The hospitality organization’s use a variety of information technologies to facilitate various business activities such as reservation, marketing, operations, and management, with a direct impact on revenues and market share. A perfect synergy between information systems and the hospitality industry requires decision-makers to not only understand the functionalities of advanced systems, but also be able to successfully interpret systems’ analyses for their current management practices (e.g., yield management). Using an advanced lodging management system as an effective instructional tool, this course focuses on the fundamentals of management systems within the today’s hospitality organizations in general and lodging operations in particular. Students will be exposed to industry examples, in-depth discussions, and simulation projects about how to strategically integrate system applications such as property management, reservation management, sales & marketing management, point of sales systems, and meeting space rentals, etc. within a hotel setting, as well as their impacts on organizations and the industry as a whole.

This course charts past and present artistic mediations of racial and ethnic experiences in the United States. These include paintings of the New Frontier and 19th century folk art, ranging across the Harlem Renaissance and New Deal photography, from Chicano murals and the art activism of the Civil Rights Movement, to the contemporary American reception of Chinese art and the digital spaces occupied by activist groups on the Internet. In the struggle to understand the relation between self and other, artists have critically engaged with the images that define our common sense of belonging – images that saturate the public sphere via mass media, advertising, textbooks, museums, and shopping malls. This engagement ranges from a rejection of stereotypes to their appropriation, from the discovery of alternative histories to the rewriting of dominant narratives, from concepts of difference to theories of diversity. While taking a close look at individual artists and movements, this class locates them within their respective contexts. We will discuss socio-political discourses, including essentialism, structuralism, postmodernism, and post-colonialism, and we will question the validity of such concepts as nationalism and identity in an era of global politics that celebrates the hybrid self. The ultimate goal of the course is to find ways of adequately imagining and imaging an American identity today. Note: This course fulfills the Race & Diversity (GD) requirement for students under GenEd and Studies in Race (RS) for students under Core.

The course will examine manifestations of racism in our society and their reflection in the art world. Areas of major focus will include non-white influences on American artists; the exclusion of artists of color from the mainstream; the perpetuation of racist practices toward culturally diverse art forms and artists; the attitudes, behaviors, and expectation of students toward art and race. Note: This course can be used to satisfy a university Core Studies in Race, Writing Intensive, and American Culture (XC) requirement. Although it may be usable towards graduation as a major requirement or university elective, it cannot be used to satisfy any of the university GenEd requirements. See your advisor for further information.
