The Graduate School of Social Work and Social SOWK 352 Child Welfare: Policy, Practice, and Research (GSSWSR) Research Social work was woven into the very fabric of Bryn SOWK 354 To Protect the Health of the Public Mawr College since it first opened its doors in 1885. Founded by Joseph Wright Taylor, a Quaker physician SOWK 408 Women and the Law who wanted to establish a college for the advanced SOWK 411 Family Law education of women, Bryn Mawr College soon became nondenominational but continued to be guided by Quaker values, including the freedom of conscience and a commitment to social justice and social activism. The Bryn Mawr College Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research (GSSWSR) was established through a bequest in 1912 from an undergraduate alumna of the College, Carola Woerishoffer, who at the time of her death at age 25 was investigating factory conditions for the New York Department of Labor. Her gift of $750,000 (about $14 million in today’s dollars) was the largest gift the College had received at that time, and was made so that others would be prepared to engage in social work, the field to which Carola Woerishoffer had committed herself.

As part of the Bryn Mawr College academic community and throughout its 95 year history, the School has placed great emphasis on critical, creative, and independent habits of thought and expression as well as an unwavering commitment to principles of social justice. It has been instrumental in promoting the social work profession by providing a rigorous educational environment to prepare clinicians, administrators, policy analysts, advocates, and educators who are committed to addressing the needs of individuals, families, organizations, and communities, both locally and globally.

Moving forward, the School has reaffirmed its commitment through a redesigned outcomes/abilities- based curriculum, providing all students with an integrated perspective on policy, practice, theory, and research. Both Master’s and PhD graduates are prepared to address the rapidly growing and complex challenges impacting the biological, psychological, and social conditions of children and families within their communities. GSSWSR graduates are leaders in defining standards of practice, shaping social welfare policy, and undertaking ethically grounded research in the social and behavioral sciences.

Examples of GSSWSR graduate level courses that are open to advanced undergraduates include:

Allen, Professor of Political Science on the Harvey Wexler Chair in Political Science and Co-Director of the International Studies Program Linda-Susan Beard, Associate Professor of English Pim Higginson, Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies Alice Lesnick, Director and Term Professor in the Bryn Mawr/Haverford Education Program and Director of Africana Studies (on leave semester I) Kalala Ngalamulume, Associate Professor of Africana Studies and History and Co-Director of the International Studies Program Mary Osirim, Interim Provost and Professor of Sociology Robert Washington, Professor of Sociology Susan White, Professor of Chemistry

The Africana Studies Program brings a global outlook to the study of Africa and its Diasporas. Drawing on analytical perspectives from anthropology, economics, history, literary studies, political science and sociology, the program focuses on peoples of African descent within the context of increasing globalization and dramatic social, economic and political changes.

Bryn Mawr’s Africana Studies Program participates in a U.S. Department of Education-supported consortium with Haverford College, Swarthmore Colleges, and the University of Pennsylvania. Through this consortium, Bryn Mawr students have the opportunity to take a broad range of courses by enrolling in courses offered by all participating institutions. Also, Bryn Mawr’s Africana Studies Program sponsors a study abroad semester at the University of Nairobi, Kenya, and participates in other study abroad programs offered by its consortium partners in Zimbabwe, Ghana, and Senegal.

Students are encouraged to begin their work in the Africana Studies Program by taking “Introduction to African Civilizations” (HIST B102). This required introductory level course, which provides students with a common intellectual experience as well as the foundation for subsequent courses in Africana Studies, should be completed by the end of the student’s junior year. 68 Africana Studies

Units: 1.0 (Not Offered 2014-2015) Anthropology is a holistic study of the human condition in both the past and the present. The anthropological lens can bring into focus the social, cultural, biological and linguistic variations that characterize the diversity of humankind throughout time and space. The frontiers of anthropology can encompass many directions: the search for early human fossils in Africa, the excavations of prehistoric societies and ancient civilizations, the analysis of language use and other expressive forms of culture, or the examination of the significance of culture in the context of social life.

We encourage students to explore the history of cultural production and reception and also to question the presuppositions of literary study. The major culminates in an independently written essay of 30-40 pages, developed during a senior research seminar in the fall semester and individually mentored by a faculty member in the spring. Students are expected to take at least two English courses at Bryn Mawr before signing up for the major or minor. 166 English

The Departments of French at Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges offer a variety of courses and two options for the major. The purpose of the major in French is to lay the foundation for an understanding and appreciation of French and Francophone culture through its literature and language, the history of its arts, its thought and its institutions. Course offerings are intended to serve both those students with particular interest in French and Francophone literature, literary theory and criticism (Language and Literature option), but in addition a second major track serves those whose interests in French and French-speaking countries invite a transdisciplinary perspective (Transdisciplinary Studies in French). A thorough knowledge of written and spoken French is a common goal for both literary and transdisciplinary options.

