NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE STATUS OF THE DISCIPLINES FROM A NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE (INCLUDING EMERGING ISSUES AND TRENDS)
Our school recognizes and values the transferable skill sets learned in the liberal arts and we look forward to contributing to the College’s long-standing tradition of excellence in the liberal arts and sciences in keeping HSS as key participants in the College’s initiatives.
Each discipline within the humanities and social sciences has their own individual emerging issues and trends. Noted below is information pulled from each individual department/program reports. More information about each can be found in the appropriate individual reports.
Communication Communication research and education experienced rapid growth and institutional consolidation as an academic discipline in the second half of the twentieth century, and again in the past decade with the emergence of new technology used to communicate. Traditionally, the field is informed by the intellectual traditions of the humanities and social sciences, building on the ancient Greek arts of rhetoric, Page | 5
dialectic, aesthetics and poetics as well as psychology, anthropology, sociology and political science. Our theoretical foundation is built on the seven primary traditions of communication: rhetoric, semiotics, cybernetics, phenomenology, social psychology, sociocultural theory, and critical theory.
The discipline ranges in scope from the micro-analysis of individual behavior (e.g. information processing) to macro-analysis of communication at the institutional or societal level (e.g. organizational communication, international communication). Research in the discipline also utilizes various methods of inquiry including quantitative social science (e.g. media effects), critical and cultural studies (e.g. gender studies, media criticism), interpretive social science (e.g. social interaction), humanities (e.g. rhetorical studies), applied (e.g. journalism).
Because of the diversity of the discipline, it is difficult to identify emerging issues and trends that cut across all areas, but most scholars agree that the discipline will continue to have a distinctly applied focus with significant opportunities for funding research in the areas internationalization and global communication, media, health communication, ethics, and mediation and conflict resolution. We also anticipate ongoing discussion about the role of communication in the public sphere. As with all disciplines, the role of technology in shaping and changing the way we communicate is likely to remain an important topic.
English The past few years have seen intensified discussion over the value of a liberal arts degree, and educators from disciplines such as English, philosophy, art history, and almost any major that ends with the word “ tudies” have frequently found themselves on the defensive. While many professors still maintain that a college degree is not job training, that learning is an end in itself, this idealistic position has become less viable, or at least less persuasive, with recent dramatic increasess in college tuition. Responding to claims that states should support only pre-professional training at the college level, faculty and administrators point to evidence, such as the April 2013 AAC&U employer survey, suggesting that education in the liberal arts is solid job training. For example, the AAC&U survey shows that “eighty percent of employers agree that, regardless of their major, every college student should acquire broad knowledge in the liberal arts and sciences,” and that nearly all those surveyed (93%) agree, ‘a candidate’s demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems is more important than their undergraduate major’” (http://www.aacu.org/leap/presidentstrust/compact). If these findings do not promote liberal arts disciplines as majors, they at least affirm that what we in traditional fields such as English teach is valuable to employers. More encouraging evidence for the English major itself comes from a 2013 article by Bruna Martinuzzi, President of Clarion Enterprises, entitled “Why English Majors Are the Hot New Hires.” She breaks her answer down to a list of skills that English majors tend to bring to the workplace: communication, writing, researching, critical thinking, and empathy (https://www.americanexpress.com/us/smallbusiness/openforum/articles/why-english-majors-are-the-hot-new-hires/). Census data from a 2012 American Community Survey provides further reassurance for humanities and social sciences majors: their starting salaries, on average, lagged about $5,000 behind students with pre-professional majors, but those average salaries caught up over time, so that by their late 30s there was no difference, and in their late 50s and early 60s, HSS majors out-earned their professional counterparts. Page | 6
History There continues to be national concern about declining numbers of History majors. The other major topic of concern in national fora like the American Historical Association is the ongoing adjunctification of our discipline, both in terms of ongoing concern that contingent faculty do not best model what our discipline tries to teach and that contingent faculty are not treated very well (low salaries, late contracts, general disrespect in the workplace). On the positive side, History B.A.s remain highly employable. The most important developing trends in the discipline are 1) the emergence of public history as a significant new field and 2) ever-increasing stress on comparative and global history.
Political Science We have faculty from three primary disciplines in our department (political science, public administration, and geography). All three disciplines are united around common questions related to power and politics, and we provide our undergraduate and graduate students with a wide-range of tools to answer questions about the world we live in.
Since the majority of faculty reside in political science, this section will provide a few highlights of this discipline from a national perspective. The American Political Science Association (APSA) defines political science as “the study of governments, public policies and political processes, systems, and political behaviors.” Subsequently, APSA lists the following political science subfields: political theory, political philosophy, political ideology, political economy, policy studies and analysis, comparative politics, international relations, and several other related fields.
The APSA continues to be focused on ways to help improve public perceptions of political science’s value. The organization recently created a task force with many of the discipline’s leaders including John Sides, Professor at George Washington University and co-founder of the political blog, The Monkey Cage. The report provides a number of recommendations for how the discipline can “communicate its insights to a wide range of diverse constituencies using a dynamic collection of communicative strategies and technologies.” Many members of our department are supportive of this effort and committed to sharing research and insights with both scholarly and general audiences.
Psychology The American Psychological Association has long recognized the importance of undergraduate education. This national organization has developed (and continues to refine) a set of guidelines for the undergraduate major. Work on these guidelines (i.e., the APA UG Psychology Program Goals and Learning Objectives) has come about to addressed widespread concern about the quality of education at all levels in the United States, along with increasing pressure for accountability. Current best practices in higher education rely on setting clear expectations for student learning, aligning curricula with these expectations, assessing student attainment, and using assessment results to effect changes that promote better student learning (APA, 2007).
The following text was taken from… American Psychological Association (2007). APA guidelines for the undergraduate psychology major. Washington, DC: Author. Retrieved from www.apa.org/ed/resources.html Page | 7
“The APA Guidelines for the Undergraduate Psychology Major was developed to articulate a common set of outcomes. A baccalaureate degree in psychology should document that students have the ability to think scientifically about behavior, the skills related to the conduct of research, and the values that reflect psychology as both a science and an applied discipline. Variations in psychology’s academic organization in institutions of higher education across the country make it difficult to achieve consensus on learning goals and outcomes. In some colleges and universities, psychology is part of a school or college comprising the social sciences. In others, psychology is aligned with the natural sciences, the humanities, or education. In addition to having organizational diversity, psychology departments differ with respect to programmatic emphases, student characteristics, faculty expertise, and resources. Undergraduate programs vary— as they should—to meet local, state, and regional needs. Despite these differences, the BEA task force developed goals and outcomes that could be applied broadly across diverse educational contexts (e.g., campus-based programs, online instruction) in the context of liberal education at the undergraduate level. These guidelines were developed to aid in curriculum design, goal setting, and assessment planning for the psychology major.
In addition to providing guidance about what constitutes a high-quality undergraduate education for majors in psychology, the Guidelines responds to a number of other important related needs:
(1) The Guidelines firmly establishes the major as a science and reinforces a common identity within the discipline. Promoting psychology as a science is increasingly important given the enormous breadth of the discipline and the diversity of professional opportunities and psychological perspectives, including new interdisciplinary configurations. (2) The Guidelines describes a set of learning goals and outcomes for the psychology major. By making the expectations (outcomes) clear, the Guidelines serve as the basis for assessment plans. (3) Development of the Guidelines is an important step for the discipline and a means of contributing to a growing international effort to articulate goals and outcomes for the major. Dissemination and implementation of the Guidelines could also generate research on effective practices in undergraduate education in psychology. (4) Building on APA’s earlier efforts when approving the National Standards for the Teaching of High School Psychology (APA, 1999) and the revised National Standards for High School Psychology Curricula (APA, 2005), the Guidelines continues APA’s national focus on quality improvement. Completing expectations for appropriate education at the 4-year level adds an important piece of the overall education and training context in psychology (Benjamin, 2001). (5) The Guidelines provides a common set of outcomes that could aid in the development and evaluation of distance-learning courses and programs by promoting expectations for student learning.” (APA, 2007).
