WINTER STUDY PROGRAM

REMINDERS ABOUT WSP REGISTRATION

All students who will be on campus during the 2010-2011 academic year must register for WSP. Registration will take place in the early part of fall semester. If you are registered for a senior thesis in the fall which must be continued through Winter Study by departmental rules, you will be registered for your Winter Study Project automatically. In every other case, you must complete registration. First-year students are required to participate in a Winter Study that will take place on campus; they are not allowed to do 99's.

If you think your time may be restricted in any way (ski meets, interviews, etc.), clear these restrictions with the instructor before signing up for his/her project.

Remember, for cross-listed projects, you should sign up for the subject you want to appear on your record.

For many beginning language courses, you are required to take the WSP Sustaining Program in addition to your regular project. You will be automatically enrolled in this Sustaining Program, so no one should list this as a choice.

The grade of honors is reserved for outstanding or exceptional work. Individual instructors may specify minimum standards for the grade, but normally, fewer than one out of ten students will qualify. A grade of pass means the student has performed satisfactorily. A grade of perfunctory pass signifies that a student's work has been significantly lacking but is just adequate to deserve a pass.

If you have any questions about a project, see the instructor before you register.

Finally, all work for WSP must be completed and submitted to the instructor no later than January 27, 2011. Only the Dean can grant an extension beyond this date.

WINTER STUDY 99'S

Sophomores, juniors and seniors are eligible to propose "99's," independent projects arranged with faculty sponsors, conducted in lieu of regular Winter Study courses. Perhaps you have encountered an interesting idea in one of your courses which you would like to study in more depth, or you may have an interest not covered in the regular curriculum. In recent years students have undertaken in-depth studies of particular literary works, interned in government offices, assisted in foreign and domestic medical clinics, conducted field work in economics in developing countries, and given performances illustrating the history of American dance. Although some 99's involve travel away from campus, there are many opportunities to pursue intellectual or artistic goals here in Williamstown.

99 forms are available online: http://web.williams.edu/Registrar/winterstudy/99direct.html

The deadline for submitting the proposals to faculty sponsors is September 30, 2010.

AFRICANA STUDIES

AFR 25 Miami: Gateway to the Caribbean (Same as Latina/o Studies 25, History 25 and Religion 26)
In this course, students will explore transnational Caribbean communities in Miami through participant observation, archival research, and experiential education. By studying the formation and internal dynamics of Cuban, Dominican, Haitian, and Puerto Rican diasporas in Miami, students will be challenged to think about what it means that these communities have built a home base within the nation-state of the United States. In particular, this course will pay attention to a range of interconnected themes, including: motivations behind migrating to Miami, immigration policies, city residential patterns, and community organizations that have both helped and hindered the development of these diverse communities in south Florida. We will also investigate the ways particular immigrant and exile populations have negotiated living in the same urban space, sometimes disagreeing over resources, while at alternate times forming tentative alliances with other Caribbean diasporas, African Americans, and North Americans. In advance of the two weeks of travel, students will be expected to read selected methodological pieces on participant observation and archival work as well as historical essays on the foundation of different communities in south Florida (for instance, Elizabeth Aranda and Mary Chamberlain in Caribbean Migration to Western Europe and the United States [Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2009]). Once in Miami, students will: Attend an introductory session on participant observation research; visit and work in the University of Miami's Special Collections Archive; tour key neighborhoods (Little Havana, Little Haiti, Black Grove); visit various major religious and historical sites that serve as diaspora community centers, such as la Ermita de la Caridad, the Freedom Tower, and Vizcaya; and volunteer with local agencies that work around issues of (im)migration, elder care, and youth engagement in the various communities. Knowledge of Creole and/or Spanish will be useful for this type of ethnographic research and volunteer work.
Students will be expected to keep a journal of their experiences and complete a 10-page research paper that combines participant observation and/or oral histories with archival research about a particular Caribbean community in Miami. Method of evaluation (e.g., 10-page paper, final project, presentation, etc.): Students will be expected to keep a journal of their experiences and complete a 10-page research paper that combines participant observation and/or oral histories with archival research about a particular Caribbean community in Miami.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limit: 10. Not open to first-year students. If over-enrolled, selection will be based on application essays and interviews. Preference will be given to majors and concentrators in Africana Studies, Latino/a Studies, Religion, and History. Priority will also be given to students who can speak Creole and/or Spanish.
Estimated cost per student: $2538.
Mandatory info meeting on Wednesday, September 15 at 7 p.m. in Griffin 7.

