UNB FREDERICTON SENATE CURRICULUM COMMITTEE

FACULTY OF ARTS CALENDAR SUBMISSION SUMMARY November 2012

Section A: New Courses ENGL 3406 The Romantic Period (O) 3ch (3C) [W] A study of English literature written between 1789 and 1832 in the context of intellectual, social, political, and religious forces. The course will focus on the Romantic poets but may include a brief selection of prose texts from the period. NOTE: Students cannot obtain credit for both ENGL 3406 and ENGL 3400. Rationale: Following the retirement of the English Department’s Romantics specialist, a 3ch version of the existing 6ch course ENGL 3400 “The Romantic Period” is being added to give the Department increased flexibility in offering a course in this area, especially during the summer months. FILM 2998 Digital Film Production I 3 ch (3C) (Cross-Listed: MAAC 2998) An introduction to the fundamental concepts and procedures of visual and audio production, including the techniques and aesthetics of shooting, lighting and editing. Over the course of the term, students will engage in a series of short exercises covering a variety of styles, genres and modes. Taught cooperatively with the New Brunswick Filmmakers’ Co-op. NOTE: Students who have received credit for MAAC/FILM 3999 may not take this course for credit. FILM 2999 Digital Film Production II 3 ch (3C) (Cross-Listed: MAAC 2999) This second course in the production sequence puts emphasis on application of skills learned in FILM 2998 by focusing on production of several short projects in various formats. Group work and analysis of student productions constitute the main course activities. Taught cooperatively with the New Brunswick Filmmakers’ Co-op. NOTE: Students who have received credit for MAAC/FILM 3998 may not take this course for credit. Prerequisite: FILM 2998, or permission of the instructor. Rationale: These two new second-year courses provide students with basic filmmaking techniques before moving on to upper-level courses that specialize in various aspects of filmmaking (sound, writing, documentary, acting, lens media/camera, etc.). The new, improved sequencing of courses means students will build upon their knowledge from one course to the next; it should also eliminate complaints that courses have been either offered out of order or offered with too much overlap in content. FILM 4001 becomes the regular capstone course for advanced students. GER 3024 Brecht and Theatre (O) 3ch [W] (Cross-Listed: WLCS 3024) This course offers an in-depth study of the life and the dramatic works of 20th-Century German playwright Bertolt Brecht as well as an exploration of the mechanics of theatre itself. Students will be introduced to the concept of epic theatre, and to aspects of performance and audience studies. They will also discuss the dramatic texts. Readings may include The Threepenny Opera, Life of Galileo, The Good Person of Szechuan, Mother Courage and Her Children, and The Caucasian Chalk Circle. Texts are read in English translation. There will be opportunities to read out and, if desired, act out selected scenes. No previous experience with drama required. Conducted in English. Open to students who have completed at

least 30 ch of university courses or by permission of the instructor. Students with credit for GER/WLCS 4033 may not take this course for credit.

Rationale: This course aims to enrich the current German curriculum, which does not have a course on the genre of drama and/or a particular author. This course was offered on a trial-basis in 2011 under the generic course GER/WLCS 4033 Seminar II: Author. Since the department would like to offer the course again, it needs a specific title and course description. HIST 3011 European Imperialism, 1815-1914 (O) 3 ch (3C) [W] Examines the evolution of European imperialism in Africa and Asia from the end of the Napoleonic Wars to the outbreak of the First World War. Topics to be covered include: causes of the revival of imperialism; the French conquest of Algeria; British expansion in South Africa; the evolution of British rule in India, French rule in Indochina, and Dutch rule in Indonesia; the European powers and informal imperialism in China; the expansion of European control in Africa; theories and practices of colonial rule; the role of explorers and missionaries; race, gender, and class in colonial societies; the promotion of imperialism in popular culture; and resistance to imperialism. Restriction: Not available for credit to students who have taken HIST 3008. HIST 3012 European Imperialism, 1914-1975 (O) 3 ch (3C) [W] Examines the evolution of European imperialism after the outbreak of the First World War, and ends with a detailed examination of post-1945 decolonization. Topics to be covered include: the impact of the First World War on European empires; gender, race, and class relations in colonial societies; cultures of imperialism in the 1920s and 1930s; the evolution of imperial systems of control; the rise of anti-colonial nationalist movements; the impact of the Second World War; counter-insurgency and colonial wars after 1945; the causes and dynamics of decolonization; and the legacies of empire. Prerequisite: prior completion of HIST 3011 an asset but not required. Restriction: Not available for credit to students who have taken HIST 3008. Rationale: Prof. Sean Kennedy has taught HIST 3008 (European Imperialism) on two occasions, in winter 2010 and fall 2011. While the experience has been generally positive, he has concluded that the course, which spans the period from roughly 1815 to 1975, is too broad for an upper-level offering. Replacing it with two courses (HIST 3011 and 3012) would allow for a deeper exploration of various topics, and a deeper engagement with the rapidly expanding scholarship in this field. He is quite willing – indeed eager – to devote more time to teaching this subject as well, as his own research interests are moving in the direction of the history of French imperialism. HIST 3355 Nature, Culture and the Canadian Environment (O) 3 ch (3C) [W] Examines the relationship of humans in their environment from the end of the last glacial period to the late 20th century. Topics include the impact of climate on the development of Canadian society, the evolution of human-animal relationships, changing ideas about nature, and political discourse on and regulatory solutions to pollution and other forms of environmental degradation. Rationale: This course is the result of a faculty-graduate student working group on the topic of Canadian environmental history. It has been taught on Registrar’s Warrant by a graduate student in the 2012 summer session, but Prof. Bill Parenteau is proposing to make it a regular offering that he will teach in conjunction with his doctoral students, who will rotate in and out of it as part of their teaching apprenticeships.