Public Health (BA) Undergraduate public health programs are significantly increasing in number. College of Charleston’s public health program was one of the first wave of new standalone baccalaureate programs. Job growth in this field is predicted to increase more than 20% in the next ten years. Page | 8
Religious Studies The field of religious studies now finds itself at a pivotal moment. An unprecedented confluence of world events, public perceptions, and educational insights has created exciting possibilities for the growth and re-imagining of the field—possibilities that were unthinkable even a decade ago. The current moment presents important opportunities for the academic study of religion, and poses a series of challenges too. At a time when the humanities have become a less and less significant part of higher education (e.g. as recently reported by Harvard in The Teaching of the Arts and Humanities at Harvard), teaching about religions and encouraging students to lead value-rich, meaningful lives may seem less appealing for students today, who are preoccupied with the tough economic climate and drawn to degrees that will serve them in the vocational marketplace. Religious Studies also suffers from being a relative latecomer to the liberal arts curriculum; the discipline enjoys neither the “self-evidence” nor the institutional authority of the older disciplines in the humanities like Philosophy or English. Moreover, very few students come to college with any exposure to comparative religions courses in high school that might pique their curiosity.
One challenge that the White Paper does not adequately address is how to market religious studies in terms of its utility to administrators beyond its value to general education, to students who are considering it for their major, and to their parents. The utility of knowledge and analytical competencies in regard to religion in the global world is not only a matter of general education. Religious studies competencies can be a core component in cross-cultural understanding and the management of related challenges, something which is in demand no matter whether you are a journalist, a policeman, a nurse, a doctor, a politician, a diplomat, a civil servant, and so on. All of these vocations need at least some persons with religious studies based competencies; all of them need in-service training about religion as a human and social phenomenon and about those areas of their profession where religion may surface.
The academic study of religion prepares students for jobs related to “religion-in-relation,” that is, to a job that involves monitoring and solving cultural and religious differences and challenges in a globalized and increasingly multi-cultural and multi-religious world. Religious studies can help provide our democratic and pluralist society with competent citizens, who are capable of analyzing and critically assessing religious values and traditions, and the public discourse on religion that permeates our politics today. In an increasingly interconnected, if not always cosmopolitan world, openness to fresh ways for framing problems is the order of the day.
Efforts to improve the major in religious studies and to strengthen its links to the goals of liberal education and to citizenship in a pluralist democracy are anything but purely academic.
Sociology and Anthropology Sociology: Nationally, the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded in Sociology has been on a steady upward climb since the late 1980s with 33, 920 undergraduate degrees conferred in sociology in 2014. This is lower than the peak of 35,915 undergraduate sociology degrees conferred in 1974 but the upward trajectory in recent years is a promising sign of the health of the discipline today (http://www.asanet.org/research-publications/research-sociology/trends-sociology). Approximately 53% of sociology programs offering a bachelor’s degree only were located in departments combining sociology with one or more other disciplines. Page | 9
The American Sociology Association (ASA) conducts a longitudinal survey of a national sample of graduates from undergraduate sociology programs. In its last follow-up survey, the ASA found that 80 percent of sociology graduates were employed within 18 months of graduation (the ASA is currently conducting a new survey of recent sociology graduates so more recent data will be available within the next few years). Those recent graduates who were employed worked in a diverse range of fields including as counselors in the social services sector (27%), in administrative support positions (16%), as managers (14%), teachers or librarians (8%), in positions within miscellaneous service industries (8%) (e.g., police officer, crime scene technician or probation officer), in sales and marketing (10%), as social science researchers (6%), and in public relations/information technology/other fields (11%). According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the unemployment rate for 25- to 29-year-old bachelor degree recipients in sociology had dropped from 5.5% in 2010 to 3.5% in 2015.
Anthropology: The American Anthropological Association reports an increase in the number of undergraduate degrees in Anthropology and Archaeology from 9,595 in 2003 to 11,128 in 2012. This increase represents a .29% growth in Anthropology and Archaeology’s share of all undergraduate social science degrees in the United States. In light of state budget cuts across the country, the American Anthropological Association surveyed 512 anthropology departments in the spring of 2011 to determine how diminished state funding was impacting these departments. Two hundred and nineteen (43% response rate) of the departments responded to the survey and only 12 percent reported a perceived threat to cuts in anthropology faculty or program elimination. However, when distinguishing between public and private institutions, the survey found that 20.5 percent of anthropology departments at public institutions—compared to 9.6% of anthropology departments at private institutions—expressed concern that their departments or programs were in threat of being downsized or eliminated. The expressed threat was highest among departments that award an Associate’s degree only, followed by those departments that award a MA degree only, Bachelor’s degree only and doctoral degree, respectively.
Urban Studies Urban Studies and Urban/City/Regional planning continues to be both a career option and academic field of study that is growing. For the purposes of this report, I contacted Margaret Wilder, the Executive Director of the Urban Affairs Association to inquire about the growth in academic programs in Urban Studies over the past year. Though she did not know of any formal reports on trends in Urban Studies and Planning academic programs, she did state that in the past 10 years there have been “at least 5-6 new undergrad programs established nationally which I believe is a decent rate of growth for an interdisciplinary field.” I agree with her. Also, one of these new programs is proposed in South Carolina – at the University of South Carolina, Upstate. Several concerns about the rationale put forward by the proposers of this new program regarding its need in South Carolina, as well as their claims that it did not overlap/duplicate CofC’s program, were communicated to Lynn Cherry.
The professional field of Urban Planning is not one that is in decline. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts steady growth into the future. In addition, in the book titled Becoming an Urban Planner, which is published by the American Planning Association, the authors devote a chapter to the type of education that students interested in planning should seek. According to the authors, the best education for planners is one that helps the student to think holistically about problems and solutions, seeing all sides of an issue and recognizing Page | 10
how things are interconnected in cities and their surrounding area. The authors then go on to recommend course work in: Environmental Studies, Economics, Art and design, Geography, Ethnic studies, Sociology, and Government / Political Science. In effect, the authors recommend an interdisciplinary education, and exactly the one that Urban Studies at CofC provides.
Women’s and Gender Studies According to the National Women’s Studies Association (NWSA):
Our commitments are to: illuminate the ways in which women’s studies are vital to education; to demonstrate the contributions of feminist scholarship that is comparative, global, intersectional and interdisciplinary to understandings of the arts, humanities, social sciences and sciences; and to promote synergistic relationships between scholarship, teaching and civic engagement in understandings of culture and society. Today the field’s interrogation of identity, power, and privilege go far beyond the category “woman." Drawing on the feminist scholarship of U.S. and Third World women of color, women’s studies has made the conceptual claims and theoretical practices of intersectionality, which examines how categories of identity (e.g., sexuality, race, class, gender, age, ability, etc.) and structures of inequality are mutually constituted and must continually be understood in relationship to one another, and transnationalism, which focuses on cultures, structures and relationships that are formed as a result of the flows of people and resources across geopolitical borders, foundations of the discipline (www.nwsa.org/about).
At the College of Charleston, the Women’s and Gender Studies program (WGS) is a campus leader in offering students an interdisciplinary education focusing on intersectionality and transnationalism.
PROGRAM
MISSION STATEMENT In the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), we are teacher-scholars committed to the study of human nature and human creations. We seek to deepen our understanding of history and literature, inquire into the character of cultures and societies, broaden our understanding of human behavior, and support the value of ethical and moral reflection.
Our HSS teacher-scholars cultivate in students skills for creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and superior written and oral communication skills. We also engage these students in activities that prepare them for productive civic engagement, global citizenship, understanding of different global perspectives and learning as a lifelong pursuit. Studies in HSS provide students with transferrable skills that serve students in a variety of careers across a lifespan. Page | 11
STRATEGIES AND TACTICS IN THE COLLEGE’S STRATEGIC PLAN OUR SCHOOL WOULD PLACE AS HIGHEST PRIORITY • Academic excellence that furthers intellectual, creative, ethical and social development through a broad range of programs centered on the liberal arts and sciences.
• Student-focused community that embraces mutual respect, collaboration and diversity for the welfare of the individual and the institution.
• The history, traditions, culture and environment of Charleston and the Lowcountry that foster distinctive opportunities for innovative academic programs and relationships that advance our public mission in the city of Charleston, the state of South Carolina and the world.
