4.00 credits AMS3615 Borderlands Advanced Liberal Arts This American Studies course draws from history, cultural studies, and ethnic studies to examine subjects that defy easy categorization. It focuses on the concept of "borders," shedding light on the forces that separate groups of people; it also focuses on the concept of "borderlands," highlighting the imagined nature of national (and other) borders and emphasizing the contested, heterogeneous and fluid nature of national, group and individual identity. We will study physical means of crossing national borders-such as migration and adoption-as well as the role of technology and liberation movements in breaking down borders among groups of people. Using new insights from scholarly conversations and multiple media sources (including sound, film and artwork, as well as historical, biographical, and autobiographical written texts), we will seek to render more careful portraits of life on the borderlands. Each unit employs borderlands theory to investigate the nature of these encounters and the identities that emerge from them, and considers the themes of race, religion, national politics, gender identity, and sexuality Prerequisites: 3 Intermediate Liberal Arts Courses (CVA, LVA, HSS)

4.00 credits ANT3610 LANGUAGE & SOCIETY (Advanced Liberal Arts) The purpose of this advanced course is to explore human communication, focusing on the relationship between linguistic performance and social identity. The course begins with a look at how language developed in humans, the difference between human language and animal communication, the basic structural aspects of language, and how grammatical structures and vocabulary influence a speaker's "world view." We will also unpack some of the popular misconceptions about language and language change. We will examine the relationship between linguistic identity and nationalism. We will also look at variables such as class, ethnicity and gender and how they affect speech style and listener perception. By the end of the course, students should have a clear understanding of how communication is culturally constructed, and how linguistic performance is an integral part of human social identity.

4.00 credits BRC3501 Entrepreneurship and New Ventures in China 4-cr General Credit Donna Kelley (Note: This course is a variation of EPS3501, 02, and 03 and as such satisfies the pre-requisite EPS350x and in meeting the Entrepreneurship concentration requirement of EPS350x.) This four-credit entrepreneurship elective is part of the 16-credit Russia-China program. The course will introduce students to the nature and process of assessing and shaping entrepreneurial opportunities in China. It will build on the Liberal Arts China elective, enabling students to apply their understanding about China's cultural, political, social and economic environment to understand drivers of entrepreneurship and to identify and assess entrepreneurial opportunities. Near the end of the 1970s, entrepreneurship was introduced as a supplement to China's socialist economy, and the government has increasingly acknowledged the key economic role played by the private sector. This provides a relevant and unique context through which to study entrepreneurial activity. We will examine the distinct qualities of entrepreneurship, and the factors that influence new venture creation in this diverse and rapidly changing economy. We will accomplish this, not just through discussions, readings and cases, but also through immersion in the culture and direct contact with Chinese entrepreneurs. We will visit entrepreneurial firms and to other entities involved with entrepreneurship, such as investors and government officials. Students will maintain a journal reflecting on their visits and experiences from an entrepreneurship perspective. They will write a paper analyzing an entrepreneur and their own entrepreneurial capacity. They will work in teams to conduct a qualitative assessment of customers and write a feasibility plan for a entrepreneurial opportunity in China. Prerequisites: OEM & MCE Co-requisites: BRC3502, BRC3601 and BRC3602 Concentration mandatory course for Entrepreneurship, equivalent to EPS 3501

4.00 credits BRC3502 The Business Environment in Russia 4-cr General Credit William Coyle A component of the 16-credit Russia-China course, this two week, 4-credit advanced general credit course in St. Petersburg, Russia will build upon the work done in the preceding two weeks in the Russia in Modernity: History, Culture and Politics course taught by Prof. Brian Seitz. One premise of the course is that you cannot understand the business environment of a country without understanding and having an appreciation of the history, politics and culture of that country. So although this is a course about the business environment of Russia, it will explicitly build upon the foundation laid by Prof. Brian Seitz. By the time this course starts the students would have spent two weeks in Russia. So students will be familiar with their surroundings. They will see how things appear but they will not have an appreciation of the immense change in the business environment in a period shorter than they have been alive. So the course will start with a history of the transformation of the communist centrally planned Soviet Union to capitalistic Russia. They will see how Russia had to change its economic and legal system entirely. Areas such as the formation of a legal code, the creation of a banking system, and the privatization of existing companies and the creation of newly created companies will be explored. Then students will start to consider the current business environment. The role of oil and natural gas and other commodities will be analyzed on how it affects the economy of Russia. Business sectors such as retail and manufacturing will be considered. Tourism and trade, customs and import/export issues will be analyzed. Imbedded within the course will be discussions about the ethical business environment in Russia and the cost of corruption to the economy and to society. Students will also have the opportunity to visit a number of companies to illustrate and provide concrete examples of issued raised in class. Proposed company visits would be in the banking, retail, information technology and manufacturing sector. Prerequisites: OEM and MCE Co-requisites: BRC3501, BRC3601, BRC3602