ANSO 11 Berkshire Farm Internship
A field placement at Berkshire Farm Center and Services for Youth in Canaan, New York. Berkshire Farm Center is a residential treatment facility for troubled, at-risk adolescent boys who have been remanded by the Family Court for treatment and intervention. These youths come primarily from lower socio-economic strata, are very ethnically diverse, and hail from both urban and rural areas throughout New York State. The issues that bring them to placement are mainly a result of the psychological scars developed from physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The manifested behaviors include chemical dependency, juvenile delinquency, inability to function in the school setting, inability to follow the rules at home, running away and/or mental health issues. The residential treatment model is strength based and focuses on teaching healthy decision making.
Williams students will commute to Berkshire Farm and work under supervision in various settings including school, cottage life, substance abuse program, recreation, adventure-based therapy, performing arts, animal husbandry or individual tutoring. The students are responsible to be proactive in developing their learning experience.
Requirements: students will keep a journal reflecting on their experiences, and a weekly seminar with the instructor will draw on service learning experience. Students will also be required to submit a final 10-page paper at the end of the course.
Prerequisites: YOU MUST HAVE A TELEPHONE INTERVIEW WITH THE INSTRUCTOR, who can be reached at 518-265-6218. Enrollment limit: 15. Please note: all queries about this course should be directed to the instructor.
Cost to student: $25 to cover transportation to and from Berkshire Farm Center.

ARTH 10 Selling the Cow: Viewbook Design
Print may be dead, but college viewbooks are very much alive. By creating several sample spreads for a viewbook of Williams, students will explore basic design and communications concepts. We will begin by discussing purpose and audience, as well as examine past viewbook approaches by Williams and other colleges. Students will select and develop their own visual concept of what a viewbook can/should do, combining imagery (either self-generated photography, found photography, or illustration) with typography. Weekly presentation of work and verbal justification of approach will be expected. Original text content encouraged but not required. Class will meet for three hours twice a week, with extensive design exploration, research, and any photography or illustration expected to be done outside of class. Exhibition and explanation of work process on last day of class is mandatory.
Requirements: weekly presentations plus a final project consisting of several spreads.
No prerequisites, however, familiarity with digital photography and layout programs such as InDesign or Quark would be helpful. Enrollment limit: 15. If overenrolled, students will be selected by a lottery.
Estimated cost to student: $50 for color lasers.

ARTS 25 Drawing and Painting in Egypt
This course combines art-making with art-looking in the fascinating Upper Egypt Nile valley. Students will work in drawing and pastel to explore historical, architectural, and figurative gestures in the Theban landscape. During the trip, students will have opportunities to work with Egyptian students from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Luxor. Students will explore ancient Egypt through guided tours of the East and West Bank temples and tomb paintings; they will experience contemporary Egypt through cross-cultural dialogue with the Egyptian students and other local artists. Along with completing art assignments and participating on tours, students will document their experiences visually and in writing in sketchbook form. Prior to departure, students will complete required readings, and attend an orientation session and an initial studio class. Upon return to campus, students will participate in planning and presenting an exhibit of their artwork and experience for the Williams College community.
Students will be evaluated on successful completion of their sketchbooks, art assignments, and final paintings.
Prerequisites: letter of interest to instructor and letter of recommendation from campus source. While some drawing experience is helpful, this course is open to all but first-year students. Enrollment limit: 10. If overenrolled, selection will be based on seniority and letters of interest (and interviews if needed). Please indicate art background, if any, in letter of interest.

COMP 20 What Was Monet Thinking?-Understanding Art, for Non-Art Majors (Same as Special 20)
This course will introduce non-art majors to the ways in which artists see and understand painting, both the meaning of the work (the art) and painting techniques (the craft). Following a traditional method, students will create two paintings (subject matter of their choosing) using the basic elements of visual art: line, composition, color, and value. Each of these elements of the painting process will be presented simply and in clearly defined steps through the use of visuals, demonstrations, and exercises. Supplementing the painting periods, the class will visit WCMA to examine and discuss how artists, from the Old Masters to contemporary artists, have approached the art and craft of painting. Students will begin to see paintings as artists do.
Evaluation will be based on the completion of two paintings by the student as well as a written analysis of one painting from the WCMA collection. The evaluation of the student's painting will be based not on artistic merit but on the effort made and understanding gained. There will also be outside reading requirements. Because of the step-by-step methodology, class attendance will be mandatory.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limit: 15. If overenrolled, selection will be based on seniority.
Estimated cost to student: $135 for supplies.