HIST 3375 Removal, Allotment, Termination, Self-Determination: American 3 ch (3C) [W] Indian Policy, 1824-2004 (O)

Examines the nature and evolution of American policies toward the Native peoples within its borders. Topics include the forcible seizure of Indian lands through war, the treaties and the creation of reserves, the drastic reduction of the reserves by the mid-20th century through “allotment,” subsequent federal government attempts to end its trusteeship of Indian lands and relocate Native people to the cities, and how – beginning in the 1960s – Native people began to assert significant control over their lives and lands. Restriction: Not available for credit to students who have taken HIST 3374.

HIST 3378 First Nations and Canadian Settler Society I: Pre-contact to the 1876 3 ch (3C) [W] Indian Act (O) Examines the complex relationship between First Nations and Canadian settler society, including in New France, in British North America, and during the first years after Confederation. Emphasizes the efforts of First Nations people to preserve their cultures and independence in the face of an increasingly powerful colonial state. Topics include pre-contact First Nation and European societies, early contact, the fur trade, treaties of peace and friendship, the Royal Proclamation of 1763, land surrender treaties, and the policy of the assimilation of First Nations people into Canadian settler society. Restriction: Not available for credit to students who have taken HIST 3374. HIST 3379 First Nations and Canadian Settler Society II: The 1876 Indian Act 3 ch (3C) [W] to the 2008 Apology for Residential Schools (O) Examines the complex relationship between First Nations and Canadian settler society, and emphasizes the federal government’s attempts to assimilate First Nations people into Canadian settler society and the resistance by First Nations people to these efforts through such means as court cases, protests, and cultural revitalization movements. Topics include the Indian Act and subsequent amendments, Indian residential schools, government agricultural policies, First Nations political organizations, the 1969 White Paper, the push for First Nations rights and self-government, land claims, and the federal government’s apology for residential schools. Restriction: Not available for credit to students who have taken HIST 3374.

Rationale: The three courses above are being proposed to extend and complement, but not to replace, the offering of HIST 3374 (listed below in Section B). Since HIST 3374 will continue to be taught as a 3ch online through CEL, we are requesting the keep this in the calendar, but plan to offer 3378 and 3379 as classroom options that will facilitate a deeper exploration of the various topics. The three new courses will also serve to support the development of the new First Nations Governance program, but will be available for any History students to take as well.

HIST 3418 North American Slavery (O) 3 ch (3C) [W] Examines the cultures and economies of Black slavery in North America and the Caribbean, and the role of the American Revolution in creating a slavery diaspora in such disparate locations as Nova Scotia, London, Sierra Leone, and Australia. Particular attention is given to slavery in Canada, including Canada’s role in the Underground Railroad movement, and the larger legacy of slavery and anti-Black racism in Canada and in North America more generally. A central theme is slave resistance, embodied in such actions as talking back, running away, committing arson, and participating in slave revolts and insurrections. Rationale: This course has been taught for the past few years on registrar’s warrant with high enrollment. We therefore propose to regularize it as an offering that both full-time faculty members and contract academic faculty will teach. MAAC 2095 Introduction to Video Games (O) 3ch (3C) [W] An introduction to the study of games as interactive electronic and digital media. Topics may include the history of computer games and videogames, game genres, the current structure of the games industry, and

an overview of game studies as an academic field. Assignments may include both written work and creative media projects. No previous experience with digital games is required.

Rationale: This is a foundation/gateway course to upper-level courses that treat digital games as interactive media [MAAC 3095, 3601 (see below), 4403]. Game studies is an academic field that no proper media studies program can afford to ignore. Incorporating digital games into the media mix that our students examine and work with keeps MAAC at the cutting edge of innovative curriculum. MAAC 2998 Digital Film Production I 3 ch (3C) (Cross-Listed: FILM 2998) An introduction to the fundamental concepts and procedures of visual and audio production, including the techniques and aesthetics of shooting, lighting and editing. Over the course of the term, students will engage in a series of short exercises covering a variety of styles, genres and modes. Taught cooperatively with the New Brunswick Filmmakers’ Co-op. NOTE: Students who have received credit for MAAC/FILM 3999 may not take this course for credit. MAAC 2999 Digital Film Production II 3 ch (3C) (Cross-Listed: FILM 2999) This second course in the production sequence puts emphasis on application of skills learned in FILM 2998 by focusing on production of several short projects in various formats. Group work and analysis of student productions constitute the main course activities. Taught cooperatively with the New Brunswick Filmmakers’ Co-op. NOTE: Students who have received credit for MAAC/FILM 3998 may not take this course for credit. Prerequisite: MAAC 2998, or permission of the instructor. Rationale: See FILM 2998 and 2999, above. MAAC 3601 Game Design (O) 3 ch (3C) The fundamental challenges of creating interactive gameplay are the subject of this course that introduces students to the processes employed by designers for the creation of a game. Students may interrogate notions of “gameplay” and the evolution of the medium, compare and re-design a variety of existing games, workshop ideas, and collaborate on projects in which they create their own game designs. This course is open to students who have completed at least 45 credit hours at university level. Rationale: Acts as an upper-level complement to MAAC 3095 Digital Game Studies (introduced in 2011-12’s curriculum). See above rationale for MAAC 2095. MAAC 5000 Honours Thesis 6 ch [W] A reading and research course open to students qualifying for Honours in Media Arts & Cultures. To enroll in this course, students must first arrange for a professor to supervise their thesis. The course will result in the writing of an Honours Thesis, normally 40-60 pages in length. Student may not enroll in both MAAC 5000 and MAAC 5980. Rationale: Basic thesis course for new Honours program. MAAC 5980 Honours Project 6 ch [W] A reading, research and creative practice course open to students qualifying for Honours in Media Arts & Cultures. To enroll in this course, students must first arrange for a professor to supervise their project. The course will result in the creation of a Media Arts Project along with a 10-15 page Project Paper. Students may not enroll in MAAC 5000 and MAAC 5980. Rationale: Alternative thesis (project) option for New Honours program