SCHOOL GOALS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO THE COLLEGE’S STRATEGIC PLAN/STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES HSS Teacher-Scholars cultivate in students the skills of creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and writing to discover, activities that prepare students for productive civic engagement, understanding of different global perspectives, and learning as a life-long pursuit.
In order to achieve its envisioned future, the College has identified the following four goals that will enable it to combine the personalized, student focus of a small teaching institution with the breadth of curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular opportunities of a research university.
Goal 1: Provide students a highly personalized education based on a liberal arts and sciences core and enhanced by opportunities for experiential learning.
Goal 2: Develop or enhance nationally recognized undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs in areas that take advantage of our history, culture, and location in Charleston and contribute to the wellbeing of the region.
Goal 3: Provide students the global and interdisciplinary perspectives necessary to address the social, economic, ethical, scientific, and political issues of the twenty-first century.
Goal 4: Establish and promote a vibrant campus life atmosphere dedicated to education of the whole person through integration of curricular and co- or extra-curricular activities.

NARRATIVE SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS OF SCHOOL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
CURRICULAR OFFERS UNUSUAL FOR YOUR PROGRAM Communication Our curriculum is unique from beginning to end. Students take a two-semester course sequence focused on speaking and writing, after completing their three introductory semester-long courses, Media in the Digital Age, Principles and Practices in Strategic Communication, and Communication, Identity, and Community. In addition to a required course in Communication Research Methods, students select from a variety of topically-based courses at the 300 and 400 levels, before finishing the major with a two-semester capstone sequence.
As an integrated communication program, we offer courses in multiple areas of the discipline. Some of the more unique offerings of 2016- 2017 were: . Ethical Communication: Ethics in Leadership . Ethical Communication: Digital Media Ethics . Ethical Communication: Civic Engagement Page | 16
. Addressing Problems in Context: Religion and Communication . Addressing Problems in Context: International Communication . Addressing Problems in Context: Health Communication . Addressing Problems in Context: Sport and Society . Addressing Problems in Context: Social Communication . Addressing Problems in Context: Strategic Communication Management . Analysis of Communication Practice: Social Marketing . Analysis of Communication Practice: Communication and Sports . Analysis of Communication Practice: Family Communication . Analysis of Communication Practice: Health, Science and the Media
This year, we taught eight sections of our two-semester capstone course with tremendous success. We highlighted the research conducted by these students at our Spotlight on Scholarship in April. This spring, we continued our highly competitive capstone selection process. Seven capstone sections scheduled for Fall 2016 and descriptions were circulated to all qualified students. These students were then invited to apply and rank their most preferred capstone sections. Faculty teaching the courses reviewed applications and rank ordered students for their course. Faculty then met and “drafted” students into their course based on both student and faculty member preference. Students were evaluated based on their experience and background with the subject matter of the course, internships, related work experience, volunteer work, and academic performance. Although all students eligible students were placed in a capstone course, this competitive process rewards our most accomplished students, who participate curricular and co-curricular work that enables them to stand out in the application process. Students who are not satisfied with the capstone in which they were placed were allowed to put themselves on a wait list in case a spot opens in the class they prefer. Capstone topics for Fall 2016 included the Leadership Labyrinth, Strategic Communication Campaigns, Training and Development, Media and the Senses, and the ever-popular Wired and Inspired course. This year, we again offered a study abroad capstone option, in which students spent the spring semester learning and preparing on campus, and a summer semester traveling and learning overseas.
English Curricular offerings unusual for your discipline: These are a few examples of innovative courses taught in 2016-17.
ENGL 360: The Future Perfect Human Students in Prof. Myra Seaman’s course considered how conceptions of the nonhuman and the superhuman influence our attitudes toward the human---and what those conceptions can teach us about the human in its contemporary, past, and future varieties. (Fall 2016)
ENGL 466: Writing the History of English at C of C Prof. Chris Warnick’s Senior Seminar focused on archival research, as students explored student and faculty publications at the College (such as Miscellany, Chrestomathy, and Crazyhorse) as well as the English Department’s recorded history. The course also emphasized writing and publishing for new media. (Fall 2016) Page | 17
ENGL 351 (Studies in American Film): The Myth of the Road in American Film This Film Studies course taught by Prof. Colleen Glenn examined the mythical power of “the road” in American culture and its representation in cinema, from Westerns such as Stagecoach (1939) through modern road movies such as Easy Rider (1969) and Thelma and Louise (1994). (Spring 2017)
ENGL 364: From Hip Hop to Barack: 21st-Century African- American Literature Prof. Tara Bynum’s course examined the meaning of African- American literature through writers from the late 20th and 21st centuries. Instead of focusing solely on the ways in which this literature emerges within history, she and her students addressed the various ways in which poets, rappers, and other authors tackle issues of race, sexuality, gender, and class within specific literary forms. (Spring 2017)
History The department’s one important initiative is to add public history courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. They are being received much more enthusiastically at the graduate level than among undergraduates, so our response is currently twofold: 1) we are working to educate undergrads in what public history is and how a course in the area can serve them and 2) we are developing graduate education in public history. To that end, our public historian Dr. Donaldson has headed a committee to craft an emphasis area in public history for our M.A. program, which I hope will receive full department approval at the Fall 2017 retreat. We are also working to respond to students’ growing unwillingness to take 300-level courses by converting 300-level courses where possible to the 200 level, and by creating more appealing options for students.
Philosophy The department offers a major, a minor, and a concentration in Politics, Philosophy, and the Law. This year, Philosophy faculty offered 47 sections. The majority of this instructional effort supports general education, with about 75% of PHIL sections (35/47) counting for general education credit. Many of these courses also support interdisciplinary programs. The following table summarizes our teaching effort.

Public Health (BA) The public health program is an interdisciplinary program which brings together multiple departments across the schools of EHHP and HSS. Every public health major is required to complete coursework in public health, communication and biology as well as selecting from a wide variety of options including political science, environmental science, philosophy, psychology, sociology, anthropology, urban studies, and history. This program offers the students an opportunity to create a personalized education experience through a unique combination of coursework, as well as, internship experiences within the public health community.
Political Science Our curriculum attempts to balance required courses with a range of options for students to customize their learning. Some of our unique offerings include classes on Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Terrorism, the U.S. Intelligence Community, and Sustainability. In 2016-2017, we approved an optional “Public Policy” concentration for our majors. This concentration will provide our students specific policy related skills.
We are fortunate to have several practitioners teaching in our program. For example, former Central Intelligence Agency employee Dr. Mary Desjeans teaches classes on Terrorism and U.S. National Security for the department. Two local attorneys, David Aylor and Rhett Dunaway teach POLI 203 (Criminal Justice).
We also remain focused on assessment and continue to improve our department’s assessment procedures. All students are required to take a Capstone class, giving them an opportunity to integrate material from other courses and complete an original research project. It is also important to note that our concentration in Politics, Philosophy, and the Law continues to grow with 112 declared students.
Psychology The Psychology Department has 22 tenure-track faculty members with diverse training backgrounds. Accordingly, we are able to offer a variety of courses that prepare students for diverse educational and vocational goals. This includes coursework in every major area in which one can earn a Ph.D. in Psychology (e.g., Clinical, Cognitive, Social and Personality, Developmental, Experimental, Quantitative, Conditioning and Learning, Neuroscience, and Industrial/Organizational). In addition, we offer specialized coursework within each of the aforementioned areas. For example, within the clinical area of specialization we offer coursework in Scientific Foundations of Clinical Psychology, Clinical Neuropsychology, Applied Behavior Analysis, Childhood Psychopathology, and Special Topics in Counseling and Psychotherapy. Although the coursework above is common to many large universities with graduate programs, our breadth of coursework is unusual for psychology departments that offer the undergraduate degree only. The size and diversity of our faculty and course offerings provide students with training experiences that exceed most undergraduate only programs and rival those of large, R1 institutions. Page | 19
The specialized and advanced laboratory coursework offered by the Department of Psychology is relatively unique to most psychology programs across the country (large and small). While most programs offer foundational coursework in laboratory (i.e., research) training (as do we), our program offers additional coursework beyond a generic and general introduction to research. We make use of our faculty’s expertise and offer a variety of interesting special topic courses (examples for this AY: Altered States of Consciousness, Preventing and Treating Family Violence, the Psychology of Aging, the Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination, and the Psychology of Social Change) and interdisciplinary coursework (described below). We also offered advanced topics courses on Child Development and Family Issues, Behavioral Genetics, Brain Development, and Interpersonal Relationships. As a more detailed example of the unique focus of our advanced courses, our upper-level interpersonal relationship course examined various orientations to the study of interpersonal relationships, including interdependence, attachment, evolutionary-biological, and cognitive – and explored issues such as physical attraction, trust, intimacy, love, and commitment. Our child development and family issues course focused on developmental tasks that children are confronted with throughout childhood and consider how parenting practices, family relationships (i.e., parent-child interactions, marital/co-parenting processes, and sibling interactions), structural variables (i.e., divorce, remarriage), and diverse family contexts impact children’s competence across multiple domains.
