"The thing that excites me the most is that the program is truly interdisciplinary. It brings together theories and methods from the humanities and social sciences to address compelling issues in society," said Susan Kaiser , professor of women and gender studies, and textiles and clothing. "We really have something unique here at UC Davis that we can capitalize on." Judith Newton , director of the women and gender studies program, called the cultural studies program "one of the best things to happen on campus intellectually and socially in the last 10 years." Newton said the new program creates a structure to bring together scholars who’ve been doing cultural studies work on similar topics, but in different departments. "I’ve been talking and learning from people whom I hardly ever saw four years ago. It’s tremendously exciting," she said. "It makes it possible to think about things in a really comparative way, which can really challenge your original assumptions. We’re unsettling each other’s ways of approaching our material. It’s great." Cultural studies has come into its own over the past quarter-century, combining the methodologies of literature, sociology, anthropology, the arts and other disciplines to look at the cultural framework of everyday life.

Extractions: DOING ENVIRONMENTAL SOCIOLOGY IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD Charles Harper Department of Sociology and Anthropology Creighton Unviersity, Omaha, NE I apologize for not having a complete paper to put on the teaching environmental sociology web site. As an invited panelist at the 1998 ASA Teaching Environmental Sociology session, we were asked to give a presentation about the most useful things about how I taught the course that I could share with others. This is a simple "write up" of those notes and my presentation. TEACHING CONTEXT Goals and Assumptions The first of two overarching goals of the environmental sociology course is to facilitate learning about the big, abstract issues about the interactions and of human communities and their biophysical environments, over time and in diverse sociocultural settings. The second is for students to comprehend and become engaged with important set of contemporary problems with various dimensions (biophysical, social, cultural, political, ethical, and personal). After much reflection, I came up with three major assumptions from which I operate in teaching environmental sociology:

Extractions: Biography Dr. Sheldon Ungar has researched real world events that have produced social anxiety including the nuclear arms race, emerging diseases, and global climate change. He has also researched media responses to these events, and their relation to public reactions. Ungar's current work is an examination of knowledge and ignorance among university students, seeking to identify what students do know, and how popular culture and new media affect students' "cultural literacy." Ungar received his Bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University of McGill before attending York University, where he was awarded his Master's degree and his Doctorate. Ungar taught briefly at York while he was completing his Ph.D. and joined the faculty of the University of Toronto shortly afterwards. At University of Toronto, Scarborough, Ungar has spent seven years as Supervisor of the Undergraduate Sociology program and served as Assistant Chair from 1984 until 1987.

Extractions: A wide range of careers in the media, the arts, the professions and the public sector is open to graduates. The extensive research and postgraduate teaching activities of the Department feed new ideas into the course and inform your learning. The courses are kept up to date allowing you to focus on society as it is today. Language options are available and you can spend a year studying abroad. Skills in computing, communications and research are developed on the course. Sociologists study social relationships. Sociology questions assumptions about the social world showing that such things as the family, sex and gender relationships, and race are socially constructed rather than naturally given. Sociologists are also concerned with how power operates in society and the way social institutions advantage and disadvantage different groups of people.

Extractions: from More Writing Center handouts So, just what is a sociological perspective? At its most basic, sociology is an attempt to understand and explain the way that individuals and groups interact within a society. How exactly does one approach this goal? C. Wright Mills, in his book The Sociological Imagination (1959), writes that "neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both." Why? Well, as Karl Marx observes at the beginning of The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte ( 1852), humans "make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past." Thus, a good sociological argument needs to balance both individual agency and structural constraints. That is certainly a tall order, but it is the basis of all effective sociological writing. Keep it in mind as you think about your own writing. What are the most important things to keep in mind as you write in sociology? Pay special attention to the following issues:

Kaczynski Summary Presentation Life Main Works Selected Bibliography Documentation and links on Znaniecki Presentation Life Florian Witold Znaniecki was born in a noble family in Swiatniki near Wloclawek (Poland). From his earliest years he displayed an unusual interest in literature and philosophy. Some his poetic verses were published. His career as a student of the Warsaw University was short; after few months he was expeled because of his participation in a student's protest against Russian administration. From 1903 to 1909 Znaniecki was abroad. He studed literature, philosophy, theory of science, pedagogics and sociology in the universities of Geneva, of Zurich and of Paris where he became increasingly interested in sociology and attended lectures and seminars conductesd by such professors as Rauh, Durkheim, Lalande, Levy-Bruhl and Belot. He graduated in philosophy in Jagiellonian University in Cracow and after, in 1910, he received a Ph.D. on the basis of the dissertation entitled The problem of Values in Philosophy. In Warsaw he took up an administrative job as a director of the Polish Emigrants' Protective Association and in this capacity Znaniecki met in 1913 with W. I. Thomas who had just started a wide empirical project concerning the european emigrants in the USA. In that period Znaniecki was the active member of the Polish Psychological Society and the Polish Philosophical Society; he published his main philosophical works and he translated the masterpiece Creative Evolution by Henri Bergson in to Polish.

http://www.wsu.edu/~amerstu/tm/interp.html

Extractions: Structuralism and semiotics , derived primarily from the Swiss linguistic theorist Ferdinand de Saussure and American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce , also played a very important role in these developments. Most versions of these approaches build on the notion that culture is structured like a language with certain rules of combination analogous to grammar and syntax. Semiotics has been applied to the study of virtually every kind of cultural object from fashion, to architecture, to food, to television, as well as to various linguistic, visual and aural art forms. It has been applied in and across a number of fields including anthropology ( Claude Levi-Strauss ), folklore ( Vladimir Propp ), literature ( Roland Barthes, Julia Kristeva ), psychoanalysis ( Jacques Lacan ), film (Christian Metz, Teresa de Lauretis) and general cultural studies ( Umberto Eco In the context of AS, structuralism emerges in the mid- to late-70s, partly as a desire to put the myth and symbol school on a more "scientific" ground, and partly through a more general influx of European theory; while structuralism as a term was largely overshadowed by its "post-"ing, semiotics remains one of the most pervasive and lively approaches to cultural studies. One key, related development has been a focus on "material culture," on artifacts (furniture, buildings, etc.) that can be "read" as social history via methods that frequently include the semiotic but draw also from archeology and other traditional anthropological and history-based tools, as well as from the fields of folklore studies and art history, among others. More recently, the influence of anthropology has returned in new form via the hermeneutic ethnography of