MUS 3794 Music and Cultural Identity (O) 3ch (3C) (Cross-Listed: WLCS 3794) This course will examine some of the ways in which cultural (national, regional, ethnic, class, etc.) identity is and has been expressed through music, as well as the origins, persistence, and dispersions of some of the resultant form and genres. This will also permit us to interrogate the stability and/or fluidity of various notions of identity. Critical and theoretical readings will be employed to explore the identity of culture groups and musical forms ranging from Tango to Blues, Opera to protest song, Flamenco to Hip Hop, from Hawaii to Russia, Canada to South Africa. This course will normally be team-taught; no previous musical background required. Open to students who have completed at least 30ch of university courses or by permission of the instructor. Rationale: This course is relevant to students interested in music studies, and also those with a broader interest in the Dept. of Culture and Language Studies. It brings together cultural issues of identity as expressed through the music of a people. It compliments other courses in music that look at the art in a broad context of social systems and fits well into the grouping of courses under WLCS. PHIL 3308 Plato’s Republic (O) 3ch [W] This course provides an in-depth study of Plato’s most important and influential dialogue—his masterpiece on justice, the Republic. We shall cover all of its major philosophical problems through a close reading of the whole dialogue, also taking account the role of the dramatic element of the dialogue for understanding those problems. PHIL 3601 Liberalism and Its Critics (O) 3ch [W] This course provides a contemporary treatment of key themes in liberal political theory, especially the work of John Rawls. We will pay special attention to his conception of freedom (both its worth and extent) and equality, as well as their compatibility and role in justice. The second half of the course considers some important communitarian critics of liberal political theory, including Alisdair MacIntyre, Michael Sandel and Charles Taylor. Rationale: Both new PHIL courses are being proposed to take advantage of the expertise of a new hire. POLS 3284 The Concentration of Power in Canadian Politics (A) 3ch (3C) [W] In recent years, there has been considerable focus on the role of Prime Minister in Canadian politics. Many believe power has become excessively concentrated in the hands of the Prime Minister and a handful of close advisors, with important implications for the democratic quality of our political system. This course examines the concentration of power in Canadian politics, looking at both theoretical and historical dimensions of the issue, as well as its manifestation in current political debates. Rationale: This course will enhance the department’s offerings in upper-year Canadian politics courses. It will provide students with a detailed and critical perspective on the operation of the Canadian political system. POLS 3614 Ethics and International Politics (O) 3ch (3C) [W] The course explores the importance of moral values, ethical reasoning, and reflection in international relations. It presents the concepts, theories, methods, and traditions of ethical analysis, and applies them to a wide range of transnational and global issues such as political reconciliation, human rights, war, foreign intervention, and economic sanction. It also examines the justice of international structures, institutions, and rules, as well as their impact on issues such as the moral obligation on the part of wealthy

states to provide economic assistance to poor nations or to admit a large number of refugees, the challenge of climate change and energy conservation, and the prosecution of crimes against humanity. Rationale: To expose students to a rapidly expanding area of political science and its sub-field of international relations. POLS 3645 Society, Politics and War in 5th-Century Greece (A) 3ch (3C) [W] An examination of the socio-political aspects of the late archaic and early classical periods in Greece. Themes surveyed include endemic class struggles, the social dimension of 5th-century BCE tragedy and comedy, the open political conflicts between the forces of democracy and the forces of oligarchy, the rise of Athenian imperialism, and the general sway of cultural criticism. Specific topics will range from mythological representations of war on the temples and the politics of Pericles’ ambitious building program to the peace plays of Aristophanes or the devastating plague in Athens at the outset of the Peloponnesian War. This course will be taught only in the Travel Study program and is designed to take advantage of the various site visits. Rationale: The Greece Travel Study Program is being expanded to include a Political Science course as well as the previous Classical Studies courses. POLS 4724 Topics in Environmental History and Politics (O) 3ch (3C) [W] This course surveys topics in North American environmental politics and history, including climate change, resource development, and water management. It examines the role of governments, the environmental movement, and industry. Finally, it examines how the environment as an idea has changed over time. Rationale: To respond to student interest and to build on Arts offerings in environmental studies. SOCI 2433 Social Problems (O) 3ch [W] This course is designed to provide students with an opportunity to develop an understanding of various sociological approaches to the study of social problems and to focus on a selection of substantive issues such as the role of social movements in the construction of social problems. Rationale: This course is currently being taught on Registrar’s Warrant and the department would like to have it on the books. SOCI 3563 Global Perspectives in Environmental Health (O) 3ch [W] Explores the broad conditions that shape environmental health, with special emphasis on both sociological analysis and political ecology. We will examine questions of science, public policy and social justice. This course will bridge the gap in understanding between policy and social perspectives and examine emerging strategies, from community-based monitoring to international negotiations concerning health and environment. Rationale: The department would like to take advantage of the expertise of a new hire. WLCS 3024 Brecht and Theatre (O) 3ch [W] (Cross-Listed: GER 3024) This course offers an in-depth study of the life and the dramatic works of 20th-Century German playwright Bertolt Brecht as well as an exploration of the mechanics of theatre itself. Students will be introduced to the concept of epic theatre, and to aspects of performance and audience studies. They will also discuss the dramatic texts. Readings may include The Threepenny Opera, Life of Galileo, The Good Person of Szechuan, Mother Courage and Her Children, and The Caucasian Chalk Circle. Texts are read

in English translation. There will be opportunities to read out and, if desired, act out selected scenes. No previous experience with drama required. Conducted in English. Open to students who have completed at least 30 ch of university courses or by permission of the instructor. Students with credit for GER/WLCS 4033 may not take this course for credit.