We also have developed advanced laboratory coursework in each core area of Psychology (e.g., Cognitive, Developmental, Social, and Neuroscience) and have integrated this coursework into our curriculum as a Capstone experience for BS students. In addition to advanced training in research design and interpretation, students receive training in a variety of specialized laboratory techniques (e.g., electrophysiological recording, histology, fluorescent microscopy, and experimental software programming) that typically are not available to students until they enter graduate studies. Additionally, our extraordinary commitment to animal research is unique to programs offering only the undergraduate degree. We offer research training opportunities using a variety of animal models including rodents (rat and mice), pigeons, amphibians, and invertebrates.
Finally, our faculty also routinely develop a range of unique first year experiences to peak first-year students’ interest in psychological science and neuroscience. This year psychology faculty developed first-year experiences focusing on the zombie (and non-zombie) brain, Jack the Ripper, Harry Potter, and psychological science and the media. We also often develop topics courses for the Honors College. This year, we developed and taught an honors course that focused altered states of consciousness from an interdisciplinary perspective and examined how different disciplines (e.g. religion vs. psychological science) understand altered states of consciousness—what they are, how they are achieved, and what their potential value to human life could be.
Religious Studies Curricular offerings that are unusual for religious studies from 2016-2017 include a special topics class on “Goddesses in World Religion,” which investigated the roles that goddesses have played in the history of religions and some modern alternative religious movements which have goddesses or divinized female founders. Another special topics class was “The Spirit of Sustainability,” which, by examining, sustainability from the context of religious ethics and spiritual activism, fit in well to C of C’s new QEP. Page | 20
An Honors class on “The Virtuous Life” led students to examine the nature of various religious ethical traditions by using a narrative approach—both ancient and contemporary myths and stories—as the point of departure for the study of the ethical traditions of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Another honors class on “Becoming American” asked the questions: “What is America? What does it mean to be "American?" How does one "become" American? This course engaged with these questions from the vantage points of three communities - African Americans, Catholics, and Jews - which have been characterized at different times as outsiders and as the epitome of the American Dream.
Our topical introductory class (RELS 101) was taught in a variety of provocative ways: one course surveyed a broad range of cultural and religious views of the afterlife, ranging from the Judeo-Christian traditions in Europe, Buddhism in India, and Daoist and Confucian views in China, and it included recent scientific investigations of post-mortem life, near death experiences and past life memories. “Messiahs and Messianic Movements” is another atypical introductory course that examines messiah-like figures in the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) as well as in Buddhism. This topic introduces students to varying views about the end of the world and future utopias, and what happens to communities when prophecies fail and messiahs never materialize. Another RELS 101 section focused on the multiple relations between religion and terrorism, by analyzing a selection of case studies taken from different times, cultures, and social and political contexts including Japanese Buddhism, evangelical Christianity, and Wahhabi Islam.
Our introductory level courses are also quite popular because they provide interdisciplinary surveys of “Religion, Art and Culture” (one such course explored the relationship between music and religion in American culture) or “Religion & Society” which examined Hinduism and Buddhism, and how they have shaped the societies of India and Tibet, in particular the religious and political reforms of Mahatma Gandhi and the Dalai Lama. Another “Religion & Society” course examined religious ideas and practices from across the African diaspora that gave rise to the African American political tradition known as “black nationalism.”
Other courses in 2016-17 ranged over diverse topics, including comparative religious ethics, the Jewish tradition, Native American religions, Western Esotericism, the New Testament, and New Religious Movements, as well as multidisciplinary theory and method.
One of the requirements of some courses is that they take advantage of the religious history and diversity that exists in our “Holy City,” which turns Charleston into a living laboratory. Faculty make field trips or require that their students visit local churches, mosques and synagogues in Charleston, e.g. to Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim, to the new Hindu temple in West Ashley or the Tibetan Buddhist center. Some students ventured further outside of Charleston to visit, Oyotunji Yoruba Village in Beaufort; Springbank, a Roman Catholic retreat center with an ecological focus in Kingstree SC; the Trappist retreat center of Mepkin Abby in Moncks Corner; or the Meher Baba Spiritual Center in Myrtle Beach. (Note: these latter four were class trips, the latter two of which involved staying a night on-site. Funding was provided by the Wabash Grant (see Appendix A for more details).
One special topic course offered during Summer 2016 focused on “Nature Spirituality, Ecotopia, and Applied Ecovillage Living.” This course began in Charleston with an introduction to the ethical motivations that bring humans together to create utopian communities. Students participated in a week-long field trip to Earthhaven Ecovillage in Black Mountain North Carolina, outside of Asheville. Students lived on-site for one week, participating in hands-on learning modules about permaculture, organic farming, alternative building Page | 21
construction, nature spirituality, alternative energy, and other aspects of sustainable homesteading in the Appalachian Mountains. This experimental and high impact study away course is also cross-listed with ENVT and URST.
Also during Summer 2016, we offered a study abroad program that immersed students in the Himalayan culture of North India, and students learned about environmental change, local and refugee political communities, and the religious diversity of Ladakh and Dharamsala. The first part of the program took place in Leh, the political, religious, and tourist hub of Ladakh, which is an exciting laboratory for examining the cross-cultural encounter of western travelers, Indian tourists, Tibetan exiles, and local Ladakhis. The group then travelled to Dharamsala, the current home of the Dalai Lama and the seat of the Tibetan government in exile, where they met with Tibetan refugees and community leaders. Finally, they spent the last few days in India’s capital of Delhi, where they visited some of India’s largest modern religious institutions, including the Baha’i Lotus Temple, the Hare Krishna Temple, and the Jama Masjid. Students in our India program enrolled in two classes-- RELS 298-002: Special Topics: Encountering Religions and Globalization in the Indian Himalaya (now RELS 215) taught by Zeff Bjerken and INTL 290/ ENVT 352 - International Development & Environmental Justice in the Himalaya—taught by Amberjade Taylor, a former religious studies major.
Urban Studies The Urban Studies Program currently houses the Student Ambassador Program, which is a sequenced, 3 year credit-bearing immersion experience in urban policy, planning, and service activities in the Charleston area. The first class of ambassadors to participate in this program will complete mentorships in the Fall 2017 semester.
The Urban Studies Program is currently proposing the creation of an accelerated BA to MA Program between the Urban Planning and Administration Concentration and the Public Administration Program. If approved, this accelerated Program will be the 3rd of its kind at the College and the first within the School of Humanities and Social sciences. The anticipated start date for this program is Fall 2018.
INSTRUCTIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO OTHER UNITS, PROGRAMS, AND INITIATIVES Faculty in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences make significant contributions to other units, programs, and initiatives. Individual examples of contributions are noted in the department’s/program’s annual report.

In addition to administrative roles in non-HSS programs, our faculty contribute significantly to non-HSS College of Charleston units, programs and initiatives. Of all credit hours outside of HSS, our faculty taught 2.4% (n=3612) of the hours in the fall and 1.5% (n=2177) of the hours in the spring. Of all credit hours generated in HSS in AY16-17, our HSS faculty generated 91.9% (n=40,845) in the fall and 94.8% (39,559) in the spring.