ECON 14 Accounting
The project will examine the theoretical and practical aspects of financial accounting. Although the beginning of the course will explore the mechanics of the information gathering and dissemination process, the course will be oriented mainly towards users, rather than preparers, of accounting information. The project will include discussion of the principles involved in accounting for current assets, plant assets, leases, intangible assets, current liabilities, stockholders' equity, the income statement and the statement of cash flows. Students will be expected to interpret and analyze actual financial statements. The nature of, and career opportunities in, the field of accounting will also be discussed. The project is a "mini course." It will present a substantial body of material and will require a considerable commitment of time by the student, including regular attendance and participation in discussion and homework cases and problems.
The course is a web-based course. The course website will include required readings from various linked web sites, additional downloadable reading material, required homework problems as well as self study material. The course grade will be determined on the basis of several quizzes and a written group report presenting an analysis of a company's annual report.

ENGL 27 Printmaking on Paper Clay (Same as ArtS 27)

This course introduces the technical and creative possibilities of print making on ceramic paper clay without the use of a press. Students will learn how to make their own paper clay, and will explore monoprinting, relief printing, and offset printing. Historical examples will be introduced through field trips, Lectures and assignments. Students will receive feedback on their work through group critiques and open studio sessions. They will be evaluated based on completion of assignments with attention to detail, content, and development of their work. Attendance and participation are required along with a group exhibition on the last day of Winter Study.
The goal of this course is to experiment with different printing methods on ceramic surfaces. You will learn about the history of printmaking on ceramics and use that knowledge as a stepping stone for your individual projects. This course will cover basic handbuilding with clay, concentrating on surface design through printmaking. Each of you will be expected to develop your own visual vocabulary and create objects in 2 and 3D formats. The exchange of ideas among classmates of different skill levels will be highly encouraged in the studio, as will the importance of exploring the work of contemporary artists. We will also draw from various texts and web sites for historical and contemporary examples for discussion. You will learn about kiln firing and will complete projects by the end of the course for exhibition.

ENVI 15 Sustainable Food Systems, Sourcing and the Triple Bottom Line (Same as ANSO 15 and Economics 13)
Around the world, a growing number of forward-thinking institutions and businesses are reviewing their purchasing habits and incorporating environmental concerns into all stages of their procurements. These pioneering organizations are minimizing their planetary environmental footprints, in many cases improving their bottom lines, and serving as successful models for other institutions. In the face of the current, interrelated economic and environmental threats, business leaders are "greening" supply chains and utilizing the 'power of purchase' towards the achievement of a range of sustainable development goals, including a sustainable food system. Although not a panacea, consciously directing purchasing power may be one of the most powerful tools that business can employ to shift patterns of food production and consumption in a more sustainable direction.
Students in this course will both taste and think in new ways about their 'daily bread'. This course will act as a comparative overview to the principles and models of both large-scale industrial food systems and their smaller-scale counterparts. Students will examine how food supply chain reform is a critical mechanism for "triple bottom line" returns-sustainable economic, ecological and social development-and how food can bridge these sectors. They will look at the challenges and opportunities involved in several contemporary business models of sustainable sourcing and explore what models may be applicable at an institution such as Williams. They will discover the pivotal leadership role of civic institutions within the working rural landscape, and they will develop a theoretical approach for applying principles of food sustainability to their future business ventures.
As a final research project, students will start with an ingredient of a lunch, from the Williams cafeteria, and take an excursion from their taste buds back through the production, distribution and policy behind an 'ordinary' meal. They will trace each single ingredient to its source and critique it through cross-disciplinary lenses, as appropriate.
Method of evaluation: 10 page investigative research paper. Students will also present their findings to the class.
Required activities: "Sustainable Sourcing" will meet for two three-hour sessions per week. In addition, we will have three half-day field trips to community farms and/or businesses that work with sustainable food models.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limit: 20.
Cost to student: none.