Rationale: See rationale for GER 3024, above. WLCS 3794 Music and Cultural Identity (O) 3ch (3C) (Cross-Listed: MUS 3794) This course will examine some of the ways in which cultural (national, regional, ethnic, class, etc.) identity is and has been expressed through music, as well as the origins, persistence, and dispersions of some of the resultant form and genres. This will also permit us to interrogate the stability and/or fluidity of various notions of identity. Critical and theoretical readings will be employed to explore the identity of culture groups and musical forms ranging from Tango to Blues, Opera to protest song, Flamenco to Hip Hop, from Hawaii to Russia, Canada to South Africa. This course will normally be team-taught; no previous musical background required. Open to students who have completed at least 30ch of university courses or by permission of the instructor. Rationale: See rationale for MUS 3794, above.

Section B: Changes to course number, title, credit hours, description or prerequisite

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY Change to Course Titles and Descriptions (Strikethrough old titles; new titles in bold; new descriptions only below) ANTH 1001 Introduction to Social & Cultural Anthropology The Human Experience: Socio-Cultural Approaches 3 ch (3C) What makes us different from each other?

DEPARTMENT OF CULTURE AND LANGUAGE STUDIES Change to Cross-Listings (Various CLS Programs) Existing Course New MAAC Cross-Listings New Additional Cross-Listing MUS 2797 MAAC 2797 MUS 3113 MAAC 3113 GER 3066/WLCS 3066 MAAC 3066 FILM 3066 GER 3072/WLCS 3072 MAAC 3072 FILM 3072 FILM Change to Course Description and Cross-Listing (New description below; new cross-listing in bold) FILM 3082 History of Canadian Cinema (A) 3ch (3C) [W] (Cross-Listed: MAAC 3082, WLCS 3082) Focuses on the first half-century of filmmaking in Canada and the nation's long struggle to develop and sustain a functioning film industry in the shadow of Hollywood. Readings and screenings trace the history of the movies in Canada from the silent era to the 1970s. Issues raised may include Canadian/American relations, national and regional identities, tensions between art and entertainment, media and cultural policy, representation of race, class, gender, and relation of Canadian film to other media (TV, radio, video) and other arts (painting, music, literature) in Canada. Open to students who have completed 45 credit hours, or with permission of the instructor.

Rationale: Revised course description and new cross-listing (MAAC 3082).

Change to Course Description and Prerequisite (New description and prerequisite only below) FILM 4001 Advanced Production 3ch (3C) (Cross-Listed: MAAC 4001) Students produce more complex films, developing a project from beginning to end, working on each other’s projects, and gaining hands-on experience in a variety of skilled positions on a film’s crew. Prerequisite: FILM 2999, or permission of the instructor. Rationale: Description and prerequisite updated. MEDIA ARTS & CULTURES Addition of [W] designation to the following MAAC courses MAAC 1001 MAAC 1002 MAAC 2001 Change to Course Descriptions, Titles and Prerequisites (Strikethrough old titles; new titles in bold; new descriptions only below) MAAC 3212 Lens Media Lens Media I 3 ch (LE)

Examines the principles of still image construction using digital technology. Covers the general theories of light in natural and artificial environments. Introduces notions of colour, form, line and texture as they relate to photographic image making. Workshop activity will provide students with skills in making still images in the studio and the natural environment. Prerequisite: Students will have normally have completed 45 ch. Students who have already completed MM 3212 for credit may not enrol in MAAC 3212. MAAC 3213 Applied Aspects of Virtual Reality Lens Media II 3 ch (LE) Explores the construction of a single image from multiple still photographs, and the concepts of aspect ratio and information density in image making. Students will examine how these images may be used to build immersive environments, and experiment with presentation technologies that expose consideration of physical and social presence in these environments. Prerequisite: MAAC 3212, or permission of the instructor. Students who have already completed MM 3213 for credit may not enrol in MAAC 3213. MAAC 4401 Animation Concepts Animation Principles 3 ch (LE) Examines animated image making across a variety of media (film, TV, games), all of which rely on the Phi Phenomenon identified in Gestalt theory. Small project assignments will introduce students to some common animation tools and course discussions will focus on the application of animation concepts to storytelling. Prerequisites: Students will normally have completed 60 ch. Students who have already completed MM 4401 for credit may not enrol in MAAC 4401. MAAC 4402 Maya-Studio Practice Animation Methods 3 ch (LE) Considers the practical aspects of storytelling using 3D model-building tools. Students will gain practical experience using current digital animation software such as Autodesk Maya®. Topics considered include modelling, skinning, texturing, lighting, animation, and rendering. Prerequisite: MAAC 4401, or permission from the instructor. Students who have already completed MM 4402 for credit may not enrol in MAAC 4402. Rationale: Changes done to bring the titles and descriptions of the above four courses in line with how they are now being taught. MAAC 4401 and 4402 work as a pair of courses on digital animation that combine all of these areas. The prerequisite ensures that a student cannot take only the more applied part without also having taken the more theoretical part (as they had been able to do in the past). WORLD LITERATURE AND CULTURE STUDIES Change to Description and Cross-Listing WLCS 3082 History of Canadian Cinema (A) 3ch (3C) [W] (Cross-Listed: MAAC 3082, FILM 3082) Rationale: Revised course description and new cross-listing with MAAC 3082. See details under FILM 3082 (Section B, above).

DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS Change to Course Number, Title and Description (Strikethrough old changes in title and number; new descriptions only provided)

ECON 1001 Economics in the Real World: Micro 1014 Principles of Microeconomics: Critical Perspectives 3ch (3C) [W] This course is an alternative introduction to microeconomics. The aim is to be less comprehensive than ECON 1013, but to go deeper into the core topics to provide a more thorough critical perspective. In the process, the political and philosophical ideas underlying conventional economic conclusions are examined. The limitations of conventional economic reasoning, and the biases that may exist, are exposed. Students with credit in ECON 1001, 1013 or 1073 may not take this course for credit.

