[Brigid Flannery]

Faculty there are a couple of new courses offered this spring.  Both faculty instructors have offered to come and talk to your students at a meeting or in a class - contact them directly to make arrangements.  Also the posters are attached.


EDST 410/510 VideoLab: On Educaiton (Dr. Ed Madison)  is a course that is co-sponsored by College of Education and the School of Journalism.  The course focuses on the intersection of media, education, and technology, with specific emphasis on digital storytelling and interview methods. It explores personal and professional narratives surrounding education through critique
of societal notions and media representations about teaching, student achievement, and education reform. Students will draw from journalistic interview methods to identify and examine stories of individuals from underrepresented populations, focusing on issues of gender, race/ethnicity, and class.


Law 399 Youth and Social Change (Dr. Michael Musheno)  is a course the law school is offering and thought it might be of interest to many of our students.  This course interrogates adult-centered representations of youth, their problems, and the supposed solutions to these problems. We explore how adult world constructs and acts on youth through the institutions they control, including law and criminal justice. Concurrently, we investigate how these institutional domains are imagined and acted on by youth, differently situated, bringing to intellectual life a rarely considered youth-centered perspective of social life and activism. Throughout the course, we give attention to histories, tensions, and implications of different ways of thinking about and acting on youth. As a legal studies endeavor, this course encompasses cases, policy and regulations as they are lived, shaped and encountered by youth of different backgrounds. We bring forward ideas about identities, trust, agency and space as well as methodological tools that allow us to understand how youth make sense of their lives, assert their views of justice, fairness, and legality, and act on them as agents of change. To accomplish this, we engage in classroom and field-related learning.
