You’re invited to attend...
Summer Session 2018 at Millikin University.
In this catalog you will find a wide range of courses and flexible meeting times. We’ve designed our course offerings to fit the needs of... • Current Millikin Students • Adult Enrichment Learners • Students attending other universities who want to earn credits while home for break • High School Students wanting to gain credits in escrow We have discounted tuition for our Summer Immersion 2018 courses and made it easy for you to enroll and register by fax 420-6789, online, or in person in the Registrar’s Office, Gorin Hall, Room 16. This summer we have also developed a larger offering of ONLINE courses, to make it easy for students not in the central Illinois area to have access. You’ll find the registration form in the back of the class listings and also online at <http://www.millikin.edu/immersion>. Take a look at the range of offerings prepared by our creative faculty. I think you’ll find that summer is a great time to develop new skills or to concentrate on a course you want (or need) to take. A summer immersion course can help you graduate early, improve your grade point average, or provide a once-in-alifetime experience. Join us for a great summer of learning, Dr. Randy Brooks Director, Summer School & Immersion Programs

Registration Procedures
Wednesday, April 11, 2018 – Registration begins for Summer & May Immersion term.

Last day to register for Summer Immersion classes will be the day before each class starts. Monday, May 21, 2018 – May Immersion term begins (see course descriptions for actual start and end dates for classes).
Adult Enrichment Courses Courses with the designation Adult Enrichment are designed to be of interest to adults in the area. Community adults will be able to enroll in these courses for the reduced fee of $167 per credit hour ($500 for a three-credit course). Expectations for these students will be identical to the traditional student. No credits or grade will be issued. No currently enrolled college students are eligible to take a course as an Adult Enrichment course.
Scheduled Courses This bulletin contains a list of courses planned for Summer School & May Immersion. Students should be aware that most of these courses have enrollment limits and may be oversubscribed. It is also possible that some courses will be canceled due to low enrollment. Therefore, students should include alternates on the Registration Form.
Travel Courses Priority in registration for oversubscribed courses is given to degree candidates at Millikin University.
In order to fully benefit from an international or travel experience, students should be in good physical and mental health. All participating students must meet program/course requirements. A Millikin University Waiver Release and Indemnification Agreement are required for all students participating in a travel course. All students are required to complete a Student Travel Contract with expense details and payment deadlines to enroll in the travel course. An international student travel card is also required for travel courses (international and domestic travel). See the Center for International Education, University Commons, Room 126, about obtaining this card and related required travel forms. The travel forms are also available from the Immersion/Summer School office, Shilling Hall, Room 209.
Internship/Independent/Directed Study In addition to the scheduled courses in this booklet, a limited number of Millikin faculty are available for internship/independent study/directed study courses during the Summer Immersion term. One academic credit is given for every 40 hours of internship, and every internship must be approved through the appropriate department. The internship, independent study, and directed study fees are set at $465 per credit hour plus a $22 per credit hour university fee. Credit will NOT be granted for
experiences prior to registration for the internship. No Summer internship registration will be accepted after June 30, 2018.
Student Accommodations Students who are seeking classroom accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act should submit documentation to the Office of Student Success at the time of registration.
To receive academic credit for internship/independent study/directed study courses, students must complete their registration at the University. A Millikin faculty member serves as a supervisor and, generally, a plan for the internship/independent study/directed study is discussed well in advance. The student and faculty supervisor shall complete the approved individual study contract form available from the Registrar. This form and the required paperwork must be filed with the Registrar by Friday, June 30, 2018, for the Summer Immersion and May term. In most areas, it is the student’s responsibility to arrange the details of the internship.
Continuing Millikin Students Students currently enrolled as degree candidates at Millikin University may enroll in Summer or May Immersion courses by registering online. Online registration for May Immersion courses closes the day before the course starts. For courses beginning after May, students may register at the Registrar’s Office prior to the 1st day of class.

Travel Course Contracts All travel courses have a unique Student Travel Contract agreement that specifies total expenses for the course.

Adult Enrichment students are also required to complete the Student Travel Contract.
Millikin invites high school students to enroll with special student status. This option is appropriate for juniors or seniors who have strong academic preparation (generally a B or better average in related high school courses). High school students should complete and submit the Registration Form, found in this bulletin, or available online at <http://www.millikin.edu/immersion>.
Visiting students are required to pay all travel course expenses in full prior to traveling.