GEOS 12 Landscape Photography (Same as Environmental Studies 12)
This class will broaden students' appreciation for the appearance and history of the landscape and teach the skills of making a successful photograph. Williamstown, situated in a valley between the Green and Taconic Mountains and bisected by the Green and Hoosic Rivers, is a place of great natural beauty. The local landscape is a subject that inspires both professional and amateur photographers alike. While Williamstown will be the subject of most of our work, we will use it to learn principles of universal application. Students will discover the importance of light in making a photograph. They will also learn camera skills and the mechanics of digital photography, which will be reviewed at biweekly class meetings. In addition to photographing and critiquing images, the class will visit collections at the Clark Art Institute and WCMA to see original work and examine and discuss books on reserve at Sawyer Library. An overview of the history of landscape photography will be provided with an emphasis on American workers such as Carlton Watkins, Eadweard Muybridge, Alfred Stieglitz, Eliot Porter and Ansel Adams. We will also demonstrate examples of different cameras such as medium format, view cameras, and panorama cameras. Students will produce a body of successful photographs that will be projected at the Winter Study presentation day and on display at http://drm.williams.edu/projects/. Students will submit short written explanations with each of their photographic assignments.
Evaluation will be based on attendance, the student's photography, and their presentation.
Prerequisites: students will need a digital single lens reflex camera (DSLR). See http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/how-to-buy-a-dslr-camera/. Enrollment limit: 15. Preference given to first-year students and sophomores.

GERM 10 Marx and Nietzsche
Though radically opposed in their basic world views, Karl Marx (1818-83) and Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) exhibited striking similarities in their critiques of modern bourgeois society as it emerged in the nineteenth century. Their analyses of the religious, economic, political, sexual and linguistic predilections of the rising middle-class continue to exert enormous influence, even as the middle class reigns triumphant. We will compare and contrast their ideas in the context of German society from the final defeat of Napoleon (1815) to the start of the First World War (1914). We will also consider whether their relevance today can extend beyond the academic bubble. Among works to be read: by Marx, Early Writings, The Communist Manifesto, Capital (selections), and by Nietzsche, On the Use and Abuse of History, Beyond Good and Evil (selections), and The Anti-Christ.
Evaluation will be based on participation and two 5-page papers. We will meet three times a week for ninety-minute sessions.

HIST 18  Williams Reads Invisible Man
“I am an invisible man,” so begins Ralph Ellison’s treatise on black life in the United States in the mid-twentieth century.  Since Ellison’s book Invisible Man appeared in 1952, winning the National Book Award, it has remained a recommended text on reading lists of all types.  Often studied for its literary crafting and for the ways that it evokes the work of classic American writers, Invisible Man is also an historical text, a primary source document that reflects the time period within which it was written (mid-twentieth century America) and it is history text, full of references to the African American past and its influence on the novel’s protagonist.  Ellison’s Invisible Man has been selected as the Williams Reads book for January 2011, and I am the chair of the Williams Reads Program Committee.
This course will focus on Ralph Ellison’s novel Invisible Man as a history of African Americans in the United States since emancipation.  The class will explore the novel’s cultural symbols, including its historical images and personalities, its attention to language and music, and its approaches to politics and protest.  In addition to reading the novel, course participants will examine other work relevant to the novel’s themes, including material related to racial segregation and race relations; the Great Migration and urbanization; black sociology, anthropology, political science, and history; and black vernacular culture and social protest.  Students will attend and participate in Williams Reads programming including public readings and discussions, faculty and guest panels, films at Images Cinema, jazz concerts, dance performances, and other projects that will seek to engage the college community in the themes of the book.
Evaluation will be based on class participation, written critiques of materials, and a final ten-page paper.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limit: 20.  If oversubscribed, preference will be given to seniors, and juniors.
Cost to students: $25.00 for one book.  The text Invisible Man will be provided to students gratis by the Williams Reads committee. All programming also will be free of charge.
Meeting times: afternoon, two session per week.