Compared to the other academic schools, HSS faculty made the greatest contributions to Honors and First Year Experience in both fall and spring semesters. In Honors, our faculty contributed 35.7% (n=962) of the total credit hours generated in the fall and 11.1% (n=488) of the total credit hours generated in the spring. In First Year Experience, our faculty contributed 38.9% (n=2,203) of the total credit hours generated in the fall and 12.8% (n=1,098) of the total credit hours generated in the spring.

DEPARTMENTAL OR PROGRAM CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERDISCIPLINARY, INTERNATIONALIZATION/GLOBALIZATION, PERSONALIZED EDUCATION AND HIGH IMPACT STUDENT EXPERIENCES
HSS faculty recorded three activities in the “Innovations in Teaching” section of the FAS report. For more information, see the “Supporting Data” section towards the bottom of the report.
Communication The Department of Communication offers a wide variety of options for students to participate in interdisciplinary, internationalization/globalization, personalized education and high impact student experiences. Examples include internships, study abroad, departmental spring break and Maymester trips, and our involvement in the Public Health curriculum. Page | 27
Also, Tom Martin, executive-in-Residence in the Department, and his wife, Wanda, created the Martin Scholars Program in spring 2016. The program develops a select group of 10 senior communication majors through a combination of exposure to effective communication leaders who serve as mentors and teachers, networking opportunities with Communication alumni and the Department of Communication Advisory Council members, and experiential learning.
Tom Martin’s top priorities are improving students’ writing skills and decision-making skills so that they are ready to navigate the real world strategically, ethically and credibly. He also encourages students to focus on giving back, and leads a spring break networking trip for students to Washington, D.C. and New York City (see below). And he and Wanda, who serves as a literacy tutor with the Reading Partners at James Simons Elementary, are leading by example. The Martins believe that one of the most important forces shaping a progressive society is the mentoring of future generations by parents, teachers, coaches, employers and others who encourage and inspire great things.
The Department hosts an annual Spring Break Trip for students to visit and connect with industry leaders in New York and DC. This weeklong experience, led by Tom Martin, is designed to enhance student understanding of the communication profession by offering a series of tours, presentations and networking events in the Washington, DC and New York markets.
The department offered three different study abroad trips this year. Drs. Celeste Lacroix and Robert Westerfelhaus took 18 undergraduate students to Prague, Czech Republic; Salzburg, Austria, and Florence, Italy. Dr. Merissa Ferrara and Mrs. Valarie Wright, MA, took a group of undergraduate students and one graduate student to Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Greece. One of the three abroad experiences was a trip to Costa Rica for communication and public health students led by Dr. Merissa Ferrara over spring break.
English English Dept. faculty members are affiliated with several interdisciplinary programs in the Schools of Humanities and Social Sciences and Languages, Cultures, and World Affairs. We host two study-abroad programs: under Prof. Bret Lott’s direction, College of Charleston students (primarily English majors) have studied in Spoleto, Italy, for the past eight years. Professors Joe Kelly and Colleen Glenn traveled with students to Ireland in 2016 (summer), continuing a program Kelly has developed over several years. The English Dept. is also part of a British Studies Consortium that organizes study abroad in London; Prof. Tim Carens is our liaison and occasionally teaches in the program.
Civic Engagement: Prof. Kathy Beres-Rogers and Prof. Silvia Hanna (Academic Advising/Psychology) have continued to develop their “Healing Narratives” course as a learning community and team-taught endeavor. Prof. Jesslyn Collins-Frohlich has developed a service learning section of HONS 110 and forged a partnership with East Cooper Habitat for Humanity. She has been worked with the Honors College to make service learning more integral to their first-year experience. Finally, Prof. William Russell, in partnership with Prof. Bryan Ganaway of the Honors College, created a new program in spring 2017 for area veterans; the program, “Bridging Between,” features discussions of poetry about war and its aftermath for veterans. Page | 28
Students in creative writing classes and ENGL 380: Literary Magazine Production and Publishing learn what it means to write fiction and poetry for publication, and many of those students publish in the award-winning undergraduate magazine Miscellany. Eighteen undergraduate English majors and 5 English MA students engaged in field internships in the 2016-17 academic year and summer of 2017. The department directed 14 independent studies, tutorials, and bachelor’s essays to undergraduate students in 2016-17, along with 4 independent studies and tutorials at the graduate level. These numbers are consistent with those of recent years.
History The history department makes a large contribution to interdisciplinary programs at CofC, its faculty serving on the steering committees of or directing most of the interdisciplinary programs and students in interdisciplinary programs making up a significant number of the total in a number of our classes. Members of our faculty also led study abroad courses in Ireland, Germany, France, and England in 2016–2017. The number of high impact student experiences was quite limited compared to some years, in part because a number of independent studies mentored by History faculty were credited to other programs (such as Women’s and Gender Studies or European Studies). In 2016–2017, History faculty conducted three undergraduate independent studies, three internships, four senior papers, and one bachelor’s essay.
Philosophy In addition to teaching FYE and HONS courses, philosophy faculty also teach a range of courses that support interdisciplinary majors and minors. Twenty-eight of our regular catalog courses support at least one interdisciplinary program. This year, we offered 16 sections (10 different courses) in support of interdisciplinary programs. More than one third (34%) of the sections supported at least one other program. In total, we supported 11 other programs during the 2016-17 academic year: Business Administration Classics Crime, Law and Society Environmental Studies European Studies International Studies Jewish Studies Linguistics Neuroscience Public Health Urban Studies
Combining our contributions to HONS, FYE, and interdisciplinary programs, 56% of our sections (32/57) supported other programs.
Personalized education and high impact student experiences: All majors complete a seminar where they work intensively with an instructor to complete a significant, independent research paper. Many students choose to undertake additional high impact experiences. This year, PHIL faculty supervised 7 independent student projects (2 Bachelor’s essays and 5 tutorials). While the absolute numbers are modest, a large fraction of our Page | 29
graduates benefit from high impact experiences. Nearly 50% of our 2017 graduates (7/16) benefited from high-impact research experience with faculty. The department encourages a few of our best students to participate in faculty reading groups, such as Jonathan Neufeld’s Aesthetics Work Group.
Political Science The department embodies interdisciplinary, with three geography PhDs in rank, and a geography minor. As mentioned above, the department also contributes to a number of interdisciplinary programs across the College. We provide the core faculty for the MPA program and make substantial contributions to the MES program. In addition, the department makes important contributions to the Latin America and Caribbean Studies, International Studies, African Studies, Asian Studies, European Studies, Public Health, Environmental Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, among others.
The department is committed to providing an international perspective to students and the larger College community. The primary area of expertise for five of our tenure line faculty is international or comparative politics. We also have geographers in our department who study the process of globalization. As mentioned above, we are strong supporters of the College’s study abroad efforts. Our faculty led study abroad trips to Germany/France/Luxembourg/Belgium, Vietnam/Cambodia and Morocco in summer 2016, and have coordinated the College’s fall semester program in Trujillo, Spain since 2011.
Personalized education and high impact student experiences are hallmarks of the Department of Political Science. In 2016-2017, our faculty taught 9 “special topics” courses, supervised 20 independent study projects and 8 Bachelor’s Essays. Our faculty also engaged students outside the classroom. For example, Dr. Hollis France took her Maymester Capstone students to John’s Island to learn more about migrant workers and to Meggett to visit Swimming Rockfish Farm. Dr. Annette Watson took her GEOG 219 (Reading the Lowcountry Landscape) class to a number of places including I’on Village, Remley’s Point, and Folly Beach. In addition, Dr. Brian Fisher taught a number of innovative classes connecting students with sustainability issues on campus and across the Lowcountry.