Continuing Millikin students need to check with the Financial Aid Office regarding eligibility for loan options such as Stafford, or alternative loans. Students may make arrangements with the Office of Student Financial Services for alternative payment schedules.
Immersion or summer school courses may be applied toward the Millikin degree if the student is admitted later and enrolls as a degree candidate. Students may be able to transfer these courses to other institutions as well.
The required initial payment reserves a registration for the student in the travel course. Based on that payment, the University makes advanced purchases of flight tickets, lodging reservations and additional travel expenses that are non-refundable.
3
Once the initial payment for travel courses has been paid, the student is responsible for all charges incurred and expended by Millikin University for the travel course (airfare, housing, activities, etc.), even if he or she chooses to withdraw from travel courses.
Attendance Due to the short duration of May Immersion and Summer term courses, attendance is imperative. Each faculty member establishes an individual definition of satisfactory classroom attendance and informs students of this policy. Students are expected to attend regularly scheduled class meetings and laboratory sessions.
NOTE: The following withdrawal refund guidelines for immersion courses DO NOT APPLY to travel courses due to the travel expenses paid by the University several weeks in advance for each student.
It is the student’s responsibility to report circumstances regarding their absence to the instructor as soon as possible. In the event a student has difficulty reaching the instructor to report an absence, the Office of Inclusion and Student Engagement will assist the student at 217-424-6340.
Faculty/staff tuition waivers are valid only on a space available basis and when courses reach the minimum enrollment. Faculty/staff tuition waivers do not apply
to internship, independent, or directed study courses. Contact the Summer School & Immersion Director’s Office for additional information 217-424-6205.

Dyes and pigments (colored substances that are dissolved to prepare solutions that can be applied to many objects such as human cells, clothing, hair, housing components, car exteriors, and foods) can be used for aesthetic, artistic, and scientific purposes. This course is an overview of colored materials. Students will be required to learn basic chemistry, the history of pigments, how they are extracted from natural sources, and the chemistry behind making synthetic dyes. Students will also be asked to complete syntheses of one organic and one inorganic pigment. Basic analysis on the compounds produced will allow students to deduce if they made the desired compounds.

EN220-02/IN250-02 (CRN: 50016/50017) – LGBT Drama Instructor: Dr. George Zorn A survey of American LGBT Drama. Focuses on plays and playwrights that have had a significant impact in the representation of homosexual life onstage. Examines the historical, political, and cultural developments from which gay theatre emerged, and the communities that emerged in the process of creating gay theatre.
The purpose of this course is to immerse students in American studio cinema produced at the outset of the second half of the 20th century. During that time period the movies aided in shaping our evolving cultural identity as a nation, contributing to beliefs, norms, and ideals. Throughout the course students are expected to actively engage in both absorbing and dissecting these texts through viewing, critical analysis, and peer discussion. Films, both fiction and non-fiction, are historical texts that inevitably display elements of the society in which they were created and initially viewed. As such, movies have the power to reveal, create, and critique social norms. By studying films and film criticism produced in the United States 60 years ago, we develop a more complex understanding of that time period and foster further examination through juxtaposition of our contemporary worldview.

EN220-01/IN250-01 (CRN: 50014/50015) – The 1980s in American Film, Literature, and Culture (Hybrid) Instructor: Dr. Tony Magagna In this course, students will investigate the major events, issues, and individuals that shaped the 1980s in America – an which continue to shape our nation today. As a class, we will pair an exploration of the popular culture of the decade – films, comics, television, music, personal technologies, video games, and fashion – with an ongoing discussion of the national and global politics and cultural conflicts of the decade. In so doing, we will trace the major trends of the 1980s and examine how what we learned (or unlearned) as Americans and global citizens during “the Reagan years” continues to influence popular and political cultures at home and abroad even today.
EN220-03/IN250-03 (CRN: 50018/50019) – Jewish American Literature: Passion within Complexity (Online) Instructor: Dr. Vicky Gilpin This course focuses on American Jewish Literature, with an emphasis on modern Jewish Literature from 1900 to the current day. Although the immigrant experience is both universal and particular, and the American Jewish reaction to and development after the Holocaust is integral to Jewish Literature, these topics will inform the conversation but not be the primary conversation.
Topics include: The Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union; the rise of video games and personal computing, the AIDS crisis; MTV, Reaganomics; yuppies; apartheid; conspicuous consumption and the art of being “a material girl” (or guy); drug wars, “star wars,” culture wars, and secret wars; environmental concerns and disasters; the rise of the American teenager; globalization; and much more! Ultimately, we will hope to come away not only with a sense of how to define a decade in America, but also how a decade has itself helped to define America.
As Tony Michels notes, “Jews have experienced, to an unusual degree, divergent trajectories of cultural assimilation and differentiation, social integration and segregation, economic advancement and poverty, and sympathy and anti-Semitism . . . Jews have been understood by others and have understood themselves as an ethnicity, race, and religious community—sometimes all at once—throughout their history in the United States.” Because of the tumultuous nature of Jewish identity, what Levinson calls an “idiosyncratic self-fashioning,” the course will approach identity from multiple perspectives, allowing students to gain a broader understanding of the term and how one explores the concept. This, in turn, provides a foundation for students to explore ethical analysis of positions, themes, subthemes within the works.

