This total immersion course strongly adheres to the
philosophy that language should be taught as a whole, involving and engaging the
student in total language use by means of hands-on group activities that
reflect common everyday interactions of people in the Deaf community.
Sessions will introduce both formal and informal registers in ASL. Sessions
will also focus on language structure, syntax, and grammar through meaningful
and experiential activities adhering to research findings on the importance
of incorporating facial grammar, mouth morphemes, and non-manual signals in
the beginning stages of learning ASL. Role-playing will serve as a tool to
help students formulate ideas from conceptual to abstract using basic total
language concepts. Since ASL is the language of people who consider
themselves culturally Deaf, Deaf culture will be highlighted throughout the
course to enrich and complement the study of language. Prerequisite:
Beginning American Sign Language (ASL 101). |

This course will serve as an introduction to disability studies
as an interdisciplinary field. The intent is to provide an overview of
different conceptions and construction of disability throughout society and
how disabled people are affected by such. The course will take an
intersectional approach in analyzing and critiquing social systems and
manifestations of disability through critical disability theory.
Specifically, the course will focus on the history of disability and the
disability rights movement, medical and social models of disability,
accessibility and accommodations, disability policy and the legal landscape,
representations of people with disabilities in culture, and more. Students
will learn to think critically about disability in a variety of contexts.
Students will also develop a better understanding of systems of power and
oppression as they relate to disability and accessibility. Course readings
may include, but not be limited to, works by: Judy Heumann, Alice Wong, Keith
A. Mayes, Sonya Huber, Eli Clare, Simi Linton, Rosemarie Garland-Thomson,
Robert McRuer, Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer, Jasbir K. Puar, David J. Connor, and
Ronald J. Berger. Course content will include narratives, essays, articles,
podcasts, and film or other media. |

The field of psychotherapy has changed significantly over the
past 50 years, with new therapies focusing on helping people change their
thinking or behaviors and in some instances placing a greater focus on the
social and interpersonal context in which symptoms occur. Newer therapies,
grounded in clinical psychological science, place a greater emphasis on the
biopsychological bases of behavior, present functioning, achieving change
within shorter time periods, and demonstrating treatment efficacy. In this
course, we will focus on common treatments for common mental illnesses,
including anxiety and mood disorders, personality disorders, and substance
use disorders. Readings will consist of original research and both primary
and secondary sources. Students will be expected to make oral presentations
of material in class and to write a substantial research/review paper.
Prerequisites: Moderated in psychology and a course related to
psychopathology (PSY 210, PSY 211, or PSY 217), or permission of instructor. |
