AMCULT 301.006/ASIANPAM 301.003 - Asian American Musical Scenes
Instructor: Ho Chak Law
Credits: 3

Day/Time: TTH 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Location: 3463 Mason Hall


For students who are interested in the social and political aspects of music are encouraged to take this course. No performance experience is required.

This course (“Asian American Musical Scenes”) explores Asian American history and culture through the lens of music. It relates a selection of musical genres/traditions (ranging from Taiko and Cantonese opera to jazz and hip-hop) to the social lives of Asian Americans in addition to issues/concepts/phenomena such as (im)migration, Orientalism, Afro-Asian solidarity, and community building. It aims to illuminate the important but often underestimated role of music in the politics of representation and participation.
 


CJS 451.002 - Topics in Japanese Studies: Japanese Politics and Society
Instructor: Charles McClean
Credits: 3
Day/Time: Tuesdays 4-7 PM
Location: Weiser 455


This class introduces students to important puzzles about contemporary Japanese politics and society, discusses various ways in which scholars have attempted to solve these puzzles, and suggests pathways for future research. Together, we will seek to explain public policy outcomes across a wide range of topics, including gender equality, nuclear energy, territorial disputes, population aging, and immigration. In the process, we will learn: (1) the important actors in Japanese politics (e.g., voters, politicians, parties, bureaucrats, and firms), (2) the positions that different actors take with respect to various policies, as well as the sources of these policy preferences, and (3) how political institutions block or enhance the representation of these actors’ interests.

The course is listed as being intended for upper-level undergraduates (Junior/Senior) and graduate students, but lower-level undergraduates are welcome to take the course if interested!


CMPLXSYS 251/SOC 251 - Computational Social Sciences
Instructor: Daniel Romero
Credits: 4
Day/Time: TTh 2-3 PM
Location: 120 West Hall


Interested in data, social media analytics, computational modeling?

Due to the growth in electronic sources such as cell phones, Facebook, Twitter, and other online platforms, researchers now have enormous amounts of data about every aspect of our lives -  from what we buy, to where we go, to who we know, to what we believe.  This has led to a revolution in social science, as we are able to measure human behaviour with precision largely thought impossible just a decade ago. Computational Social Science is an exciting and emerging field that sits at the intersection of computer science, statistics, and social science. This course provides hands-on, intermediate-level instruction in the methods and ideas of Computational Social Science. We will discuss how new online data sources and methods that are being used to analyze them can shed new light on old social science questions, and also ask brand new questions. We will also explore some of the ethical and privacy challenges of living in a world where big data and algorithmic decision-making have become more commonplace. Each week, students will have the opportunity to try their hand at analyzing big data from sources ranging from online dating profiles to New York city taxicabs to #metoo Tweets and other sources.


COMPLIT 241 - Topics in Comparative Literature:  Adventures in Audio Storytelling
Instructor: Elisabeth Fertig
Credits: 3
Day/Time: TTh 8:30 - 10:00 AM
Location: 2347 Mason Hall


This course is a collaborative and interactive introduction to audio composition, taught by a fellow passionate amateur of audio storytelling. We will start by cultivating a practice of close listening as we investigate the building blocks of what makes great radio and podcast stories. You will be exposed to a wide variety of formats, styles and subjects of audio narrative and documentary—from radio art, to This American Life, to experimental and amateur podcasts—and challenged to begin listening like a radio producer: what brings these stories to life? what choices did the creators make? what are the sonic raw materials of the piece, and how were they put together? etc. Through a series of deepening prompts, workshops, and exercises, we will simultaneously begin developing the skills to produce audio narrative compositions of our own: storytelling, recording, interviewing, and editing—supported by the facilities and staff of the Duderstadt Center and other multimedia resources on UM’s campus. Throughout the term, each student will be working on a mini-podcast final project: a chance to practice and deepen our growing audio skills. This practical training will be accompanied by reading and listening exercises that will gradually deepen your understanding of the history and politics of radio and podcasting, supplemented with analytic tools from the critical discourses of media theory and sound studies, and queer and feminist theory, as we seek to critically contextualize the past, present and future of podcasting as an art form and an industry. All technical equipment will be made available to you at no cost, though you should ideally have a smartphone for in-class audio recording practice. No prior audio experience is necessary, but an existing curiosity about podcasts and/or longform radio journalism, and a strong desire to learn audio production skills, are recommended.



SOC 428/ASIAN 490/PUBPOL 428 - Contemporary China
Instructor: Xiaohong Xu
Credits: 3
Day/Time: MW 2:30pm - 4:30pm
Location: 3242 LSA


China has a long history and yet has undergone a series of drastic social transformations in the contemporary era. The magnitude, pace, and tumultuousness of these changes and surprising continuities alongside them raise many challenging questions. This course takes a historical and global perspective to understand the social dynamics of contemporary China, with a focus on political economy as well as major social institutions such as family, work, education, religion, and cultural practices. Understanding the dynamics of social changes in China, including its changing relationship with a changing global scene, is crucial to both advance social scientific knowledge and informed public discussion. This course examines social changes in contemporary China, with this broad vision in mind.


SOC 495.005 - Topics in Sociology: History of Sociology
Instructor: George Steinmetz
Credits: 3
Day/Time: TTh 1-2:30 PM
Location: 3242 LSA

This 3-credit course asks why and how we write the history of social science, with a focus on sociology. As to the first question, the history of sociology can be seen as an essential part of all sociological research. It helps the researcher understand the intellectual terrain in which they find themselves, including the overt and latent assumptions guiding research. It is also a form of self-analysis or self–understanding for the sociologist that can improve research and understanding.

With regard to the second question, this course will explore the different ways in which the history of sociology can be written. We will examine the theories of Marx, Freud, and Bourdieu, as well as approaches focused entirely on close reading of texts. We will compare the different approaches to writing the history of sociology.

We will read case studies of the history of sociologists working in the following settings: colonialism, racism, slavery, exile, and the Cold War. We will read autobiographical and biographical texts as well as collective biographies and portrayals of entire generations, schools, and intellectual fields of conflict.

Specifically, we will examine a subset of the following social scientists as case studies: Theodor Adorno, Hannah Arendt, Pierre Bourdieu, Charles Cooley, W.E.B. Du Bois, Emile Durkheim and the “Durkheimians”, Norbert Elias, Karl Marx, Margaret Mead, C. Wright Mills, and Orlando Patterson.

Students do not need to have any prior exposure to these sociologists or theorists, although it would be helpful to have taken an introductory course in sociology and/or sociological theory.