HIST 25 Miami: Gateway to the Caribbean (Same as Africana Studies 25, Latina/o Studies 25, and Religion 26)
In this course, students will explore transnational Caribbean communities in Miami through participant observation, archival research, and experiential education. By studying the formation and internal dynamics of Cuban, Dominican, Haitian, and Puerto Rican diasporas in Miami, students will be challenged to think about what it means that these communities have built a home base within the nation-state of the United States. In particular, this course will pay attention to a range of interconnected themes, including: motivations behind migrating to Miami, immigration policies, city residential patterns, and community organizations that have both helped and hindered the development of these diverse communities in south Florida. We will also investigate the ways particular immigrant and exile populations have negotiated living in the same urban space, sometimes disagreeing over resources, while at alternate times forming tentative alliances with other Caribbean diasporas, African Americans, and North Americans. In advance of the two weeks of travel, students will be expected to read selected methodological pieces on participant observation and archival work as well as historical essays on the foundation of different communities in south Florida (for instance, Elizabeth Aranda and Mary Chamberlain in Caribbean Migration to Western Europe and the United States [Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2009]). Once in Miami, students will: Attend an introductory session on participant observation research; visit and work in the University of Miami's Special Collections Archive; tour key neighborhoods (Little Havana, Little Haiti, Black Grove); visit various major religious and historical sites that serve as diaspora community centers, such as la Ermita de la Caridad, the Freedom Tower, and Vizcaya; and volunteer with local agencies that work around issues of (im)migration, elder care, and youth engagement in the various communities. Knowledge of Creole and/or Spanish will be useful for this type of ethnographic research and volunteer work.
Students will be expected to keep a journal of their experiences and complete a 10-page research paper that combines participant observation and/or oral histories with archival research about a particular Caribbean community in Miami. Method of evaluation (e.g., 10-page paper, final project, presentation, etc.): Students will be expected to keep a journal of their experiences and complete a 10-page research paper that combines participant observation and/or oral histories with archival research about a particular Caribbean community in Miami.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limit: 10. Not open to first-year students. If over-enrolled, selection will be based on application essays and interviews. Preference will be given to majors and concentrators in Africana Studies, Latino/a Studies, Religion, and History. Priority will also be given to students who can speak Creole and/or Spanish.
Estimated cost per student: $2538.

LATS 13 Beyond El Día de los Muertos: Latina/o Rituals of Mourning en el Teatro (Same as Women's and Gender Studies 13)
Moving away from Sigmund Freud's foundational essay "Mourning and Melancholia," students will critically question its so called universality. In doing so, students will unpack how Latina/o theatre and performance constitute an in-between cultural domain where rituals of passage and structures of feelings are contested and negotiated. Each act of mourning within the Latina/o cultural landscape is not only experienced both physically and emotionally, but also an articulation of an alternative politics of mourning. As such, this mourning is historically situated in given discursive formations and social practices. Migdalia Cruz's Miriam's Flowers highlights intimate injury and dysfunctional mourning. Cherríe Moraga's Heroes and Saints showcases the passage from grief to activist grievance. Eddie Sánchez's Unmerciful Good Fortune centerstages anticipated mourning through serial killing and euthanasia. Elaine Romero's Walking Home awakens the dead that haunts ancestral land. Evelina Fernandez's Dementia gives voice to the undead in a celebratory AIDS "going away for good party;" and Wilma Bonet's Good Grief, Lolita memorializes the premature death of her daughter. These ex-centric practices of mourning make visible the ambivalent and ambiguous condition of mourning as a process that troubles, disrupts, and subverts Freud's insistence on the resolute termination and unbelatedness of mourning.
Requirements: class discussion, presentations, and final 10-page paper.
Prerequisites: interest in Latina/o Studies and performance. Enrollment limit: 20. Preference given to Latina/o Studies concentrators and Women's and Gender Studies majors.

STAT

STAT 10 Displaying Multivariate Data
Ever wished you could go beyond the capabilities of your current software and actually create the graph or display you had in mind for a particular data set? We are going to introduce the free statistical software program R (google "R") and a very powerful add-on called Lattice to create beautiful (and correct!) graphs, starting with simple histograms and barcharts for one-dimensional and scatterplots and time series plots for two-dimensional data. We will finish with three-dimensional surface plots or plots that show the distribution of a variable over a map (the states) of the U.S. Examples of graphs can be found at http://lmdvr.r-forge.r-project.org/figures/figures.html. In the first two weekly meetings, we will use the textbook by the author of Lattice to introduce the many ways (multivariate) data can be displayed effectively and how this is coded in R. The third meeting each week is dedicated to student presentations, where students present their "graph of the week" (and the corresponding R coding steps) based on a data set of their interest.
Requirements: weekly presentation and paper. Evaluation based on final grade will depend on performance on the weekly project and paper and on class participation.
Prerequisites: no formal prerequisites, but no fear of computer programming. Enrollment limit: 30. If overenrolled, students will be selected at random (using R).

MUS 16 Cuban Popular Music and Culture
This class will cover genres of Cuban folk and popular music and the impact that Cuban history has had on Cuban music, art, and culture in general. Topics to be discussed will include; the African influence on Cuban music between the 15th and 16th centuries, the contemporary coexistence of old African musical practices with new musical manifestations now purely Cuban that has resulted, and Spanish influence on the PuntoCubano or PuntoGuajiro that flourished at the end of the 18th century as a family-neighborhood activity. We will discuss the connection between folk music and the utilization of European techniques that gave as a result the danzon, the mambo, and the cha chacha, as well as multiple genres of the Cuban cancion (song). We will also discuss the strong bonds between Cuban music and North American music during the 20th and 21th century including afrocuban jazz and Cuban hip hop. Other topics of discussion will
include how the combination of folk music/professional music imparts a dynamic to contemporary Cuban classical music. We will talk about Cuban culture and how music is very much part of their daily life.
Evaluation based on a class presentation during the last week of classes and a ten pages long paper on the same subject of your class presentation.

