Students will engage with the key issues that pertain to Indigenous heritage, its making, uses, and safeguarding at international, national, and local levels. Indigenous heritage can be understood as the objects, historical documents, stories, memories, cultural practices, and places that are important to Indigenous cultures across the world and are interpreted and preserved for future generations, such as in museums. The course will focus on the theories and methods of representing Indigenous cultures and peoples within the heritage and museum enterprise, as well as examine the concept and negotiations of Indigenous cultural ownership of heritage and museum processes.

The seminar combines primary readings, personal anecdotes, and applied research about the body, its extremities (such as hair), its performance of sexualities and identities in the context of the production of culture and social relations. Additionally, a critique of the readings will afford us the opportunity to explore alternatives to the perpetuated materialist or constructivist binary existing in approaches to the body.

To some, the term conjures up well-known musical categories of American vernacular music: gospel, soul, hip-hop, funk, country, rockabilly, bluegrass, jazz, and blues. Push a little bit, and some will include polka, Cajun, zydeco, and conjunto/tejano music. But who is left out, and why? This course will survey musical styles deeply rooted in specific cultural communities in the U.S. that have developed in the age of recorded sound and will examine how roots music develops as a form of community expression. Students do not need formal musical training but should be committed to listening closely to music.

AMST 630 Cultural Policy and the Politics of Culture in the 21st Century United States
W 7:10-9:40PM James Counts Early

This course, constructed around proactive student-participation, examines the historical backdrop and contemporary development of cultural policy in the United States, especially in relation to the practical problem of achieving cultural equity within the public and private institutions of a continuously-evolving multi-cultural political democracy and intersections with growing transnational cultural identities. Special attention is paid to the cultural democracy citizen-protagonists’ dynamics and policy projects of certain periods and to interactions between the official cultural institutions and various racial and ethnic groups, of cultural areas and regions and of socio-economic classes---including gender identity  and sexual identity policies. Reading, lecture-discussion and illustrative cultural materials embrace intellectual and artistic strategies reflected in the graphic and plastic arts, dance, music, literature and various segments of popular culture. Analytical perspectives draw upon the disciplines of history, cultural heritage policy, anthropology, folklore, and political science/Participatory Democracy. Prerequisite: Graduate standing.

JDST 390: Special Topics - Jewish Humor in America

This course examines the development and influence of Jewish humor through American films, television, and comedy. From Yiddish humor through the immigrant outsider of vaudeville and early film, the mainstreaming sit-coms into the post-war edgy stand-up comedy and cartoons, up to the present ironic pose of comedy. The Marx Brothers, Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Milton Berle, Gertrude Berg, Lenny Bruce, Jules Feiffer, Mike Nichols, Elaine May, Paul Mazursky, Lewis Black, Judd Apatow, the Coen Brothers and others will be considered. The course focuses on films, but will include some television, stand-up comedy, graphic and literary humor.

Seven years later, Moffitt, an associate professor of American studies, points to the phrase as inspiration for founding a charter school for boys in Baltimore and used it as the basis for her talk at TEDxUMBC.