In the 100-level courses, students are introduced to the study of French and Francophone literatures and cultures, and special attention is given to the speaking and writing of French. Courses at the 200-level treat French and Francophone literature and civilization across the historical spectrum. Two 200-level courses are devoted to advanced language training and one to the study of theory. Advanced (300-level) courses offer detailed study either of individual authors, genres and movements or of particular periods, themes and problems in French and Francophone culture. In both major options, students are admitted to advanced courses after satisfactory completion of two semesters of 200-level courses in French. 202 French and Francophone Studies

International Studies is the study of relationships among people and states affected by increasingly permeable borders and facing global issues. International Studies aims to prepare students to be responsible citizens by introducing them to issues of importance in an increasingly interdependent world of global dynamics in politics, economics, ideas, language, and culture.

At Bryn Mawr, International Studies combines applied and theoretical approaches by drawing from disciplines in both the Social Sciences and Humanities. This broad conception of International Studies distinguishes our program from many others. It builds from a core of courses from politics, economics, and ethics, a branch of philosophy, and then incorporates electives from specified tracks that reflect areas of strength in faculty research and teaching. It allows students to explore the descriptive and normative aspects of living in a world characterized by the deep interconnections of a 284 International Studies globalized world. It thus draws on Bryn Mawr’s Mawr’s traditional strength in the study of language longstanding interest in promoting justice with its and culture to enhance their study of non-Anglophone already established coursework at the undergraduate areas of the world.

The Mathematics curriculum is designed to expose students to a wide spectrum of ideas in modern mathematics, train students in the art of logical reasoning and clear expression, and provide students with an appreciation of the beauty of the subject and of its vast applicability.

Major Requirements

A minimum of 10 semester courses is required for the major, including the six core courses listed below and four electives at or above the 200 level.

Core Requirements: MATH B201 Multivariable Calculus (H121 or H216) MATH B203 Linear Algebra (H215) MATH B301 Real Analysis I (H317) MATH B303 Abstract Algebra I (H333) MATH B302 Real Analysis II (H318) or MATH B304 Abstract Algebra II (H334) MATH B398 or B399 Senior Conference

The analysis and algebra sequences, MATH 301/302 and MATH 303/304, both have a strong proof writing focus. Consequently, students often find it useful to 314 Mathematics take a course such as MATH 206 (Transition to Higher Placement Exam so they can be best advised.

Students should write a brief essay (~2 pages) and Director of the Center for Social Sciences on the kinds of questions or problems that they would like to pursue in the study of politics. The essay should Ian M. Hartshorn, Instructor be submitted and discussed with the advisor. Based on Seung-Youn Oh, Assistant Professor of Political Science this discussion, the student and advisor will formulate a course plan for the major.

The major in Sociology aims to provide understanding of the organization and functioning of modern society by analyzing its major institutions, social groups, and values, and their connections to culture and power. To facilitate these analytical objectives, the department offers rigorous preparation in social theory and problem- focused training in quantitative as well as qualitative methodologies.

Major Requirements

Requirements for the major are SOCL 102, 265, 302, 303 (Junior Seminar), which fulfills the College writing intensive requirement, 398 (Senior Seminar), five additional courses in sociology (one of which may be at the 100 level and at least one of which must be at the 300 level). In addition, the student must take two additional courses in sociology or an allied subject; the allied courses are to be chosen in consultation with the faculty adviser. The department strongly recommends that majors take a history course focused on late 19th and 20th century American history. Students with an interest in quantitative sociology are encouraged to elect as allied work further training in mathematics, statistics and computer science. Those with an interest in historical or theoretical sociology are encouraged to elect complementary courses in history, philosophy, and anthropology. In general, these allied courses should be chosen from the social sciences.

Senior Experience

The Senior Seminar is required of all senior sociology majors regardless of whether or not they wish to do a thesis. Depending on the number of students, in some years the Senior Seminar will have two sections. The content of the two sections may differ, but the structure of the seminars will be the same. Students will focus on their writing in a series of assignments, emphasizing, as the new college-wide writing requirement suggests, the process and elements of good writing. 382 Sociology