ECON 1002 Introduction to the New Economy 1024 Principles of Macroeconomics: Critical Perspectives 3 ch (3C) [W] This course is an alternative introduction to macroeconomics. As in ECON 1023, the standard ‘neoclassical’ model is presented and explained. While this model has long been criticized by heterodox economists – those in other schools of thought than the neoclassical school – there was until recently a consensus within the neoclassical school itself. The 2007 financial meltdown, and the subsequent Great Recession, has changed that. This course exposes students to the ongoing debates, their historical roots, and their political implications. Students with credit in ECON 1002, 1023 or 1073 may not take this course for credit Rationale: See full rationale for all first-year course changes under next section below. Change to Course Title and Description (Strikethrough old changes in title; new descriptions only provided) ECON 1013 Introduction to Economics : Micro

Principles of Microeconomics 3 ch (3C) Economics studies the way individuals and groups make choices, how those choices are affected by incentives, and whether the resulting social arrangements can be improved by government intervention. Economics divides itself into two halves: micro and macro. Microeconomics focuses on smaller chunks of reality than macroeconomics. It focuses on individuals, firms, and products and seeks to understand (among other things) how prices and wages are determined, the effects of taxation, price ceilings (or price floors) and quotas. Key concepts provide a tool kit to analyze individual and group behaviour and the effects of public policy. Students with credit in ECON 1001, 1014 or 1073 may not take this course for credit. ECON 1023 Introduction to Economics : Macro

Principles of Macroeconomics 3 ch (3C) Economics divides itself into two halves: micro and macro. Macroeconomics is the study of larger chunks of reality than microeconomics, aggregates such as a country’s gross national product, its rate of inflation, and its unemployment rate. The standard (‘neoclassical’) model is constructed to explain interest rates and exchange rates, and helps us understand how the government can stabilize the economy, and the limitations of government policy, in an increasingly globalized world. This model also helps us understand why some countries are rich and others are poor. Students with credit in ECON 1002, 1024 or 1073 may not take this course for credit.

Rationale: The main introductory courses, the former 1013 and 1023, have been spruced up a bit. They have had a slight name change, and given a better course description.

The alternative introductory courses, 1001 and 1002, have had a name change, a change in course description to accord with the new names, and a change in course number. The reason for the change in

course number is to make it easier to see how they relate to the mainstream introductory courses. That is, 1013 and 1014 are now alternative courses dealing with micro, while 1023 and 1024 are alternative courses dealing with macro.

Change to Course Number and Prerequisite (Strikethrough old course number and deleted prerequisite; new number in bold)

ECON 3202 2203 Introduction to Public Finance Prerequisite: Any First Year Economics Course Rationale: The change of ECON 3202 to ECON 2203 reflects the actual level of the course since it does not require any prerequisite. All our third-year courses should have a first-year course as a prerequisite.

Change to Course Number (Strikethrough old course number; new number in bold)

ECON 5673 4673 Introduction to Game Theory Rationale: The change from ECON 5673 to ECON 4673 is to set this course at the undergraduate level only and thus make it more accessible to undergraduate Economics students

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH

Change in Course Description (New description only provided) ENGL 3400 The Romantic Period (A) 6ch (3C) [W] A study of English literature written between 1789 and 1832 in the context of intellectual, social, political, and religious forces. The course will focus on the Romantic poets but will include a selection of prose texts from the period. NOTE: Students cannot obtain credit for both ENGL 3400 and ENGL 3406 Rationale: This description was revised to remove the poets’ names and add an exclusion clause with the new 3 ch Romantics course.

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Change in Course Descriptions (New descriptions only provided) HIST 4002 Renaissance Society (O) 3 ch (3C) [W] Studies society and culture in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Europe. Focuses on developments in art, ideas and education (humanism, the occult sciences and medicine), commerce, familial and social relations, religious practice and cultural contacts with the “New World.” Rationale: This change better reflects the topics and geographic area covered in the course. HIST 3374 Native People and the State: From the Indian Act to the Royal 3 ch (3C) [W] Commission on Aboriginal People (O) Examines the complex relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Canadian state from the mid-1800s to the present. Emphasizes Canadian attempts to assimilate Aboriginal peoples and the means by which Aboriginal peoples have resisted these measures and sought to preserve their collective identities. Topics include: the Indian Act, residential schools, the rise of native political organizations, and the quest for Aboriginal rights and self-government. Rationale: The old description had a clause “recommended for students in the Law and Society Program,” which the department has decided to remove. In addition, on the recommendation of Senate Curriculum Committee, all exclusion clauses have been reworded. Instead of “Restriction: Not open to students who have taken…” they will now read “Restriction: Not available for credit to students who have taken…” Changes in Cross-Listings (Changes are in bold) HIST 3011 European Imperialism 1815-1914 (Cross-Listed: POLS 3011)

PHIL 3602 is being renumbered to to conform with other courses categorized under the newly formed stream of “Political Philosophy” (see section D, below). Changes to Course Title (Strikethrough old course titles; new titles in bold) PHIL 3311 Nietzsche’s Critique of Socrates Nietzsche on Socrates’ Death-Wish PHIL 3316 Michel Foucault’s Genealogy of “Sexuality” Michel Foucault on Sexuality and the Self PHIL 4432 Science and God Science vs God?

They require the approval of the Chair of the Department and the Dean of the student's Faculty, and are subject to the regulations for individual Studies published in the Intersession/Summer Session Calendar. Prerequisite: 30 ch, including at least 6 in Philosophy.

