There are still some spaces available in JSIS 534 – Legal Foundations of World Order this autumn.

This course examines the legal foundations of world security and stability in a time of dynamic change in international relations. Some believe that international law is a charade; governments comply with it only when convenient to do so, and disregard it whenever a contrary interest appears. But legal “norms” can still have a major impact on a wide range of economic, political and security matters. Topics will include the Just War Theory, International Humanitarian Law (the Law of Armed Conflict) and its application to modern warfare, humanitarian intervention, terrorism, nuclear weapons, suicide bombers and robotic warfare, international environmental law, climate change and the Law of the Sea.

CITIES on SCREEN: Film, Design, and the Built Environment “Black and White”

Fall 2019 College of the Built Environment

1-credit film seminar, 6 sessions, alternate Fridays 3:30-5:50 PM beginning September 27, Gould 322

BE 498 F (SLN 10991) | BE 598 F (SLN 10997) – Undergrads should sign up for 498, Grad students should take 598

Film offers insights into how we represent, document and navigate our built environments. At the same time, the virtual space of cinema influences our thinking,

and by extension, our experience and design of both complex ideas and real places. Fall quarter we explore the theme of “Black and White,” which denotes a film process and an aesthetic, as well as connoting confident assertions of certainty and more fraught attributions of difference. “Black and White” conjures binaries and blurring, of truth and deception, documentary and drama, identity and indignity, good and evil, and conformity and resistance; and imparts meaning and metaphor in the cinematic city around issues of race, gender and the so-called Other.

This film seminar features discussion and full-length viewing of selected films and is open to undergraduates and graduates in all majors and departments.

There are still some spaces available in JSIS 578 – Special Topics: Congress and U.S. Foreign Policy this autumn.

This course examines the role of the U.S. Congress in shaping and driving U.S. foreign policy. Taught by a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives and a long-time House and Senate foreign affairs staffer, it explores both the statutory and political responsibilities through which elected representatives approach U.S. involvement abroad. Students will hone their skills in developing concise, compelling arguments on complex topics for both written and oral presentation. Course work will be largely driven by “mock Senate” floor debates, in which students will be required to confront notable foreign policy case studies from the perspective of their assigned roles as members of the U.S. Senate.

A new section of JSIS 535: Technology, Society and the Future has recently opened up more spaces for this summer a-term course.

This course explores the intersection of policy, technology and society. Technology is rapidly changing the way that humans interact with one another, markets are formed, and information is stored, shared and utilized. While technology has held and does hold great promise for being a force for both economic and social change, it also has the potential to be used in ways that threaten civil liberties, national security and data sovereignty. Private sector and civil society actors, government and military leaders, and regulators must work together to understand how new and emerging technologies will drive change across a wide range of sectors, and they must develop policies to ensure that technology is used to help improve and enrich the lives of those across the socioeconomic spectrum.

COMMLD 535: Foundations of Audio Storytelling

(Partnow) 5 Credits, Intensive, Monday-Friday, 6/24-6/28 | 9:00am-5:00pm | SAV 132

Whether gathered around a radio in a living room or walking plugged in with headphones, the medium of audio storytelling has always offered the opportunity to build mindset-shifting community around content. This course traces the evolution of audio storytelling from radio to podcasting that links to communities for various purposes: to educate, to entertain, and to inspire action — and the new golden age of podcasting that we find ourselves in means that audio storytelling has the potential for broad reach and powerful impact. Consideration is given to the core characteristics of strong storytelling, observed through an auditory filter. Class materials are twinned with a selection of cross-sector guest speakers who bring their own craft perspective. Students will experiment with designing their own short audio pieces.

COMMLD 530 B: Intensive Video Storytelling: Conceptualizing, Shooting, and Editing

(Keller) 3 Credits, Intensive, Wednesday-Sunday, 8/7-8/11, 9:00am-5:00pm | CMU 126

Media creation is a multi-step effort, with thoughtful decision-making involved throughout the process. How do the choices you make in the telling and delivery of your story affect the reception of your message? This course is aimed at expanding thought about how online media is affecting storytelling. Additionally, students will gain hands-on practice in producing online video stories. The skills-based aspect of this course is designed to familiarize students with the technologies associated with storytelling. Specifically how to refine, shoot, edit, and distribute their online video.

COMMLD 530 A: Storytelling and Communication for Mission-Driven Organizations

(Melograna) 5 Credits, Full Term, Saturdays 6/29, 7/13, 7/20, 7/27, and 8/10 | 9:00am-5:00pm | SAV 130

Nonprofits, NGOs, campaigns and social enterprises are driven by their desire to make the world a better place. As their storytellers, our job is to make sure their messages reach the right audiences and recruit those audiences to the cause. Keeping in mind that mission-driven organizations will often work on complex issues involving vulnerable populations, our job is to pursue this work within an ethical framework that centers the concerns and desires of the people whom our clients serve. Upon completing the course, students will be able to work with mission-driven organizations as their primary storytellers.

COMMLD 543: Leadership Approaches to Equity Initiatives in Organizations

(Ross) 5 Credits, Full Term, Wednesdays 6/26-8/21 | 6:00-9:50pm | DEN 258

This course challenges and supports students to develop deeper self-awareness, hone stronger skills for learning across difference, and prepare themselves as organizational change-makers for diversity, equity, and inclusion. For better or worse, organizational change initiatives impact individuals, groups, organizations, and ultimately societies. Thus, courageous leaders throughout organizations must learn how to improve their relevant knowledge, skills, and awareness iteratively, in order to contribute effectively to genuine change-making. The course is designed to meet students where they are and coach them toward significant growth in self-awareness, skills, and understanding. Students learn collaboratively together in order to explore interconnections among the dimensions of our intersectional identities. Those who complete this course gain confidence in their ability to learn about uncomfortable topics and expand their understanding of the roles of individuals, groups, organizations, and societal structures in making real system change.

To all students interested in health equity and social justice:

·               Do you see things in the communities you work with and/or are a part of that you wish were different?

·               Do you want to help change the systems that produce health disparities?
