Students interested in taking online courses must supply a copy of the course syllabus and obtain approval from school administration prior to enrolling in courses. SPCPA does NOT accept credits associated with grades below a C- (70 %) or graded on a pass/fail basis. (Student Handbook page 14) Former students have taken classes through the following online school to make up credits: BYU Online - http://is.byu.edu/site/ Things to remember about summer school and online school options: 1) SPCPA is on semesters. Some school districts are on quarters. Two quarters equals one semester. Some school districts are on trimesters. You need to take two trimesters to get enough credit for a semester. Three trimesters will equal a year. SPCPA credit designations are as follows: A SPCPA quarter is .250 credits, a trimester is .333 credits, a semester is .500 credits, and a year is 1.0 credits. 2) SPCPA only accepts letter grades for credit and the student must receive a C- or above to receive credit towards graduation. *SPCPA does not cover the cost of any summer school options that require payment. If you have any questions about summer school options, please contact Mark Grossklaus, Associate Director, at [email protected] or 651-290-2225. MAKING UP ARTS CREDITS No Credit Earned in Art Courses Students earning No Credit (NC) in art courses will be required to make up equivalent credit to meet SPCPA graduation requirements by contacting and completing community service at a non-profit organization. Forty-eight (48) hours of community service are required before a student will receive equivalent credit for a Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday arts course. Twenty-four (24) hours of community service are associated with Friday arts courses. Students with No Credit (NC) in one or more arts courses must make an appointment with and obtain approval for their proposed community service hours from Mr. Grossklaus prior to completing hours. Students receiving No Credit (NC) in two or more arts courses after the start of the 2011-2012 school year will not be eligible to receive a diploma from SPCPA.

  • The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People's Republic of China
    The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People’s Republic of China, 1949-2009 by Emily Elissa Wilcox A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the University of California, San Francisco in Medical Anthropology of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Xin Liu, Chair Professor Vincanne Adams Professor Alexei Yurchak Professor Michael Nylan Professor Shannon Jackson Spring 2011 Abstract The Dialectics of Virtuosity: Dance in the People’s Republic of China, 1949-2009 by Emily Elissa Wilcox Joint Doctor of Philosophy with the University of California, San Francisco in Medical Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Xin Liu, Chair Under state socialism in the People’s Republic of China, dancers’ bodies became important sites for the ongoing negotiation of two paradoxes at the heart of the socialist project, both in China and globally. The first is the valorization of physical labor as a path to positive social reform and personal enlightenment. The second is a dialectical approach to epistemology, in which world-knowing is connected to world-making. In both cases, dancers in China found themselves, their bodies, and their work at the center of conflicting ideals, often in which the state upheld, through its policies and standards, what seemed to be conflicting points of view and directions of action. Since they occupy the unusual position of being cultural workers who labor with their bodies, dancers were successively the heroes and the victims in an ever unresolved national debate over the value of mental versus physical labor.

  • Bronislava Nijinska in Revolutionary Russia
    An Amazon of the Avant-Garde: Bronislava Nijinska in Revolutionary Russia LYNN GARAFOLA In August 1915 Alexander Kochetovsky, a graduate of Moscow's Bolshoi Ballet and a veteran of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, arrived in Kiev to take up a position as ballet master and dancer at the Kiev City Theater [Kievskii Gorodskoi Teatr].1 With him was his wife, Bronislava Nijinska, a former Ballets Russes soloist trained at St. Petersburg's Imperial Ballet School and also hired as a dancer, their two-year-old daughter Irina, and Bronislava's mother, Eleanora Bereda, a retired dancer who began her career at Warsaw's Wielki Theater. For Kochetovsky, the Kiev years would be a brief interlude in a career that ended in Houston teaching ballet to the daughters of oil barons. For Nijinska, they marked the start of an international career as one of the twentieth-century's most innovative choreographers. Nijinska spent nearly six years in Kiev. There she gave birth to a second child and was abandoned not once but twice by Kochetovsky. More importantly, it was in Kiev that she became a modernist artist. In the experimental ferment that followed the 1917 Revolution and the short-lived Ukrainian republic, she opened her own studio, which she called the School of Movement. She worked with visual artists at the cutting edge of the era's avant-garde and with theater directors challenging the conventions of the dramatic stage. She created solos and group works and presented her first full evenings of choreography. She taught in studios identified with the artistic left and with Jewish and Ukrainian cultural organizations.

  • The Sexual Politics of Meat Substitutes

Dissertation, Georgia State University, 2006. https://scholarworks.gsu.edu/english_diss/9 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the Department of English at ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. It has been accepted for inclusion in English Dissertations by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT SUBSTITUTES by GREGORY JAMES FLAIL Under the Direction of George Pullman Food choice has intrigued generations of scholars seeking insight into the rituals that characterize the cultural and sub-cultural values of various nations and eras. Among the more recent cultural phenomena to influence theories about the body is food choice. Perhaps there is no argumentative issue more pervasive than that of food choice, because everyone must eat. The morsels that people consume are chosen as often as not for their symbolic value. A review of the literature of dietary discourse and representation reveals a gap where studies of vegetarian and vegan identity, mass media, and mass markets are concerned. This dissertation utilizes theories of representation, cultural studies, and discourse analysis to uncover culturally specific attitudes in the marketing of food with regard to vegetable-based diets, the foods that they consist of, and the people who eat them.
