this. Both Mark Hoffman ( 1987) and Sandra Whitworth (1989) also make this distinction. 2. Cox (1986) goes further to argue that there is a significant difference between the classical realism of E.H. Carr which has a broader scope and could include social, economic and ideological factors, and neo-realism which has a much narrower focus and is a theoretical response to the Cold War. 3. Willetts includes women's groups as a subsection of communal groups because they are dealing with issues of group identity and status.

Theologically, their teachings are distinguished by an inward, loving devotion to a divine principle, and socially by an egalitarianism opposed to the qualitative distinctions of the Hindu caste system, and to those between Hindus and Muslims.[1] The sant lineage can be divided into two main groups: The northern group of Sants from the provinces of Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, who expressed themselves mainly in vernacular Hindi, and the southern group, whose language is archaic Marathi, represented by Namdev and other Sants of Maharashtra. Etymology The expression "Sant Mat" literally means the "Path of Sants (Saints)", "Path of Truth", "Right or Positive Path" or "point of view of the Sants." The term Sant is derived from the Sanskrit sat (सद) and has overlapping usages (true, real, honest, right).