Rationale: The above course descriptions have been revised to reflect changes made to the PHIL program in previous years. Sentence Addition to Course Descriptions Rationale: In an effort to minimize student hesitation to take 3000-level courses, the department would like to add the following sentence “Open to 2nd year students and above” to the following courses: PHIL 3201 PHIL 3202 PHIL 3203 PHIL 3211-19 PHIL 3221-29 PHIL 3251 PHIL 3301 PHIL 3302 PHIL 3303 PHIL 3304 PHIL 3306 PHIL 3307 PHIL 3321-29 PHIL 3331 PHIL 3401-9 PHIL 3421 PHIL 3422 PHIL 3431 Change to Prerequisite (Change in bold)

DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE New Course Number (Strikethrough old course number; new number in bold) POLS 4721 3721 Rationale: Changing to a 4000-level course was a mistake. Please re-designate as POLS 3721. Change to Course Number and Description (Strikethrough old course number; new description below) POLS 3483 4483 Hegel & Marx Examines the theories of history and the historical process in Hegel and Marx, paying particular attention to the question of the causes of historical change. It then discusses these theories in their relation to Hegel’s and Marx’s political thought. (Students cannot earn credit for this course and POLS 3483.) Rationale: Responds to the Quality Assurance Review recommendations (2009) that we introduce upper-year seminars geared to Honours students. These courses will be identified with 4000-level numberings. Most of the new courses reflect the redesign and renumbering of 3000-level courses – course exclusions will prevent students from gaining credit for both.

Changes in Cross-Listing (Changes in bold) Three POLS courses are being newly cross-listed with HIST.

DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY Changes to Course Title (Strikethrough old title) PSYC 3323 Systems of Psychotherapy Approaches to Psychotherapy Rationale: The purpose of this proposed change is to ensure that students get a clear notion of what the course entails. In practice, this change aims to minimize the chances that student might be scared by the course content PSYC 4223 Sex and Gender: Differences in Similarities Topical Seminar in Sex and Gender Rationale: As of this year, this course will be taught as a seminar course by the Department. Given that Honours students in Psychology are required to take at least one seminar course, the name change will make explicit that taking this course allows them to fulfill the "seminar requirement." Change to Courses Title, Description and Prerequisite (Strikethrough old name; new description only provided) PSYC 3215 Development of Individuals with Disabilities Individuals with Exceptionalities A discussion of issues that may arise for individuals with various exceptionalities at different points in the lifespan. Topics may include prenatal testing, academic/vocational placement, independent living, and parenting. The causes, characteristics, and challenges of specific cognitive, language, sensory, and physical exceptionalities may be reviewed. Prerequisites: PSYC 2203. Credit may not be obtained for both PYSC 3215 and PSYC 4215. Rationale: To be more consistent with terminology in the field and also to broaden the topic to include giftedness.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY

Change to Course Description (New description only provided) SOCI 3706 Sociology of Colonialism and Post-colonialism 3ch [W] This course examines the transformation of societies from the colonial to the post-colonial period, a process still going on today. It explores how both colonial powers and colonized peoples have been importantly affected by colonialism, understood as a mode of power. It discusses how norms, rights, privileges, and interested have been articulated in colonial law, state processes, and social relations and looks at the difficulties that post-colonial societies have faced in trying to move beyond the colonial past. Rationale: The department wanted a condensed version of this description that still represents the content of the course.

Section C: Deletions

DEPARTMENT OF CULTURE AND LANGUAGE STUDIES

MAAC 4980 Senior Project Rationale: Capstone senior project removed from curriculum and revised as an Honours option only

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY

HIST 3008 European Imperialism Rationale: Content expanded into/replaced by two new courses. For details, see HIST 3011 and 3012 in Section A, above.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY

This is an effort to clean up Sociology’s offerings in the calendar to better reflect what we are currently teaching.

Section D: Changes to regulations and programs

FACULTY OF ARTS (and Science and Computer Science) BAS Regulations No substantive changes have been made to these regulations. We have reworded the introductory description of the “three groups of students” to whom the program is designed to appeal, hoping to make the description categorize less and invite more. This paragraph now reads as follows:

This Joint Program allows students

to experience academic work in both Faculties before committing themselves to a specialization; to gain a broader and more systematic exposure to disciplines outside that specialization; and to prepare for subsequent degree programs that permit or encourage a broader distribution of

courses; such programs include the General Science Program and various pre-professional programs leading to study in dentistry, medicine, veterinary medicine, optometry, and physiotherapy.

Numerous copy edits were made for clarity and consistency. The lists of disciplines available as Majors options and as first-year course options were updated to include the newly renamed Media Arts & Cultures, to list Ancient Greek and Modern Greek separately as first-year languages, and to add Archaeology as a first-year Social Sciences option. The sentence on admissions, rather than referencing the BA and BSc requirements separately, now refers to “the entrance requirements for the BAS as outlined in the Admission Requirements Table,” since this is now available. BA/BSc Regulations The same updates to discipline lists noted above for the BAS were made to these regulations, and numerous copy edits for clarity and consistency were made. One major change of this sort was to remove references to the BA/BSc as a “Joint Program” and replace them with “concurrent program.” This change is for accuracy and consistency and to avoid confusion with the BAS. We have also removed references to “specialization” and used “Major(s)” and “Honours” consistently to avoid confusion with the BAS (where students do a Science “Specialization” and an Arts “Supplementary Major,” the latter of which is equivalent to one half of a Double Major). To allow students who may want to do a Double Major or Joint Honours on the Arts side of their BA/BSc to do so, we have revised an existing sentence that follows the list of Single Major/Honours options in Arts as follows (new content in bold):

In addition, interdisciplinary programs in International Development Studies, Law in Society, and Women’s Studies are available as part of an Arts Double Major or Joint Honours; however, students are advised that completing a Double Major or Joint Honours in Arts will require more credit hours than a Single Major or Honours.

