They will then pitch, research, and develop short form journalism projects (two parts) addressing an issue of public concern. This project will be iterative and they will get feedback in the form of focus groups comprised of peers and journalists.

This course explores the history of Korean cinema since the 1940s to the present, in particular its relationship to film industry, popular culture/genre, gender, and modernization. This course critically examines a select series of South Korean films ranging from the colonial period, the Golden Age in the early ’60s through the New Korean Cinema Age in the ’80s and ’90s to the present. The films chosen for examination reflect and explain the dynamic changes, ideological issues, and collective experience in contemporary Korean society and cultural life. The cinematic representations are scrutinized in the context of such themes as history, nationhood, gender, class, and modernization. Thus, in order to understand these films and the nature of their representations, key issues and developments in the political, social, and cultural history as well as in the film industry are also studied.

This course introduces selected general concepts of linguistics, and is organized in a “bottom-up” fashion from the smallest to the largest segments of language. It will start off by discussing some characteristics of human language and the differences between prescriptive and descriptive linguistics, and will proceed with English sounds, words, sentence structures, meaning, and language change. This introductory language course is primarily designed 1) to allow students to gain a sufficient amount of knowledge of the English language for further studies, and 2) to provide them with the tools necessary for understanding the nature of and for analyzing the English language. Through these tools, students are expected to see patterns of English on many levels sounds, words, grammar, and discourse.

The goal of this course is to make you familiar, at the conceptual and basic problem-solving level, with the physics of electricity, magnetism, heat, and waves, optics and modern physics. The basic philosophy of CUL312 can be summarized as follows: The approaches used to achieve these goals involve 1) lectures to interactively discuss and demonstrate the principles, 2) laboratory experiments allowing you to actively explore these principles, and 3) interaction with instructors in discussion sections to provide one-on-one help with concepts and problem solving.

The course examines the relations between government and society, liberty and economic growth; and social movements that undermine or enhance liberty and democratic politics. We analyze specific cases in East Asia and USA, but welcome comparisons to other regions. Students analyze the claims of key authors and develop coherent arguments of their own.

This course provides an overview of the field of international organizations. The course aims at examining the many ways in which states participate in global governance, with a special focus on the functions and activities of formal international institutions. The course will cover general purpose organizations, like the UN and also look the EU, as well as those international organizations with more specialized functions, such as North Atlantic Treaty Organization (security), the World Trade Organization (trade), the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank (finance and development). In addition, students are also encouraged to examine a number of important nongovernmental organizations. While such organizations are not the creation of states, but the creations of private actors, they are increasingly important as they serve the global public good.

This is an introductory undergraduate course in international relations. It aims to address both empirical issues and fundamental theories/concepts related to international relations. It is particularly appropriate for first-year students who took Introduction to Political Science. It is a daunting task to provide a short, accessible introduction to such a complex topic as “international relations.” The discipline of international relations is to study the relations between states. The ultimate goal of this course is to detect the main directions of the times we are living in. Some call it the post-Cold World War Era; others the era of globalization. In so doing, students in this course would have to look at: main actors (state and non-state), foreign behaviors of those actors, the international system (bi-polar, multi-polar, hegemony, or empire), international organizations (the UN and EU), world economic problems today, and world ecological problems (environment and resources).

Modern Stress and You is an English content and discussion course that deals with a different modern stress factor each week, exploring such subjects as Defining Success, Struggles with "lookism" culture, Difficulties with Communication in Relationships, The Stress of Technology, and more. Half the class is a lecture, introducing current information on each topic as well as possible solutions. The second half of class provides an opportunity for students to discuss these relevant life issues with their peers. Stress-relieving techniques are introduced weekly.

In view of the fact that cultures in English-speaking countries are vast in scope, the classes will be selective and exploratory focusing on some aspects of American, British, and other English-speaking cultures.

Students will be asked to relate such academic tools with cultural observations obtainable from their own past experiences, mass media, and other sources.

An introductory course of modern American drama, this class surveys major dramatists of Twentieth century America. This semester, we will be focusing on the dramatic interplay of deception, self-deception, and belief, as well as the perennial problem of the relation between the individual and society and home and the family as the problematic site of American utopia/dystopia. Readings will feature the conflict of veracity and mendacity at the level of relationships (professional, familial, and romantic) as well as the level of relations (social, cultural, and political). They will also show how questions about truth-telling underlie modern American drama itself, as provocations to a never-to-be-finished conversation about "realism," "naturalism," and "theatricality," In the end, we will be asking ourselves whether tragedy is still a viable dramatic form for our times. Major themes to be dealt with include the myth and truth of the American Dream, the idea of business as a way of life and an ethical code, family as the site of failed love, and self-fashioning as survival. In the course of the semester, we will focus particularly on four plays: Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey Into Night, Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie, Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, and Edward Albee’s The Goat. In addition to usual textual analyses of these texts, we will practice play-reading and acting in selected scenes of each play.
