Summer course HAPP 405 Contemporary Issues in Long Term Care Explore changing needs/transitions of the Silver Tsunami
As the population of the U.S. continues to age, it is becoming increasingly more important to provide for the housing, care and social needs of the "Silver Tsunami". This course explores the changing needs and wants of the elderly and the preparation necessary to transition from the work environment to the retirement phase of life.  

This course surveys a very important service and policy component of the health care system. A brief history of the evolution of long-term care provides the foundation to analyze issues such as social, economic and political environments, as well as credentialing, insurance and reimbursement.

SUMMER 2016

ANTH 211: CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY

GEP "Culture" OR "Social Science" (3 credits)

Anthropology is both a theoretical and applied field involving the study of humanity in its socio-cultural dimensions. The goal of this course is to provide a broad perspective of human life through cross-cultural comparisons of topics such as language, race and ethnicity, economics, gender, politics, ritual, art, and religion. Students will learn how anthropological theories and methods developed over time, research skills, and how to present ideas effectively as a speaker and writer in a social science format. 

The course introduces students to the concepts, approaches, and skills of a particular discipline - Cultural Anthropology concerned with intercultural studies. The class will examine various anthropological approaches to understanding human behavior, and highlights insights to other cultures as well to our own culture.

Here's an excerpt to get you started: 

3 Reasons You Might Be Afraid To Speak Up For Muslims – And How To Do It Anyway 
by Andrew Hernann
Source: http://everydayfeminism.com/2016/04/being-an-ally-for-muslims/

“…but seriously, you can’t trust Muslims,” a family friend told me a few weeks ago.

“Wait, what?” I asked, wondering how a seemingly innocent conversation about baseball had taken such a horrible turn.

“They’re all terrorists,” he said. 

I paused….I’d been down this road before.

I imagined what would happen if I contradicted him again. He’d tell me how he’d read about the Qur’an on the Internet and that he “knows” that Islam is a “religion of violence.” He’d cite right wing news outlets and politicians who espouse Islamophobic perspectives.

And he’d dismiss my counter-arguments as symptomatic of the “political correctness” that has supposedly weakened American culture.

Did I have the energy to call him out for the umpteenth time?

I wish that I could say that it was some abstract sense of social justice that ultimately motivated me to speak up. But it wasn’t.

Instead, I imagined what kind of ally I was (not) being to the people I love and care about by staying silent.

I imagined some of my students. The fiancé of one of my best friends. Most of my interlocutors in West Africa.

How would the many Muslims in my life respond to this family friend’s dangerous rhetoric?

And what would they think if they knew that I had permitted it to continue unchecked? Especially because, as a non-Muslim in an Islamophobic society, I am in the privileged position to speak out without (for the most part) fearing for my safety.

So I took a deep breath, moved my gaze from my toes to his eyes, and started in.

Both before and after the recent terrorist attack in Brussels, presidential candidates, congresspersons and parliamentarians from the from all around the world have spread toxic Islamophobic messages, often while inciting violence against Muslims.

And irresponsible journalists the world over have broadcasted such hate speech, directly and indirectly validating both the politicians and their oppressive values. Perhaps even more problematically, because of the widespread circulation of these messages on traditional and social media, they have also permeated everyday discourses.

It’s not “just” bigoted, attention- and power-seeking politicians and pundits who spread ignorance and hate regarding Islam and Muslim communities. Now it’s also some of our friends, our family members, our neighbors, our teachers and our co-workers. 

Fortunately, bluster aside, most social justice-minded folks recognize the dangers of such speech. We know that it inaccurately represents Islam and perpetuates the oppression of and sometimes even violence against Muslim individuals and communities. We know that we need to respond.

Yet, we are often reluctant to do so. Why?
