In the last two decades a new field of inquiry, cognitive science, has sprung up at the boundaries of cognitive psychology, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy. Borrowing most heavily from the subdisciplines of cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence, this class will focus on the ways in which cognitive science uses a range of methodologies to develop models and explanations of cognitive processes. The objectives of this course are twofold: 1) introduce students to the principles of cognitive science and the theories that have been developed in this field; 2) apply these principles and theories to issues of learning and understanding that are important to the fields represented by the concentrations in the School of Education and Social Policy. Specifically, we will discuss learning in school, community, family, and clinical settings. Students will be encouraged to draw from their own personal experience using the methodologies studied in the course. PREREQUISITES: None EVALUATION: Several short papers. READING LIST: Driscoll, M.P. (1994) Psychology of Learning for Instruction. Boston: Allyn & Bacon. (tentative) Supplemental readings from primary sources.

First, this course will explore the contexts and challenges that an organization presents in terms of the environment, the shifting institutional settings, and the challenges that result. The next unit focuses on requirements to meet these challenges. Specifically, we will look at how individuals within the oprganization do this, as well as institutional support requirements. Finally, the third unit focuses on designing and implementing an effective training/learning system in the organization. Skills that will be acquired will include: performing action-oriented analyses of environment; developing systems responsive to change; and "selling" the system to all levels of participants. James Rosenbaum Education & Social Policy, HDSP B01 INTRODUCTION TO SOCIAL POLICY Time: Th 3-5:30 pm Office Address: Annenberg 110 Phone: 491-3795 COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is designed to introduce students to central issues in social policy, both historically and currently. The goal is to give students an understanding of how social policies have developed and of the content of some current social policy issues and debates.

Theoretical approaches to adult development and empirical evidence on stability and change throughout adulthood are surveyed. The course topics move from the major theoretical and methodological issues in adult development and aging, to topic areas at the intersection of biology and psychology, to issues that are primarily socio-psychological. PREREQUISITES: None. P/N option is not permitted for students enrolled in the School of Education and Social Policy.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction: Improper Naming
    Notes Chapter 1 Introduction: Improper Naming 1. The allusion of Ru, Vi, and Flo to the flowers adorning Ophelia (described in Hamlet Act IV Scenes v and vii) is probably more than a coincidence, as an early version of the play held in the Beckett Collection at Reading University Library suggests that Beckett originally called the characters Viola, Rose, and Poppy. 2. In Kane’s slightly earlier plays – Blasted (showcased in 1993), Phaedra’s Love (produced in 1996), and Cleansed (produced in April 1998) – they are given names. The characters in Crave (produced in August 1998) are referred to only by letters (C, M, B, A); and in the posthumously produced 4.48 Psychosis (2000), there are no character names. The ‘I’ that speaks throughout 4.48 Psy- chosis is singular but split: three performers speak the ‘I’, arguably reflecting a triad voiced by the ‘I’ itself: ‘Victim/ Perpetrator/ Bystander’ (Kane, 2001, p. 231). 3. These insights derive in part from a response from Vogel by email to my question about the name ‘Anna’. 4. Prefiguring Lehmann, Bonnie Marranca states, in her introduction to the three-text collection The Theatre of Images (a work each by Robert Wilson, Lee Breuer, and Richard Foreman), that ‘value came to be increasingly placed on performance with the result that the new theatre never became a literary theatre, but one dominated by images – visual and aural. This is the single most important feature of contemporary American theatre’ (Marranca, p. ix). 5.

Foley, Supervisor Janet M. Davis John Hartigan Janet Staiger Shirley E. Thompson America’s New Racial Heroes: Mixed Race Americans and Ideas of Novelty, Progress, and Utopia by Gregory Thomas Carter, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2007 Dedication To my wife, Natasha B. Sugiyama Acknowledgements First, I want to thank the members of my dissertation committee for their support while conceiving and executing this project. Foremost among these is Neil Foley, who urged me to ask the underlying questions and gave me the latitude to explore the sources as I saw fit. Janet Davis, John Hartigan, Janet Staiger, and Shirley Thompson also offered reassurance regarding the significance of this work, as well as support with many academic matters over the past years. A friend once said that a dissertation committee should make one feel good as well as read and write on one’s behalf (and show up on time), and these scholars have done that and much more. As a sixth, at-large member of my committee, Shelley Fisher Fishkin gave valuable advice in the early stages of this project and continues to serve as a model of American Studies scholar, even away from the University of Texas.

Reginald Kina, Laura Dariotis, Wei Ming et al. Publication Date 2014 DOI 10.5070/C811013868 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Emerging Paradigms in Critical Mixed Race Studies G. Reginald Daniel, Laura Kina, Wei Ming Dariotis, and Camilla Fojas Mixed Race Studies1 In the early 1980s, several important unpublished doctoral dissertations were written on the topic of multiraciality and mixed-race experiences in the United States. Numerous scholarly works were published in the late 1980s and early 1990s. By 2004, master’s theses, doctoral dissertations, books, book chapters, and journal articles on the subject reached a critical mass. They composed part of the emerging field of mixed race studies although that scholarship did not yet encompass a formally defined area of inquiry. What has changed is that there is now recognition of an entire field devoted to the study of multiracial identities and mixed-race experiences. Rather than indicating an abrupt shift or change in the study of these topics, mixed race studies is now being formally defined at a time that beckons scholars to be more critical. That is, the current moment calls upon scholars to assess the merit of arguments made over the last twenty years and their relevance for future research. This essay seeks to map out the critical turn in mixed race studies. It discusses whether and to what extent the field that is now being called critical mixed race studies (CMRS) diverges from previous explorations of the topic, thereby leading to formations of new intellectual terrain.
