CORE
200 linkages are intended
for 2nd and 3rd year students.
When
searching Web Advisor for “CORE 200” you will
find currently offered course linkages
listed. Do not stop there,
and do
not pay attention to “closed” on
that page. Students should continue on
to
find the 2 individual corequisite courses and register for both (e.g. for CORE 201, register for ENG 203 AND
the designated section of HIS 103 but not CORE 201).
…and DON’T FORGET—the CORE 200 requirement may also be
met in a great variety of ways through STUDY ABROAD!
CORE 400: Global Questions
Examine a problem of global significance, and then address it directly
in our local communities.
The CORE 400 linkages being offered in Summer
2006 are:
CORE 404
Narratives: Cultural Identity
Stories help us to understand ourselves, our
communities, and our cultures. But who writes
these stories, and what power do they hold over
our lives? In this course we will examine what
happens to a culture when stories come into conflict
during times of political dominance of one
government or culture over another. Our readings
will address different countries or cultural
regions in different semesters. Overall the
course is designed to investigate three regions
or cultures including Latin America, India, the
Middle East and various portions of Africa.
First required course meeting is on
Thursday, May 10th. This will be a 3 hour
meeting and the time and place will be
announced. Course work will be a combination of
online assignments spanning the period from May
21 to June 22, and on-site classes held during
the 3rd 3-week summer session (3 cr.).
Instructor: Dr. Rebecca Duncan (duncanr@meredith.edu)
will provide more detail to interested students.
CORE 406 Social
Welfare Policy from a Human Rights Perspective
What is our responsibility for those who cannot
or will not look after themselves? Different
societies reflecting their respective ideologies
address these issues from a variety of
perspectives. This course will examine the
ideologies and perspectives that have shaped
social welfare policy in the United States and
in other societies around the world. Then,
using the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
(1948) and other international covenants as a
lens, the course will examine the resulting
social welfare policies and the intentional and
unintentional impacts these policies have on
vulnerable and oppressed popuations. This course
requires 15 hours of service learning activity.
Prerequisite: 75 credit hours completed upon
course enrollment. Also offered as SWK 302.
Summer 07 3-week session I (3 cr.)
Note: For “old gen ed”
students CORE 400 courses can fulfill
requirements just as Capstone courses did.
