The purpose of this part of the learning achievement is to ‘tell the story’ of the resources which were analyzed in the CRR-A through the presentation of a narrative review of those sources. This narrative review may be organized around: themes apparent among the sources cited, specific methodological approaches used, a historical account of how the field has developed, or another appropriate way of making sense of the resources reviewed and the field they represent. This narrative account may also consider the articles reviewed through the lens of a larger theoretical idea (for instance, feminist theory, critical race theory, or discourse analysis). The CRR-B should comment on surprises encountered while undertaking the review, omissions apparent in the field, or inherent biases which color the way the topic has been studied to date. It should also include a discussion of the implications of what has been found for further research The conclusion should include the student’s reflections on how the project has helped them to refine or understand their topic area and how it will affect their potential dissertation focus and methodological approach. In completing this Learning Achievement, students should demonstrate competency in: 1. Exploring a field of study that is relevant to leadership and change literature and identifying relevant resources which inform a specific review question of particular interest to their research. 2. Presenting a comprehensive scholarly search of a range of literature and carefully documenting the search process. 3. Understanding research design as it applies to a chosen area of interest and categorizing research in a table of each article reviewed [e.g., author, title, year, journal, research question(s), method, primary finding(s)] critique. 4. Presenting the project with the quality of writing appropriate for doctoral level work and a review of literature.

LIT-3370: Harlem Renaissance in the Jazz Age 1920-1938 This course critically examines the Harlem Renaissance as a by-product of the first Great Migration of African Americans from the south to the north at the turn of the century. The Harlem Renaissance, like the Great Migration, came to symbolize a people reborn as they moved from plantation to urban settings. This course focuses on artists, social activists, intellectuals and political operatives of the Harlem Renaissance that include such luminaries as W.E.B. DuBois, Zora Neal Hurston, Duke Ellington, Marcus Garvey, Langston Hughes, Billie Holiday, and Alain Locke. This course introduces students to the history of the United States from the age of exploration to the end of the Civil War. The course explores several questions: What is American history? From whose vantage point is it typically told? What does it mean to write a people’s history? Can history be radical? Although much of history consists of names, dates, places, and people we were once told to memorize by our elementary- and high-school teachers, this course focuses instead on how we make sense of that past and why history is written in the way that is. Among the major themes this course addresses is the question of America and American as identities, places, ideologies and social positions. Though we use these terms often what exactly do we mean by them? What does it mean, for example, to call oneself an American? How does that concept change according to positions of class, race, gender, or sexuality? Can someone from Bolivia call herself an American? Does it mean the same thing to North Americans? If someone tells you while you are travelling abroad that he or she appreciates American culture, is he or she referring to a Jackson Pollack painting, Yosemite National Park, Donald Trump, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, or a hamburger? In this course we will grapple with some of these issues. We will draw upon our own personal experiences to each come up with our own unique definition of American culture. For some this may be as simple as identifying with the neighborhood one grew up in. For others, however, the idea of being American or of American culture may not be bounded by space or time.

LIT-3510: Independent Study Our sense of cultural identity is in flux and under construction, subject to the play of history and difference. Through documentaries, videos and readings of American Indian myths, stories from the Latin American Boom, and vernacular African- American tales, students uncover layered histories of American destinies and their possible role in defining a more inclusive sense of American culture. Students analyze how stories and counter-stories teach and delight; how gender is constructed through cautionary or celebratory tales and how diverse spiritual and erotic values are encoded. Students locate, in stories, the struggle against inhuman violence motivated by greed and fear. Students explore the American Indian presence in Los Angeles, in a powwow, museum visit and guest interview.

LIT-3760: Representations of Adolecence in Literature This class will engage students in a focused study of literary representations of adolescence. Though we may think of adolescence as a set developmental phase, delineating it is also a relatively modern luxury. Members of past generations and people of less privileged societies often go directly from childhood into the responsibilities of adult life. Adolescence, as we know it, is a socially constructed idea. Notions of its purpose and meaning shift with the times. Through reading, lecture, discussion, and close analysis of four novels (and some poems), we will reflect on how adult writers strive to capture the challenges, conflicts, and unique experiences of American adolescents. We will also consider how these works reflect ideas about adolescence as a social construction. In the four major works considered, we?ll look at American adolescence from the post-war period through the 1970s and 1980s up to the present.

LIT-3810: Writing Magical Realism Making the Familiar Strange This creative writing course draws upon the considerable resources of international magical realist writing in order to support students in developing new approaches to their own creative work. Magical Realism, particularly in its more classic examples, employs imaginative leaps in the context of the ordinary to problematize and playfully resist the limitations of “things as they are.” At the heart of the course is the question: What is the psychological, political, and aesthetic value of imagining that which is said to be impossible? In exploring this question, we will aim to understand how the playful techniques employed by magical realist writers can address many interests and issues, including issues of social justice and forms of colonization. Furthermore, because the worlds of Magical Realism frequently explore the tension between the plausible and the impossible, the matter-of-fact and the extraordinary, creative writers studying this genre are in position to learn how to effectively write both realism and fantasy, as well as how to create a potent balance between (and/or disturbance of) the two.

MAT-3210: Math in the Real World Through a three-pronged approach, students develop an analytical and inquisitive point of view as it relates to the mathematics they encounter in their daily lives. Students are challenged in their critical thinking and verbal reasoning through class discussions, with self-directed projects and by developing a much stronger and innate understanding of foundational math skills. By working in-depth in the student’s area of interest, students will follow a natural development of understanding of math concepts and how they relate to their personal interest topics.

MAT-3220: Mathematics in Applied Contexts Math is everywhere and yet many people think that they can avoid it in their everyday lives if they don’t want to directly study it. This course tells a different story by familiarizing students with the mathematics embedded in the media they see every day with the goal of helping them become more capable and critical readers of this information. We will investigate how math impacts many aspects of journalism, evaluate the arguments of those who critique the way math is represented in lay literature, and explore the media directly to find examples of appropriate and inappropriate mathematical arguments. During this course we will read from a broad range of sources, looking at arguments from scholarly articles, blog posts, and various online articles that speak to the issues we are studying. Within the ten weeks of this course, students will develop important critical thinking skills that expand their capacity for evaluating mathematical concepts in applied contexts.