Psychology Like many other Psychology departments at leading liberal arts and sciences institutions, we offer foundational coursework in research training. However, unlike nearly every other psychology department (including those at large research universities), we offer specialized and advanced laboratory coursework that afford students opportunities to apply knowledge and skills that they have acquired during previous coursework in the major. We have developed advanced laboratory coursework in each core area of Psychology (e.g., Cognitive, Developmental, Social, and Neuroscience). In addition to advanced training in research design and interpretation, students receive training in a variety of specialized laboratory techniques (e.g., electrophysiological recording, histology, fluorescent microscopy, and experimental software programming) that typically are not available to students until they enter graduate studies. Additionally, our extraordinary commitment to animal research is unique to programs offering only the undergraduate degree. We offer research training opportunities using a variety of animal models including rodents (rat and mice), pigeons, fish, amphibians, and most recently, invertebrates. Page | 30
To facilitate these sorts of high impact experiences for our students (and in line with our strategic plan), we established a new Director of Experiential Learning in our Department. With the Dean’s approval, this position will design and implement a range of our intentionally crafted experiences, such as our FYER course (see below), a seminar for our BE students, and other high-impact learning opportunities. Jenn Wilhelm will serve in this position in AY 2017-18.
In AY 2016-17, we also developed a new experiential learning course entitled PSYC 198: Research Experience in Psychological Science. This course will be offered beginning in fall 2017. We developed this course because of increasing demand among a subset of our freshmen and sophomore majors (and other interested students), particularly those in the Honor’s College, to acquire high-impact research experience during their first two years at the College. Existing independent study and bachelors essay mechanisms (PSYC 498, 499) require that students have at least junior standing and a 3.00 GPA. At present, talented undergraduates who begin gaining laboratory experience during their first two years do so on a volunteer basis. The new PSYC 198 course formalizes this experience.
In AY 2016-17, we taught for the third time a first-year experience research (FYER) rotation in our psychology labs. The course was team- taught by six psychology faculty members who brought students into their labs and engaged them in the tools, techniques, theories, and applications of research in their area of psychology. Students were exposed to faculty/labs in behavioral neuroscience, social psychology, developmental science, cognitive psychology, and quantitative psychology. By all measures, the course was a success and the Department plans to offer the FYE again in spring 2018. Demonstrating our faculty’s commitment to inspiring first-year students to consider psychology as a major, faculty members teach in this course do so on a volunteer basis and do not receive a stipend or course credit. We’ve found that many of these students end up working in one or more of our psychology laboratories, demonstrating the useful of this experience of peaking students’ interest in the research process and encouraging them to get involved in research early in their undergraduate careers.
Finally, to serve as a culminating experience for our students engaged in research activities, we held our annual Student Activities Research Day (SARD) event. During the event, which is held late in the spring semester, students are recognized for winning departmental, HSS, and college-wide awards and are given framed certificates and books signed by all psychology faculty in recognition of their accomplishments. Also, all Bachelor’s Essay and many Independent Studies students give oral presentations of their research with faculty, followed by a poster session of additional student/faculty collaborative research. This year, SARD included 4 oral presentations and 20 poster presentations.
The Department of Psychology has a structured internship course: PSYC 397 Internship Experience. This course is offered on a competitive basis to junior and senior psychology majors with an overall GPA of 3.0 and a psychology GPA of 3.0. The internship experience course provides students interested in the application of psychological theories and principles an opportunity to have an applied learning experience in a pre-approved agency or organization. The learning experience is guided by an individualized learning contract which specifies the academic and work components of the experience. This academic year, our Internship Coordinator, Adam Doughty, supervised a total of 27 interns across 13 sites. These sites were the National Crimes Victim Center at MUSC, the EMPOWERR Page | 31
program at MUSC, the WINGS program, Dee Norton Lowcountry Children’s Center, the Florence Crittenton Home, Carolina Coast Behavioral Services, Bishop Gadsden Retirement Community, the Be A Mentor program, Carolina Autism Resources and Evaluation Center, the Lowcountry Autism Foundation, the Charleston County School District Assessment and Accountability Office, Fort Johnson Middle School, and Connect 2 Hope. The last two sites were new this year.
The goal of our teaching mentorships is to create a dual-mentorship opportunity: the professor provides mentorship to the student (the teaching mentor) on various aspects of high-quality instruction and the teaching mentor, in turn, provides mentorship for the students in the course to which they have been assigned. Teaching mentors read pedagogical literature, learning about the skills and techniques used by high-quality instructors in the classroom, help develop course materials, and provide mentorship to students both in and out of the classroom. Students may also be given the opportunity to give in-class lectures and/or run other class activities/discussions. Students who sign up for a Teaching Mentorship attend the class sessions for which they are mentoring. Along with the time students spend in the classroom, they also meet regularly with their professor to discuss class-specific issues and pedagogical readings and activities, as well as hold a certain number of “library” or “chat-room” hours to meet with students. Finally, teaching mentors produce a teaching portfolio at the end of the semester, which may include items such as: brief teaching narrative, reading reflections, materials developed for actual course (as well as any “hypothetical” materials developed for pedagogical discussion), and a final critical reflection paper.
The Department of Psychology contributes heavily to the college’s interdisciplinary neuroscience program (e.g., PSYC 103, 215, 216, 317, 318, 351, 352, 353, 356, 386, 387, 410). Over half of the core courses and specialized neuroscience elective courses are taught by members of the Department of Psychology. Three our faculty members teach primarily in the program and frequently supervise neuroscience student Bachelor’s Essays (Mike Ruscio, Jennifer Wilhelm, and Garrett Milliken). A number of other faculty members also teach courses that contribute to this interdisciplinary program (e.g., Dan Greenberg - PSYC 385: Cognitive Neuroscience; Tom Ross – PSYC 387: Neuropsychology). We also offered a special topics courses (PSYC 446: Special Topics in Neuroscience) for the first time on brain development this AY. Finally, our request to initiate a national search for a behavioral neuroscientist at the assistant professor level in Fall 2017 was denied. This request was intended to fill a vacancy left by the resignation of Mark Hurd in 2014. Our department has a strong need to fill this vacancy and we will continue to make this request to hire as long as the need remains.
Psychology faculty members support courses that contribute to several interdisciplinary programs such as Computational Neuroscience – PSYC 213, 214, 215, 216, 221, 318, 351, 352, 353, 386, 387) Crime Law and Society – PSYC 221, 223, 344; Environmental Studies -PSYC 329; Linguistics – PSYC 340, 378; Public Health –PSYC 220, 221, 329, 333; Urban Studies – PSYC 221, 223, 321, 329, 334, 358; and Women and Gender Studies – PSYC 350). It is very difficult to identify the percentage on non-majors and minors taking these “service courses,” as many students declare psychology majors and minors after taking these courses. However, I estimate that five or six full-time faculty members are required to support Psychology’s annual contribution to interdisciplinary programs on campus.
Religious Studies With its interdisciplinary and cross-cultural curriculum, RELS contributes significantly to other units, programs, and initiatives. As noted already, these include contributions to the Honors College (HONS) and to the First Year Experience (FYE), but also to other inter- Page | 32
disciplinary programs in the School of Languages, Cultures and World Affairs (LCWA), including African American Studies (AAST), Asian Studies (ASST), Environmental Studies (ENVT), International Studies (INTL), Jewish Studies (JWST), as well as Women & Gender Studies (WGS). For example, “The Islamic Tradition” and “Religion and Law” is cross-listed in INTL, “The Jewish Tradition” is cross-listed in JWST, “The Christian Tradition” fulfills requirements in HIST, while “Daoist Tradition,” “The Buddhist Tradition,” and “Sacred Texts in Asia and America” all satisfy requirements in ASST and INTL, “Religion and Nature in North America” and ““Nature Spirituality, Ecotopia, and Applied Ecovillage Living” were cross-listed in ENVT and URST, “World Religions” satisfies requirements in INTL and CPLT, “Religion and Film” satisfies requirements for the Film Studies program, while “Women and Religion” fulfills requirements in WGS.
Faculty also deliver high impact experiences that provide students with personalized attention. In the fall, Louise Doire guided a RELS 399 with Annsley Banks on the subject of “Heteronormativity within the Religious Traditions of Presbyterianism and Catholicism”
In the spring, June McDaniel guided Jessie Edmonds’s project on Baptism Rituals in Greek Orthodoxy while Edmonds was on a semester abroad in Greece. Also in the spring, Zeff Bjerken worked with Ashley Thompson on “The Impact of Hindu Traditions on Protestant Christianity in Varanasi India” while she was studying in India.