POLITICAL SCIENCE

PSCI 10 Political Campaign Ads as Political Rhetoric
The focus of this winter study course is on campaign television ads. Some ads have, it is often claimed, determined the outcome of elections. Lyndon Johnson's famous 1964 campaign ad showing a young girl plucking flower petals while a narrator counts down to a nuclear explosion, shown only once, or the George H. W. Bush's campaign ad of Willie Horton in 1988, are two such examples. The course will examine campaign ads, and current research on when, how, and why, they work (or don't). One of the charges often leveled against democracy is that people are too easily seduced by clever and devious leaders, by the power of rhetoric and especially emotional images to mislead. But, what does it mean to delude or mislead? What can an effective campaign ad accomplish? Do campaign ads delude or do they educate, or both? Each student will write a paper analyzing a selected series of campaign ad of their choosing. Joining us for some of our meetings will be Prof. Ted Brader (Michigan), author of Campaigning for Hearts and Minds: How Emotions make Political Ads Work.
Evaluation will be based on a paper, class attendance and participation.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limit: 20. Selection Criteria: Political Science Majors and then thereafter first come first served.
Costs to students: texts for course (under $100).

PSCI 16 Political Aikido-Persuasion, Inspiration, and Strategic Dominance
The most effective strategy for victory is that which leaves the least opposition in its wake while using the minimum of resources. This is true for political conflict as well as armed combat. While the Powell Doctrine may correctly call for the use of overwhelming force in war as a way to minimize opposition and prevent lingering struggle, the political equivalent is rarely available in a multi-party democracy. Long-term success in politics--both international and domestic--is much more likely with persuasion than coercion. and when the rhetoric and tactics used emphasize shared values rather than divisive stances.
Aikido is a Japanese martial tradition that combines the samurai arts of sword and grappling with the philosophical desire to manifest harmony in the face of conflict. As such, it addresses situations of conflict that manifest themselves physically, but also offers insight into how to prevent or redirect the energies--social, political, or psychological--that might otherwise become conflict in one or another aspect of our lives. As a martial art, Aikido teaches more than simply how to survive; it also teaches us how to physically express our noblest intentions--our compassion--in movements that protect not only ourselves but the attacker as well. Put another way, Aikido is ethical persuasion made physical.
This course will have both physical and academic components. The physical training (two hours daily on mats in Currier Ballroom) will improve each student's strength, balance, posture, and flexibility. Everyone will also learn how to throw their friends across the room. About 25% of training time will be devoted to sword, staff, and dagger techniques. Some of the mat time each week will be shared with students of the other WS Aikido course taught by Thomas O'Connor Sensei, and some will be on our own.
The academic component of the course will engage with how the physical training resonates with the tactical practices of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, and will review the martial arts-influenced literature on Politics (Sun Tsu's Art of War, Miyamoto Musashi's Book of Five Rings) as well as Gene Sharp's The Politics of Nonviolent Action. Discussion sessions over lunch will provide students the chance to articulate what their bodies are learning in a way that does not interfere with the primacy of the uncognitized physicality of the training sessions themselves. Particular emphasis will be placed on Aikido's contribution to the virtues of calmness, centeredness, and creativity which allow a practitioner, or a politician, to catalyze significant change with what seems like minimal effort.
Additional relevant experiences, such as meditation practice, misogi, Samurai films, and a chance for the bold to try live-steel tameshigiri will be an integral part of the course.
Students will be evaluated on the quality of their participation in both physical and intellectual course components, and a final project equivalent in scope to a 10-page paper. Students interested in the course should visit http://www.aikidokids.com/williamsaikido.htm before registration begins.
Prerequisites: same physician's approval on file as the school requires to participate on sports teams. Students do not have to be especially athletic, and in Aikido women train as equals with men. Enrollment limit: 25.
Cost to student: approximately $100 for uniform and wooden training weapons. $35 for books.
Meeting time: Aikido sessions 2 hrs/day (10-12), Monday-Friday. Discussion groups will meet at least two hours each week with the instructor, typically over lunch.