EN301-01/IN350-02 (CRN: 50020/50021) – Critical Storytelling Instructor: Dr. Carmella Braniger The use of personal narrative and reflection in academic and scholarly contexts is a growing global trend. Academics everywhere are crafting their critical stories. But why personal narrative, why now? Welldeveloped critical stories raise questions that provoke readers to dig deep and think again, from a different perspective. Narrative can empower researchers, readers, and the storyteller to question, to think, to act, and to question yet again. This is the work we will engage in as a class, from identifying personal issues that speak to social global problems, drafting our own stories, revising them as a group, and advancing them toward publication in an edited book. Not only will we be sharing critical stories, but we’ll be partnering with an international publisher and engaging in all of the steps that go along with the process of publishing a book with a scholarly press. We will also be working with community members outside the university to engage them in their own storytelling processes too. The course will meet once a week in the evening for 3 hours over the course of the summer. Some class meetings may be held off campus.
EN366-01/IN350-03 (CRN: 50023/50024) – Frankenstein: The Mother of All Stories Instructor: Dr. Anne Matthews Frankenstein is an ur-text of English literature. Only 18 when she wrote it, Mary Shelley introduces to the canon a flesh-and-blood treatment of pregnancy and motherhood, as well as a concern about the conflict between family bonds and the (male) will. Her Gothic tale deals with, among other things, the figure of the "monster"—an "other" engendered and rejected by its willful creator—and the figure of the artist/creator as a visionary overreacher who trespasses on the divine, dabbles in forbidden knowledge, and neglects ordinary human ties.

IN250-04 (CRN: 50048) - Baseball in America Instructor: Gary Shaw
IN250-05 (CRN: 50050) – Philosophy Through the Black Mirror Instructor: Dr. Michael Hartsock
Baseball in America will study the development of the game as it influences the history and culture of the United States. Baseball is an American game that began in the mid 1800’s to become the national pastime. The course will look at the baseball’s history and focus on issues that have affected American life. We will discuss the integration of baseball, when Jackie Robinson became the first African American allowed to play with white players in the major leagues, and study the influx of international players. Currently 30% of players in major league baseball come from Latin America and Asia.
Like the Twilight Zone before it, the Netflix series Black Mirror offers a haunting exploration of contemporary society, particularly as it relates to technology and human nature. In this course, we will use the series Black Mirror as a lens through which we will analyze contemporary American culture and explore traditional philosophical issues. Some issues to be examined include skepticism, the meaning of life, morality, personal identity, and machine consciousness. In addition to viewing episodes of Black Mirror that examine the aforementioned issues, we will read relevant philosophical works to inform our discussions. In particular, we will look at how traditional problems in philosophy continue to shape the American consciousness through popular media.
From its inception baseball has had its episodes of misconduct and cheating, drug abuse and misuse, and more recently gross commercialism and greed. We will reflect on and discuss whether or not these flaws have spoiled the integrity of the game. Baseball players influence young athletes and children by their actions on and off the field. They are role models for many segments of the population. Ticket prices and commercialism at the ballpark have altered the way fans are able to participate. Students will begin to think and question whether the game has lost its appeal and accessibility to the public, but will also examine the many positive contributions of baseball’s gifted athletes who continue to impress us through their work ethic and commitment to teamwork.