Elijah Siegler taught the Senior Seminar (RELS 450) on “Spirituality,” through the lenses of phenomenology, history, and critical theory. Questions asked included: How does one study spirituality? Where does it come from? Why do so many people say they are “spiritual but not religious”? What is spirituality anyway?
The Senior Seminar is offered in the fall, and it is followed in the spring semester by another required course, the Capstone Colloquium. This course demonstrates how our department has been a trailblazer in our efforts to help our graduates obtain employment upon graduation. Four years ago, we instituted this new required course for our majors, which specifically introduces our graduating seniors to possible career paths, by having them speak with former Religious Studies majors, including alumni of our program, as well as the director of Career Services.
The Colloquium is a “meta-course” that provided graduating seniors with an opportunity to reflect on the cumulative achievement of their studies and consider how they might apply their knowledge and skills in their future professional lives. The Colloquium was designed to give students the opportunity to review their own study of religion at C of C in order to identify their distinctive interests in particular subjects; write an intellectual autobiography; evaluate how their training served as a bridge between other academic disciplines; and grasp how the study of religion has prepared them to put their learning to work in the world.
Faculty also create high impact experiences that provide students with personalized attention, including a SURF project, and advanced tutorials and independent study projects.
• Dr. LeVasseur and Dr. Bjerken worked with major Luke Shirley on a project on religion and ecology in India during summer of 2016, with the help of a SURF grant Page | 33
• Dr. Siegler mentored major Julia Lane on a RELS 381 Internship with the “Christian Jewish Council of Greater Charleston.” Lane helped CJC develop their social media presence. She also sought to persuade the leaders of this organization to broaden the scope of their interfaith reach beyond Christianity and Judaism to include Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam, because these living faith communities also co-exist in Charleston. • Dr. Cressler also mentored major Luke Shirley on a RELS 381 Internship with the “Charleston Area Justice Ministry.” • Siegler also led two RELS majors to a major regional religious studies conference in Raleigh North Carolina, and each student presented a paper based on their original research.
Each learning experience listed above illustrates the interdisciplinary nature of our high impact learning experiences, which foster greater understanding of the climate for interfaith dialogue on C of C ’s campus, in the “Holy City” or in the Low country or South Carolina region.
Our department also promotes a personalized education by offering capstone course work and individualized attention in advanced seminar courses. Our students value the personal attention they receive in the department, as supported by qualitative exit survey of seniors conducted by the Chair in 2017. [See Appendix B: Senior Exit Survey Class of 2017 Report].
The RELS department received the highest marks in “student satisfaction” with the major program of study in the School of Humanities & Social Sciences (and the department also had 100% response rate for graduating seniors, the only HSS department in which every student participated in the survey).
Sociology and Anthropology In FY 2016-2017, we offered two summer study abroad programs, one in Ireland (Dr. Moore Quinn) and the other in India (Dr. Christine Finnan). We also offered an archaeological field school in partnership with the Charleston Museum (Dr. Barbara Borg).
The Sociology and Anthropology faculty teach courses that contribute to 12 interdisciplinary minors and 6 interdisciplinary majors on campus. Sociology and Anthropology courses draw upon a range of social science disciplines. Dr. Maureen Hays and Dr. Dee Dee Joyce are on the Archaeology Steering Committee. Professor Ann Stein, Senior Instructor of Sociology, was the director of the Crime, Law and Society program. George Dickinson has taught and advised students in the new Child Life Program. In addition to the courses we have offered in support of other programs, Sociology and Anthropology faculty served in administrative leadership positions for various interdisciplinary programs on campus.

PLEASE DISCUSS THE DIVERSITY AMONG YOUR FACULTY, INCLUDING EFFORTS MADE IN RECRUITMENT (IF APPLICABLE) TO INCREASE THE PRESENCE OF UNDER-REPRESENTED GROUPS.
The School of Humanities and Social Sciences celebrates diversity. We believe that diverse backgrounds and ideas are crucial to academic excellence. Due to this belief, we are committed to creating an inclusive campus that respects and appreciates individual and group differences. Page | 55
At the time this report was due, the 2016-17 data was not available on the Office of Institutional Research, Planning, and Information Management’s website. Below is a list of all HSS faculty in the 2015-16 academic year that represent a diverse background.
The School of Humanities and Social Sciences had eight tenure-track searches in AY16-17. Three candidates are typically interviewed for each open position. HSS encourages and pays for the departments to interview a fourth candidate if they are considered a diverse candidate. Six of the eight searches brought in a fourth candidate in AY16-17.
Also, advertisements were placed in the following journals to specifically target minority candidates.
AAA sections for minority and LGBTQ Anthropologists Association of Latina and Latino Anthropologists The National Conference of Black Political Scientists
PLEASE PROVIDE A SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PRODUCTIVITY IN YOUR DEPARTMENT OR PROGRAM, REFERRING TO THE SUPPORTING DATA SECTION AS APPROPRIATE. WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS AND CHALLENGES?
HSS faculty produced the following, as noted in the Faculty Activity System (FAS) report attached to this report, include:

Strengths Contributions to other units and unique curricular initiatives o In addition to administrative roles in non-HSS programs, our faculty contribute significantly to non-HSS College of Charleston units, programs and initiatives. Of all credit hours outside of HSS, our faculty taught 2.4% (n=3612) of the hours in the fall and 1.5% (n=2177) of the hours in the spring. Of all credit hours generated in HSS in AY16-17, our HSS faculty generated 91.9% (n=40,845) in the fall and 94.8% (39,559) in the spring. o Compared to the other academic schools, HSS faculty made the greatest contributions to Honors and First Year Experience in both fall and spring semesters. In Honors, our faculty contributed 35.7% (n=962) of the total credit hours generated in the fall and 11.1% (n=488) of the total credit hours generated in the spring. In First Year Experience, our faculty contributed 38.9% (n=2,203) of the total credit hours generated in the fall and 12.8% (n=1,098) of the total credit hours generated in the spring. Unique curricular offerings o The Department of Communication, for example, recently created the Martin Scholars program – a program that selects a group of 10 communication seniors majors through a combination of exposure to effective communication leaders who Page | 57
serve as mentors and teachers, networking opportunities with Communication alumni and the Department of Communication Advisory Council members, and experiential learning. o For a list of all unique curricular offerings, please view each departmental annual report within HSS, as well as the “Departmental Or Program Contributions To Interdisciplinary International/Globalization, Personalized Education And High Impact Student Experiences” section. Workload productivity o In the fall of 2016, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences generated the largest number (28%, n=42574) of the total credit hours generated, which includes undergraduate and graduate hours, compared to all other schools. o In spring of 2017, HSS generated the largest number (28%, n=40639) of the total credit hours generated, which includes undergraduate and graduate hours, compared to all other schools.
Challenges While our faculty are productive researchers (especially given our teaching and service obligations), our challenges, which are themes pulled from individual departmental reports, lie in the following: Not translating student-faculty collaborations into published research articles. Inconsistencies in scholarly activity across ranks and length of service at the institution. Limited travel funds within the departments Securing external grant funding
PLEASE PROVIDE A SUMMARY OF DEPARTMENTAL OR PROGRAM SERVICE AND OUTREACH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SCHOOL, COLLEGE, COMMUNITY (OF A PROFESSIONAL NATURE), OR PROFESSION. WHAT ARE YOUR STRENGTHS AND CHALLENGES?
The HSS faculty’s service contributions, as noted in the Faculty Activity System (FAS) report attached to this report, include: Service o Department: 211 o College: 264 o Community: 44 o Profession: 121 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR FACULTY AND STUDENTS
HSS Dean’s office funds support student and faculty research In AY 16-17 Dean’s office supported research activities for 44 students ($13,379). Stories about these opportunities can be found at http://blogs.cofc.edu/hss/. Page | 58
In AY 16-17 Dean’s office supported 79 faculty research and professional development projects ($57,323). Activities included, but were not limited to, conference research presentations, new course development, hosting academic conferences, hosting guest lecturers, professional training, participant recruitment, and travel to research archives.