PSCI 17 How Court Decisions Impact Public Policy (Same as Leadership Studies 17)

This course will examine how courts in the United States formulate important social policies. The course will explore several contemporary examples of social policies formulated by courts, such as affirmative action, use of electronic surveillance, women's right of choice and reproductive decisions, marriage equality, death penalty and health care legislation to which constitutional challenges are pending. These decisions result from litigation which is commenced in the courts and the course will discuss how litigation shapes the courts' decisions. The course will meet in Williamstown for two 3-hour classes in the first and third weeks of Winter Study, and in Boston for 4 days in the second week. The students will be assigned to the Office of the Attorney General during the days in Boston and there will be opportunities to watch court proceedings and meet with judges. Students will be responsible for arranging for housing, meals and travel expenses during the four days in Boston.
Evaluation will be based on a 5-page paper and oral argument.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limit: 12. If overenrolled, selection will be based on seniority.

PSCI 25 Eye Care and Culture on the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua
Continuing the model of recent eye care winter studies in Nicaragua, the trip will follow a similar protocol. In cooperation with Ray Hooker, President of FADCANIC (The Foundation for the Autonomy and Development of the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua) who has assisted us in all of our previous courses as well as professors of the New England College of Optometry who have previously trained our students in the prescription of reading and distance glasses and have accompanied our trips. We are proposing a follow up course continuing our work of prescribing glasses and also the training of local medical personnel to prescribe and distribute glasses as a sustaining project. At the conclusion of our 2010 trip, we left a small amount of glasses and other materials and supplies in Pearl Lagoon and Bluefields for future work.
After a partial week of classes on campus on the culture and politics of Nicaragua and a weekend of training in the prescribing of glasses we would travel to Managua for a day of cultural visits (national museum, Masaya Volcano, Huembes market). Following our cultural visits we would travel by bus to the city of Rama, where we visited last year and were overwhelmed by the needs of this important river head community. We will conduct clinics for two days and then take the "Bluefield Express" (a large river boat) to Bluefields. We will conduct clinics in Bluefields for 2.5 days and then travel by ponga (fiberglass boat) to Pearl Lagoon, Haulover, Kukra Hill and possibly Wawashan where there is an experimental project and school educating local teenagers in basic high school subjects as well as how to tend and manage Coco farms, an important cash crop for the region. We will visit some off shore islands for a day of recreational and cultural activities before return to Managua and back to the U.S. The course will conclude at Williams with the turning in of our journals as well as discussions and evaluations of our insights about the developing world and our personal reactions to the experience.
Enrollment limit: 12. Not open to first-year students.
Cost to student: $2500.

THEA 10 Staging Non-Dramatic Texts
This studio course will examine aspects of the staging and performance of "texts" not initially meant for production. Inspiration for these pieces may come, for example, from literature (poetry, stories, aphorisms), the visual arts, or music. In performance, lab students will develop and experiment with their pieces while attempting to embody the "meaning" of the original into palpable stage form. The focus will be clearly on process rather than product, but if modest performance of the pieces is warranted, there will be a showing at the end of the WSP.
Students will be asked to perform in one another's pieces as they develop, so that the official class meetings (6 hours/week in the Studio) will have to be supported by a substantial commitment to collaborative work and rehearsal.
Enrollment limit: 12. Preference to students who have taken at least one Theatre course.

SPECIALS

SPEC 10 Quest for College: Early Awareness in Berkshire County Schools
Today's extremely competitive higher education market places significant pressure on students nationwide to start planning for college at an increasingly early age while simultaneously demanding ever-higher standards of excellence for admission to top schools. "Early Awareness" initiatives aim to educate middle school students as to what lies ahead on the college horizon, empowering them to make sound academic and extracurricular choices that will keep open a maximum of options. The first week of this course will be spent in the classroom, exploring and discussing problems and issues germane to the national trends towards greater (and earlier) college-related pressures. Students will respond to a series of readings dealing with such issues as tracking, paid test preparation and untimed testing, early decision, parental and peer pressures, special interests, misrepresentation of information, independent counseling, and others. Class time will also be devoted to familiarizing students with both the nuances of the college admission process, visiting other higher educational institutions in Berkshire County, and learning how to facilitate the early awareness game, Quest for College. Students will spend the next two weeks visiting 10-12 Berkshire County middle classes, administering the game. If student and community interest is sufficient, the course may culminate in a public presentation and open forum regarding early college awareness initiatives.
Evaluation will be based on completion of field work (school visits), organization and a final paper (approximately 10 pages) reflecting on a course-related issue of the student's choosing.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limit: 8. Preference given to a) students with prior experience working with middle school aged youth, b) students who can be approved to operate college vehicles c) juniors and seniors. Interested students must consult with the instructor prior to registration.