BA/BCS Regulations The same updates to discipline lists noted above for the BAS and BA/BSc were made to these regulations, and copy edits for clarity and consistency were also made. Several references to “Joint

Program” were changed to “concurrent program,” as noted above for the BA/BSc. The sentence mentioned above regarding Double Majors and Joint Honours was also added here. Substantively, there is just one small change, for consistency with our BA regulations. A line under Program of Study, First Year, that used to read “Humanities or Languages, 6 ch” has been changed to “6 ch in either one Humanities discipline or one Language.” Two new ECON first-year courses (1014 and 1024) were added as possible alternatives to the existing first-year ECON requirements. The following regulation has been removed because a more accurate and comprehensive version is already contained in the BA Regulations, which govern the Arts side of the degree:

Students should note that at least half the advanced-level credits counted towards a Major/Honours/Minor in an Arts subject must be from courses taken at the University of New Brunswick. Exceptions may be considered by the Dean of Arts.

DEPARTMENT OF CULTURE AND LANGUAGE STUDIES

Film Studies Minor The following courses will be added to the Film Studies Minor: FILM 2998 Digital Filmmaking I (Cross-Listed MAAC) FILM 2999 Digital Filmmaking II (Cross-Listed MAAC) FILM 3183 Screenwriting and Writing for the New Media (Cross-Listed ENGL) FILM 3082 History of Canadian Cinema (Cross-Listed MAAC, WLCS) FILM 3066 Trauma and Seduction: Early German Cinema (Cross-Listed GER, MAAC, WLCS) FILM 3072 (Re)constructing National Identity: Contemporary German Cinema (Cross-Listed GER, MAAC, WLCS) Film Production Certificate The following courses will be added to the Electives in the Film Production Certificate: FILM 2998 Digital Filmmaking I (Cross-Listed MAAC) FILM 2999 Digital Filmmaking II (Cross-Listed MAAC) FILM 3066 Trauma and Seduction: Early German Cinema (Cross-Listed WLCS, GER, MAAC) FILM 3072 (Re)constructing National Identity: Contemporary German Cinema (Cross-Listed WLCS, GER, MAAC) FILM 3082 History of Canadian Cinema (Cross-Listed MAAC, WLCS) German Studies GENERAL INFORMATION (new description only below)

German Studies is an Interdisciplinary Minor and Major Program that provides the opportunity to combine the study of the language, literature, history, political science, and various socio-cultural aspects of the German-speaking peoples within the context of a larger Europe. The attainment of German language proficiency is an integral part of German Studies.

The program is administered by the German unit in the Department of Culture and Language Studies. The nature of area studies allows students to take a certain number of courses in other departments at UNB and STU (History, Political Science, and Philosophy).

Rationale: This small change was brought to the Dept.’s attention during a more extensive revision process last year but was too late for inclusion in the 2012-2013 calendar. Media Arts & Cultures The main change to Media Arts & Cultures is the addition of the Honours program. Students complete an additional 12 ch of upper level courses, 6 ch of which are a thesis, either in traditional written form, or in the form of a creative project. The project option is common feature of critical/creative interdisciplinary media arts programs today. It will be structured similar to MAAC 4980 (formerly MM 4980), the 4th-year Senior Project that has been a part of the MAAC program (formerly, the Multimedia program) since its earliest days. The other changes to the regulations involve the option of completing either 9 or 12 ch at the lower level, with no specific course required (now simplified to 12 ch only, with either MAAC 2001 or MAAC 2021 required) and the change in the requirements of the Film Production option from MAAC 3999 to MAAC 2999. The MAAC Minor Program is unchanged, and so this section has been left out of the regulations below, which otherwise are printed in full. General Information

Media Arts & Cultures is an interdisciplinary program that combines the study of media forms, texts, and contexts with a hands-on approach to creativity and technology. In this program, students learn about media by making media. They not only consider, critique, and engage intellectually with media, but also learn tools and techniques with which media content is created today. In Media Arts & Cultures, we blur the line between critical consumers and creative producers, between scholars of media and authors of media.

Honours, Majors, and Minors

Students interested in Media Arts & Cultures have the following five options:

Honours in Media Arts & Cultures Honours in Media Arts & Cultures (Film Production) Major in Media Arts & Cultures Major in Media Arts & Cultures (Film Production) Minor in Media Arts & Cultures

Honours programs are for students who are interested in a concentrated course of study (typically in preparation for further studies). The Film Production options are designed to allow students with an interest in filmmaking to focus their MAAC elective courses in this area. All students electing the Film Production option still complete all of the core courses for the general Media Arts & Cultures program. The Minor consists of 24 ch of MAAC courses for students majoring in other disciplines. Joint Honours and Double Majors with Media Arts & Cultures are also possible.

HONOURS

Honours in Media Arts & Cultures

Admission to the Honours Program in Media Arts & Cultures is open to qualified students who have

completed 45 ch of courses toward the BA degree. Normally students will have completed (or be in process of completing) 12 ch in lower level MAAC courses. Students should apply for admission to the Media Arts & Cultures Honours Program in their fourth term. Students may enter the program during their third year, if they qualify.

To be admitted to Honours, the student must have achieved an average of 3.3 (B+) in their Media Arts & Cultures courses. Also, an average of 3.3 in MAAC courses and of 2.5 in non-MAAC courses must be maintained if the student is to retain Honours standing.

Since the 1950s Music at UNB has supported a musician-in-residence program, feeling it important to have music professionals available to all students on the UNB campus for consultation and performance. With the appointment of a Director of Music in 1992, the Faculty of Arts made the decision to support a more academic view of music, including offering a range of music courses for credit and developing a Minor in Music. Since that time, the Music program has expanded to include a wide range of academic credit courses, performance studies and co-curricular programs. In the Atlantic region, most universities offer a Major in Music (whether as a full Bachelor of Music or as a major in a BA), and within the group of comparable universities across Canada, UNB is the only one not to offer such a concentration in music. STU offers Music within a broad Fine Arts context, while the UNB program would be grounded in the Humanities. The Double Major in Music Studies being proposed here within the Faculty of Arts is not as focused on music as professional studies (such as a Bachelor of Music would be) but is envisioned as following the requirements of a traditional BA degree. This allows the program to be accessed by a broader community of students and makes it more interdisciplinary. The study of music can be useful for students for much more than general interest. Those destined for careers in education, media research, music therapy, sound recording, music criticism and numerous other fields will find a Major in Music a useful springboard. Also, many opportunities exist for further study at the Master’s level. UNB is well positioned to offer this program. Music course offerings over the last number of years have been consistent in enrollment and interest and recently there is a heightened interest for the creative courses. With the move of Music to the Dept. of Culture & Language Studies there is great opportunity to position music within a broader context. The growth of the Media Arts and Cultures program, which has strong connections with music, will be built upon, strengthening both programs. The department is exploring an integrated cultural context model of which music will be a critical part. As an example of this point, a new team-taught course is currently being developed.