In what some deem a xenophobic culture of globalization, students will use J.K. Rolwing’s Harry Potter series to examine notions of “othering,” marginalization, and difference; and, explore how these differences can be used to perpetuate political corruption, social injustice, longstanding and historic ethnic animosities, cultural tensions, racial hatred, violence, political feuds, unjust policies, and even allout war. Students in this course will participate in discussions of relevant texts (e.g. books/movies in the Harry Potter series, select articles &/or book chapters or sections, and Internet resources).

from Hell
The focus of this section of IN350 relates to how stories are told using data and the ethical treatment of data in a comparative context between the United States and the European Union, specifically Italy. Data is being collected at unprecedented rates across the globe. Students will examine the difference between how data is collected, analyzed, and disseminated in the United States vs. the European Union. How do different countries treat data and its use in areas such as: target marketing, recommendation engines, and artificial intelligence?
IN350-08 (CRN: 50056) – World Cinema: Intercultural Dialogue and Global Culture Instructor: Dr. Paul Toure In this course we will study important films from Africa, the Maghreb and the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America, and familiarize ourselves with the basic terminology of film analysis while examining themes on global studies through the lenses of ethical reasoning. In our study of the theme of “Understanding Intercultural Dialogue and Global Culture Using Films,” we will consider the analysis of ideas such as: cultural conversation; local cultures; cosmopolitanism; global coexistence. We will ask ourselves questions like the following: What alienates different characters from the norms of their respective cultures? How do differences of race, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and transnational culture affect the ways that characters relate each other, and that viewers relate to those characters? How do viewers understand and are stimulated an ethics of global philosophy of living together?
Are these uses of personal and public data ethically appropriate? To examine these differences, students learn how to use a data analysis software tool, QlikSense, to craft a story using Italian cultural and tourism data. Using publicly available datasets, students will design visualizations using QlikSense while researching and reflecting on how Italian culture perceives data collection and dissemination.

This special topic course will explore leadership using some of today’s most influential popular culture figures, including but not limited to characters from The Walking Dead, The Avengers, and Mass Effect.

PH360-01/IN350-11 (CRN: 50078/50079) – The Ethics of War and Peace (Online) Instructor: Dr. Eric Roark
SP223-01 (CRN: 50090) - Intermediate Spanish Instructor: Luis Peralta
This online course introduces students to some of the most central theoretical issues within the topics of: war, human rights, and international law. This introduction is done primarily through the use of Michael Walzer’s Just and Unjust Wars as well as a number of supplemental texts. Walzer’s book utilizes a number of historical examples in order to yield a just war theory. One very important cross-over question, of which there are many, between war and human rights that we will consider is whether or not people (or the governments of people) have a moral obligation to intervene (by waging war) when the basic human rights of others are placed in jeopardy or simply disregarded.
This course is taught in Spanish. Intermediate Spanish is intended to cover the cultural aspects of the Hispanic culture and an overview of the previously studied grammar topics. Students are expected to engage in conversations and analysis in Spanish including oral presentations, essays and exams.

SP350-01/IN350-12 (CRN: 50091/50092) – The Identities of Spain in Film, Art, and Literature (TRAVEL COURSE) Instructor: Dr. Julio Enriquez-Ornelas and Dr. Nancy Duran
Required Text book: Walzer, Michael. Just and Unjust Wars, 4th ed. Basic Books, 1977 (2006). ISBN: 0465037070 SO220-01/IN251-01 (CRN: 50080/50081) – Sociology of Popular Culture & Media (Online) Instructor: Dr. Ken Laundra
In this interdisciplinary course, students will be immersed in Spain. While abroad, students will improve their Spanish skills and learn about the many identities of Spain through critical analysis of art, literature and film. Students will discover the rich culture of Madrid and the autonomous states of Cataluña, Valencia and Andalucía.
This online course has been designed to introduce you to the media process, but also to media production and multinational media conglomerates and non-profit, free speech media. Media messages are also examined from a social constructionist vantage point to better understand the exchange of attitudes, values and beliefs between media systems and the rest of society. What do various media messages say about us as a society? How is society shaped by these messages? We’ll also examine how popular culture, expressed through media and other social institutions, actually reflects and perpetuates social inequality, including differing effects by class, race and gender. We will actively examine these impacts of popular culture by engaging in observational activities designed to reflect responsible democratic citizenship in the U.S. through this more critical sociological lens, the sociological imagination.
Students will also develop the skills to think critically and gain an ethical understanding of the cultural complexities of Spain by exploring the following historical sites: La Plaza Mayor, Museo del Prado, Las Ramblas, La Sagrada Familia, and La Alhambra. In doing so, students will dive into Spain’s culture and experience its melting pot while discovering how a history of global influence has formed a land of many identities. Drawing from this study abroad experience, students will develop a creative/research project that examines how cultural identity is understood, constructed and imagined.