What are the best ways to use long-form journalism to get at a subject? In this course, we'll explore ways to tell a story in depth, by using tactics and techniques borrowed from fiction, academic disciplines, and the arts. Classwork will include a number of brief assignments to focus on specific elements--ways to physically describe something, overhearing and transcribing dialogue, conducting interviews, and finding the right tone of voice. During our meetings, we'll read and critique each other's work to assess what works and what doesn't. We'll include regular readings from masters of nonfiction--ranging from early and overlooked pioneers like Mark Twain and Jack London, through popular writers like Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, Ron Rosenbaum, and David Foster Wallace.
The final piece will be a minimum 10-page profile of a person or institution around campus that will go through several revisions.

SPEC 21 Experience the Workplace; an Internship with Williams Alumni/Parents
Field experience is a critical element in the decision to enter a profession. Through this internship, students can clarify their understanding of the rewards and challenges that accompany the practice of many different aspects within a profession, and understand the psychology of the workplace. Internship placements are arranged in two distinct ways: some students live on campus and are matched with local professionals, while others make independent arrangements to work with a distant professional. The expectation is that each student will observe some aspect of the profession for the better part of the day, five days per week. It is also expected that the teaching associate will assign a specific project to be completed within the three-to-four week duration of the course depending upon appropriateness. Participation in this winter study will require the student to quickly assess the work environment, make inferences about corporate culture, performance norms and expectations, and to take initiative not only to learn from this experience, but also to contribute where and when appropriate. Understanding the dynamics within a work environment is critical to success in any organization and this hands-on experience will illuminate lessons learned in the classroom. Upon completion of the winter study, it is expected that the student write a thorough report evaluating and interpreting the experience.
Requirements: it is expected that students will complete assigned readings, keep a daily journal, and write a 5-10 page expository review and evaluation that will become public record as a resource for other students.
Prerequisites: interested students must attend an information meeting in early October, and meet individually with John Noble to go over the details of their placements. Preference for placements will be given on the basis of seniority and demonstrated interest in the profession of interest.
Enrollment is limited by the number of available teaching associates (instructors). Student selection criteria: Preference for placements will be given on the basis of seniority and demonstrated interest in the profession of interest.
Cost to students: local apprenticeships-local transportation. Distant apprenticeships-costs will vary based upon location, but are the responsibility of the student.
Williams College alumni and parents of current Williams students will be recruited to become instructors for this course. A broad range of professions will be represented as the course develops. Alumni and parents will receive a training packet and individual orientations with the course director in person or via telephone conference.
Meeting time: the expectation is that each student will be in the field to observe some aspect of the profession for the better part of the day, five days per week. In addition to observation there may be an opportunity to work on distinct projects generated by the instructor depending upon appropriateness.

SPEC 26 Travel Course: Resettling Refugees in Maine (Same as Philosophy 26)
Sponsored by the Gaudino Scholar and the Gaudino Fund in 2008, 2009, and 2010, this Winter Study travel course will allow a small group of students to live in Portland, Maine for the month of January 2011, where they will experience and explore the impact of over thirty years of refugee resettlement in the 'whitest' of the United States. Each student will live with a refugee family from one of the dozens of countries represented by the refugee communities of Portland, and during her or his home stay will encounter first-hand the issues confronting recent immigrants to the United States from Southeast Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe or Latin America. While only 4 hours from Williams, Portland students speak almost 60 languages in the school system. WSP students will keep a daily journal to record their experiences with their refugee family and working weekdays the schools or nonprofit organizations that serve them. Students will be exposed to such issues as race, ethnicity, and national identity; the interplay of public and private values; and the wide variety of educational, health, governmental, and religious agencies and providers serving refugee families Students meet weekly with the course instructor to discuss how their experiences are going; they will also attend arranged community meetings or events. Students as a group will also have time in Maine at the beginning of the program for an orientation session, and at the conclusion to share experiences with each other and write a short reflection paper.
No prerequisites. If student interest exceeds the enrollment limit, preference will be given to those students who demonstrate, in a short conversation with and essay submitted to the instructor, their interest in experiential learning generally and the problems confronting recent immigrants to the United States specifically. Enrollment limit: 6; not open to first year students.
Cost to students: There will be a small per diem paid to each host family for room and board. For financial aid students, costs for this WSP travel course will be paid by the Gaudino Fund.