The Director of Music is now a member of Culture and Language Studies and teaches an average of 3 courses per year. The department also receives 8 (indexed) stipends annually from the VPA’s office. That means we are able to offer 11 MUS courses annually, in addition to other offerings in our department, some of which (MAAC 3362 Sound Design, for ex.) are offered annually or biannually (see lists below), as well as courses from other units (HIST, STU, etc.). This is more than enough to ensure the regular availability of sufficient courses for the Double Major. The regulations for the proposed new program are printed below in full. Double Major in Music Studies A student choosing a Double Major in Music Studies will take at least 24 ch of upper-level credits from a range of courses, both academic and creative. The selection of courses will be based on a student’s background, interests and aspirations and will be made in consultation with the Director of Music. Admission requirements Admission is open to any student who has completed 45 ch of the BA program. All students considering declaring a Double Major in Music Studies must consult with the Director of Music. Program Requirements In Year 1 and 2, students shall take: MUS 1001, MAAC/WLCS 2021 Popular Culture, and two of the following courses: MUS 2113, 2114, 2123, or 2124. Taking 6 ch of a second language is strongly recommended in Year 1 along with an additional 6 ch of a second language in Year 2. In Years 3 and 4, students shall take 24 ch including at least 18 ch from Group A and 6 ch from either Group A or B (below). In both cases, courses from Group C (below) may be substituted at the appropriate level with permission of the Director of Music. Other pertinent courses may be taken after consultation with the Director of Music.

DRAMA PROGRAM Drama Minor The English Department has agreed to list GER/WLCS 3023 as an option under “Other Electives” for the Drama Minor, as requested by the Culture and Language Studies Department.

At the end of the DRAMA Program description, the following course is to be added to the list of electives, subsection “Other Electives”:

GER/WLCS 3023 Berlin to Broadway: Musical Theatre Across the Oceans

DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS

The department would like to delete most of the information from the sections entitled “Economics Programs to Business Administration Students” and “Economics Programs to Science Students,” as this is best conveyed in those Faculties’ program sections. A brief note at the beginning of each section directs students to those locations.

The “Programs of Study” section and the “Economics Programs to Arts Students” have been updated to reflect the changes to first-year courses detailed in Section B, above.

DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY

1. Under Honours, Majors and Minors, in the Single Honours subsection, the description will be revised as follows:

Single Honours students normally take 42 ch of upper-level History courses. A minimum of 27 ch of these must be at the 5000-level and must include History 5900 (6 ch). 5000-level seminars must be chosen from at least two fields of History. Students are encouraged to take 18 ch of courses in other disciplines that complement their studies in History.

Rationale: the Department has decided to reduce the number of upper-level credits required for an Honours degree from 48 ch to 42 ch in order to facilitate the possibility of students taking seminars in other disciplines.

2. Revisions will also be made to the General Information section as follows: (Strikethrough old subhead; new one in bold; new text only below)

Cross-listed courses eligible for history credit Credit Courses from Cognate Disciplines

The following courses may be counted for advanced credit in the Department of History up to a maximum of 12 ch:

Classics CLAS 3003/3013 Greek History CLAS 3033/3043 Roman History CLAS 3053 Roman Army CLAS 4063 Caesar Augustus CLAS 3073 Jewish Civilization CLAS 3803 Graeco-Roman Background of the New Testament CLAS 3813 The Early Church CLAS 3463 History of Modern Greece German GERM 3061 From Peoples to a Nation: German Culture before 1900 GERM 3071 Germany Today: German Culture from 1900 to Present Political Science POLS 3247 Trudeau’s Canada POLS 3251 Canadian Federalism POLS 3416 Canadian Political Thought POLS 3441 Women Political Thinkers POLS 3243 Canadian American Relations Rationale: We are proposing to change the title of this section; it is misleading since these courses are not actually cross-listed. We are also proposing to add two German courses to the list and we have reformatted the list as a list rather than a block of text.

DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY

To take advantage of the expertise of a new hire, we propose adding another category to the regions of study table (presently running from A-E). Under F. Courses in political philosophy will be listed the following two courses:

Under Section C: Courses in the history of philosophy, the following will be added or updated: PHIL 3308 Plato’s Republic (New Course) PHIL 3311 Nietzsche on Socrates’ Death-Wish (Title Change) PHIL 3316 Michel Foucault on Sexuality and the Self (Title Change)

Under Section D: Courses in metaphysics and epistemology, the following will be updated: PHIL 4432 Science vs God? (Title Change)

In the Minors, Majors and Honours section, under Minors, various courses will be added as options (shown in bold).

2. A Minor in Ethics will consist of two 1000 level courses and 18 credit hours from PHIL 2201, PHIL 2203, PHIL 2204, PHIL 2206 , PHIL 3201 , PHIL 3202 , PHIL 3203 , PHIL 3211–19, PHIL 3221-29.

Certain courses in the Department of Classics and Ancient History and in the Department of Philosophy at STU may also be included with the approval of this Department.

In the Certificate in Ethics section, under “Possible Courses,” the following changes will be made:
