  • CCST 100: Growing Up Cross-Culturally

    First-year students interested in this program should enroll in this seminar. The course is recommended but not required for the concentration and it will count as one of the electives. From cradle to grave, cultural assumptions shape our own sense of who we are. This course is designed to enable American and international students to compare how their own and other societies view birth, infancy, adolescence, marriage, adulthood, and old age. Using children's books, child-rearing manuals, movies, and ethnographies, we will explore some of the assumptions in different parts of the globe about what it means to "grow up." 6; S/CR/NC; Recognition and Affirmation of Difference Requirement, Does not fulfill a distribution requirement; offered Fall 2009 -- C. Clark, G. Hong, S. Leonhard, S. Pattanayak

  • CCST 275: I'm A Stranger Here Myself

    Designed for students who are returning from off-campus studies or who have lived abroad, and for anyone who has had the experience of being an outsider, this course will explore theories and models of intercultural competence and intercultural transition. Using the actual experience of the students in class as its evidence, it will first develop theories about the nature of intercultural contact and then test their usefulness by applying them to the analysis of specific historical and literary evidence. 6; Recognition and Affirmation of Difference Requirement, Does not fulfill a distribution requirement; offered Winter 2010 -- S. Leonhard