WHAT SUCCESS HAVE YOU HAD IN MEETING PROGRAM, DEPARTMENTAL, SCHOOL OR COLLEGE GOALS? WHAT OBSTACLES PREVENT YOU FROM REACHING SPECIFIC PROGRAM, DEPARTMENTAL, SCHOOL OR COLLEGE GOALS? IN WHAT WAY CAN ACADEMIC AFFAIRS SUPPORT YOUR EFFORTS? Over the last year, or for that matter over the last 6 years, HSS has been successful in meeting our goals (for department goals see department reports) and contributing to meeting the College wide goals. Our real success is measured in our stability in providing personalized education experiences and methods training for our majors in all programs. In any given year approximately 45% of HSS majors are engaged in personalized/experiential learning experiences through our offerings in Small Capstone courses, Labs, Field, Independent Studies, Bachelor’s Essays, Research Apprenticeships, Teaching Apprenticeships, Tutorials, and Internships and on average about 20% of majors have a one-on-one educational experience and all of our majors receive methods training appropriate to their discipline.
In what way can Academic Affairs support your efforts? Obstacles for any program, department, or school tend to be resource related and fall in to the classic categories people, space, time, and money. Personalized learning opportunities are costly. Increasing these opportunities requires additional faculty lines or at the very least incentives for current faculty to engage in these experiences above and beyond their standard workload. Research methods training is not only limited by faculty availability but, also by access to state of the art lab and computer facilities. Current physical resources are inadequate to provide our students with methods training to enter the workforce or continue their education in graduate school.
Personalized Education Obstacles HSS would like to increase these offerings in the future. However, personalized learning opportunities are costly. Increasing these opportunities requires additional faculty lines and incentives for current faculty to engage in these experiences above and beyond their standard workload.
Study Abroad Obstacles Over the last 3 years HSS allocated some funds toward summer study abroad scholarships. These were not recurring funds. Without additional scholarships it is difficult to increase participation in the study abroad programs. While ideally students would have a full semester experience abroad, increasing the shorter summer and spring break programs with adjusted tuition rates for out-of-state students should increase opportunities for students to expand their global awareness.
Methods Training Obstacles Given 100% of our majors at some point receive methods training appropriate to their discipline, HSS would like to increase the quality not quantity of these offerings. Research methods training is not only limited by faculty availability but, also by access to state of the art Page | 59
lab and computer facilities. Current physical resources are inadequate to provide our students with methods training to enter the workforce or continue their education in graduate school.
Academic Affairs could help support efforts in HSS by supporting our budget requests in the order the dean has prioritized and supporting creative solutions to workload management that would further the goal to provide personalized education experiences for our majors.
WHAT CURRICULAR DEVELOPMENT OR OTHER MAJOR CHANGES IN THE PROGRAM(S) ARE PLANNED FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS? BRIEFLY, WHAT RESOURCES ARE REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT THESE? Communication Departmental faculty identified a weakness in our major such that many graduates of the program tend to find jobs in public relations and other areas of strategic communication, but none of our foundational courses specifically address this area of the field. To address the need, our faculty voted to add an introductory level course to the Communication curriculum, thus increasing hours needed to complete Communication major from 36 to 39 hours. The title for the new course is COMM 216: Principles and Practices in Strategic Communication. The first section of this new course was offered in spring 2017, and effective fall 2017, this course is required for all Communication majors. The foundational knowledge students gain in the introductory course allow faculty to focus on advanced strategic communication principles in existing upper level courses. No new resources were required to implement this change.
English The one big change on the near horizon is a proposal to create a Writing Studies minor and concentration. The current version of the proposal will require modest administrative support but no new faculty positions.

No new resources were required to implement this change.
Political Science We plan to strengthen our mentorship program in 2017-2018. This program connects our strong alumni base to our current students. We also plan to build on our successful Career Café events, and to organize a series of Career Readiness workshops to help our students better prepare for employment after graduation. Based on our preliminary planning, we will organize the workshops around career Page | 60
opportunities in different economic sectors including government jobs, nonprofit jobs, and private sector opportunities. We also plan to implement our new Public Policy concentration for political science majors. None of these changes will require additional resources, however.
Psychology In recent years, the Psychology Department recently completed some very exciting curricular enhancements and worked to develop departmental tenure and promotion guidelines. We completed work on new BA and BS programs and finally saw our efforts come to fruition last year as these degree programs were offered for the first time in F12. Since introducing these programs, our curricular revisions have been intentionally minor so as to better assess the impact of the major changes introduced in F12. In fact, we plan an external review of our program in AY 2017-18 to help us determine the effectiveness of our new curriculum, new mission statement, and recently developed strategic plan.
Required Resources: Given the data trends pointed out in previous sections of this report (e.g., dramatic increases in our numbers of majors and minors, increasing reliance on adjuncts), the Department of Psychology could benefit substantially from more faculty and instructor lines and an additional staff position.
Public Health We’ve have spent most of this year focused “internally” on student advising, assessment, and navigating institutional policies, procedures, and expectations. Now that accreditation standards have been adopted, we will work on curricular issues to make sure we align with the identified expectations. We are also turning our attention more “outward” to make stronger connections in the Charleston public health community and in the public health field as evidenced by discussion with MUSC and expanding internship sites. Our goal is to achieve national accreditation for both majors in the public health program within the next five years.
Sociology and Anthropology Sociology: The sociology program has made efforts to expand our on-line course offerings. There will be an on-line path to graduation by summer 2017 and our major is one of five on campus that can be completed through a combination of on-line and evening classes.
Anthropology: The anthropology program made no changes in 2016-2017, but plans to have ANTH 203: Biological Anthropology added as a General Education in Social Science this year. Anthropology also plans to expand its on-line course offerings during the regular academic year.
Urban Studies The Urban Studies Program is seeking to create an accelerated BA to MA Program between Urban Studies and the Public Administration Program. No new resources are needed for this initiative. However, support and approval via the Dean of HSS, the Faculty Curriculum Committee, and Academic Affairs will be needed to move this program forward. Page | 61
The Urban Studies Program currently houses the Student Ambassador Program. The American Planning Association provided a grant to start this program, but it almost completely expended. A budget is needed to continue to offer the Student Ambassador Program.
Women’s and Gender Studies Over the next few years, WGS would like to hire new roster faculty and secure a full-time administrative position. We have excellent student workers, but we have no administrative staff for WGS. This means that the director regularly has to train new students and/or has to do the work that a staff member would do more quickly and more competently, and/or has to rely on staff in HSS who already have full time jobs of their own. In our major proposal, HSS said that in its third year, WGS would receive a staff line. That year has now passed, and WGS needs a staff member immediately.

Funded Wilhelm, Jennifer C (Principal), "Role of estrogen in axon regeneration and synaptic reorganization after peripheral nerve injury," Sponsored by National Institutes of Health, Federal governmental agency, awarded $424,985.00. (August 2016 - July 2019). Collaborative Arrangements: Traumatic peripheral nerve injuries incapacitate hundreds of thousands of people in the United States and worldwide each year. Despite the regenerative ability of the peripheral nerves, full recovery is rare. Therapeutic exercise in the form of treadmill training is a non-invasive technique that has been shown to encourage recovery by enhancing axon regeneration and promoting the restoration of synaptic inputs onto motoneurons. This enhancement is sex-dependent with males and females requiring different exercise patterns to promote regeneration. The mechanisms underlying this sex difference are unclear but likely involve sex steroid hormones. Estrogen has been shown to play a role in motor neuron regeneration. The overall goal of this proposal is to study the estrogen dependence of the effects of treadmill exercise on neuronal participation in regeneration and synaptic reorganization after peripheral nerve injury. In Aim 1, the effects of estrogen receptor signaling on motor and sensory axon regeneration will be studied by blocking estrogen receptors during treadmill exercise. The number of motoneurons and dorsal root ganglion neurons whose axons regenerate successfully will be quantified. In Aim 2, we will assess the requirement for estrogen signaling in the exercise-mediated restoration of inputs onto motoneurons after peripheral nerve injury. Estrogen receptors will be blocked during exercise, and synaptic reorganization will be characterized and quantified. Estrogen therapy is already in use clinically. The results of these experiments will allow us to further develop estrogen therapy as a pharmacological treatment for patients suffering from traumatic peripheral nerve injuries, especially when participating in treadmill exercise is not possible.
